Yes, except UE is just as bad; it simply starts mid-tier and ignores low voltage, ironically, rather than ignoring mid. Mekanism includes a 60 volt transformer, but I have absolutely no idea why, because the very first machine you can build (the Coal Generator) defaults to 120v, and every other...

Yep. Mekanism does have some innovations. Not necessarily vast amounts, even. But some. From six hydros with no other form of primer, I now read a consistent peak of 47 kW. I used to get 50 from two. A single hydro is technically perpetual, but only if you're not trying to do anything else...

Getting lambasted hasn't really affected me at all, I will admit. I wrote in the OP that I was not expecting it to be well-received in all quarters. As for the two appearances from King Lemming, while I found said responses articulate, well-balanced, and civil, I hope you are not implying that...

I like the way you explain things. It's also true that the trans table did create some sort of phobia in me. It was weird, actually.

This is true, but if you don't put a valve in the bottom when you start out, you don't need to worry that much. I made this mistake with my first tank as well, but then I put a second valve in the bottom row, and was still able to get my lava out; so it was all good. I tend to make the...

I actually will concede this point. I consider open source a good thing from the point of view of longevity; but beyond a certain degree, you can end up with an effect of too many cooks spoiling the broth. In terms of open source examples, I've consistently seen better code quality from the BSD...

Yes, but I think the expense is actually the point. EE2 was perceived (and I emphasise the word perceived here, because contrary to said perception, designing a truly decent condenser array actually did take some genuine skill in my opinion. I even went the cobblegen exploit route at one...

If I was hypothetically going to worship Eloraam for anything, it would be intelligence and technical skill. To me, the content of the mod itself is indicative of genuine brilliance. It would not, however, necessarily be for generosity or social grace. She released the mod under a closed source...

Ah. That would have been awesome; but oh well. Imbalanced, yes; but most awesome things are, in my experience. ;)

Actually, GregTech isn't a mod that I'm going to be creating any drama about whatsoever. I made the decision roughly five minutes after first hearing about that mod, that I was extremely unlikely to ever go near it. Problem solved.

From memory, I worked out that one thermopile = 1/40th of the power of a wind turbine. After that, for lulz I built four towers of 48 thermopiles each, in creative. I've become somewhat used to absurdly nerfed power systems in this game at this point; but even that was rather silly. For me...

I've just realised that I need to install EE. ;)

This is consistent with my own testing, yes. The main cause of lag seems to be that the rendering engine was presumably designed for redstone to either be continually on or off, but not to pulse, which is of course what a timer does. I'm using a somewhat custom pack at the moment with several...

Question:- Is it possible to create networks of wireless access points?

The one change I'd like to see to IC2 is Thermal Expansion-type configurability of block inputs and outputs.

For me, it would depend on how specialised the machine is, and the other circumstances. Then again, I like moving stuff around. I think a big part of the conflict I've tended to have (mentally, because this is really the first time I've tried to communicate with other Minecraft players) is...

This was one of the most awesome forum posts I've seen anywhere in quite some time, Greyed. RP2 has been completely rhetorically annihilated. I could see Eloraam needing trauma counselling after reading that, if she does. She's just been given The Speech. ;)

Exactly my point. I just wish I knew how to implement some of these things myself. Maybe I should learn Java. Another big part of the problem, come to think of it, is the fact that mods are so large now. In the beginning we had a scenario where lots of small, individual mods existed...

Well, this sounds reasonable as well. If someone had actually said this somewhere where I might have seen it, that might have defused me as well. It's just the complete lack of communication that is most frustrating. If people say something like, "hey, this is still going to take ages, so...

I guess mainly to be heard, and so that we can at least look at this and talk about it. If I'm wrong, then I'm wrong, but I wanted to give it some exposure. Like I said, I've been holding this in for a while, but I've also seen some evidence that I'm not the only person who feels this way...
