Oh come on, you need at least one not-terrible way to produce power mid-game. :p I'm not actually sure I ever disabled tesseracts anyway, or if I did I didn't do it properly. In practice the inability to generate efficient power teleportation is the biggest problem you'll have with them...

If you're playing on a server with these configs, because of the way config files work everyone on your server needs to install the configs on their client to see the changes properly. Crafting isn't working because what the client thinks is the correct recipe isn't what the server thinks is...

While the details of why I want this feedback are still private because it may come to nothing - although I'm hoping not - nevertheless I'm throwing this out there and getting a feel for the mood of the community, if you will. ;) How do you feel about magical and/or chemistry mods in...

For those of us quietly pondering whether to request a server invite or not, the recent developments are a little ominous. I would hope you better respect the work your players put into their constructions in future. :)

I suspect Sengir objects to other versions of biofuel showing up in other mods or something silly like that.

Aaaaaaand suddenly Yogscast switching to FTB makes perfect sense. I know I'm shooting for the moon here folks, but please don't comment on how you feel about the Technic Platform as a whole. This thread is for their new 1.5.1 modpack specifically. The interesting part of the new Tekkit mod...

If we're talking "best" power source without regard for the costs required, it's always fusion. Fusion power is the only power type that you can get running at maximum output 100% of the time without needing to supply fresh fuel, as fusion power runs on highly refined water.

The wiki is wrong. Advanced Solar Panels handles its own recipes. GregTech only affects the base Solar Panel recipe (which has a knock-on effect on the other recipes but that's another matter entirely).

Not all the recipes bothering you are set by GregTech, that's the problem. Some mods, like Advanced Solar Panels, have their own hard recipes by default.

Oil needs to be burnt as liquid fuel in something that accepts and burns liquid fuel. The simplest generator that uses Oil is the Combustion Engine, which will produce BuildCraft power. Combustion Engines explode if they aren't cooled properly, so you will also need to feed it a constant...

I'm not sure it'd be a fair fight because I cheated in a fusion reactor when I was building the server map. In hindsight that was a mistake. XD

I'd agree with you except that Energy Bridges are stupidly cheap making power conversion realistically obtainable very early on.

Yet another person overlooks oil entirely. This must be a lasting side-effect from the days when oil sucked ass generally; the buff to its power output per bucket is actually quite recent.

A heavily underrated source of power is diesel fuel. Oil wells last a lot longer than you think when you consider that one bucket of fuel gets you 600 000MJ which is exactly how much you can fit into a single Redstone Energy Cell. If you want EU all you need is a Power Converter and suddenly...

So I'm the guy who pretty much invented GregTech Easy Mode. I never intended to do that but hey, here we are. My server uses the standard GregTech configs. (-ish) Whether GregTech is balanced or not depends on two things to me: 1) Does the game run 24/7 (i.e. a server) or just when you're...

The GregTech beta (and GregTech 3) already do this actually, although the mechanics of it are slightly different to regular IC2 machines: the upgrades get hardwired into the machine, cannot be recovered and are lost when the machine is removed and it can only take 4 of a type of upgrade. Still...

You will find the Redstone Energy Cell works phenomenally well with the Energy Bridge so I'd recommend against avoiding it, it's worth 2.5 MFEs after the conversion. Additionally conduits are strictly superior to pipes for power transfer (in fact over very long distances they're superior even to...

OK then. Make sure your browser isn't blocking the download. You might have an overzealous security program or addon. :( SSL is a security feature mainly used to get a secure connection to a website, for example online shopping. The link is secure so perhaps your browser is misconfigured.

That's odd. I'm sure that's happened to other people before but you're the first who's reported it. I can download the pack OK but that doesn't mean much because it's my Dropbox account. Can someone else confirm that the download is public and can be downloaded? Thanks. :)

Actually, the project forked. I'm supporting Thunderdark's version with the config pack until further notice.
