I just like the integrated timer block, so I don't have to build my own clocks. I agree with you about the ores and stuff, but I also don't really care very much, because I mostly don't use them. I don't need rubies for pickaxes because I make mine out of Vyroxeres from Metallurgy 3, very...

Building isn't an issue for me, because I pretty much always make underground bunkers; but yes, it would be an issue for some.

Unless you go into Forestry, broadly speaking, this game consists of four things. a} Mining. b} Power generation. c} Ore processing. d} Sorting. There's a certain amount of combat, but not much; and if you get to the top of the IC2/MPS tech tree, that will be so easy for you that it's...

I appreciate the empathy, but I think one of my other problems, is that I actually try and build things as small as possible, not as large. My background is Linux scripting, before playing Minecraft; and what I learned there was to design something as small and simply as possible, if I want to...

I can't stand SMP, personally. I don't like playing it, and I don't like watching it. If I'm honest, though, it's mostly just because I'm really slow and bad at the game; and if anyone else is playing with me, then they just make me unhappy about how much faster and more productive they are.

I made a relevant response to something in the thread. Does that really cause so much of a problem?

To repeat what I said earlier, I'm trying to have a legitimate conversation, here. If you're experiencing an urge to be immature, I'd suggest the offtopic subforum. It came up in the post. Also, RP2 was referred to in said post, as being imbalanced. Hence, my refutation of the perceived need...

"Balance," needs to be crucified, disembowelled, and quartered; not necessarily in that order. I would also strongly advocate water boarding it on a daily basis for several months first. The obsession with balance is beginning to cripple the game; especially given the degree of collaboration...

Hence the reason behind my recent reversion to 1.2.5. With EE2 and ToggleBlocks, I've been having a blast, whereas 1.4.7 and 1.5 have both had me bored silly, for the most part. The mod scene really is going to pot, recently. As you say, there is a continual nerf contest between developers...

The problem, is the fact that RP2 needs to be continually updated, even if it is only a port of existing functionality, due to Mojang's hyperactive upgrade cycle. Minecraft has traditionally suffered from excessively rapid version instability, but I could tolerate that if the company added...

I will be as ungrateful as I feel like being, thank you very much. White knights are collectively invited, to self-perform a non-anaesthetised colonoscopy, with an oxidised, steel-toothed horticultural implement of their choice. With that said, I actually will genuinely look forward to any...

If by this you mean we don't have a single giant machine that can do the lot, no, we don't, to my knowledge at least; although I consider that a good thing. Parallelism with per-node miniaturisation is how Nature does things; monolithic approaches have a tendency to fall apart. I never try and...

I can't speak for anyone else here, but when I want to go custom, what I first do, is download the FTB pack that I want to use as a base. Then I download a clean install of Minecraft, with the exception that I copy the file from http://assets.minecraft.net/1_4_7/minecraft.jar into the...

PowerCraft includes both. WRCBE being Redpower dependent is not its' biggest problem; it's more the fact that ChickenBones is balance obsessed, and bases pretty much all of his recipes on Ender pearls. I really should install PC again; I miss having mods that aren't written by the SMP epeen...

I know that one element of said details is that you have to post videos at least once a day.

Yep. I enjoyed Power Converters as well. I mostly stopped using it once I figured out that Mekanism's own energy cubes work as adapters; but they were still good. <3

The conduits and the cells both allow you to change polarity, between either receiving or sending. With cells that is controlled by redstone signal, which is adjusted in the cell interface. From memory it is high for sending, low for receiving. With the conduits, you have to notice the...

(This ended up being sufficiently long that I had to split it into a second post. As you can perhaps tell, I'm fairly passionate about this subject) http://www.sirlin.net/ptw-book/intermediates-guide.html Balance obsession happens primarily because of competition and epeen. A lot of...

Agreed. Automating them is simplicity itself as well; at least on the output end. I will admit that I greatly enjoy using Mekanism's energy cubes as an adapter between my hydros and TE machines as well, and then abusing the UE->BC power ratio. That is the sort of thing that I should not speak...
