The biggest WTF is the amount of energy they produce. It's again a case of someone hearing something about some sciency thing and without looking into it at all create their own interpretation of it. RTG's are used for application where you need a low amount of power for a long duration. A few...

Spawn in a quantum generator. Anything else is obviously too much work. What's that going to solve? It doesn't give a power surpluss.

Did they fix the bug with turtles grabbing books from mystcraft receptacles? It used to crash our server.

It really helps if that 'luck' spawns a nether fortress right in front of your entrance. For some wierd reason we always have that luck on our server plays but when I play solo; no dice. The biggest challenge of getting blazerods is finding the fortress.

I personally don't drop that stuff into my AE system at all; I just pipe drones into a chest that sits on top of a hopper that feeds into my genepool. I use an insertion pipe that leads on to a void pipe in case I produce more drones than the genepool can handle. I do this for most of the...

What you're doing wrong is randomly tossing bees into the mix and hoping something pops out without checking them. Always analyse your bees. Always breed with pure bees. (so a pure tropical princess and a pure exotic drone (or the other way around, doesn't matter)). If you use a mutator with...

It's really not new at all. It's used extensively in MMO's where you can never have too many keybindings. When I played Arena in WoW (back in the TBC days where Druids + Warrior = win) I used ESDF because it gave me more keys within reach. For MC or generic shooters it's really not relevant.

And for that you needed to bump an old thread? Welcome to the forums captain obvious.

Free energy. Yeah, awesome.

Seriously? How old are you? People here care about IC2 and are displeased by the lack of meaningfull progress in that mod. I LIKE IC2, just for all the fun I had with it. But if you say you can't understand why people like TE you either never used it or you're trolling. Just the configurability...

Seriously. Why are you even bothering with people who drag TE stuff into this discussion? King Lemming brought us configurable input/output sides. For that alone he should get the Nobel Peace Price.

Yeah, it's pretty obvious you have a favority mod and no other mod can ever get anywhere close.

I'd love something like that. The main difference between IC2 and BC power is that BC power has been adapted by a lot of mods as their primary power source. And especially with TE conduits it just makes sense now to have a big base with BC power distribution. With IC2 power; much less so. The...

I never run into these issues because I tend to have one furnace per smeltable item anyway. That way I can easily keep a certain amount of dusts in stock. By the way; do IC2 furnaces already respond to redstone? Agree. That grinder is a royal pain in the behind.

Sure, but steel can mine pretty much anything. Stone can't. If you can make a steel pickaxe head + slime rod + paper binding you have a tool that can last you a lifetime. I would personally put moss + redstone + lapis + the smelting upgrade on it. Very nice early mining tool.

I got confused about this too because it changed. To make a cast for for example a pickaxe head, you first need to make a stone pickaxe (the normal way, with the wooden stencils). Then you need to place that pickaxe head on a casting table and then pour the cast. You then end up with a pickaxe...

Seriously, who are you trying to preach to? You keep going on and on about how IC2 is 'better' than other mods and how it's not outdated and fun and what not, but you seem not to notice that no one is listening. IC2 has been stale for ages. I was happy when I heard they're going to pick up...

There's a faster pollination, 'Maximum", but it doesn't have a localized name (shows up as "gui.pollination.maximum" or something) so I have no idea if it actually works. It hardly matters though; for tree breeding you really just want a bunch of apiaries nearbij with bees that are...

For me the easiest way is to just use TE liquid transposers. They can fill / empty pretty much any kind of liquid container. Just hook them up to the tank using a liquiduct.

Don't forget that it does the same doubling you get from other stuff, so it's a nice investment that does not require anything 'rare' such as gold. I had more that enough after my first caving session in my current build. The biggest challenge was the clay; no shallow water nearby :)
