They just seem so homogenous at this point. Once I saw one with more than one sorter, the only new things I see involve sortrons and no one is cowboy enough to actually use that amazing machine. P.S., pretty sure spillage is a problem for both systems; it's just got different expressions.

At the high levels of the armor you are as tough as a gravity suit user. Lol at your iron consumption though. :) MPS is getting updated constantly with awesome. I've never experienced a mod that is getting this much better this quickly.

Depends which pack. MindCrack and DW20 have substantially different questions for us to answer.

I actually think I'm going the other way with my modpacks and I'm going to add GregTech, Advanced Machines, and Applied Energistics to DW20. This gives people on my server a very nice range of options to select. MPS is great in many ways, but some people just like to stick to what they know. I...

I can't do the same thing even twice before crushing ennui sets in. I genuinely envy you.

Yeah. It's one of the most under-appreciated machines in TE (up there with the steam engine). For folks who do not know: just remember that this device can go crazy out of control if not controlled carefully. Buildcraft gate logic on the output is the bare minimum you should be able to do.

This is good work an all, but aren't you guys incredibly bored of RP2 multi-sort systems by now? They're the ez-mode of sort systems in terms of resource costs and difficulty, and have very middle-of-the-road characteristics.

If you have TE machines, there is almost no reason to ever do anything but void/burn your cobble. The Igneous Extruder can make infinite cobble which is then immediately lava-ized. Even a little bit of starter lava will do, since last time I checked the IE uses 0 lava to produce cobble. The...

I dunno why they need to be more costly. 25% power cost is pretty huge until you have pretty massive (multi-boiler) power generation. I mean, compare that to the cost of chained redstone energy cells (which I still use in many cases over tesseracts). Power tesseracts are really great for...

Even in DW20 they require a bunch of iron unless you have an enderman soul shard. DW20 puts a huge demand on your iron supply as you ascend to higher tiers of tech.

You can always convert later. It's more about asking, "Can I sustain this device?"

A Tree farm of any sort of sufficient size should keep low-pressure boilers going so long as it's automated. Some people love to make high pressure boilers, but I think it's wiser to start with a low pressure boiler and make sure you can sustain that before moving to the HP boiler, which appears...

Hmm. I'd have to play to see how I feel. The thing is, at a sufficient point in the tech curve you cover ground so fast it's hardly troublesome... Eventually I had something like this before we gave up on that world. Ender chests and pouches are expensive at first. The Nether is a hostile...

Logistics pipes is awesomely powerful. I am not disputing that. AE's wireless order thingie has upgradability that is pretty impressive. I haven't figured out if it can cross dimensions yet. But part of me doesn't want that. One of the things I miss about IC2-style gameplay is lugging...

They are insanely good at it. An intelligent straw golem and a single perceptive golem in a chunkloaded mixed-plant farm will exceed all expectations. Superior and intelligent golems are also incredibly good as a sorting system. I'm finally implementing this in a non-test world and the design...

You can put a mirror above an IF and just have it dump all contents. Anything it can't process is lava-ified. I have this sneaking suspicion that soon Azinor will add a way to link multiple mirrors and filter by item type up in that higher dimensional space. :) By the way, I've never hit a...

It's hard to put into words. Bad aji? AE tastes better at first. Logistics pipes are omnipipes but are also, um... just pipes. At least AE has an entertaining metaphor.

That is quite a bottom you've got there. Aside, I thought I was stoked on logistics pipes for awhile, but then I realized I am sort of... not. I think I see why people dislike it now. I wonder if in a week I'll feel the same way about AE.

Check your hand again; you aren't holding a victim card. You can find sponsors, but you'd need to give people a reason to sponsor you. You may be a terrible person or an awesome person. We just don't know. My advice is to try and do something that shows people you're worth sponsoring then as...

Damn. Nice objects. Let's address your stuff in order: "... the walls were uneven as hell, and it only got me ONE crystal chest full of stuff, as opposed to my Quarry getting me 10-16." Correct. Ore density at lower levels is much higher than at upper levels. The quarry slices in exactly the...
