    The rebirth of IC2 ?

    IC2 has always taken a slightly more hard-core path than many mods. Greg took that to a new level, but the core aesthetic of making things complicated - machines and cables blowing up, losing machines when breaking them, non-stackable crafting recipe items, etc. - has always been there at the...

    No, pneumatic servos everywhere.

    A technical question about MJ.

    I tend to stick with a single frequency, and throttle the output by placing an energy cell at the destination. That allows me to get burst output of up to 400 MJ/t if I smother it with output conduits. Keeps my Extra Bees machines humming even when I have 7 of them running for a short while.

    A technical question about MJ.

    AIUI, the tess will be taking 100 and sending 75 due to th3 25% loss. Or maybe 85, loss may be 15% I'm not too sure. Receiving tesseracts will be sharing this MJ. All the rest will be lost. How you are runnung 2 quarries at full speed is a mystery. Are your tesseracts set to Send/Receive? The...

    Thermal Expansion 3.0!!! No More Beta! Thanks KL!

    Sounds like a big change to me, and opens up a few questions. Now each duct can have 6 collars, are they removable? Do they pop off if the connection disappears?

    Molten Emerald

    No apology necessary, updating an old discussion with a new solution is very much welcome in my opinion.

    You can't enchant Tinker's Construct tools through the normal method. You have to use materials, such as redstone for efficiency, lapis for fortune, a silky jewel for silk touch, etc.

    FTB Store. Looking for input on what people want.

    He sometimes does his SSP on a server, and he did auction a guest appearance last year for Child's Play. The guy helped build his turtle/drill/frame mining monster.

    Thermal Expansion 3.0!!! No More Beta! Thanks KL!

    That's one of the advantages of watching Let's Plays. Some say "why watch others playing the game when you can play it yourself", but seeing how things work is the main reason I watch DW20. Especially when there's something as game-changing as a completely new version of TE or TC.

    Liquid Tesseract limits

    Tesseracts have no limit, they are just a direct connection from one place to another. If a pipe at one end can output 1 hojillion mb/t and a pipe at the other end can receive 1 hojillion mb/t then the tesseract just connects one to the other and let's them do their thing.

    Too many Diamonds in Unleashed

    No-one has actually "fought" over it in two and a half days.

    Those little things that irk you about Minecraft

    Don't you just make and upgrade them through LV and MV as you get the resources? I set up a Fabricator production line for the first few, then switched over to using AE which always seemed to make 1 extra panel every time it crafted an array.

    SS1 was widely criticized for being overpowered, the rate that it could spawn mobs at and that they worked even when the player was up to 100 blocks away. It's a no-win situation, I feel sorry for anyone who sticks their neck out by releasing and updating a mod.

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    I haven't heard of any other mods that add spawners like SS1. The only mods that I know of that provide mob spawning on demand are SS2 and MFR (Auto Spawner + Safari Net + Mob Essence + BC power).

    DW 1.6 Pack?

    Re-stating something ambiguous does not clarify the ambiguity. They have a launcher in private beta testing, but they haven't released it to the public. So they have it, but we don't.

    DW 1.6 Pack?

    By "what FTB has", do you mean the current released FTB launcher or the unreleased 1.6 launcher? I assume you mean the former, by the "1.6 packs" statement as the latter clearly does support 1.6 packs. So, you're comparing the new ATLauncher to the old FTB launcher? What is the point in that?

    Is it from wisps? I think DW20 mentioned something that you can get from wisps, and I think that might be it. Don't Magic Beans have random aspects? Check them for Vitium.

    DW 1.6 Pack?

    The launcher and mod pack building & testing is still all being done by volunteers, isn't it? I don't see why a bit of income to offset hosting costs would speed anything up.

    Too many Diamonds in Unleashed

    Saying "Rare resource X should be as rare as it is in vanilla" is not the same as saying "Common resource X should be rare". <Personal attack removed.> No-one has said they expect Modders to do anything. They have only expressed their opinions and personal preferences. How are Modders and...

    Too many Diamonds in Unleashed

    There's no interpretation of "if you think there are too many diamonds then toss them in lava" other than as an insult. I don't see that as my problem. How do you find out how the majority feel, other than to have an open expression of opinions that doesn't descent into this kind of idiotic "if...
