People often equate high-tech with high-power, regardless of the veracity of it. And you're right that it's not currently half a good of an exploration mod as Twilight Forest or Tropicraft. I have GalactiCraft in my own pack. It's future there is very sketchy. It really doesn't add a lot and...

Because space station and rocket ships?

Can there be fuses or circuit breakers? I don't mind replacing a blown fuse half as much as I mind replacing an entire high-end machine. And the machines next to them ...

From what I recall, that is actually for UE conversion, not IC2.

It's a good exploration mod. Kinda like Twilight Forest and Tropicraft. Yes the cheese is a bit silly. But seriously, who doesn't have at least one item from a mod they like using that's just silly?

I think it's because of redstone, which has a slightly magical flair. All TE is kinda redstone based. That and it's appearance, block-wise, is more steampunk with the conduits and magitech with the machines. I, also, firmly place TE in steampunk/magitech tech level. Not high-tech. That...

Not talking of actual mod inclusion. Just of config file inclusion. There are a lot of mods that have FTB configs but aren't in any official pack.

I'm hoping that it'll be a fun system as I quite enjoy farming. I'm just hoping for less tediousness than unboosted bee and tree breeding. *crosses fingers* The current state of the e-net is very, very unfinished. Enough so that has me hesitant of IC2 right now. It'd be nice to at least...

I'm actually surprised it isn't included as well as there is a third-party FTB pack containing GalactiCraft. I, personally, hope they add in configs for it. There aren't that many blocks that could cause issues and there are already some UE mods with FTB configs.

That I can somewhat agree with. But you must realize that most here, when we speak of energy storage, are speaking of pure energy. MJ, RF, EU, etc. Anything prior to that is just fuel. Yes, it does contain potential energy. But that's it. You'll not get everyone else to change their...

There are ID conflicts, yes. Change the block ID configs and it'll fit just fine. I think. I've not seen any breaking issues yet and it's in my FTB-based pack.

Again, it's a matter of terminology. I'd call it potential energy storage, but until it's in a more pure energy form (EU, MJ, RF, etc) then it's only potential energy and not energy itself. That statement is also true, whether or not you'll admit it. But again, it's simply semantics.

No. We understand it just fine. We just refuse to call it energy storage. It's a disagreement of terminology, not of concepts.

An understandable choice and goal. As understandable as TE splitting off and creating RF with his own vision.

I love it all. I don't understand it all yet, but it'll come. It, TE, and Railcraft make the tech backbone of my modpack. I'm going for a steampunk/magitech aesthetic, and those three just mesh so well.

Despite it's appearance, the Rotational Dynamo is a RotaryCraft machine. I liked it's initial skin (so pretties!), but Reika decided to match TE's aesthetics for it instead for ease of understanding and unification of aesthetic. And yes, you should be able to do that. That's my end goal...

I don't mind the progression. It's a way to extend TCon past "I've hit the nether, I'm done" state. That's fine. It's the fact that said special metals are kinda useless outside of TCon that has me avoiding it. Lots of resources that'll just stack up and have practically no use for anything...

Steam is a Forge-registered fluid, so the same steam should be able to work between RotaryCraft, RailCraft, and Factorization. And anything else that uses steam, not that I can remember what those are.

I love the extra metals from Metallurgy for TCon. Unfortunately those metals seem to have little-to-no use elsewhere. >.< If they ever do become more useful, I'll need to add that mod just for the fun of even more tools.

It's two way. For RF it's a Rotational Dynamo for Torque -> RF and a Magnetostatic Engine for RF -> Torque. For MJ it's a Air Compressor for Torque -> MJ and a Pneumatic Engine for MJ -> Torque. I think the Friction Boiler and Steam Turbine are for steam interaction, one each per direction.
