    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    I'm not too familiar with automating Pam's crops. If MFR works for it, you can make very compact and highly efficient farms by spamming fertilizers. Since the production is so ridiculous it will be easy to make it look nice while not compromising production. If it's loaded with spot loaders why...

    It depends if you want maximum efficiency or maximum aesthetics.

    Raise the ceiling or lower the ground and make it look more natural as dothrom suggested. Or, you could make it look more clean and manmade; like an underground bunker. If you have Chisel and Carpenter's in your modpack, use them to make a prettier house. Chisel offers a wide range of pretty...

    Getting over a cold? Any tricks?

    The paper you are citing is comparing the results of different trials, including an alternative medicine journal. That is why it says that it "may reduce duration" yet also "not effective". The former is from the alternative medicine journal, while the latter is from an independent paper...

    Cooking logs in the coke oven gives you charcoal and creosote oil; the latter can be used interchangeably with Forestry's seed oil.

    Getting over a cold? Any tricks?

    Vitamin C to treat colds is an old wives tale. You may feel better because it is a placebo effect, but beyond the nutritional value of the food it doesn't do anything to actually affect the virus or your immune system. Vitamin C is important in many metabolic processes, but it is not the wonder...

    Getting over a cold? Any tricks?

    It will usually last for 7-10 days. Antibiotics don't work because the cold is a virus, not a bacteria. Just buy medicine that treats the symptoms — such as decongestants — and you can get through it easily. Stay hydrated, sleep well, Vitamin C hype is a myth.

    Opinions on Combat

    People can be totally safe without mob griefing. That is not as difficult as possible.

    Opinions on Combat

    I meant you as a general term for your group. :p What are the responsibilities for each member of your group? You gentlemen should probably give them the ability to break blocks too. But, that system appears to have limitations. SpecialAI can give them this ability, but it doesn't work on...

    Opinions on Combat

    Judging by the video, they only drop ingots if a player kills them? If you don't make better mobs/AI, people will just make a hallway to funnel mobs into and kill them without challenge or fun. I could even make a macro on my mouse that clicks repeatedly to AFK farm because there is no real danger.

    Opinions on Combat

    You'd have to change the AI and preferably introduce mobs with new varying behaviours. The vanilla combat AI just doesn't cut it. Even with the many new mobs that Lycanites adds, it is still pretty dull because the AI can still be kited and cheesed.

    Opinions on Combat

    If killing mobs is the only way to get ores, isn't it always a constant grind of killing them for resources?

    Opinions on Combat

    I don't feel that adding random ingots to a mob's drop table improves combat. But, PvE would be far better with improved AI, as others have said. No matter how you change the combat, it will always be easy and disinteresting with the current AI because the mobs are easily exploitable.

    Why can't RF be used to make something more complex?

    Isn't RF just a number to represent power quantity?

    A Shitstorm

    I presume this isn't aimed at me, but I have no problem with RF as long as the mod using it has good configs. This is why balance is important. The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. If you powercreep and raid the Nether/dungeons, kill the Enderdragon, etc then it negatively...

    IguanaTweaks does not change the tools as much as I'd like. Though, the main problem I have with Tinker's is the highly inexpensive nature of its ore doubling; only sand, gravel and clay with very high fuel efficiency. Economies are not a universal standard, but most servers have some form of...

    A Shitstorm

    I meant that you could use configs to suit every player in a SSP situtation. That is why I said it's different for multiplayer after that. Devs shouldn't be forced to add config options, but it would make it more accessible to users. For example, I like the molten metal and customizable tools of...
