What you may not see is that a lot of us denouncing these kinds of mechanics actually play a very involved style of game as well. I don't go around asking for added tedium in the name of difficulty. I don't need to. I've got over 100 modded MC videos on my channel that show all kinds of...

I ultimately build for form, but I keep function in mind as I do so. All I really need to know about function is that I'll want a lot of space available. As long as I've got that space, I can add on all manner of cosmetic details whether they're functional or not.

Let's just nip this whole soon-to-be-convoluted mess in the bud. The initial point I made was that there are certain central, key points to game design that spell the difference between successful games (mods) that are widely enjoyed and niche games (mods) that are enjoyed by only a sliver of...

Behind every smartass answer in this thread is someone who is insecure about their ability to build. Build envy: it's a thing. Freud said so. If one wants to know the general consensus for building, recognizing that the term "general consensus" doesn't mean "everyone", it would be...

I dated her once.

It does. I've explained this. I've already paid for the machine when I consumed the materials to make it. I've paid for the usage of the machine when I provided it with the energy it needed to function, which was provided by machines that I already paid for when I consumed the materials to make...

A ridiculous thing to append a cost to. Next up, let's make it so wearing armor causes damage with every step taken. As above, "because that's what I decided" is a lame reason. The devs can do better. Someone who tried to sell a car for $2k + $20/month would be sitting on that car for an...

No, I think the disagreement comes from people not listening. There's this truly awfully tendency for people to see an opposing point of view and interpret one thing and one thing only from it: "You disagree, therefore I must defend." Kind of goes to shit directly after that. I don't know...

There's a word that describes what's going on here. It's "apologist". Constant power drain on idle, basic machines is a poorly conceived system that was made for reasons that had nothing to do with enhancing the player experience.

You're not a moderator, don't pretend to be one. An artifact is something that existed and remains unchanged. Power drain on idle machines did not exist when pipes were lossy and machines exploded. It's a specific implementation. I can call an apple an orange and pretend it's an orange...

That's not what I said. You're not understanding the key points on the topic. The point is that for every cost there must be a reward. Period. PERIOD. Stop trying to fill in blanks that aren't there. The BC system of power drain on idle machines is a cost without a reward. PERIOD...

4 iron for an ender pearl is pretty reasonable. Ender Pearls are becoming the overused status quo progression brake. And in that role they are absolutely terrible. I don't take anyone seriously who says, "Oh, you just set up an endermen farm" or "oh, you just go to the End and bring a linking...

I use ftbwiki.org because I was told that's the officially unofficial wiki and for a time was updated quite often. At least for the Unleashed pack, however, it's got entire mods missing and key components for some mods also not updated. It's hard to criticize, however, because the whole idea...

I didn't, and I no longer argue with people who can't interpret simple English without butchering it into their own misshapen version of things.

You know what works really well if you want a ready supply of water? Standing next to a 3x3 water source with a bucket. So when we talk about automating the accumulation of an infinite resource with a 3x3 footprint, the accumulator fits the bill pretty well. It doesn't cost a lot to make and...

I don't normally link videos outside the youtuber section but this one is directly relevant to the conversation:

<.< ... >.> ... Too easy.

A dedicated REC is a step in the direction of a solution, but it's a) an incomplete solution and b) one that we shouldn't have to find. It's great if you've got all your BC/RC/Forestry machines on one REC that you can turn off when needed, but if you just want to run your <insert machine here>...

I think this issue is indicative of what happens when mod devs who don't understand balance make unilateral changes in response to what someone else is doing in a different mod. This is a stab directly at early-game, because as you point out, by the time you're established with boilers and MJ...

Big part of the game is figuring that stuff out for yourself. Wiki is there to be read.
