It would make me feel better, except I've also cluelessly hooked up an ME chest to a controller with nothing else attached, having labored under the same misunderstanding as you did. Well, good thing that overengineering is not a cardinal sin.

You're kidding! *looks at golem/pipe setup, slinks away*

I like the idea of this modpack and would use it myself, if it weren't for the following omissions: -EE3. I'm aware that this is a controversial mod and have no desire to rekindle the endless debates regarding its OP-ness or lack thereof, but I personally find the ability to swap cobble for...

*shudder* Or, if you're a sane person, you'll take one look at the mats required to build a fusion reactor and run screaming in the other direction. Yes, I know you said "without regard for cost", but cost is a really important factor for most people. IMO, fusion is one of the worst ways to...

"What power source is best?" sounds like a basic question, but it really isn't. There are so many ways to generate power that some people have spent hours running simulations, using actual math to compare the results, and debating the pros and cons of a particular approach for pages and pages of...

I loathe that Minecraft limits doors to being either 2x1 or 2x2. That's just too small to be a proper door for a building of any significant size. That's why I've fallen in love with the Secret Rooms mod, which (via the camo gate) allows construction of doors of almost any size and shape. A camo...

I've been playing Minecraft since... Beta 1.7 or 1.8, I think. Never killed the Enderdragon. Don't see why I'd ever want to. Ender bees aren't worth that much of a detour. Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever been to the End in a non-testing world. Took one look around, saw how dull it...

Friend, your sig is huge, and it makes it really hard to look like I'm working when I check this forum at work. Understated > ostentatious.

I have a few worlds that are dedicated "survival-only" in which I do not use creative mode. In most of them, however, I allow myself to switch freely back and forth. For mixed worlds, I limit item spawning to bricks and wood to aid in construction, acquiring all other materials the normal way.

As I've said in another thread, I turn on Creative mode to build large buildings and structures. I never really considered this cheating because creative building is basically a different game for me. When I construct a new building, I'm taking a break from the game where you accumulate...

In no particular order: -EE2... Mercurial Eye, how I miss thee. And other things too, but the Eye especially. -Applied Energistics: Edged out logistics pipes as my favorite method for automation, and storage monitors look awesome. -Modular Power Suits: I love that you can start on your power...

I've fiddled some with MFR this week and I have to agree, it's an amazing mod. The animal farms are easy to set up, work great and are fun to watch! I quite enjoy watching my cows frantically try to run the wrong way on a conveyor belt to escape the mob grinder... sometimes it takes a few...

I would argue that the crafting table attachment from Modular Powersuits outdoes both the minium stone and the pocket crafting table. Now I have a pickaxe, shovel, axe and crafting table all in one tool! *sings an ode to MPS* Of course, MPS' crafting attachment isn't available as early as the...

An uber-modpack is one of those ideas that's better in theory than it would be in practice. I suspect most people will agree that adding a few mods you like to FTB is better than trying to develop a pack that contains all mods from everywhere.

Still following this thread. Thanks for all the info, and if you find out something new, please share with the class.

Harsh, man. Harsh.

I gave up and gave myself enough pages to make a flat, plains Age where villages will be a) more plentiful, because it's all plains and b) easier to spot, because it's flat. I felt like that was a fair compromise... still sorta playing the mod as intended while not pulling my hair out in...

Ain't that the truth. Spent more than an hour looking for a village last night and couldn't find a single one. I don't think it was nerfed so much as it turned itself into a slot machine where success is based on luck with world gen.

Amusing thread. Honestly, I've never understood how something can be OP in a game with no explicit goals, except those which the user sets for him/herself...

Wow, really? Of course you should play in the manner you prefer, but not automating anything at all? That *is* different.
