    Dealing with Flooded Quarries

    QuarryPlus works like charm! Even in Nether cleans all lava.

    MPS recipes with thermal expansion

    I was playing with ThermalExpansion.recipes according to https://github.com/MachineMuse/MachineMusePowersuits/commit/b4d1de1bf3ee8ca9d8526268a858a7cd86f00d22 Finally I simply modified a bit config to get something usable, for instance just a { "ingredients" : [ [ {...

    MPS recipes with thermal expansion

    I counted that I need 64 ender pearls and 32 shiny dusts to enable jet pack. This is kind of expensive. Those tesseracts really elevate the price for MPS rather high. Plus issues with recepies such as wires and Hologram Emmiters that are not craftable. Currently this is real journey to make...

    Why don't people like IC2 anymore?

    I love idea. Firstly you build tweezers. Then drill machine to create a hole in diamond which you can place only with tweezers, hammer and cutters that have no damage on them. Then you need to build a special fuse assembly machine that uses iridium for fuse element. Then you need to build a...

    1.6 Alternative to RC Boilers for 100MJ+ power ?

    Apparently the best alternative for 100MJ+ power is Rotary Craft Gas Turbine 1000MJ/t. You run it for short period of time charge all what you have and switch it off.

    Whats the drawback for being a bat with morph?!

    I guess soon people will use it only for construction of base. One of the problem of morph it excludes huge chunks of game mechanics. Flying was always some kind of high end reward in technical-magical mods. To be able to fly in MPS with TE3 is insanely expensive, TC is extremely boring and so...

    1.8 Snapshot - Underground Biomes in Vanilla

    I am not sure if any of those real issues are address by new Minecraft. How about holes in the world? I hardly remember even one village that spawned at flat place without ravines, gravels, water, caves and so on, simply saying UGLY every time. I do not even speak about trading system...

    Archimedes Arcane Tunnel Bore

    You may use Rotary Craft bedrock pickaxe:) It seems the config for Archimede was slightly modified:) You need more baluns.

    Why do people like Thermal Expansion so much?

    Most likely you will move toward Rotary craft (not an easier mod, but rewarding in some aspects) in conjunction with TE and AE.

    Why do people like Thermal Expansion so much?

    Great math. To be complete fair you need to add either bucket +3 iron or Aqueous Accumulator.

    Why don't people like IC2 anymore?

    ender pearl is simple one:) Shiny metal is hard one to get, especially if you need to build tesseracts for other purpose as well. MPS is going to compete for resources rather havily. I got enough only when Quarry+ and Rotary Craft were evaluable.

    Why don't people like IC2 anymore?

    Now tesseracts are expensive and end game staff, so availability of shield is shifted further in gameplay. The same with flying. Basically fully configured MPS is end game device.

    What are your thoughts on renewable energy?

    This is absolutely correct! People who play Minecraft must play on "Hardcore" only and with GT, period.

    Why do people like Thermal Expansion so much?

    Let me guess Quarry+ and Rotary Craft extractor will induce such post-traumatic stress and depression for you:)

    Why do people like Thermal Expansion so much?

    I really love TE. This was the second mod I learned after IC2, and I still in love. 1. Intuitive. It is very simple and flexible (both hardware wise and interface wise) to start, you build two machines and one dynamo is you have the production line! YES this is the moment your prosperity is...

    What Would Make MFR Balanced?

    You and some people have this filling fine. The second thing what I build after TE is AE, because I do not like chests and barrels. Do you really believe if I do not want to use vanilla chests you need to balance AE to be on par?

    What Would Make MFR Balanced?

    In my perception this is exactly the point why I want to build tree farm in first place! I do not want to punch wood with axe, I want to focus on other projects. Last time I had Steve's cart, MFR and Rotary Craft farms. I am perfectly fine with all how it is now.

    What Would Make MFR Balanced?

    Honestly I do not understand all those discussions about balance. If you take tedious mod A and then balance mod B to be on par with mod A. As a result you force people use mod C which becomes better than both A and B. I love MFR as it is now because it perfectly suits my play style. If it will...

    Thaum 4... a dichotomy.

    From one side TC4 is technically superior mod featuring very cool visual effects and neat gadgets. When I see what people do with this mod I always want to repeat the same. From other side TC4 lacks deterministic approach toward research, apparently, this is main complain of people. I would...

    Why don't people like IC2 anymore?

    Who has this problem GT, IC2? Look around what people do in the mean time, they combine magic with technique packs. They grow diamonds and start flying after killing the first bat, with single click you get resources you need. This is strange thinking that people's problem that they do not want...
