    You are my type of player! My own changes: tinkers construct smeltery only outputs 1 ingot per ore, TE3 steel and diamond recipes disabled. Use Opencomputers instead of Computercraft. Install Hunger overhaul by Iguana_Man, and/or his other mods. Disable stone and paper tools in TiC...

    He has absolutely nothing at hsi base, not even one machine, just building blocks. I figured this was the answer, it just seemed odd that RAM would jump up 1 GB the day he logged in ,after a fewy days of him not playing.

    Does anyone know what would happen if someone on a server got on the first day and traveled 40K blocks in one direction before making a base? I realize this would cause the world folder to be larger, but will it affect CPU or RAM usage more than if they had jsut built normally within a few...

    yes, but i was playin hard level difficulty on 1/4.7 too. Sounds like Mojang is the cause, not really the mods, which makes sense. it's odd though, I thought one of the features that made minecraft so popular was that people could play it on older or basic PCs that didnt have video cards, now...

    Are newer packs harder on PCs than older ones? When i played FTB Ultimate in 1.4.7, I would get about 25 FPS on my laptop. No 3d video card, built in video RAM, etc. I would drop to below 10 in my base full of gregtech stuff, huge AE system, etc. Now, standing in a brand new world in 1.6...

    Is there any reason to use Extra Utilities spikes in a mob trap vs just quicksand? Im just making a simple darkroom as I cant afford MFR grinders yet. I have quicksand to kill the mobs, then conveyors to move the drops to a hopper. Would Spikes net me anything more than normal drops?

    Im having trouble with recipes in DW20 1.6, could someone tell me what barrels are supposed to be available in factorization now? I only see different flavors of spruce barrels, and then a single Oak Barrel. No other types. is this how it is supposed to be? The recipe for the Oak Barrel wont...

    What's new in modded minecraft today?

    This is why I second the idea of hoping this loader can be used as a personal anchor only. The idea of machines continuing to run because it doesn't make sense for them to stop when I leave makes think of the other view: why would the world continue running while I blink out of existence for...

    What's new in modded minecraft today?

    I haven't set it up yet but RC chunkloaders let you set time they run per unit of fuel and let's you set the ID of the item to be used as fuel. So you could make them run 12 hours on a block of coal coke if you wanted. This mfr one does seem handy though.

    Hunger overhaul by IguanaMan. He has three main mods, magic farm uses two of them. One directly changes the TiC tools and his main mod adds other challenges like encumbrance, reduced stack size and walking speed changes based in terrain. Just a tip since I ran into it: without Pam's harvest...

    Why don't people like IC2 anymore?

    yes I really didnt even want this conversation to go this way sorry. I just wanted to provide minetweaker as a solution for the people who dislike the new playstyle. if you like the old ic2, minetweaker should provide what you are looking for. Plus the nice new textures, some new content with...

    Why don't people like IC2 anymore?

    Ok ok sorry I mentioned politics. I should have just left that out to just mention minetweaker. It seemed this thread was mostly people complaining athat ic2 had become too much like gregtech, they didnt like the hammers, Jaded talked about how hard it was to craft a basic machine...

    Why don't people like IC2 anymore?

    I agree, really. Im attempting gregtech 1.6 with only hand mining. But i also think if other people enjoy the old ic2, why not let them change it? No one cared that EE3 completely ruined balance with other mods, but 2 planks per log is a huge issue? I think it can be turned off. or is this...

    Why don't people like IC2 anymore?

    I see it much simpler: gregtech is the only mod that offers big goals. Ultimate offered people a way to obtain those without the huge grind that you get with just ic2 and gregtech. Turtles, EE3, soul shards... its much easier to run an implosion compressor when you can anvil together some...

    Why don't people like IC2 anymore?

    This doesnt explain why there are no gregtech packs. Because they dont want to be used in the same pack, we get packs with TiC but not gregtech? It seems people want a pack like Ultimate. Unhinged is a purist (almost) gregtech type pack, and with mostly older mods. Why not make a newer pack...

    Ahh, ok I totally mis read how to make multifarms. Have always used MFR farms but in my new world i increased the power draw of them so Im making a multifarm. I thought the whole platter had to be made of farm blocks. Ok so definitely the square platter makes them cheaper. Thanks for the...

    Since you have to make more farm bricks is it really cheaper? I guess it means two square farms = 3 diamond shaped farms so it saves you making an extra middle section. Is this what you mean?

    2 questions: It seems Apatite ore is generating differently in 1.6 than in 1.4 and 1.5. You used to find huge veins of it, now I find 2 or 3 ores at a time. The config says this: <UNIFORM> Generation settings for OreApatitef; Defaults: ClusterSize = 6, NumClusters = 7, MinY = 50, MaxY = 85...
