0.05, 1 and 6, actually. ;) Unless that just changed in 1.7.x. What about Applied Energistics, by the way? That's a pure consumer mod. How much power do you guys usually pour into it?

One mod which I think has its power creation and consumption pretty much down pat is IC2, actually. You start out really low with the basic machines, but the more advanced ones (and especially the thermal centrifuge) get really hungry. And then you can overclock. And if you still have something...

I've recently started up a new Minecraft server for friends and me after a half-year hiatus. It's still 1.6.x for now (because not all mods that we wanted have ported yet), but even with that, there's quite a few things and even a number of mods that I've never tried before. Thing is, between...

Obsessively so. :confused:

Upon being disappointed about aircraft engines vs. tank engines: As mentioned before, both are gas turbines. A gas turbine is a brayton cycle internal combustion engine with a large compressor for air intake. What you use it for doesn't matter so much for the purposes of calling it a gas...

I'm... actually not sure, nowadays. That used to be a thing more early-on, when there were far less ranks. My memory is hazy so it's entirely possible that I misrepresent things (which is why I avoided using it as an example above), but I think it went something like this: you had "member"...

I blame little green men, and that's the story I'm sticking with!

There are also some ranks (like "Mod Dev") that you can't get by points. The forum administration gives them to people based on merit - for example, if you clearly are a mod developer (you have the MCF thread to prove it and stuff), and you're active on the FTB forums, then you'll probably find...

Pssst, Fahrenheit is also a linear scale... The unit used by IC2 reactors is neither of these three, though. Most people assume degrees Celsius, largely because just about the entire IC2 team is German and that's the scale used in Germany. However, there's two pieces of evidence against that...

It'll be interesting to see whether or not 1.8 reverses that trend. Mojang claims a massive amount of performance optimizations. Also, since it released today, it probably won't take long to find out... well, for vanilla vs vanilla comparisons anyway. I predict we'll have a stable Forge...

An automatic mode ("managed") multifarm can't do precisely what you're looking at. Yes, you can configure a sector to be a vegetable farm or a crop farm; but, all vegetable farm sectors and all crop farm sectors will be managed as one. In other words, you split your farm 50/50 with that setup...

Cauldron does it automatically in the background, too. :) (Originally integrated from the Spigot project which was the first to identify and tackle the issue) And yes, Twilight Forest is extremely performance hungry, but not while it is (properly) unloaded.

Great collection, commendable effort. This thread is much better than your last. ;)

Really? Awesome. I'm going to set this right this instant. Thanks!

Can I suggest a better-than-steel transmission option that isn't diamond or bedrock? Ironically this suggestion isn't cost-motivated; I wouldn't mind if it was expensive in its own right. No, I'm just someone who likes the challenge of designing my power system to the bottom of its depth, and...

Seriously, try running on Cauldron. Even on 1.6.x, I got significant performance increases from that. We're talking in the neighbourhood of one third to one quarter the tick time, and that's on a 4.2 GHz Haswell CPU, not some old and crummy machine. I'm currently running TechWorld 2 modpack...

I think that the issue here is partly that many modders are game designers only by hobby, if at all, and the fact that you can't really compare Minecraft and Factorio in the first place. I mean, on the surface there's a fairly similar feel about tech modded Minecraft and Factorio, in the sense...

An update: This was super hard to get a hold on, but at the moment I am fairly convinced that this is a Java 8 issue. Not 8.20 mind you, I'm well aware that that doesn't work; I have 8.05 in use right now. And it works quite well, really. No issues. Except when you try and use the...

...The heck? I've been away for modded Minecraft and FTB for the past eight months, because at the time a KSP addiction coincided with a general feeling of a degeneration in quality of the FTB community as a whole due to modding-related drama - I noticed a good number of active FTBers going out...

I have a server based on Techworld 2 (but with updated mod versions) that I play on with a friend - there's just the two of us. I start it up only when both of us have time to play together. For the first two evenings, this ran fine. Then sometime in the middle of the third, my friend started to...
