    Besides MC, what have you been playing lately?

    A drawn-out campaign on Hearts of Iron 2. As I predicted, the USA betrayed my mighty Turkish horde at the first opportunity. I waited until the Germans got overextended in Russia in mid-1942 then overran their holding forces in the balkans, then poland. I reached the baltic then turned most...

    Civilization discussion

    I turned my nose up at every Civ game past 2 after a brief play on 3. I just flat out didn't like it. Then I upgraded to a 64-bit OS and found my beloved (and much modded) Civ2, being 16-bit, refused to run. So I bit the bullet and bought 4. Aside from the slightly irritating length of the...

    What is your favorite song/band?

    It varies from day to day. But presently: A long week at work and i'm more convinced than ever that I need to trap all of humanity in an IRL version one of my mass-villager execution machines. Tunes like the above encapsulate this sensation neatly.

    Just a few questions from an old Tekkit player

    This corpse was well preserved enough to pass as human to one who hadn't had their morning caffiene.

    Just a few questions from an old Tekkit player

    1. Tesseracts from thermal expansion can teleport items/fluids/power. As can he dimensional transciever from enderIO. I think the latest buildcraft also has teleport pipes again too but I could be wrong on that. Additionally as someone else mentioned, ender chests and on that vein, ender...

    Cobble Compression

    And now, so have you. And now so have I. Yay! We survived the zombie apocalypse!

    If you could add one thing to any mod...?

    I'd like a mod that brings back the old fire spread mechanics. I remember one time way back in beta, there was a forest in the way of my town and I wanted it gone but couldn't be arsed to cut the trees down by hand. So I set fire to one leaf block and went off to make a cup of tea.

    What cool little thing have you discovered today?

    Never had it. The only time i've managed to detonate my base using Reika's mods was my first attempt at using Gas Turbines. I *might* have accidentally my cow farm into the air intake a bit.

    Politics Discussion

    We are not all perfectly equal. Not in terms of capability or work ethic. A system that enforces "equality" essentially punishes the most innovative and industrious in order to artificially elevate the feckless and stupid. Personally, I like the idea that the quality of the life I can make...

    Politics Discussion

    There is an actual, for-real communist party candidate standing in my ward in the upcoming election. I had a bit of a chuckle. Looking around at the people in the area, they could do with some Stalinist purging.

    How to start with the mods?

    Re: meteors, I just get a TiCo hammer and go postal on the meteor from the top down. It usually doesn't take long to uncover the chest and then I end up with lots of lovely skystone to build with.

    best way to make mob essence?

    Berry bushes. Always. Even better, you can then use the essence to run an autospawner :P

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    There are really only so many different ways you can riff on the concept of material processing and transport. Mods that came earlier invented the furnace before enderIO? *SHOCKING* ...and they nicked the idea from vanilla anyway :P The main reason I use EIO is simply for the cable...

    Use an import bus and just put an example of the item you want into the slot on its' menu. That tells it to only import that item and leave everything else.

    If you could add one thing to any mod...?

    Automating blood altars is a must, otherwise I get the point where I just can't be arsed to make any more runes or ritual stones. If it's Colin tormenting the villagers and not me, it cleanses what remains of my conscience.

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    Make two capacity cards and insert them into the slots on the side of the export buses menu. One capacity card expands the amount of things you can specify to 5, two cards increases it to 9.

    Rules of Creeper explosions?

    Even better, reinforced obsidian can be pushed with pistons. Wither crush trap :) The only issue with this is that the wither's blast thingy has a tendency to deal damage through corners, so it occasionally blows pistons up.

    If you could add one thing to any mod...?

    I'd also like to be able to make clear glass carpenters wedges :)
