The likelihood of me ever deciding XyCraft is worth dealing with all of the extra noise in materials is very low, particularly since I've concluded the author has a notion of game design somewhat akin to a five year old going "OO OO AND THEN I'LL--".

A server that's running 24/7 AND has enabled chunk loaders AND you are able to deploy chunk loaders AND it's either configured for indefinite running or you can get the fuel to run the chunk loaders constantly... ... and you're still not getting your energy recovered for a very long time.

Oh, for f-- Okay, part of the problem is the STUPID emoticon nonsense. -XX:PermSize=128 The capital P is critical. Edit: You don't want quotes.

Sure! The first thing I had to do to get the launcher to stop bailing out on me was make sure I was running the apple native java 6... Apparently, the oracle java 7 doesn't play nicely with this stuff. I don't remember offhand how I tracked that down and removed it; when I get a chance to...

And there's a lot of folks who agree with you, but there's not much we can do about it.

So, with my windows machine out of commission temporarily, I decided to load up FTB Ultimate on my mac. After some fussing with java settings (mostly involving memory bits), it seems to be working fine, except in-game when I interact with stone objects, it's super-quiet; sounds like...

Be advised: A lot of redpower stuff is a heck of a lot laggier in a lot of circumstances than IC2/GT. Be careful, mileage may vary, etc.

Normal mode versus hard mode on the tier 2 solar panel (the first one introduced in the pack) only changes whether or not you need Irradiant Glass (the step that needs glowstone + refined uranium) instead of just Reinforced Glass. The Normal mode recipe requires 2 UUM and 1 Iridium ingot. For...

... this doesn't really explain or answer anything. Why bring this up?

I'm not talking about the Ultimate ones; I've never had cause (or capacity) to get that high up the chain. I'm talking about the first one the mod adds, the tier 2 solar panel that produces an entire 8 EU/t during day, 1 EU/t during night. A production rate that doesn't remotely approach...

Is there supposed to be some kind of revelation in the changelog that contradicts Eunomiac's general position? If there's anything besides the quartz stacking change (the only thing remotely relevant here), I can't see it; I read over the XyCraft entry in your changelog post twice and I'm still...

Really? 8 EU/t during the day, 1 EU/t during the night, is such an amazing benefit to justify the cost of 2 UUM and 1 iridium ingot? And that's the normal recipe, not the hard recipe. I really wonder about the IC2 community sometimes. :( Any day now, watermills are going to start costing...

Well, as the server operator, you can disable player display on the minimap altogether with MotD settings (you'll need to add a mod that does proper motd output; rei provides one) http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/482147-147-jan10-reis-minimap-v32-06/ At that point, for them to see player...

To clarify: The biogas engine won't explode, but the pipes will. There isn't really a way to restrict buildcraft energy in a way that will prevent pipe destruction other than to turn off the engine feeding it, which generally means fun with buildcraft gates. By the time you're able to make...

Nope. Other way around.

You can use NEI to get back the stuff that's important to you.

A few worlds ago, I just made myself a safe area underneath some cobblestone, and just aggro'd a crapton of Endermen on the main landmass and slashed 'em with a nano saber. It didn't take me long to get like 15 stacks of pearls. This was with no machinery, no prepping the local spawn space with...

I don't see how that affects my point; equally, in the real world you don't go punching trees apart with your hands and carve apart entire mountains armed only with a pile of rocks and some sticks. With GT as provided in both Ultimate and MindCrack, the electric wrench is gated behind steel...

The person in charge of IC2 has repeatedly refused to do any such thing despite many requests over the lifetime of the mod. I am totally down with requiring a special device to remove a machine. I'm even okay with the device losing durability (for the standard wrench) or consuming power (for...

As I said earlier, that's what I do with my first two diamonds. I just think it's stupid I need to do that for what should be readily accessible functionality. :(
