    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    Correct. Senghir can't keep up with all the items in all the mods, but made a darn fine effort to hit the major ones. :)

    What mods could be used to replace redpower 2 (not talking about its place in FTB)

    Well, this is self-evidently true. However, it isn't the same as saying that RP2 is irreplaceable. I've been quite happy playing modded Minecraft prior to 1.4.x when we had RP2, and I'm quite happy playing it in 1.5.x when we don't have it again. There's a good half-dozen mods that I would...

    Dumb Modular Powersuit Tricks

    Actually, no. I haven't asked for nerfs. I merely expressed my opinion. I am entirely capable of not using it as I see fit. Far be it to presume others should not use it or to ask that you force them to not use it. :P

    Looking forward to 1.6

    Ok, quick look, based on how I mod Minecraft. Horses - Meh. Carpets - Double Meh. Coal blocks - Kinda Meh, good they're putting it in but no charcoal equivalent? Leads - Meh. Don't even need a nether star for a portal gun to move mobs around. MFR and Dartcraft both have pokeball mechanics for...

    Dumb Modular Powersuit Tricks

    Mmm, kinda. I hate to do it but... comparing to other mods to see what they do for a non-torch, perma-placed, tech looking block we see they often involve glowstone per block. I agree that it's not hard to keep a place lit once you get to that stage, but it still requires material and manual...

    Dumb Modular Powersuit Tricks

    Oh, definitely. I like the idea. Don't like the hitbox (interferes with my mining). Just, the cost is so exceptionally low. A few hundred energy, maybe 100Mj, for a free, remote placable light, tech looking light source? That's even cheaper than the non-flying, manually placing, old-school...

    Dumb Modular Powersuit Tricks

    Too much win and awesome IMHO. The torch placer, which I believe is from the addon pack, seems far more reasonable.

    Dumb Modular Powersuit Tricks

    There's the companion bug. I haven't built the omnitool module at all yet any time I r.click on an ME Chest with my gauntlet it rotates the chest instead of opening it. :)

    Would this Mod Pack interest you?

    DW20's mod spotlight have the numbers on the force drive so that it is suppose to be comparable to a combustion when run with water as the throttle. Not to OP, IMHO, but I'm with Shneeky on the pack as a whole, the backback mechanics are great. The rest, not so much. Also, Immibis has...

    Applied Energistics sorting question

    Yeah, if they don't, my apologies. Like I said, been months since IC2's been on my machine. I'm basing the idea on how I kept my last decent world stocked with sand and glass. I had a level emitter, export bus and import bus attached to a TE Pulverizer and Powered furnace. Any time my glass...

    Applied Energistics sorting question

    Mind you I am coming from this having not messed with IC2 for a few months, sooo, some interpretation might be required. If I recall correctly the recyclers respond to redstone, yes? If so you can place a Level Emitter on one and configure it to turn on when the levels of cruft get to high...

    Storage. Why worry about storing it when you can void it and recreate later as needed? I wish we had an MJ version of IC2's miner. About the only thing I truly miss from that mod. A block that mines all the good stuff, leaves all the cruft, and fills in the hole after its done? Yes, please!

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    Which is why the OP specifically mentioned, "(And before anyone asks: igneous extruders.)" On the hypothetical sand/gravel front, igneous extuders -> pulverizer. :)

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    Hum, that suggests another method, block placers with sand or gravel. :) 1 bucket = 1 fertilizer.

    Immibis (Micro block)

    Right, right, I knew that, just forgot as it has been months since I last used IC2. Thanks for setting me straight. :)

    Immibis (Micro block)

    Well, for most things to which we want it to attach there is no need. Liquiducts already provide a method of running and placing in parallel. REDconduits are not subject to loops so it often does not matter if they connect. I can actually think of one case but I personally have never run into...

    Would this Mod Pack interest you?

    Supposedly there's a config option on Immibis' to disable working on TE. Might want to enable that until they sort out (if possible) the issues with crashing the world do to recent TE changes. Honestly, I'm quickly becoming disillusioned with EBXL. I loved it at first thanks to having some...

    Would this Mod Pack interest you?

    BTW, Schneeky, how about Immibis' Microblocks? Lots of cosmetic utility which is cross-mod compatible. EG, I have hollow coverplates surrounding both a BC pipe and a Liquiduct connected to my MFR harvester. Of course, KL's latest update to TE kinda borked Immibis' rendering for Liquiducts...

    Would this Mod Pack interest you?

    450 Lapis to get the same as Fortune 3. Hence why I said "...any reasonable modification..." and not just "any modification". Heck, now that I think about it, the XP you would get from obtaining that much Lapis pretty much means you could enchant a Fortune pick the old way. :)

    Would this Mod Pack interest you?

    Amazing that you see hostile intent where there is none. As I said before, this isn't me being unfriendly. Why would I have to? So it is your contention that learning a language designed and left in the 70s is easier than constructing an item out of 9 other items using the standard...
