    Is Ore processing and sorting disappearing?

    So many mods provide alternative steel recepies, many even pre-date Railcraft. Why is Railcraft mod that decides the standard? And (edit: as KL ninja'd me) you're ignoring all the machine costs.

    Is Ore processing and sorting disappearing?

    We all have our ideas of game balance. I am not against a point-buy principle for ender pearls, but it should not be for 4 iron. 4 gold is a better place to start. Lots and lots of people still use BC pipes, but mostly because of Logistics Pipes or gate conditionals. Base BC pipes still have a...

    Is Ore processing and sorting disappearing?

    Because it's not as great as people claim it is. So OP, buildcraft has been doing almost that for a year! Very few power systems ever had problems with exploding. There were buildcraft bugs that made pipe explosions more likely and they got fixed. It was a bug. This is...

    Is Ore processing and sorting disappearing?

    I'm not going to respond to this whole opinion, but just a few select parts. I submit: You are devaluing the benefits of automation. By your very admissions, someone with a hammer and a quarry can do twice as much work in the same time! I do not believe what you're saying is actually true. :)...

    Force Belt hotkeys don't seem to work

    Isn't that 1.5.2? It's ancient by any reasonable standard. Current version is Beta 0.2.14.

    How would you kill 9001 Withers?

    I'd individually cut each one down while laughing at them. I'd probably cue up some serious metal, 'cuz it'd take an hour.

    Force Belt hotkeys don't seem to work

    Not with the version you're using. "Don't use such an old version of Dartcraft," is the only advice I can give you.

    Force Belt hotkeys don't seem to work

    You need to: Make sure the belt is in your hotbar. Make sure nothing else is bound to those keys. On some older builds, you need to have the belt in slot 0 (the leftmost).

    FTB Monster meteors

    For Ars meteors, they only aim for grass blocks and in general don't destroy things. People saying they "broke" other tile entities are either mistaken of dissimulating.

    Thaum 4... a dichotomy.

    Okay well allow me to join in. I am not having fun with TC4. So much so that I have a great piece of research sitting on my table and I just don't care enough to finish it. I feel quite abused by TC4 research. Let's just address the concerns I have and that I've seen raised: The research...

    And personal sanity. The Void Nietzsche described is actually the current rev of Thaumcraft research.

    Is Ore processing and sorting disappearing?

    This should be a banable offense. You can't even reliably use the sonic helmet to find them!

    Is Ore processing and sorting disappearing?

    They are slower and have worse fuel efficiency. They are absolutely worse. And this ignores a bunch of other tools. The quarry is just one with easily understood cost factors (it is not very expensive at all). Quarries are better in the mid game. Later turtles are best used as a way to deploy...

    Is Ore processing and sorting disappearing?

    You can. But we're warning you. The path you are walking is the path of burnout and frustration. Personally I enjoy the early game a lot. But the post-resource-scarcity part of the game is the place I am working on being more awesome. What we're saying is that all you can do is delay the...

    Untrue, though it's improved.

    Is Ore processing and sorting disappearing?

    I just don't understand this notion of difficulty purely as a function as time invested for the minimum viable build. Don't get me wrong, balance still matters. But no matter how I tweak power balance or Jaded stomps recipes, there will always be winners and losers for any given task. There...
