    Placeable liquids mod?

    You can already melt metals in the thermionic fabricator, but you can't get them out or place them yet. I hope to some day be able to drink molten diamond through the new straw from MFR. :p

    repair enchantment on books

    Yes. It might be even more time consuming trying to get anything specific on a book though.

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    It is a bit tricky, to be sure. An export bus set to export endstone only by crafting it will only put 1 into the target inventory every time it crafts them, so the extra end stone piles up in the network. The export single/craft option will send all the endstone you have before trying to craft...

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    Don't see an answer for these, maybe you answered them for yourself by now but... Is there a reason you don't/can't use the ME Storage Monitors, or did you just not know about them? My method is use the Tome of Alkahest to duplicate Endstone using redstone. 1 redstone = 16 endstone = 1...

    Eloraam has not disappeared. (random half related topics)

    He already knew she was alive when he posted that. THAT on the other hand is a reason to believe a version without RP2 may not be necessary anymore.

    Does IC2 Agriculture mix with other mods?

    My test is 8 lilypads of fertility. 1 wheat on cropsticks in range of lilypads, 1 without cropsticks and in range, 1 on cropsticks and out of range. The 1 without cropsticks grew rapidly, while the 2 on cropsticks grew much slower and evenly.

    Does IC2 Agriculture mix with other mods?

    XySoil: I couldn't get crops to go on them. Are you putting them under dirt and planting crops on that? In that case it shouldn't have any effect. Lilypad: The effect is stackable. Go nuts with them on a test world (or if you have a ton of them legit lol) and if you're still not sure they're...

    Power Level Display (Over 9000!)

    Yeah, I looked into it a bit. So, if I understand correctly, all you have to do is click 4000 boxes and then nobody else can use a private frequency? :p

    Confessions: I never ... even though I'm told I should.

    Me neither. I prefer stairs for aesthetics, jetpacking for practicality. Don't forget the 3x3 tilling (are there other ways to do that now?). Other than that, you're right, the bonemeal effect is a waste. Me neither, but my main experience with FTB is on a server, and I didn't consider...

    Power Level Display (Over 9000!)

    True, that's a new feature compared to the last time I really used wireless redstone, and I'm not sure how it works.

    Power Level Display (Over 9000!)

    That's why, when I need to do something like that, I have it activate when the wireless signal is OFF. Other people can only turn the signal on a frequency on, right? So the self destruct, lower forcefield, etc. can only be activated from the controls where you originally placed the transmitter.

    Immibis' microblocks VS redpower 2

    Yeah it's pointless to compare mods, because we can just install every mod ever at the same time without any problems, right?

    Scrap Vs Scrap Box for Matter Fabricator?

    Wow it's true, even if your reactor isn't running you can save 83m EU just by throwing a deuterium and tritium in there first (lithium+wolframium startup is 90m - 7m that you lose if only running the tritium+deuterium reaction only once). I bet Greg will nerf it though. :p Seems pointless to...

    Emerald Pipes are glitched as hell!

    An easier way would be to use the universal charger from power converters if you have it. It charges anything in the chest next to it.

    Scrap Vs Scrap Box for Matter Fabricator?

    The iridium fusion reactor recipe is faster when you take into account that iridium requires 7 UU matter, not 1. It's also much cheaper, if you do it enough to render the startup cost less painful. However, lithium and wolframium are much harder to come by than water. It may not be worth...

    Is there an objectively best power source?

    I don't know where you're getting those numbers; NEI states 80 seconds and 1600 EU for 1 Electronic Circuit, 80 seconds and 3200 EU for 1 advanced, and I don't see anything in the changelog for the 1.5.1 versions to suggest it got better. Also, the recipes it replaces gave 2 circuits, so even if...

    Is there an objectively best power source?

    Something like the MFR bioreactor, where each different liquid fuel you put in adds efficiency? Would be cool, but probably not underpowered enough for Greg. Oh man, that thing. I actually like GregTech (enough to have made 3 fusion reactors in the server I used to play), aside from most of...

    Is there an objectively best power source?

    This. It makes no sense that he chose to upgrade something that is already low effort, high reward when pretty much every other method of EU generation he introduces is high effort, low reward. I wanted to like Nitro-Coalfuel at one point, but when Biofuel has 75% more heat, is much easier to...

    Need help finding quartz

    Yeah, shortly after you can make a Quarry you should be able to make that upgrade, to keep the IC2 Miner competitive. I'm pretty sure he said he'll never add a silk touch machine though.

    Hobbyist's or TE steam engine?

    I just tested 8 charcoal in each. The Hobbyist engine is slightly ahead shortly after it started cooling down, so it really doesn't even take all that much to make it more efficient. With coal the difference would be even greater (it has double the heat value of charcoal but it's only about 50%...
