Here we go again (again!). However I guess I can improve the argument. Refinement through repetition. Minecraft has no hard internal time limits. While time is used in the day/night cycle, there are no events linked to time which have any significant gameplay aspect. Additionally, it is...

Except Forestry doesn't change any recipes. It adds a separate recipe to make bronze. So yeah. Also, I'm not upset up Gregtech. Sure the mod is (objectively) terribly designed and made by an (subjectively) obnoxious fool with no concept of good game design, but I hardly feel sad about it. I'm...

I'm not keyed into the specifics, but until the ore dictionary* was added to Forge, the Bronze recipe didn't matter, since cross mod metal usage was limited. And Bronze is still barely used in IC2, while Forestry wants in for nearly every machine. Also, by your own 'logic' Greg shouldn't of...

Except Forestry, you know, actually uses Bronze in a large capacity unlike IC2 where you use it once to make a wrench. And the only exploit is caused by Gregtech. Yet another case of Greg going 'oh man let's nerf other people's stuff instead of actually making good design'. Greg thinks his way...

Actually, given that resource in Minecraft are generally found in clusters or 'veins', it can be argued that recipes that use less varied resources are cheaper in some manner than recipes using a higher variety. In a system with tiered resource groupings, with similar spawn rates within tiers...

You keep using the word 'free'. Except a large number of Gregtech process require a crap ton of time and EU to perform. Time, which is not internally limited. So Greg is now charging me external resources. Which is bad game design. It doesn't matter how you try to fudge it, at no point in...

Except Greg is under the strenuous delusion that time = difficult. In a game with no time pressure.

Gregtech fails to understand why Minecraft is easy, then fails to make it hard. Why? Time is infinite internally, all other resource limits are a function of time spend. Gregtech mostly adds more time costs. This means costs become external to game environment. This makes Gregtech bad...

That makes the whole 'don't touch my code' crap worse! Mojang are being cool, and then modders are turning around and acting like their mod code is specialer than Minecraft's code. Modders are dependent on Mojang's kindness*, yet most are perfectly happy not to extend that to others. Part me...

Except everything except the lawyer thing is the truth. Minecraft mods can only be created by decompiling and deobfuscating copyrighted code and then illegally redistributing said changes. While Forge mods technically avoid this, Forge itself is illegal, since contains Mojang's code. Oh noes...

What about ender chests/tanks? They pretty much work the same, but require less infrastructure. And the chests have pouches. Also Thermal Expansion adds tesseracts, but it's a best mod.

Because the cool stuff is always in the next version! New is always better! Bug fiexs! Also I guess some people get annoyed when they realize that it's the same mods keeping FTB back every time.

Oh please. Minecraft, modded or otherwise, is about as challenging as a walk in the park. Power conversion doesn't even have a path to a 'cool' solution. You build a Electrical Engine or ten for EU -> MJ, or a Energy bridge for two way conversion. Two choices*. Yeah. And while Power Converters...

Thaumcraft Research is great until: a) You have absolutely no idea what you need to finish a thing. b) You want a certain thing. Have fun randomly getting three other things that are available with the same aspect, which will show up if you try for a different thing. c) You need some rare...

So if I had to remove a mod because reasons, I'd go for Gregtech. Oh man so original. I guess the important thing is why I'd do such a thing. Rambling time! My main 'problem' so to speak with Gregtech is that it tries to make Minecraft 'hard' without understanding why Minecraft is easy. It's...

Stupid proverbs are like sub atomic particles. They all have an antimatter counterpart with negative conservation numbers, and are annihilated on contact with said antimatter leaving nothing but energy. The main point being that using a stupid proverb wins no arguments. Especially not internet...

I think the problem with most Minecraft mods is an attempt to balance against time, when time is not an internally restricted resource in Minecraft. And if you balance a game against external restrictions, you are bad at designing games. Looking at Gregtech, I don't see much that adds...

Unfortunately, this appears to be the only way people measure difficulty in Minecraft mods. Timey timed time. Yet there's never a need for time management. No timers, incoming threats, vauge omens of doom. Time ticks on, and all that is lost is my Time/Fun ratio as I derp around waiting for...

OR Gate. Using a XOR gate means having both levels on = no signal.

One day people will invent better text communication. Before then, clarifications will happen. Clarification: 'Widely used?' was offering an alternative to 'popular'. Should of added an anyhow to the start of the second paragraph.
