    Buildcraft Changes of Note

    I'm not sure you can power your quarry with redstone engines any more. I think that has been changed/fixed.

    Gregtech recipes = ridiculous?

    I have said on many occasions that I have played both with it enabled in default configuration and my chosen configuration (which disabled some of the silly and pointless changes). Logical and sensible is quite important when you have people coming to the forum who are confused about why...

    Gregtech recipes = ridiculous?

    I've already given up debating this point since despite the logical and sensible reasons for turning these settings off they probably won't be. Heck even DW20 said he isn't sure yet if he will use GT in his next SP LP. That really should say something if nothing else does.

    Gregtech recipes = ridiculous?

    As stated earlier in the thread. You can go to the nether. Create a simple cobblestone box. Mine up some netherrack and turn it into nether brick and kill a few magma cubes. None of that is difficult and can be achieved largely without armour. I'm not the only one that dislikes needless...

    Gregtech recipes = ridiculous?

    That's not true in the slightest. I can get diamonds in half a hour and with an anvil you can not repair an item indefinitely. This is a more costly way of making an infinite pick. Forcing progression does not add difficulty. If anything it irritates people that they play style has to be...

    Gregtech recipes = ridiculous?

    That isn't actually true because refined iron is used consistently. The items that were changed to steel are intentionally specific and limited, adding complexity for no reason.

    THIS MODPACK IS A BETA.

    For what it is worth you have made less mistakes so far than Mojang has. ;)

    Is it worth waiting for redpower/thaumcraft?

    Thaumcraft does. XyCraft doesn't. Soaryn said he didn't want to add it as there are possibilities it could cause complications in existing worlds.

    THIS MODPACK IS A BETA.

    These people are working hard, for free and for your benefit. Please try to show some understanding and empathy regarding why things are the way they are and how they are working very hard to fix them.

    Suggest Mods for FTB Here

    Actually I believe it conflicts with Advanced Solars (in terms of functionality) as for GregTech it can be disabled manually. I highly doubt it will be removed at this point :)

    They mean that it provides functionality that conflicts with the functionality provided by a different mod.

    Good old Baj. As blunt as ever :D

    Gregtech good or bad?

    That is exactly my point. It isn't difficult, it isn't costly and it is hard for new people to follow. All of those together suggest its a bad thing it is enabled by default. I'm really not against things being difficult. I enjoy a challenge. I do not however enjoy tedium and pointless extra...

    Gregtech good or bad?

    I can't argue with that. But at the same time you put three diamond and two sticks into a crafting table and they magically form a pickaxe. Its the same principal. I understand the logic behind it but the logic is faulty when you compare it with many other items in the game and this is what my...

    Gregtech good or bad?

    I think the point people have made is some of the changes are not challenging and in fact some of them are confusing for new users. The need for a compressor to compress 9 diamonds into one diamond block for example does not seem to have a real usefulness. The use of steel, while I would...

    Gregtech good or bad?

    As I have said on numerous occasions there are some things in the configs that I believe should be changed. As a whole I see nothing wrong with the GregTech addon however.

    YAY! Pretty blocks! :D

    Gregtech recipes = ridiculous?

    Well not really. You can use a compressor to get nether brick from netherrack and killing a magma cube with even a basic bow isn't that tough. The hardest part about that is waiting since magma cubes aren't always common. Alternatively you can hunt down a fortress and kill some blaze, again, not...

    Gregtech recipes = ridiculous?

    Yes. It is indeed tedious. It requires you to go to the nether to obtain nether brick and magma cream. This requirement is simple, very simple and adds a pointless extra step to a process hat really doesn't need it. Frankly I have completely disabled the requirement because changing tasks...
