I think you answered your own question. The incentive to use Factorization systems doesn't seem to justify the process required to earn them in the eyes of a not insignificant number of people. Personally, I don't see any "flame wars" taking place over TE vs. IC2. TE takes the IC2 concepts...

Updated with latest Global Builders Guide showcasing scrolling windows.

As someone who has worked in renovations in the past, I find this statement to be...tragic. "In the real world", you bring all of your tools with you because you can be 100% pro and if you try to bring "only what you need" you're guaranteed to find yourself facepalming when you realize you've...

You're comparing apples to oranges to pomegranates. In my last world, I had a gold chest designated for iron ingots and eventually had to start converting the ingots into blocks because the chest was full. By the time I had pushed that world as far as it would go I had about 20-25 stacks of...

As I pointed out, scarcity/rarity is a vanilla concern, not a modded MC concern. There's not much more to say about it. Mod packs like what FTB offers don't add to the vanilla game, they change the vanilla game. When we're not talking about "balance", what are we talking about? Frame...

For me, modded Minecraft isn't about the resource game as much as it seems to be for other people. When we're talking about mod packs that allow for the automation of pretty much everything, blaming Equivalent Exchange for "imbalanced" access to resources makes no sense to me. How do you not...

They see the quartz and they think, "I hate it when you destroy my drops." Then they see the ore blocks right next to the quartz and think, "omg get in my bags." Then they watch the drops fall on the quartz and disappear and because this is the internet and we can't reach through our monitors...

If the server has any rules in place referencing common sense, then the two guys in the quarry would likely be breaking that rule. The guy running the quarry is providing the energy to clear out the trash blocks, saving the guys in the quarry energy or durability on their tools to gather the...

Updated with global builders snapshot 0.1.0

This isn't even about what anyone here is or isn't asking for. It's about taking an objective look at what is going on and not staying on the fence longer than is useful out of fear that Greg will retaliate and make people mad at the FTB team in a surrogate role. Right now, Greg has all the...

I appreciate your point of view but I can't say I fully agree with it. To me, a knee-jerk response would have been pulling GT from packs when he started reflecting through java to change the behavior of other mods without the consent of those mod devs. Especially for a mod pack team that speaks...

Updated with beginners guide for modpacks. With vanilla textures even. omg

Minecraft isn't tuned for PvP in sandbox mode, and the discrepancy is even worse with large mod packs. I've seen some PvP videos that were more like PvP adventure maps than anything else and those were successful because the designer of the map could regulate things in the name of balance that...

Here's the concern that I have, and I'm just offering this up for consideration. Ever since this whole debacle with Greg and mDiyo, everywhere I go (FTB related), all I see is GregTech. Corporations would pay top dollar for this kind of public exposure, and they'd often have no reservation...

I think you're trying to diminish the concepts. I can list games for days where margin for error is the central challenge dynamic, it's a very functional challenge dynamic, and it's anything but tedious because it can be applied to countless different situations. These are also typically games...

Learning curve was just one component I mentioned. As far as people being bored and wanting more, I have no issues with that whether they want a grind they can just settle in to or they want a challenge. Nobody has to justify that to me. I'm just delineating between true challenge and tedium...

Let's pretend you're seated at a table. In front of you is a red bowl, and a blue bowl. Inside the blue bowl is a ball. I tell you to take the ball out of the blue bowl and put it in the red bowl, which you do. I then tell you to take the ball out of the red bowl and put it into the blue...

I'd add a blurb to handle inputs in lower case or outside the expected values. More to the point, it's very hard to tell but it looks like you're just nesting the questions and then barfing the ends all at the bottom. Consider this: function waitClear (length) if not (length == 0)...

Are you entering the Y/N choices as capitals or lower case? Also, you appear to have two else statements referencing 'N' as input. It's kind of a mess, really. From formatting to method it's a pretty wobbly script. Bulletproof the input, format the code properly with indentations and such...

It might change something. Greg is driven by ego. He's got a bunch of sheople sycophants on the forums that rationalize and defend his every act and decision and his mod was just so damn awesome it was featured in a mod pack when it was still just a bunch of nerfs to IC2. The only way to get...
