    MJ->EU most efficient?

    With power converters, you get 350 eu/t from one 36hp boiler. I don't know what the conversion rate for a RC turbine is, but with a GT turbine its 1 eu per 2 steam, meaning you can get 360 eu/t at 100% efficiency. However, carbon rotors operate at 125% efficiency, giving you 450 eu/t. Though to...

    MJ->EU most efficient?

    If you have GregTech installed, then Greg's turbines, with carbon turbine rotors, are the most efficient way of getting eu from steam there is. Only problem is that carbon turbine rotors don't last very long, and you have the expense of the turbine itself. But if efficiency is what you're after...

    Force Wrench on Spawners?

    I wonder why it only happens with the force wrench? At least a pig spawner is an infinite supply of the best food in the game (apart from golden carrots).

    1.6 IC2 Nuclear Stuff

    Good to see my favourite part about my favourite mod is being updated :) The MOX fuel seems interesting, though without heating cells i'm not sure how to make best use of it. Its just a shame that now you get less actual fuel from each uranium ore seeing as each pieve of uranium fuel requires 6...

    Good GT reactor designs.

    Ugh, I really don't like the new fusion reactors. Too complicated, even by Greg's standards. The GT fission reactors are fine, why can't it be the same for fusion? He should have kept the old fusion reactors.

    I love the Hats mod.

    I never even knew ghasts could wear hats :D

    The Ultimate Tinkers Construct Tools

    People don't use electric because its OP, they use it because everything else is a complete load of turd. Think about it; suppose you have 2 identical picks, except one has electric while the other one doesn't. Then you mine a bunch of blocks with each until the non-electric one is nearly...

    Missing Helmets After Fighting Twilight Forest Bosses

    This. I wonder if this is deliberate, to try and stop people from using OP gear? You'll have to cheat your stuff back in i'm afraid, unless you want to get it back legit.

    Pro tip: Don't force wrench Mystcraft desks.

    Since i've not used dartcraft yet, what does the force wrench do exactly? I know it lets you move blocks, but I guess there's more to it than that? I really don't know why people think moving spawners, or even using soul shards, is OP. You could get plenty of loot and XP from vanilla farms...

    What is the best fuel to feed a liquid firebox High-Pressure boiler ?

    I know. What I meant was mystcraft in 1.4.7 was FAR worse. Seriously, you'd be lucky to even have the right biome. Now its actually useable for stuff (e.g. mushroom void worlds for a mob-free space base thing).

    What is the best fuel to feed a liquid firebox High-Pressure boiler ?

    No. They exist in 1.5.2. So does the updated mystcraft stuff you probably saw in DW20's FG2 episode on mystcraft. Incidentally this is pretty much the first time mystcraft actually gives you a world that matches the pages (mostly).

    What is the best fuel to feed a liquid firebox High-Pressure boiler ?

    Boiler powers oil fabricator + refinery to make fuel, use fuel to power boiler. Gives a +39% return on a fully heated up 36hp boiler. Alternatively you could make a desert oil field with mystcraft and drain that for fuel.

    Decent Armor Mod?

    I guess TiC armours will be made of the same materials as the weapons and tools (with manyullyn the presumed best)? What i'm most interested in is what kind of upgrade i'll be able to give my TiC armour.

    Does Chocolate frames not work as they used to?

    Yet another pointless, unnecessary nerf. What will Binnie do when people are no longer using his mod because of how crap everything is now?

    Do i put a elite battery in every piece of armor on my powersuit?

    I know this applies to IC2 storage too, like lapotron crystals. Its a shame MFSUs don't retain their stored EU when you pick them up or you could use them as well :(

    Why Do People Always Build Boxes?

    Now I want to contradict my earlier post: I like to experiment with interesting shapes (when I'm in the mood for doing so), but they always either look crap or give no convenient space for machines (usually both). Boxes circumvent the second problem, while carrying the advantage of not requiring...

    Best Modular Powersuit Setup?

    I like MPS because (besides completely trouncing every other armour type there is) it does something other mods don't: you can customise the appreance of it. It means I can have a nice red, blue and white colour combo that I can't get anywhere else. By the way, what does the MPS thermal...

    Why Do People Always Build Boxes?

    Why do you care so much about what it looks like when you don't spend that much time outside it? These days I just spawn in a quarry to dig a big hole for me to live in. Building = (unnecessary) effort.

    Mystcraft mining age

    Necrobump ftw? Anyway, this thread was made before the 1.5 packs had been released. Since then its been fine (as in, it actually gives you the right biome, and no floating islands). Thanks anyway though.

    Figured I'd drop in...

    It'll be sad to see TE go, though hopefully it'll still be developed by someone else. Most of the stuff is replacable fortunately, though distributing MJ with conductive pipes will be annoying. Still, I suppose I can make do.
