    Computer/Turtle Craft Scripts (Share & Request)

    Well then only one thing is left to be said.

    Redpower going the way of Nandonalt's Mods?

    I only objected to the generalization. I'm not so bribable by beer, but you could buy me with good coffee. :) It's a sensitive issue for me as in this particular startup I'm doing a lot of work on hiring tech and... man... it's brutal. I think the Kixeye thing was a good example of what can...

    Computer/Turtle Craft Scripts (Share & Request)

    The computercraft forums are indeed the best place to go. Don't go to that one site I won't name that is trying to set up a "community" around computercraft with "premium" scripts. The quality of the code (and the people who wrote it) will make your eyes melt.

    Redpower going the way of Nandonalt's Mods?

    If you had to ask, "What are the 3 biggest social problems in the culture of western software engieers today?" The first would be unrelenting misogyny, the second would be barely functional alcoholism, and the third would be nearly crippling personal insecurity. If you aren't aware, that's...

    Redpower going the way of Nandonalt's Mods?

    Please do not encourage the brogrammer culture anymore than society already is. It's toxic.

    Does anyone have a link to a bee breeding guide that is not: Done by a mouth-breathing 13 year old who has never heard of the concept of "re-take." Is not just a guide to the structure recipes. Is not 6 hours of unwatchable conversation on teamsepak. Actually contains examples of why you would...

    Suggest Mods for FTB Here

    Harken Scythe is pretty cool, actually. It has every bit as much a place in an industrial pack as Thaumcraft does.

    Evidently the stone bees are there so you can extract their delicious genes via breeding, not their delicious honey via centrifuge. DW20 seemed very enthusiastic about the nocturnal trait they all have in his recent SMP letsplays.

    Buildcraft Energy routing?

    Every forum thread eventually resembles a Sierpinski Triangle of topics. But I too further contribute to the off-topic portions by apologizing for said portions.

    Buildcraft Energy routing?

    Also agreed. My twitter stream shows how I feel about Java recently. Displeased KirinDave is displeased. The quasi-legal refers to the actual status of the project. People rumor that Krapht is just working on LP2 in secrecy. If that's the case then it'd be nice for him to make that...

    Buildcraft Energy routing?

    Actually Eloraam's only possible path to personal compensation is open sourcing. I tell kids coming out of college this all the time. Open sourcing your projects is a selfish action and you should be selfish. Having an engaging, current, and diverse open source portfolio opens so many doors to...

    Buildcraft Energy routing?

    I agree, actually. I've said numerous times that Eloraam's license is not legally supportable. But why would I want to improve that mod in any way? Likelihood of that mod being used in TekkitL or FTB? Rapidly approaches 0. I'm already working on a mod of my own. I'm not going to waste my time...

    The most underused starting strategies?

    I have similarly reversed my stance on turtles somewhat so long as the fuel value is not set to 0, which was my original experience. I think a surprising balance consideration is how ephemeral turtle memory is. If they were more persistent, they'd be way better. EE2 is a fun diversion and if...

    Buildcraft Energy routing?

    A pretty recent change I had yet to pick up on. I stand corrected. Good on Sengir. Here's hoping he'll go one step further and open source the mod. Cursory examination of the site suggests he has not. True, but Mojang has enabled this and has allowed modders to collect advertising revenue on...

    Is there a list of all the weapons added by FTB (Mindcrack)?

    No one's even touching the tons of interesting stuff you can get in the Twilight Forest. There are weapons that summon undead to fight for you, as well as armor with free good enchants.

    Which is more efficient in term of long term lava consumption? Magmatic engines, or geothermal generators outputting to tuned electric engines?

    Mindcrack and Mystcraft

    If you make the gravitation engine in Gregtech hardmode all balance concerns are off. That is a serious undertaking. Sort of like the people who had swiftwolf's without collectors to prove a point, you just throw up a picture of Neil Van De GrassTyson and move on.

    Stories Full of Win

    Last night my wife reported, "Oh hey what's this? A big hedge maze in the twilight forest?" We immediately geared up (I went full nanosuit and saber, my friend went full TC with multiple wands, my wife went with an infinite power bow). We spend fully 45 minutes making gear, farming xp...

    Aura and You: All About Thaumcraft 3 Aura Mechanics

    I'm pretty sure it is based off absolute distance, not planar distance. My original base has silverwood-generated nodes almost right on top of the local underground node and they have never tried to merge.
