    How do you feel about AE2?

    You don't need pure crystals at all starting out. I made a system of 5 press machines, a charger and 4 crystal growth accelerators before I made a single pure crystal.

    Very rocky, but I think the storm has passed. Sorta.

    I am aware of this. My point is that the vast majority of these rare innovative ideas are coming from magic mods right now. The last big one I could name for tech mods was your Fusion Reactor. Nope!

    A Shitstorm

    A problem that is probably nearly impossible to replicate or find, and in 1.6. And honestly, I have seen Blood Magic armor, Galacticraft pipes, Translocators, AE Interfaces and even zombies all lag out servers in niche cases. That Cyclic Assembler pic didn't phase me.

    I hope so. We really do need one guy to step out and be the punching bag, as much as that'll suck for them.

    You were arguing that is wasn't reasonable to make one due to community backlash. Whether that is true or not remains to be seen.

    Honestly, I don't completely agree. I think that more power systems are defiantely great, but that's not really where magic mods are actually innovating. They're innovating in functionality, or what can actually be done with them. In truth most magic power systems are very simple compared to...

    At any rate, MJ is hardly complex. It's just RF with no power storage and leaky machines.

    How do you feel about AE2?

    Yep. Sadly, it WILL accept a seed and get jammed even if the network can't actually accept it.

    So what you're saying is that you don't think Covert has what it takes to handle the flame he'll initially get. I do. Idiots are a thing, and it's not like Covert is some noob dev. He has plenty of experience dealing with morons. What this proved is that those players had no self-control to...

    How do you feel about AE2?

    Actually, there is supposedly a way in AE2 to do this: Annihilation Planes combined with subnetworks. The problem? Annihilation Planes are bugged(?) so that they'll eat up anything regardless of whether the network can store it or not, clogging up the Plane (which has a 1-block inventory...

    Fair enough. Bold it is. At any rate, nobody has tried to make a complex RF mod, so we are going off of hypothetical situations here. It's not like no other modder has been able to stand up to internet mobs before. Reika and FC are perfect examples of those who have, actually.

    So after reading this thread, I am very confused what exactly most of the posters in this thread are even going on about. You don't like the power-transfer system of TE4. Yay. So where exactly was it stated that..... Railcraft and Forestry are losing leaky power You are now forced to use...

    What's new in modded minecraft today?

    Does this mean that I can convert my LP into Mana into RF into shaft power? I CAN FINALLY POWER AN INDUSTRIAL-TIER MINING MACHINE WITH BLOOD!

    This is probably the best solution. Other tech mods, such as RotaryCraft and PneumaticCraft, definitely should NOT go to RF. The fall of MJ and EU was due to isolation and a lack of meaningful differences and/or benefits between themselves and the RF ecosystem. RotaryCraft and PneumaticCraft...

    How do you feel about AE2?

    The only real negatives about AE2 I have is the bastardization of the MAC and the presses, which are possible the single dumbest change I have actually seen in some time. Aside from that, enough new functionality was added to prevent this from becoming a repeat of IC2E and the graphical style...

    KingLemming speaks!

    The only mod I've seen pull of 4x and 5x in a balanced way, IMO, is Mekanism. The 5x setup for that can easily fill an entire room. And yes, I think KL's referring to RoC with the 13x ore processing joke. Sad fact is that RoC actually CAN multiply certain things by 13x, which is also why you...

    AE2 for Newbies (A Reference Guide for the Rest Of Us!)

    I suppose this is all true. Channels though make it just such as hassle to do anything on a semi-large scale without just spamming thick cable everywhere (I'm gonna be making wool farms, ain't I :/). And I still don't get the nerfs to autocrafting, to which there is no true replacement. The...

    AE2 for Newbies (A Reference Guide for the Rest Of Us!)

    While this is understandable, it has also left us with few to no mods in that category. We have LP, which certainly has the functionality we need, but LP is extremely laggy in massive quantities, slow and for me horrifically, unbearably ugly (plz save us Unity). I would take these nerfs a lot...
