    Question about the Scrapboxinator.

    I've found a few gregtech machines that only dismantle by wrenching them from the bottom side.

    How can I figure out what is sucking the power out of my Redstone Energy Cell?

    My point ws to argue that TE didn't increase costs to offset the rewards, not that TE is not 'balanced' overall. Maybe TE is ideal, and IC2 is annoying? As i said, i think ssp vs smp players will have different ideas on balance. Some like crafting, others don't. There is no real balance...

    How can I figure out what is sucking the power out of my Redstone Energy Cell?

    I'm also curious. I also ender if part of the disconnect between players is due to some playing ssp and others smp, and how much time they spend on the game. One guy was talking about the slow rate of making steel but for me, I use a chunk loader and run the furnace overnight, so it's not an...

    How can I figure out what is sucking the power out of my Redstone Energy Cell?

    Yes you're the picture perfect image of an open minded debater. 0_o You said that TE offered a good balance, giving benefits, but at a cost, and when adding more cost (like the lasers) giving us more benefits. First, there is no baseline. You could use EE2 as a baseline, guess what, every mod...

    How can I figure out what is sucking the power out of my Redstone Energy Cell?

    they use TE machines early game because they are another exmaple of reducing cost and increasing benefit, and making your items more appealing. TE has no consequences. BC and IC2 = exploding power cables, exploding machines. Complicated setups. Different voltages. compare an aqueous...

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    Just being able to try out unleashed works for me, still playing ultimate. Side question: why did unhinged get so few mods in it? Seems like a lot of 'staple' mods like ComputerCraft aren't in it. Any reason why?

    Im assuming you can't play a 1.4.7 pack and then a 1.5.2 and back again? If I try a 1.5.2 pack, it will update minecraft itself, and then I won't be able to play any 1.4.7, correct?

    To many connections on one block....

    Does anyone else like seeing the pipes? I always run machines on a floor, with the power cables under the floor, but all other pipes or AE busses and cables visible. I think it looks a lot more like a factory. hiding all of the wires and cables behind walls is too neat for me.

    Pumping biomass from a fermenter fast enough?

    Why would they get rid of liquiducts? Seems like one of the big items from that mod, everyone uses them.

    Ok I didn't remember needing redstone signal in my test world... That's probably it thanks a ton.

    Anyone have trouble with Nuclear Control in Ultimate? I cannot get any single display to work, in any way. NOthing comes up, even if i just try to add a text card and nothing else. I can change colors, but nothing will display on the front of the signs. If i go to an SSP world they work, log...

    Hmm, fair enough then, I guess I was wrong.

    Disappointed

    So you're saying the bio reactor nerf was a good thing, but it was for a different reason? If you say to ignore efficiency, why would you then cite 'making the efficiency worthless' as a reason to change something? Why would we care if some other guy makes a squid power 45 boilers?

    I just hadnt put them in extract mode yet. Ill have to look into gates, never used them, found AE about when first was going to use them, and never got back to them. This is what I did, i put a redstone lamp one block out, then lever in the inside spot, so the lever activates the...

    Disappointed

    App Apparently the bio reactor was nerfed by the guy who makes it so while everyone can bash you for not being as awesome as they are, the mod dev seemed to agree with you. I'm curious, what type of players do you play with? Are they like mine, who said gregtech digital chests are "lame"...

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    in 1.4.7, playing Ultimate, how can I get a redstone signal into a 1 block area... when every side is not something I can attach a lever or a redstone torch to? I actually have a single block of space right next to all of the liquiducts that need a redstone signal, but cant figure out what...

    Need a faster way to pull items from enderchests

    Was redpower used more before AE came out? I basically went from buildcraft sorting and moved right to AE so that is how I progress in each world. By the time i would look at things like a sorting machine, im just building an AE network. But it seems lots of people use(d) redpower quite a...

    Question about advanced solars?

    Ultimate solars are expensive with gregtech. Hv solars aren't bad with AE and multiple quarries. With no gregtech, the uu matter starts coming in fast, you use it to make more solars. After awhile it's not hard to be making an hv solar a day or more. This is where mfr farms show how obscene...
