    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    I could offer several much simpler ways to do it, but I'm unfamiliar with the method you're trying to use. Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

    Not sure I'd trust you with one, mind. Of course, if we're granting impossible wishes, I'll take a battlemech and a young Halle Berry. Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

    Why don't people like IC2 anymore?

    I kinda skimmed over that, I'm afraid my mind said "Tired Call of BattleDuty joke, may safely be ignored." It tends to happen with me. Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

    Glad you added this, I was about to snark on the theme that KL had already written TE ;) Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

    Why don't people like IC2 anymore?

    I think the better way to do it is to set it only to blow if the machine is going to blow, although I appreciate this takes some clever coding. The wires will already destroy themselves if more power goes through them than they're rated for, which defeats the purpose of the fuse if that's how...

    Why don't people like IC2 anymore?

    I'd prefer to see them as either: an item you attach to a cable (or in place of a cable, but that raises the question of transfer rates etc) or as something placed inside a Fuse Box block that you run your cables through; possibly both, as early-game and late-game options respectively. I see...

    Meanwhile, out on the street...

    So a few minutes ago, I was sitting on my front porch, as I do, and two of the local kids, probably about ten years old, were out playing. One of them was waving some variety of wooden tool around. The other one says to him, "So let's say we both have obsidian armour!" I felt good about it.

    Why don't people like IC2 anymore?

    Honestly, I was rather a fan of the mention of fuses. Make grades of fuse based on voltage tiers, screw up your power, the fuse blows instead of the machine, assuming you've installed one. So if you blow an HV fuse, maybe you lose a few diamonds and have to replace it. It's a good balance...

    1.6.4 Packs don't work

    Dude. http://lmgtfy.com/?q=lwjgl+minecraft First and second results, plus the video. It's also the third result on JUST "lwjgl". I'm not trying to be an ass about this, but... can you please do a basic search before asking questions?

    It's a Java... library, I believe. A Java thing, anyway. http://lmgtfy.com/?q=lwjgl Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

    What exactly is offensive about being told to play in creative mode?

    I'd have to pretty strongly disagree with you there, although I suppose that is likely to feed your opinion. I've been involved in an awful lot of online communities, having been around to witness the birth of the internet, and this is one of my favourites; I think that you may be confusing...

    Why don't people like IC2 anymore?

    Oh, I'll give you that, and if you follow my post history in this thread you'll notice I'm not much of a fan of the mod these days myself ;) I do, however, feel that "punishment for goofing" is perfectly acceptable design and far more prevalent than people seem to think. A lot of people act...

    Why don't people like IC2 anymore?

    Truth be told, I don't actually mind the "punishment" angle. It's like a puzzle; you have to work it out before you start slapping pieces in willy-nilly. I also think people forget how punishing Buildcraft could be. I still have plenty of large holes in some of my early bases, before I...

    After everything that's been said in this thread, I honestly cannot believe you just said that. No. No, no, no, no, no. Bad. Go lie down. Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

    What exactly is offensive about being told to play in creative mode?

    I find the actual question a bit obtuse, to be perfectly honest. What's offensive about it? The same thing that's offensive about anything else; that someone was offended by it. Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

    What exactly is offensive about being told to play in creative mode?

    That one gets me too. Squeaking chalk should be a shootable offense. As to the rest of your post, I'd add that a ton of actual learning is involved. Redstone alone has pushed me to a first-year understanding of electronics, and I still have trouble setting up a lot of circuitry. Sent from my...
