It's just a power system, a means to an end. Seriously, what's there to 'like' about a copper cable?

Again this is a problem if the launcher would finally separate 'modpacks' from 'config packs'. DC is just fine for single player. If someone wants to play russian roulette with their force wrench; let 'em. But IMHO for servers altleast the force wrench should be disabled. So the solution would...

Ash are the salts that are left over when all the carbon is burned away. You need carbon to make steel. So it doesn't make any sense that ash could be used to make steel.

Worse even: automation becomes a hazard. You can easily end up with a situation where a bunch of farms / quarries spit out craptons of entities at an unloaded chunk border and severely lag/crash the server. Banning chunk loaders is done by terribad admins.

Can people PLEASE stop perpetuating the falsehood that TE will discontinue? King Lemming himself said it was going to be continued, just not by himself personally.

You younglings might use it that way but it orignally, back in the BBS/Usenet days, it was "Humble", also in the form of IMNSHO, "In my not-so-humble opinion".

Humble actually.

Because balance is important for server play. Single player it's typically not an issue, but it's annoying if you play on a server and try to 'restrain' yourself while the rest doesn't. There's a fine balance between making stuff too easy and making stuff too tedious, and it's good if mod...

Funny but still an appeal to ridicule fallacy.

Still doesn't matter. I mean, if you want to make stuff needlessly complex be my guest but moving all that stuff around every time you need to switch makes no sense at all. I just have 2 tesseracts (power / liquid) right on the pump and that's it.

The main difference is that in the old system with refined iron you just toss 6 stacks of iron in a furnace and go do something else in the meantime. So it served it's purpose: prevent recipe conflits without adding unnessary timesinks. The plate hammering thingy just adds tedium. Also to add...

He did. He got ignored by a TiCo dev. :D

Your setup makes no sense at all. Oilwells don't last that long and you will have to move your entire setup every X hours. Why not simply refine/store the stuff in your base?

And that's why I didn't say "it's a timesink" but "it's nothing but a timesink". Timesinks are never a goal in itself. There should always be a proper time/reward tradeoff and when there's no real reward for spending the time it's "nothing but a timesink".

Just a normal single MFR autospawner with pigmen. Yes, and I have well over a hundred (without even opening those 1500 new bags) without doing anything for them. They're a passive by-effect of the spawner I use the generate mobdrops. That's the point: you don't actually have to do anything...

The TL;DR types who only skimmed over your bullet-points and missed the whine about TE not being 'innovative', sure. As if that says anything :D

Oh, there I was thinking that it was about building stuff...

Like said before: the issue with spoils bags is already 'fixed'. I do hope turtles don't get the bags though, I'm not sure of that.

If you want to show people stuff like that it tends to help if you switch back to the default textures. It's kinda hard to recognize the TE machines in that one.
