    Show off your computer/laptop setup

    I already posted my specs up above, so here's a few pictures of it. First picture is there because the case is so great that it deserves its own picture. :D EDIT: I think I might flip my power supply if possible. Right now the fan faces down, straight into the carpet. Depends on...

    iOS 7: What do you think?

    I don't really care for the "FLAT EVERYTHING!" user interface trend. It's kind of disappointing that Apple has jumped on the bandwagon too. I'm still on iOS 6 and will remain there until iOS 7 is jailbroken. I don't think there are any new features in iOS 7 that I haven't already had through...

    Should My Friend choose Windows 8 or Windows 7

    In most tests, there's actually been little to no difference in performance between 7 and 8 on gaming PCs. There's only a real difference in performance when you have fairly limited hardware. Windows 8 runtimes use maybe 200-300 MB less RAM than Windows 7 runtimes (or they should, at any...

    Tinkers Construct smeltery questions.

    Magic Farm (or, more specifically, the MineFantasy mod included with Magic Farm) significantly changes early-game progression. Some crafting recipes are disabled, and early-game vanilla tools are weakened. The normal progression of Wood > Stone > Iron no longer works without a few intermediate...

    Tinkers Construct smeltery questions.

    This is one of many reasons why TiCo isn't included in Magic Farm by default (unless that's changed since the last time I played it). MineFantasy and TiCo both change early-game mining and crafting mechanics in ways that really don't work well together.

    Should My Friend choose Windows 8 or Windows 7

    Honestly, unless his brother will also be using the computer, it's up to your friend. If he prefers 7, he should install 7, no matter what his brother thinks. That's it.

    Should My Friend choose Windows 8 or Windows 7

    Some people like Windows 8, some people don't. The 8.1 update coming next month will fix a lot of 8's shortcomings, so it really comes down to a matter of opinion.

    Where is Forge Multipart going?

    Try removing the hyphens before each Block and Tile Entity in the config. I just deleted my config and let it regenerate, and it looked exactly like yours and suddenly I could no longer cover conduits. Went into the config, deleted the dashes, and it started working again. I think the dash is...

    Where is Forge Multipart going?

    Ugh, I'm sick of all the arguments. I just decided to test it myself. Well there you go. Apparently microblocks on conduits works just fine with Immibis Microblocks 55.0.7 and Thermal Expansion 2.4.6.0. Covers don't block the conduits or liquiducts, but they do occupy the same block space...

    Where is Forge Multipart going?

    Hmm...interesting. I just tried it myself and it worked. It must be some other mod that's incompatible with it, since it doesn't work if you try to add it to Unleashed and the exception it throws seems to have something to do with Forestry... By the way, Immibis covers DO seem to work on TE...

    Where is Forge Multipart going?

    Depends on your definition of "good" I suppose. Because it was coded as its own mod, rather than as an API that would have then been supported by those various mods, Immibis Microblocks relies on kind of a hackish implementation of microblocks that could be broken every time another mod...

    Applied Energistics keep x number of item in machine?

    Also, if you ever ran out of carrots, for example, it would fill the empty slots with seeds or potatoes if you have any excess.

    Tinkers Construct smeltery questions.

    You can probably get away with just using two large smelteries, and splitting up any of the metals that can form alloys. You can also pipe liquid metal out of a smeltery and store it in a tank, if you need to get it out but don't have the patience to turn it all into ingots.

    Minecraft 1.7

    As a fellow Java dev: while Java certainly does have some advantages (namely, that it's inherently cross-platform and "just works" as long as the user has a JRE installed), it's still pretty terrible when it comes to performance and memory usage. It's possible to mitigate these downsides by...

    Minecraft 1.7

    I think I'm just going to keep playing 1.5.2 until Mojang slows down their update schedule (or at least until they stop breaking all of the mods with every major version update...)

    Minecraft 1.7

    This is going to be like how 1.3 broke everything all over again, isn't it? 1.10 would be next. Software versioning doesn't work like normal decimal numbers do.

    Player detector (looking for mod)

    The Proximity Sensor Block from OpenCCSensors can output a redstone signal when it detects players within a 16-block radius. Best of all, although it's not technically configurable (besides a simple option to detect all entities, just players, or just the player who placed it) it outputs a...

    Molten Emerald

    Really? I can't think of more than two or three mods at most that have skipped 1.5, and many of the ones that updated for 1.5 will apparently be skipping 1.6.

    Tinkerer's construct balance ideas

    IMHO, the exact words that IMHO stands for aren't important as long as you know what IMHO actually means. IMHO, this argument is pointless.
