    This is part of why I liked AE1: it allowed an ENCOURAGED you to go nuts and automate everything under this one, massive network. And yeah I'm going for faceless too. :P

    It's the circle magic that only works at night and spawns a crapton of Nether-based mobs and blocks.

    I'm sure that's the case, and don't get me wrong I still like the mod. I have it in my SSP world for the things I do find useful in the mod, plus the fact that some of that stuff is just pretty damn cool (creating a portal to hell and unleashing everything inside? I'M IN!). But half the...

    Opinions on Combat

    The only games I've ever seen make grinding monsters for all of your materials fun (or just grinding in general) have enemy AI that blows MC's out of the water and into orbit. Monster Hunter comes to mind.

    Mod creation

    Well, upon testing the Botania Mana-to-RF converter it's pretty inefficient, only creating 40% as much energy. So no balance problems here.

    Thaumcraft updated and added a decent amount of neat content and a few nerfs. Witchery added some stuff but honestly I don't use Witchery that much because it's simply not very useful in SSP compared to most other mods. The vast majority of its content is aimed at PvP. Botania added a bunch...

    I better test!

    The Update to 1.8

    No joke. Even on some of the crazier SC2 mods I can usually pull out 60 FPS (75 on a normal game). I can barely reach 60 on a relatively small 1.7 modpack.

    Mod creation

    I wonder, do you get more energy out of the Thermalily eating Lava and converting it to RF than jut putting the Lava into Magmatics?

    That two-word reply means nothing on the Internet, where nearly EVERYTHING is an opinion.

    The Update to 1.8

    Honestly 1.7 (and this will very likely apply to 1.8) is just a very large cutoff for people with toasters. Sorry if this sounds rude, but the fact is that at this point modded Minecraft should be considered, in terms of performance, as taxing as a triple-A title and thus you really shouldn't...

    A New Direction [BC API/RF API]

    IMO, IC2E + addons is mostly worthless now as the EU ecosystem simply does not have anywhere near the stability or functionality that the RF ecosystem does. You simply aren't missing anything except crops in a pure RF world that you would get by adding in IC2. This is especially true now that...

    How far will Thaumcraft Taint spread?

    If you really like where you're at and you can't stop it, kill it via Creative Mode (there's a flower in Thaumcraft that kills Taint). Taint is probably the only situation I'd actually recommend doing this outside of AE2 Presses.

    How do you feel about AE2?

    If you leave them on all the time, yes. You can turn them off when you're not using them using the equally cheap cable add-on that acts like the old dark cable.

    Opinions on Combat

    Dual wielding and RPG-style skills. More weapon types, namely spears, daggers. hammers, etc. Enemies should also get the aforementioned skills. When I can be a flying ninja that dual-wields a dagger and a lance, I will be happy. And yes, I actually had a character like that in an RPG I played.

    How do you feel about AE2?

    In the world I did this in, I'm running off of 4 Golden Chests. I'm in no huge hurry to get more storage because my chests are only half full and can be upgraded. And actually, I think that the entire point was to delay how quickly you could get a network up. If you don't even have the...

    How do you feel about AE2?

    You don't need storage cells to get crystal growth accelerators. In other words, you don't need pure crystals before you get the accelerators.

    A New Direction [BC API/RF API]

    As for me, I am simply not entertained by complex power systems, nor impressed by what other people do with them. Ever. I am entertained and impressed consistently by what people actually do with that power.

    A Shitstorm

    I question the decision to put two conflicting mods in the same pack like that at all, at least for SMP. That is the reason that you can't literally just throw every mod you find into a modpack for server use.
