    Well... it was bound to happen, Greg is nerfing base IC2

    So is this meant to fix the whole 'scaffolds give more EU than their components' thing? Because it seems like a better course of action would to make scaffolds a) not burn or b) have a lower burn value. I've heard than Minecraft isn't the best code ever, but I never thought in would be that hard...

    Is Ore processing and sorting disappearing?

    You just took two entirely different points, combined them to make a third and then replied to something I didn't actually say. If two sentences are in different paragraphs, they might not be related. I'm okay with servers removing mods or items. I'm not okay with throwing out perfectly good...

    Is Ore processing and sorting disappearing?

    ITT: Self inflicted issues. If something is the OP, don't use it. Show some self constraint. Or, if you want happy balanced SMP times, get server plugins to fix the problem. There were enough 'no EE2' servers in the Tekkit days to prove that it's possible. Or make your own mod pack. Start from...

    (Update) GregTech is not forcibly turning items into scrap, that was a bug with an old version.

    Except not crashing the game and instead telling people that the mods cannot be expected to work together is the reasonable option, not crashing the game and acting like a pretentious git. Pointing out why there is incompatibility should probably be less preachy, however

    OpenComputers: Not a ComputerCraft clone

    Except it's not a 'complete replication with modules thrown on'. Open Computers and ComputerCraft have clearly separate design goals. In CC, computers are fairly low-end items, needed a only a few items to craft. OC computers require a large range of resources to craft, and suffers from a slight...

    OpenComputers: Not a ComputerCraft clone

    This mod is like another mod and therefore it's <invalid logical step>. Someone was going to make another computer mod eventually. Hell, ComputerCraft preemptively 'ripped off' Redpower computers. Any idiot can have an idea. Execution is the important part, and this executed sufficiently...

    Universal Electricity vs IC2 pros & cons

    Okay you want reason to hate terrible mechanics? Well here are some reasons: The punishment in IC2 for misplacing or miswiring a machine is in excess of the 'crime'. Having to either gamble with machines or spend way too much energy for a simple misclick is bad enough. Destroying not only the...

    Thermal Expansion 3.0!!! No More Beta! Thanks KL!

    Oh please 'struggle of survival' is the first few days getting house and food. Then you hid in a well-lit mine until you get iron armor/sword and become fairly mob proof. Vanilla Minecraft isn't hard. It's already trivial. Tedium is bad. It's a terrible excuse for 'difficulty' championed by...

    Thermal Expansion 3.0!!! No More Beta! Thanks KL!

    This pretty much sums up the level of discourse I think you bring to the table. It's an assertion with absolutely no backing that assumes everyone thinks in the same 'optimize all the things' way as you do. Any how florbs are cool. Thermal Expansion 3 is cool. King Lemming is a pretty cool...

    Thermal Expansion 3.0!!! No More Beta! Thanks KL!

    Most complaints about 'OP'ness seem to be based off of vague gut feelings instead of any kind of serious analysis. Case in point: People going 'TE is the OP!!' then using a feature from another mod to justify it. Which invalidates the entire argument. The short of it is that your can never...

    Thermal Expansion 3.0!!! No More Beta! Thanks KL!

    Dear people: Stop using 'power creep' to refer to something that happens to be better than the worst option. That's like calling every Pokemon from Gen 4 and up power creep since they beat Luvdisc. Additionally, please remember to think about RP2's Filter when talking about item transport...

    Poll: Should mods download other mods?

    The situation presented in the OP would be entirely unacceptable. In fact, I'm fairly sure downloading addition software without a user's consent is illegal, so it shouldn't be done anyway. Additionally, combinations of Minecraft mods can be an anti-paragon of stability when you know what's been...

    Thermal Expansion 3.0!!! No More Beta! Thanks KL!

    If moving full stacks of items is overpowered, I don't want to be balanced. Not everything needs a terrible version just to create an arbitrary progression curve. Then again, if moving full stacks of items is overpowered, your argument has probably gone wrong somewhere.

    Poll: Do you like GregTech?

    I don't even know, since apparently there were big revamps and more configs. And since the new IC2 has gone completely insane, I won't be able to make an informed opinion. Curse those mods what change!

    Thaumcraft 4 is Released!

    Three pages in and we're getting dangerously close to 'well play creative then' type nonsense, if we haven't already arrived. Seriously, video games here. Let's use a terrible, terrible analogy, since those are fun. Say I like reading the books. But in order to read the books, I need to solve...

    Thermal Expansion Status

    No what BC needs is machines that don't leak power. Seriously Thermal Expansion was what made me consider MJ as an actual alternative to EU. It was a bright light of not having to micromanage an engine for every MJ using machine. Of course then I found out that most MJ machines follow the...

    Redstone in Motion:[Why] will it never be in a FTB pack?

    so i could write out a incoherent paragraph about actions and words, but i'm ill and don't feel like it. instead i'll compress my feeling on the subject into a pithy phrase that i feel sums up the problem that i see here. warning: may contain criticism of FTB people. "Feed the Beast: Where...

    Doing some research in the newest IC2_Exp build[138]

    But people (a dubiously defined set you may not even be part of) wanted more IC2 content. Since hammers and plates are technically new content you can't complain ever! Wait a second that doesn't even make sense. The new steps for making things barely count as content, and there's actual new...

    Doing some research in the newest IC2_Exp build[138]

    I wouldn't mine some deadly lasers. Or fancy signal transmission lasers. Anyhow, I think IC2 needs more midgame everything. You kind of go from grinding up rocks and squashing metal together to weird purple stuff that makes things and 100% damage resistance. Also electrical carts because why not?

    1.2.5 was special, wasn't it?

    You people and your ''EE2 is ruination!". So what if I could fly, be invincible, kill everything and tear apart the world for the cost of a few diamond blocks? Also useful Lava/Water amulets were available. Now I sit in dirt and make wood into obsidian because apparently that is balanced but...
