First world problems, minecraft style. :)

Ehhhhhh, not really. Enderpearls are hardly difficult to farm in the modpacks we have to discuss (because RP2 gives us a cheap-as-in-free 2 shot weapon for endermen and enderman AI is dopey). Perhaps I'd agree more if Thaumcraft wasn't installed, perhaps. Thaumcraft keeps you out at night and...

I'm not sure, uh, what this conversation is about anymore. But I think it's cool you corrected me, I acknowledged your correction politely and refuted it, and instead of returning that courtesy you just ignored it. I can see this conversation is proceeding in symmetrically good faith. I'm not...

There goes your "small edge in resource" argument... Incorrect, although I grant it's a heck of an edge case. If your pulverizer is on a chunk boundary from your engine and the engine is on and the pulverizer chunk becomes unloaded, the stirling engine can explode. Your generator costs...

I think it'd be cool to see TE-component recipes and some sort of "charging station."

Just two hobbyist steam engines can blow up gold conductive pipe easily. Especially if your pipe layout involves branches and not a star configuration for power (i.e., the way everyone does it because it looks cool). If you do not know this, you should go into creative mode and experiment. I...

I ahve almost totally removed inline filters and sorters and soon I will have all RP2 pipes gone. Those people with slower computers on my server have noticed a substantial improvement in their performance. It is crazy that routing turtles are actually less laggy given that they're a whole...

One of the reasons people stick with FTB (and Tekkit) is that the modpack maintainers work to ensure that you can smoothly update the world as often as possible.

It also works with a pulverizer. It's funny how EE has consistently introduced this problem. Every other recipe EE offers is something I am okay with, except for this one. That said, it doesn't really do much anymore except make it easier to make magma cremes for potions. The heat value of...

You'd need at least a stirling engine and a pulverizer powered by a stirling engine will be intolerably and agonizingly slow. And what I was driving at is that setup can still blow up if you leave it on. If you're going to argue that 100% safe MJ power management is not middle tier than your...

That's awesome. I cannot wait. One of the big missing parts of the MJ power ecosystem is the lack of alternative equipment options. After playing with the tinker table for a few hours last night I was blown away by how well that mod is designed; you can have flight better than anything but the...

I'm so confused what the point of this argument is. Why can't IC2 just be an older mod with a different idea of "balance?" If you want to give a compelling argument about the Macerator, it's simple: it's way easier to get early game. Way, way, way, way easier. The total cost of ownership and...

Coal coke, alumentum and peat still work pretty well in solid fuel boilers. And they don't require you to solve the riddle of steel or look for two snakes coming together over your head, which is a plus in a post 1990 game. But I thought that solid fuel low pressure boilers were always more...

100 blocks would not be nearly enough for that kinda vis usage... Or maybe it would be with the new reduced bore cost.

They're releasing 5.1.1 to fix. But it seems like the asset server they use is having some pretty tough times.

That is really interesting. I wonder if a block placing golem is in our future... The thing is, the time taken to get >200% yield will be pretty tiresome. You can still get a >200% yield (albeit smaller) by using a hybrid TE/TC system (you can see my base tour posts for pictures; it's not...

I wonder if wrath lamps could be abused somehow.

This sounds interesting, but isn't light level management still important?

This is not true. You do not get a common mutation every single time you breed any two non-extra worldgen bees together. You get the opportunity for a common on most combinations in most packs. We've tried to stabilize our common line four times to no avail. Only if you maximize your...

I am telling you with 100% certainty, right now, that this is false. I have a 5.1.0 server and I can confirm it doesn't. The config specifically disables all recipes but GT recipes, and the general policy is "manual configs override inferred settings."
