It wasn't original, most of the things it introduced were already available via creative mode. It wasn't well-implemented because of how terribly imbalanced it was. However, your last point I will agree with. It's not that I'm spoiling for a fight (even if I'm not the one that you are...

Once you get one energy collector it takes no time at all to create all the items you could ever dream of from thin air. The mod gave you all sorts of creative mode tricks. It ruins servers and in general is terrible design for sustainable survival play. The other problem is its exponential...

You can actually get Arid bees which will have the "None" for flowers, making it so your bees will work regardless of what is nearby. Very handy if you ask me. How fast is the passive xp? Is it noticeable? I use beautific in general.

Forgive me if I am wrong, but isn't fast the highest speed for productivity in bees if you don't have thaumic bees installed? I currently have Speed: Fast Life: Longest T: U&D 3 H: U&D 2 Flier, nocturnal, cave Beautific Max fertility (Passive DNA production) I'm hoping they add Thaumic...

RP machine's lag issues (I'm looking at you relays, and timer spamming) has caused me to revisit BC pipes for my systems. I'm loving BC pipes way more than RP at the moment. If Eloraam were to fix the lag issues inherent in her engines and make it so that her engines didn't need a physical...

I heard mention that they were making it so that worlds from mindcrack and direwolf could be converted to the ultimate. So if it's possible my server will. However if not, we shall continue to use mindcrack and manually add mystcraft in on the side. :D Personally I'm very close to just...

Hmm I suppose making them less fertile is one way of dealing with that. Personally I like having passive DNA production. I have about 20 alvearies running now with various kinds of bees depending on what resources we need. Extra drones get identified and liquified into a 9x8x9 iron tank.

I tried to set it up. I copies/improvised a set up from a video in which the guy set up automated alvearies using sorting machines and a regulator to make sure that a queen and then a drone goes in (they have to be set in this order otherwise you'll get your bees in places they don't belong)...

Buildcraft pipes and apiarist pipes are extremely efficient and easy for alveary/squeezer/centrifuge automation. I highly recommend you process everything in buildcraft, then dump the results into a chest/ender chest that is connected to an RP sorting system. Bee's are not very friendly with...

Well you get creative mode flight and faster than creative mode block removal all for practically free. As for spawning mob, soul shards accomplish mob spawning at will. As for blocks, well with the vajra's mining capabilities and quarries and a proper sorting system, you have all the blocks you...

Vajra is great. Combine it with solar helm and gravichest and wa-lah, you are creative mode beast in a survival server. Most balanced tech out there :)

I bet you that there are just as many old timers who share these views as the youth. Personally I was raised on games like FFXI and EQ where grinds were the mainstay. I've learned the value of earning what is mine, and how when things are "easy" the game becomes boring and unrewarding. And I...

It is tedious at first but like most things, you have to build a system to protect your villagers from harm and to let them grow. This is no different than locating resources in the ground and mining them and then taking them back to base and refining them. Only in this case you have live cattle...

No amount of expense of the original recipe would outweigh the OP of the quarry being reusable. I am extremely unhappy with the gravichest plate and that mod in general. IMHO those items that give 'near'-creative powers should have a seperate durability past electricity. Quarries, especially...

I try to encourage cooperation not competition on my server. The lagging behind others is easily remedies by a little help from our server community. :)

I've seen many people showing a distaste for villagers. I find them quite amusing. I can understand that it can be a little tedious to deal with them. But that is the point and gives a sense of achievement to obtaining the pages. Besides, whats the point of playing survival (I'm assuming...

I think it would be cool if a GUI were added to the quarry block that would allow it to be configurable. Like for example have it only dig a certain pattern or only to a certain depth. Or perhaps instead of top->down it dug from side to side. However, in all honesty I feel that quarries are...

The only problem I've discovered with compact bases is the more compact it is the more FPS lag you will encounter. The problem becomes more and more exacerbated when you add IC2 stuff and RP stuff. I am currently going through the painful process of spreading things out once again.

Bee's are fickle. But I highly recommend if you are having mutation woes to use soul frames. They are eaten up rather quickly but the almost always guarantee a mutation in the lower tier bees. Frames in general are pretty awesome. But yea I've had some difficulties with certain bees. Emerald...

I *really* don't recommend using relay's in the current incarnation of RP. Just placing one without using it reduced FPS in the area from 120 to 80. They are very unfriendly atm. Someone mentioned that it was due to a very short internal delay. While I love relays and the theory behind them...
