    Ultimate 1.0.2 GregTech recipes

    No. I'm playing survival because the only difference is time. I value the time it takes for me to become bored with a game. So you can't create systems that provide stuff for you in creative? Balderdash. People do it all the time. Creative simply means that you spend less time gathering the...

    IC2 is slowly dying out ?

    I would actually be fine if steam could only be consumed, and not produced. I think that's a little whonky, and kind of pointless, to be honest. This is as good a solution as we're getting in the foreseeable future, however. Like it or not, I don't see the IC2 team as being overly invested in...

    IC2 is slowly dying out ?

    Physics doesn't apply to Minecraft. It never has, and it never will. If that's your gripe, there's a lot more to worry about than just PC.

    Lets See Some Bases! Give Us a Tour!

    Cool beans. I think I may do just that, then.

    IC2 is slowly dying out ?

    Hence why I don't use them. I like EU, but I don't like the current sources of EU generation. Power converters was a godsend.

    I run all of my GT machines off of steam. Power Converters. ;)

    What, you don't want to make 82 steam turbines? ;)

    Lets See Some Bases! Give Us a Tour!

    Yeah, yeah. Bleeeeh. It torments me, but I have to live with it now. Haha, thanks. I was actually pretty happy with this. This room is actually built into the side of a mountain, so I was thinking of having a glass wall all the way up the side of the mountain that shown down into the room. Or...

    IC2 is slowly dying out ?

    Yep. I've found a bit of middle ground in that I use Steam Boilers that go through power converters. Sure, it's stupid-easy compared to using steam turbines, but steam turbines are impractical to the point of hilarity. Fourty-five blocks equal about 360~ eu/t through the converters. Power...

    Lets See Some Bases! Give Us a Tour!

    Alright. So, round two of decorating a room in such a way that it doesn't look like complete ass. I'm still up in the air about the walls and ceiling, but I'm pretty happy with how the floor turned out.

    Which valve on a Xycraft store liquid data?

    Confirmed. I tested it on a 3-valve tank. Upon breaking the valve first, no liquid was lost. Breaking the valve on an unformed tank, however, cause me to lose a third of my tank's contents.

    Xycraft Multitanks and Lag.

    Here's my policy on information I find on the internet that I try and conform to as often as possible: If it's within my ability to confirm or deny, I do that. If it's not within my ability to confirm or deny, I hold on to the information. If it's drastically important, I'll relay it, but...

    Minecraft for fun

    I have a very twisted definition of 'fun'. I enjoy myself more when I know that the effort I went through to acquire something was greater than, or equal to the value of whatever I tried to acquire. Obviously converting manual labor into a value that can be compared to whatever the hell you're...

    Lets See Some Bases! Give Us a Tour!

    Here's my WIP tree farm out in the middle of nowhere where it can't destroy anything but itself. Also, my pet cow that I abducted. Conveyors sure are a hoot.

    IC2 is slowly dying out ?

    Reactors should probably be putting out at least double what they currently do, if not more. Nuclear energy is pathetic, and IC2 should really knock it up a notch.

    IC2 is slowly dying out ?

    When are we going to kill the Lich with a series of exploding IC2 machines? There. Now we can have our cake and eat it, too.

    Beekeeping, What am I doing wrong?

    I'm not really vouching for anyone, really. I'm just trying to clear up a dispute with any data that I have available. Anecdotal evidence isn't all that great, so the wiki was the next best thing.

    Beekeeping, What am I doing wrong?

    http://ftbwiki.org/Speed First sentence of paragraph one and two. Obviously this is a community wiki, so it could be wrong. Sengir would provide the final word on it.

    IC2 is slowly dying out ?

    Yikes. I wanted wind power to be looked into, but not like that. That's god damn awful. I could understand technology improving solar power to a mild extent. However, I do not understand how technology would cause a light breeze to create hurricane-strength wind energy. Like, that's just...

    Xycraft Multitanks and Lag.

    That's good to hear. On another note, why doesn't someone just start a fresh server map, record the performance, and then just build a load of xycraft tanks? See how much it affects the performance with no unknown variables to take away from the experiment. A lot of data that you try and...
