Had an idea, dunno if its been suggested but here goes: Spring powered minecarts. Place a coil winder and maybe a 2x steel gear in a minecart, and you can place a spring in its interface to make it go. It would also be nice if it had an on/off switch, and maybe a speed setting. There could also...

Also, is there a way to convert lumens into shaft power? Even if only for certain types. (Or maybe requiring a combination of all types?)

You said that you dont like the idea of a book, what about using a cheaper and simpler version of that player infusion thing that, instead of infusing powers into the player, simply displays info? Or maybe something similar to a multi-block projector structure? This might require a block found...

I also have over a stack of heads from a massacre after killing the ender dragon. I used a Rotarycraft bedrock sword to get them, though.

Vaccuum + bedrock axe + autonomous activators Bonus points if you work a bedrock scythe into the mix, and also find a use for all the drops.

And then, after making it a bustling center of commerce and populace, will you begin trapping and sacrificing its inhabitants to dark gods for the power to eventually overthrow them, and become the dark god yourself? Just an idea...

Oh, well, Gry's post kinda sparked an idea in my head, and your post brought that idea to fruition. Even if I did go a little too far, apparently. :P And yes, I tend to have the philosophy that the universe exists simply because it does, which tends to lead to some of the colder, more robotic...

Needs moar candles. And walls. And maybe something insane and evil and foreboding, just because.

This is very interesting to me, and I indeed never have studied fun and really never gave it much thought. I now realize that you are right in saying that fun is, in fact, measurable, and therefore objective, even if there are nearly infinite variations in brains and forms possible in the...

I guess. I don't really see much point for balance to exist as a separate thing from fun, though. Without fun, balance serves no purpose in game design. It's simply a statement of 'x is [less/greater] than y'.

Yet I'm sure there is a kid out there somewhere who loves slaying monsters in a creative-like way who would disagree with you, and think that 3 iron for 50 damage is perfectly balanced for his playstyle, and never liked spending 3 iron for 3 damage. And would his/her opinion be wrong? Is he/she...

My point on "Balance and grindy are subjective, not objective" displayed in timely and beautiful grandeur.

On this point, people also say 'balance' as if it means something. Both are subjective, yet so often people seem to assume or at least word things like they assume that both of these are objective.

I reccomend using two hydrokinetic engines chained together, with an automated canola farm outputting to a decent number of grinders. (I'd say 16-32, though that would probably be overkill if you don't plan on making more) Use a shaft junction to split the power of the two, with one of the...

Also,

First off, I just want to say that not all vegetarians/vegans are so because they thing meat eating is wrong. I personally don't see it as immoral, and do it mainly because I've heard that, compared to diets that include meat, a diet primarily made of or entirely made of plants is usually better...

They're supposed to, last I heard eldritch guardians spawning before you have a lot of warp was a bug. Apparently they currently spawn in any magical biome like normal mobs.

The steam is necessary for turning the gears. The gears are necessary because gears. Gears do everything. EVERYTHING. Gearrrrrsssss... He meant nether quartz.

Why is this, by the way?

Well, my initial explanation when I first thought of that was to use some kind of extremely rapid compression of the steam to make some kind of pressure explosion, similar to the mantis shrimp's explosively-collapsing bubbles, but I figured that "Because gears" would probably be a better...
