    So rumors are GregT is now an IC2 dev

    Chill. It is my understanding that GT actually does auto-update nowadays, though I could be wrong. As such, just including it can potentially move on to cause further problems. Shneeky has a modpack to consider as well. That means he has to plan around potential instability and modder track...

    So rumors are GregT is now an IC2 dev

    The impending growth of buried potential with EDX just makes me squee. :D :D :D Very much a industrial tech approach but you have a LOT more direct interaction with machinery as opposed to walking up to a machine and doing all your work in a GUI. Basically, think placing a block of ore on a...

    So rumors are GregT is now an IC2 dev

    A few interesting opinions have been said here. Going with the original topic, I encourage anyone that feels negative about Greg being an IC2 dev to look at the build commits added and WHO is the one doing each one. Greg added an API for the mining laser to control shots, strength, handle...

    1.7 vanilla MC sneak peak.

    I'm at a bit of a loss as to why people keep going on about how Mojang "steals" from mods. I suppose it isn't terribly clear that, for example (in my understanding of facts), the BC hopper was the inspiration for the one in vanilla Minecraft with a bit of a spin on it. Pistons were really...

    So rumors are GregT is now an IC2 dev

    IC2 added lead ore and there is some ore washing mechanic. Methinks there's tripling in IC2 coming. :)

    How about freezeable shamrocks to throw and the pirate zombies? :D

    1.7 vanilla MC sneak peak.

    Well if you consider from a vanilla perspective the reason given for sunflowers, which will ALWAYS be facing east, then it is not a waste at all. Perhaps inconsequential to most of us in modded worlds, but the same can be said to a large degree for vanilla features overall. For vanilla though...

    1.7 vanilla MC sneak peak.

    o_O Partly because they are a major segment of the player base...? And seriously, we have 16 bit textures, simple graphics, silly mobs and giant arse building blocks. Isn't that how we STARTED? :p Aside from that, there is a tremendous difference in surface-level gameplay and deep...

    MFR Planter (Unleashed mod Pack)

    All hail the torch. :P

    RPG with FTB Unleashed

    Well as far as essence berries go, the bushes are fairly rare but you might check the Nature config to see if they can be disabled. Even if somebody did manage to find a large number of them, it's still a lot of effort. You might consider more that drinking one bucket of mob essence equals a...

    RPG with FTB Unleashed

    Ars Magica wouldn't be too far off, personally. As for MPS though, if it bothers you that much, cut it. If the server is well run, people will come in most cases. Whiny types that say they won't play without X mod are generally not the type of player you want to be around, while the ones that...

    Automating oreberries?

    Forge Multipart covers or maybe even hollow covers covering the darn bushes entirely. The little buggers SHOULD be smart enough not to just walk into them though. Also, the Harvester works on fruit berry bushes. I see no reason why it wouldn't work with ore berries too. Another thing to note...

    RPG with FTB Unleashed

    Dartcraft can do things like add damage buffs to armor and it gets used by any force weapons you wield, rather than it being on the tool itself. As for the upgrade cores, I don't know. I haven't seen the slots accessible in the current Unleashed but I can still upgrade my force armor as if it...

    Why isn't Factorization compared to TE or IC2?

    Personally, I'm a fan of FZ utilization. Once a system for automation is set up properly, time involvement instantly becomes moot, barring running low and shortcutting some supplies accordingly. Pain in the tail or not, mixing in AE, Routers, and now Logi Pipes again, the FZ system is good...

    Help Please: Millenaire in FTB Unleashed

    Also note that the game only crashes due to BLOCK ID conflicts, but not item ID conflicts. They are often more numerous, but for a proper experience that doesn't make you question your sanity you MUST ensure they are all fixed. As you are layering Millenaire on top of Unleashed, it will be...

    Question About Natura and BOP

    They seem to gen a bit randomly in the sky above the normal cloud layer, nice and fluffy fall savers. Nether clouds gen in the higher areas where there is open space, they come in sulfur and ash flavors. :P

    While I was mining....

    Ars Magica adds various towers to worldgen. I believe recently the tower revamp may have removed the one with endstone, but I have not explored the archmage tower so there may be some in that beast.

    A moral dilemma - was I right or wrong

    Just another echo of giving them a warning and clarifying the rules for this particular situation. Further incidents by said players would merit the call of stealing and/or griefing and subsequently deserve a ban.

    Gregtech deliberately crashing client if TC installed..

    It's a pity really as GT was so full of glorious potential and the updated fusion reactor system was a marvelous thing. Doing my own tinkering but I have to agree. It's gotten to be increasingly clear that GT is not worth the problems and needs to be set aside indefinitely. There will always...

    Gregtech deliberately crashing client if TC installed..

    Personally, I don't think they need to announce good reasoning and common sense, not to mention pragmatic, methods for handling the packs they make. I'm sure they'd punt greg out the window in a heartbeat if this were ongoing. :)
