    What exactly is offensive about being told to play in creative mode?

    That's not difficulty, that's knowledge. And while they are linked in the majority of cases, they aren't here. You might argues there's a skill in setting up an efficient set up, and I would be inclined to agree, but you haven't accomplished something difficult, you're showing what you know...

    What exactly is offensive about being told to play in creative mode?

    All completely true. However, minecraft as a whole is ENTIRELY tedium, to various levels. And the currency in Minecraft? Time. Nothing more, nothing less. There's no particularly difficult part of minecraft, especially once you've gotten up to diamond armor. There's that one breach point along...

    What causes this lighting/illumination glitch?

    It's just the drivers from ATI. I had the same issue until I updated. I'm on 13.251-131206a-166151E-ATI and no longer have the issue. Can't remember what version it stopped, but I know I had issues on 12 for a while.

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    When you say "1 train" do you mean a locomotive? If so, you should be using a lockdown track. A boarding track will only hold the one cart, and then when told to go will let the whole train go, meanwhile the locomotive will be tugging, and pulling, and trying to tear away, which if you get a...

    If you're just adding everything, I'm sure you can find a list of numbers on the internet.

    What exactly is offensive about being told to play in creative mode?

    I agree with the sentiment that people who tell others to go play creative are complete wankers. I completely, utterly, totally DISAGREE with the way you seem to think discussing mod balance is a stupid thing to do. There needs to be balance and it needs to be considered, addressed and applied...

    What exactly is offensive about being told to play in creative mode?

    My point is the famous joke: On the road, everyone going slower than you is a moron, everyone going faster is a maniac. In Minecraft, anyone who wants things simpler is a creative-noob, and anyone who wants things harder has a tedium-boner.

    What exactly is offensive about being told to play in creative mode?

    It's because people tend to forget that playstyles are a spectrum, like driving speeds. Creative Plays easier Plays harder Gregtechs cousin who mode than you than you thinks Greg plays easy V V V V...

    Good FPS?

    Depending on the code, Locking to 60 might actually make it drop to 30. Say you're running 60 fps, and locking to 60. That's great! Everytime your monitor goes "SEND ME A FRAME" you're video card goes "Sure, here's the one I just finished!" But now you install a mod, and you can only get...

    Thaum 4... a dichotomy.

    You know you need praecantio because the thing you're trying to make is magical in nature. I've not played through TC4 yet, so the following is nearly blind, but if I'm making a furnace, I'm going to be looking at fire, metal, stone, and the permutatio. If I'm making wands, I'm looking arbor...

    Good FPS?

    You all clearly have gigantic e-penises. Congratulations. Uh... how is maxing out your framerate at 60fps going to make it better than ranging between 80 and 120? Bollocks. Unless they void their items from quarries by dumping them on the ground, you will not get a range of 20-180fps on the...

    Wouldn't it make sense to swap all those stone parts out for Ardite?

    Thaumcraft Transmutations not Working: Whats Up?

    My only guess is that the order of the aspects might matter? IE, if you're going for copper, put the apple aspect in first, rather than last, as if the system looks at them in order, then it will go "transmutio, metallum... hrm, that's IRON!" and ignore the apple. Only a guess.

    Best way to transfer research and update modpacks

    I tried that in the move to the latest Mindcrack pack to no success. Was hoping someone could give me either better instructions or more info. Something I'm yet to try is duplicate the world, then MC Edit to delete all the chunks. The game will regen, but I'm essentially the same player. I...

    Best way to transfer research and update modpacks

    I find that when I update worlds / packs that things go screwy for me. First, the easy one: How can I transfer Thaumcraft knowledge from my current world to a new one (Same player log in, just a new world) Second: Last time I updated my Mindcrack pack, I ended up with the classic "New gen"...
