    In your next Direwolf20 build, will you bother with IC2?

    It gets better: in the Ultimate and Mindcrack packs, GT's settings causes the electric wrench to be gated behind steel production. This wouldn't bother me if the basic wrench was usable. (i.e. didn't have any chance for loss ever)

    In your next Direwolf20 build, will you bother with IC2?

    Yeah, this issue irritates the crap out of me. The "basic" wrench is useless in my opinion, because you can't make it lossless. So you HAVE to use the electric wrench, or the omni wrench, if you don't want to wreck your stuff. For a while someone was maintaining a mod that made all wrenching...

    In your next Direwolf20 build, will you bother with IC2?

    I'm not sure I understand. In my SSP game yesterday I switched between research projects without any trouble.

    In your next Direwolf20 build, will you bother with IC2?

    Can't you just pull out those research notes and start another?

    Ultimate Pack

    They're all pretty much the basic IC2 object (with gregtech recipe application as appropriate) with a single Conveyor Module object. Two recipes show up in NEI for me: 3 glass, 3 aluminum, 2 circuits, 1 RE-bat. 3 glass, 3 refined iron, 2 circuits, 1 RE-bat. So this means the Automatic...

    REI's Minimap

    Yes, we've been given the VoxelMap minimap instead. For better or for worse.

    disabling parts of RP world gen.

    To the best of my ability to discern without decompiling Eloraam's work (which she's requested we not do), marble is generated as a recursive search across smooth stone exposed to air blocks instead of as a simple substitution the way ores work. This means that if there's a lot of exposed stone...

    Ultimate Pack

    They're supposed to emit to an inventory on their output side just like TE machines. Unfortunately, last I checked they don't have the nice Thermal Expansion interface; you have to set the output side with a wrench like IC2 power storage devices.

    What changed in Ultimate?

    Beta version -> 'final' release. The differences aren't nearly as significant as the number change.

    Ultimate Pack

    If it was an intentional change from greg, I imagine he would have disabled the recipe which lets you put a single industrial diamond in a crafting grid and receive a single regular diamond. My vote is "someone made an error in config files" and not "malicious action". At this point, that...

    In your next Direwolf20 build, will you bother with IC2?

    I have a few notions on that. First, the completely not productive: Realism in a game where you take two sticks and a diamond and get a shovel? :D Re: difficulty to balance/resource sink, I was thinking this could also potentially provide a better mechanism for providing interaction between...

    In your next Direwolf20 build, will you bother with IC2?

    I have to admit, a Metroid Prime style minimap hud element would be awesome. ;) Personally, what I'd like to see for MPS progression is a clearer set of distinct 'tiers' for more things.. The way you have LV -> HV for power, I'd like to see that for jetpacks and other things, so that instead...

    Ultimate Pack

    I'll say. I just discovered that the coal dust -> diamond chain is making industrial diamonds again. Weren't those deprecated a long time ago? EDIT: I'm aware you can convert them to regular diamonds with any crafting grid, but it's still weird.

    Ultimate Pack

    Who blamed the mod author? If you look here, where this side discussion started... This is discussing the configs. Semi-related: It seems kind of strange that in the final release version of the Ultimate pack, Modular Powersuits has both the vanilla and gregtech recipes enabled. I would...

    Ultimate Pack

    It's not a stupid comparison if that's the actual state of the pack. Ultimate pack's macerator needs diamonds. Ultimate pack's pulverizer doesn't.

    My definition of fun is clearly superior to your definition of fun, so I win. :D Competitive meta minecraft, yo.

    Ultimate Pack

    Unfortunately, I'm one of the folks whose performance suffers substantially with the voxel stuff enabled... Further, I really miss Rei's cave mode, and the ease with which I could change render mode and zoom in/out without stopping what I'm doing by setting up some keybindings. When I set up...

    Based on my previous observations, this is pretty much nominal behavior for FlowerChild.

    FTB Pack Comparison

    Not sure if you're aware, but the left edge of the chart is cut off; makes reading names a little trickier.
