    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    If you need the menu for the waypoints, it's keyed to 'M', but you need to remove all other hotkeys from that button (there's two I think, "mode" and a locomotive one).

    Soo... Why exactly is it impossible to automate a Steam Turbine?

    Honestly, I love CovertJaguars methodology and wish the rest of the mods would slide a bit towards that rather than Railcraft sliding towards them.

    Vanilla hopper. It doesn't seem to take the input when attached to the side. EDIT: Found what I did wrong on the MCF thread, apparently you need to have a lava tank at the same level as the controller.

    I want to put a hopper to a TiC smeltery input. The smeltery is two levels high, but when I put the controller on top it won't recognize it. Ideas?

    Would 16GB of RAM help?

    Well, as others have said, you can try disabling optifine, that may very well get you better FPS. When it comes to settings, try setting advanced opengl to fast or fancy chunk loading to smooth instead of multicore (that helped for me), "graphics" to fast but changing all individual graphics to...

    Would 16GB of RAM help?

    Quite a lot can be gained by fiddling around with settings and trying different things. From what I've heard, different computers like different settings. Also consider Optifine if you haven't already. It's really hit or miss, for some people it increases performance - for others it drops it...

    Alternative treecapitator?

    Yeah, of course. It depends on how early is meant with "early game"; there's quite a lot of things you might want to do with your first stack of iron! Granted, lumber axe and excavator are pretty high on the list if one doesn't use DartCraft.

    Alternative treecapitator?

    Nowadays the heavy tools require a tool forge which costs 36 iron.

    Soo... Why exactly is it impossible to automate a Steam Turbine?

    One solution that would be quite railcrafty would be to have a "maintenance cart unit" that is an advanced storage cart, maybe a bit bigger then a regular cart with lots of gears and "arms", able to automatically output/input into railcraft inventories including the steam turbine. Preferably it...

    Efficient ways to transfer power across mods? (noob question)

    ^That was a good summary. Note though that even far before TE rose we had power converters and people using MJ to get EU and vice versa.

    Efficient ways to transfer power across mods? (noob question)

    Huh! So now we have them from three mods? That's weird. xD Though the original BC steam engine has been renamed.

    Efficient ways to transfer power across mods? (noob question)

    Steam Engines are from Railcraft I believe. But yeah, that is the path I'd recommend, because it's FUN! :3

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    Is there any info on bowmaking etc in the new Tinker's Construct? Can't make bow string out of flamestring which seems weird as it's a Natura item.

    Dartcraft, why even?

    I may be missing something because English isn't my main language, but I did not say you might as well play creative?

    Dartcraft, why even?

    Interesting is a point of view. But it doesn't really matter in this context - I might think that Dartcraft is the perfect mod in every way and that post still wouldn't be less relevant. Yes, giving input/criticizing (what you call "complaining) might change or add options in the mod, and if...

    Dartcraft, why even?

    You seem to still be ignoring the "after the first day" part (Also, to nit-pick, creative also takes effort, even if it's less effort it's still there ;P) but I'm not going to do this more since we're both OT and you've ignored a very relevant part of my post for like 3 posts straight now...

    Dartcraft, why even?

    Sure, my question wasn't "is this fun", my question was, "what is the difference between playing EE2 after the first day and playing creative?". The first day I could get, really, the first chase too see how many minutes you can cut out of getting your first 9 diamond blocks, but after that it's...
