I do actually think that AE is cheaper to start with, plus it seems much more 'performance friendly' in terms of not bogging down client / server gameplay.

How do you handle adding panels to sides of your socket blocks when you have two connecting sides? Is there an easy way to do it? Also, the three part spotlight you have linked actually states that you can Grind and Smelt ore in one block. Is that not the case anymore? (Tooltips state that...

Yeah, Logistics Pipes are super-expensive. That is one BIG issue I have with it.

Well if it is an energy system that is as easy to use and operate as the rest of Thermal Expansion is, I'm quite sure it will become popular.

So.. I see lot of people asking for updated spotlights for the mod. Has this come to fruition yet? I am really attempting to understand the inner workings of Engineer's Toolbox but there are numerous aspects of it that are just immensely confusing. I am trying to slog through the wiki but even...

Nono.. Eloraam tweeted the following: I was hoping to have a big announcement by now, but things are taking more time than I expected. Who's bright idea was DOTA anyway? Notice that there is zero mention of RedPower or even Minecraft in that statement? There is no indication of any developer...

I really would love for AE to be able to handle liquids as well, just like Logistics Pipes can. I know the Extra Cells addon mod can add this function but it is rather buggy for my preferences.

Love the ideas behind this mod, I've downloaded it and I will put it to some testing. What are the odds of you adding MORE blocks for boosting the Modular Furnace? Obsidian blocks perhaps as a slight upgrade to cobblestone, but not as good as iron / redstone blocks? Nether Quartz blocks could be...

KingLemming, I'm quite sure everyone will be excited and pleased with whatever new changes may come to Thermal Expansion! While I personally do miss Thermal Expansion a great deal right now, I must admit that I am feeling the lack of the OmniWrench in 1.6.2 very badly right now!

While other systems like Logistics Pipes definitely have the capabilities of Applied Energistics, AE really wins out with being so framerate friendly. Covered ME Cables and configuration file adjustments means that you don't have a lot of items or visual effects 'whizzing about'. AE blocks being...

I really feel like it could be super-educational to get mod developers such as yourselves, KingLemming and CovertJaguar, to sit down and do quick explanations like this for players. I think it really could help in clear up a lot of the 'urban myths' that surround popular mods and the way they...

Are we still listing RedPower as being in development? Really?

Logistics Pipes EXPLODE now?! Wow, talk about a big deterrent from mismanaging your network.

All it takes is two or three 'default destination' chests configured on your Logistics Pipe network and you will have 0% dropped items. You just have to be diligent and check your overflow chests regularly, just like you have to regularly check your drive storage levels on your Applied...

Regarding Pneumatic-Tube-Like-Systems, I really think the mod that best replicates that behaviour would be Logistics Pipes. It has guaranteed delivery, sorting options, intelligent routing, the works. It even has the same wonderful feature of negatively impacting your framerate! YAY! :D

I think my primary mistake was that I was using the FTB Launcher arguments with the Official Minecraft Launcher. Plugging the SERVER arguments into it has shown a significant boost to my client's performance. (This is all in SSP, just for the record.) I am still testing to make sure the...

Okay using your Server settings string is making night and day difference for me. Steady smooth 40 FPS, even after hours of playing and building. It's nice! Will keep you appraised of progress.

There used to actually be a really helpful thread here on the forums from the 1.4.7 FTB modpack heyday that had a bunch of pro-tips on how to minimize lag... a BIG chunk of which centered around the older style of BuildCraft pipes (they used to be pretty bad about lag) as well as Pneumatic Tube...

I'd just quickly like to correct this: improperly setup pneumatic tube systems can cause tons of lag, exactly the same as BuildCraft pipes or Logistics Pipes. Setup a Pneumatic system PROPERLY and you'll never see lag. That being said however.. Applied Energistics and Logistics Pipes really...

But should I be using your FTB Launcher arguments... or the MultiMC arguments?
