    Immibis (Micro block)

    Immibis micro blocks look extremely bad lighting wise, makes me want to vomit. I still prefer Redpower 2's microblocks even though they aren't compatible with other mods

    IC2 is slowly dying out ?

    IMO, we need more addons to IC2, bigger than just more Solar Panels. Greg Tech would be a decent example on how to do it.

    Help W/ Modding

    You don't have to act like a Pahimar's fanboy. Everyone has it's own rate of learning. Of course his tutorials have quality, but they really feel more like engineer school lectures than actual tutorials in my and some others opinion. There is 100 and 1 ways to learn how to code and how to mod...

    Help W/ Modding

    I do agree that he is too slow. Minecraft Forge wiki has very nice basics tutorial with how to add crafting recipes. It should be pretty simple to add one like yours, it would look like : GameRegistry.addRecipe(new ItemStack(coalBlock), "xxx", "xxx", "xxx", 'x', new ItemStack(Item.coal))...

    Do I smell trolling ? :p

    Is Java a gift to modders?

    It's not really a question of language. It's the program itself which limit what to access. Whatever language you use, you can access all the files if you modify the game itself without using a gateway between the two (Restrictive API)

    Is Java a gift to modders?

    those aren't real "mods". They're more like addons that can be added in through one mod which was created as a gateway between the game and the addons. A comparison would be bukkit plugins. Simple language make things easier, but more limited

    Unique Energy, Your Set-Ups and Plans.

    There is a huge array of possibility about producing energy. The most simple one is lava nether pump linked to Geothermal Generator / Magmatic Engines. Then some weak renewable ones : Peat Farm, Water/Wind Mill Some very interesting options for starting out : Hobbyist Steam Engine...

    Solid Boilers after 1.5.1. Wood source?

    I'm not antifun :p Now you can keep on doing it if you want, not forcing you to stop. But meh, might bug some people more seriously. On the subject of Boilers, there are more fun ways of using them. Multiple automated peat farm are cheap and a single one can fill a 2x2x2 LP boiler, 4 can...

    Redpower Managers and Factorization Barrels

    I'd advise you to not use the Manager as it's very inefficient. It's better to have a Tubestuff retrievulator + retriever

    Solid Boilers after 1.5.1. Wood source?

    The avatar doesn't bug me at all. It's just that trying to put the word pony whenever you can do make you look less serious, at least in my opinion.

    Is Java a gift to modders?

    It definitely did. Writing Mods in C++ would be much harder and only the best programmers would actually release Mod. (look at terraria and it's lack of good mods, cause it's written in C++)

    Solid Boilers after 1.5.1. Wood source?

    steve's cart way would still be the most efficient even though it's more expensive. Foretry Multifarms are meh as for MFR, same thing. PS : do you really need to replace "body" by "pony" everytime you say something ?

    How'd you like to see mods change for 1.6?

    I'm against Mojang making an API. Minecraft Forge > everything at this point. Unless Mojang decides to make it as an official API. Nearly nobody will actually rewrite their mods for the new API. It would be like the massive wall there was between Forge and Modloader back then.

    Logistic Pipes for 1.4.7 or 1.5 forwards?

    If you cannot change 2 poor numbers in a config file then what the hell ? I personally switched the 2 IDs to 8000 and 8001 and it worked fine

    Logistics pipes for Minecraft 1.5?

    I don't think there is anything in 1.5, but I do have Logistic Pipes in 1.4.7 and it is still developed by someone for sure since a lot of new features appeared since the 1.2.5 LogiPipes.

    I love the Arcane thingies

    Logistic Pipes for 1.4.7 or 1.5 forwards?

    Or just add it yourself to the pack. That's what I did
