    Applied Energistic Storage Room!

    Not sure if trolling or not... Even the biggest drives can only hold 64 different items (I think) so if you want to store everything you have on ME drives you will need more than 2. And the beauty of the network isn't the storage for me, it's the crafting system and the fact you can control...

    Factorisation Exosuits vs. Immbis' Powersuits

    I don't like Factorization as a whole and last time I saw the Exosuit in Etho's videos it was very buggy. The features it has also aren't bad, but I can easily do without them. I mean pushing blocks sounds like fun, but what's the point? Safely building a bridge? Who cares when you can have a...

    [POLL]BC Pipes VS RP Tubes VS AE

    I really like AE so far, it really allows me to keep things organized enough that I don't quit playing because everything is a huge mess. Usually when I have ~20 double chests with semi sorted stuff I just don't know what I have and don't have anymore, which is usually when I want to start a new...

    Where is the line between contraption and exploit?

    Where I draw the line, eh? hmmm. For me the line has to have some logic or sense for me. Centrifuging lava is lame, but logical enough that I don't consider it exploiting. A solar panel that provides power day and night however makes no sense to me (even if you use radioactive materials), so I...

    Gregtechs role in the modpacks.

    Well I don't mind editing a config once, but the thing that puts me off is that every update I have to do it again (and the same goes for adding/disabling mods). I mean the whole point of a config file is that you have a structure that's easy to read and write to from a computer perspective, why...

    Gregtechs role in the modpacks.

    On one hand I agree Ultimate can be done with easy mode GT and give an option for everyone regarding GT "difficulty". On the other hand I like all the mods in Ultimate (that Mindcrack doesn't have) and GT on hard mode, so if they would do that I would have to edit configs like you (Lambert) are...

    What FTB pack do you use and how do you configure it?

    I play Ultimate without: Advanced Solars, Bibliocraft, ComputerCraft, EE3, EnderStorage, Factorization, PowerConverters (though I'm considering adding it back), Secret rooms, Thaumcraft, ThaumicBees, Twilight Forest, all the Voxel stuff and XReliquary. And I added: Additional BC Pipes...

    Pipes with liquiducts

    That ^ I've also used it the other way around, using liquiducts to feed waterproof pipes, but I only did that because I didn't need huge volumes of liquid and I was out of resources to make more liquiducts xD

    Beginner tips for bees

    Personally I recommend starting with Jungle bees, they're annoying because they can poison you but the silky combs they produce are very handy. You can get silk wisps to create a beekeeping suit (which will protect you from any nasty effects bees might have, like the poison from jungle bees) and...

    Automated biomass production?

    Yeah I think Mulch will also still be an option so squeezing apples indeed might be doable. Keep in mind though only 40% of the apples are going to give you Mulch and I don't know how abundant Apples are from a regular farm, but I can totally imagine that they're not enough to keep up with the...

    Automated biomass production?

    Do Steve's cart work with Xycraft Soil? Last time I heard they didn't. Anyway, I don't know which pack you're using, but if you're on Ultimate you can also use Minefactory Reloaded harvesters and planters (I know for sure they work with Xycraft Soil). The harvester and planter can only...

    Powercraft: What do you think of it?

    That could be, I haven't played around with MFR's enchanting system (and I don't use CC at all). I just mentioned it to say it has an enchanting system though, I wasn't discussing which is better or worse (which is largely a matter of opinion and preference with mods anyway, for example look at...

    Powercraft: What do you think of it?

    I think MFR also has an automatic enchanting system these days, at least I remember seeing something like that in one of the recent spotlights on the MFR topic on the MC forums. I see it might replace some things from the current mod pack (like the logic gates from RP2 or conveyors from MFR)...

    If there had to be only one energy type...

    If I have to pick 1 I'd go with BC MJ, because that simply has the most fun ways of producing power. BT only has quite weak power sources and the strong ones I don't like for aesthetic reasons (yeah, I don't like windmills). Not to mention it's a lot more complicated to set up properly and...

    Future of Mods With 1.5

    Hmmm, I've read that AE's current quartz will get changed to something else and that vanilla quartz will take over a lot of the current AE quartz tasks. But to speak with your wise words, at best that is "somewhere between true and false" :D

    SENSE AND SUSTAINABILITY; GROWLE’S FTB GUIDE TO RENEWABLE ENERGY

    I'm pretty sure they drop coal sometimes. Also, good to know the sapling value for Biomass is going to change. I wonder how much though, mostly if it'll still be viable to mass produce Biomass or not and how hard/easy it will be to get trees that produce well. I'm still in the early stages of...

    Is OP too OP?

    Oh yeah I forgot, it is Solar, Water, Wind and Nether-Lava-in-Geothermal power you can convert with an electric engine :P

    Is OP too OP?

    Bypassing stuff of other mods makes a mod pack fun, if I wanted to play each mod individually I would. If an author doesn't like that he/she has 2 options, 1) don't allow his/her mod to be used in packs (Better than Wolves?) or 2) Improve the aspects people avoid to the point people like them...

    Is OP too OP?

    I'm smiling here :D And I agree on the whole OP thing. btw, isn't it "too OP" with 2 o's in the "too"? Or is my English knowledge failing me here? xD
