    Focused modpacks

    Sure, in what pack, Ultimate? With it's beefed up ore generation? Or in a modpack where you have only 1 of any type of ore, chosen by someone who wants every resource to count? I run Custom Ore Generation, cut down ores down to mainly TE3 ores, and lower the chances of each vein/motherload. I...

    Focused modpacks

    And my ore processing is best described as "Why do we call it Ore Processing these days? It was Ore Doubling when we only cared to double it, now seeing as we can get up to 6 times the ingots from 1 ore using only one mod, at a 100% success rate(assuming we're patient enough to get the 6x ore...

    Focused modpacks

    And I hate TiCo in almost every way! But mostly the tools. Which is almost every way, honestly. Long rant, and I've said it all before.

    Why do you like hardmode/grindy minecraft?

    Okay, first off, u wot m8? Thaumcraft has been around for ages longer then Ars Magica has been, and Ars Magica has that name because it's Latin; it means Magical Arts. Second, the spell system in Ars Magica is fairly bog standard as far as magic in games goes, so there is little to no...

    Focused modpacks

    Too true. Number 1? We all know that feel, bro. Number 2? I actually started on my rail line on a map within 5 MC days... last week. Five maps ago, mind you. The main point for my thoughts on a rail line is as follows: You have to have a reason to have a rail line before you can really...

    Opinions on Microsoft buying Mojang

    Have you even heard of .bsa files? Or, gods forbid, Mod Organizer? Installing mods for Skyrim is way easier then it ever was for previous Bethesda titles as a result of Mod Organizer. True, one could use BAIN for that, if you had a head for it, and true, one could also in theory use NMM for...

    Opinions on Microsoft buying Mojang

    Yes, but I remember reading that Minecraft wasn't their top priority anymore, so they can only afford a small team for it. And seeing how shitty that team is at times, somehow I doubt Mojang really is able to pay the best of them to work on a older but still active project and still hire on...

    Opinions on Microsoft buying Mojang

    Okay, so, on the level with y'all, skimmed the first page and skipped the rest, but here's my take on it; mildly retarded on both ends. Mojang may find themselves losing all the cross platform stuff they're working on is being shunted off to the /dev/null section of the team, and microsoft may...

    Mod Feedback [By Request] RotaryCraft Suggestions

    Ah. Well then... ElC is great for reactor level power storage, but by that point, you can afford a aural battery or two. But lower tiers are cheaper, if not as powerful. In short, it's a great sort of system if you are worried about storing power and distributing it better, but easy enough...

    It has world gen... none of which isn't covered by other mods in my game. Copper, Tin, Nickle, Platinum, Aluminum, etc etc... I don't need the ELC ores, but it can still be nice to have them.

    [1.0.0] Modular Armour - Now configurable!

    Looking for suggestions? 'Kay. AM2 stuffs: Add a part that holds mana potions and when enabled(and filled enough) gives you the effect of the potion; a sorta of mana potion IV system. Vintium Dust is a great magical power source, but running your suit off of mana is the real dream machine...

    Why do you like hardmode/grindy minecraft?

    I saw a GURPS 4rd Edition variant for mages; enchantment only. I forget the name of the main mage ability, but enchantment only reduces the cost by 50% IIRC. Same deal, no power beyond enchanting items. They are the batman of the mage schools. No powers, just a lot of wonderful toys.

    Oh don't get me wrong, I ain't saying real life engineers are sane either. Most important qualification? A willingness to solve problems. Second most important qualification? Having enough problems to solve to keep you from making new ones to solve. The pressure cooker test you just told us...

    Why do you like hardmode/grindy minecraft?

    I may just have found my nemesis, folks. My main "beef" with TC isn't the grindy research system that is always easy enough to ignore and just turn on easy mode research, nor the fact that easy mode research makes it less easy then the hard mode research if you have the time to spend on the...

    AM2 Essence Refiner?

    Honestly, I have no idea how long it'll take with just one diamond capped light nexus. Why? Because "Just one diamond capped light nexus" is about as effective as, say, 8 standard solar panels in IC2. Hate to say it, but you may want to either scale that one nexus way up, or change it to...

    AM2 Essence Refiner?

    What edition of AM2? I mean, pre-1.2 update, or post AM2 1.2 update? Helps to give details, even if I am apparently the only fella here who grasps AM2 and the power system in it. Actually, just a tick, that'd be pre-1.2 update seeing your light nexus there. And you called it one. So, best...

    Okay, first and third points are totally valid, because "Steve", our MC character, clearly does not live in a world conducive to a healthy state of mind; assuming he showed up there exactly when the map was made and has never been anywhere like it. Assuming the Endermen aren't constantly...

    Why do you like hardmode/grindy minecraft?

    For me, I only dislike "Hard-Mode" mods that are a grind for the sake of a grind. For example, Hunger Overhaul. Makes one have to pay attention to hunger and health. Why? Because that's what it does, punish you for not eating super awesome foods and getting hurt(aka until you have the best...

    [CHALLENGE] (v4.3-ish 6/7/18) Refugee to Regent Kingdom Building Challenge

    That one spot is a quest in of itself, honestly. The perfect spot for that thing you wanted to build, be it a DF-Style section of your base, or a nice mountaintop overlook. I'll take that like bombing as a sign of approval for pics unless you say otherwise, Vaal. Not likely gonna do it on...
