    Forestry & RP 101

    The Factorization Packager does what you're wanting for the Sandstone. The Hummus takes a Craftpacket machine or few.

    Pulverizer is better than Macerator In GregTec

    It lists <1%, so that's not helpful.

    What does YOUR Power Room look like?

    You'll need to use Liquiducts to pull from a tank fast enough to to get enough Steam to put the better engines to use, and that's assuming a Tank doesn't throttle the output. I haven't yet tried.

    Methane from Charcoal?

    Ah, okay. That makes sense now.

    Methane from Charcoal?

    ...did you even read the statement you quoted? How can he Macerate 192 Coal to make the Macerator he can't make yet due to needing Diamonds?

    Mod makers nowdays...

    Ah... you're right, it isn't. It's a lot more plentiful than Dragon Eggs, but it is not infinite. Perhaps some Forge mod makers should get together and design some better bosses for such recipe purposes.

    RedPower news, and thaumcraft

    Ars Magica, if/when it's included, has one ore, I believe, and has a few buildings and dungeons it sprinkles about. Tropicraft, if/when it's included, has pineapples and palm trees, and maybe some bamboo. Those are the only two I'm aware of that might be added and have any world gen stuff. If...

    Mod makers nowdays...

    I don't know what the Portal Gun dev's reasoning was other than wanting something expensive, but I think Azanor chose it because, as I said, it's a boss drop.

    Favorite biome

    I'm a bit surprised there's NO nodes. The grass, flowers, mushrooms, etc. should be sufficient to make it at least spawn small nodes... unless Twilight Forest somehow blocks that generation, but if it blocks Thaumcraft, how and why would it not block Redpower 2's shenanigans as well?

    Mod makers nowdays...

    It's because currently the Nether Star is the only non-finite boss reward. If a mod maker wants you to have to beat a boss to be able to make something, they either have to add a boss of their own (oh, hi Twilight Forest) or they have to choose between the Dragon Egg and the Nether Star. There's...

    So, enchanting books...

    You'd have to spend more exp enchanting a Diamond Pick than you would a Drill because of the exp price (on top of materials) for repairs and from the price of renaming the Pick to keep repair exp costs affordable. There's really no way to look at it in which the Drill would cost more experience.

    So, enchanting books...

    Yeah, there's definitely a problem here. The enchanted Diamond Drill doesn't appear to care whether it has power or not. The Advanced Diamond Drill when enchanted in the same way is just as fast unpowered but rips through multiple blocks at once when powered. The Diamond Jackhammers seem to...

    I'm not sure if you're referring to an old trick by "click method" or something I don't know about. Nothing I've tried seems to show any difference in their speeds with both having Efficiency IV. I'm not seeing any difference between them at Efficiency V either. Try it yourself. Go into...

    RedPower news, and thaumcraft

    The Direwolf and Mindcrack packs are maintained by the FTB team, and they do include Redpower 2. The Beta pack was a beta, a test, and is not the FTB pack. The "FTB Pack" will be designed around the FTB map and will probably release at about the same time. It won't be the ideal pack for...

    So, enchanting books...

    That's what I've been saying, though. There is no per-trip durability. An enchanted Diamond Drill completely drained of power is matching an enchanted Diamond Pick block for block, and it needs no maintenance whatsoever. Feel free to wear your Bronze/diamond/Nano/Jetpack/Quantum chest plate...

    So, enchanting books...

    Yes. 1.) I personally have not net yet made an issue out of it. My point has been that the attacks on thezeronumber's statement are at the very best inaccurate. 2.) Powered Furnaces, Electric Furnaces, Furnace Heaters, etc. all have more costs in set up than a vanilla furnace, especially as a...

    Do not put words into my mouth. That's exactly why I addressed you in the first place. You claimed he was saying something he was not, so I was correcting that. I was not making a complaint about free energy here; that is irrelevant to my statements. Okay, I was the one that said it...

    Efficient Redpower 2 Thermopile setup

    Use the Bluelectric Engine and feed it into your MJ network.

    Suggest Mods for FTB Here

    RP2 Canvas Bags already provide most of the functionality there, aren't reliant on cows (which can be ruined by unlucky spawns), and only lose out in storage space. The Enderstorage mod already has ender bags that actually work with the modified Ender Chests from said mod. That Ender Backpack...

    He wasn't saying it's "overpowered when compared to the vanilla way of doing things." He was saying that it has no drawbacks, even when out of power, and that the no drawbacks part is what bothers him about it.
