    GregTech

    There are goods and bads with GregsTech and a lot of things I would consider personal oppinion. There are some things that people get wrong about GregsTech. 1. GregsTech does not make things a lot more difficult. Even in 1.4.5 where you need not only a centrifuge but also a Blastfurnace for...

    QuickTips #1: IC2 Energy - will it blow?

    The problem is that transformers only output 4 Pakets per Tick, so if you want to run a LV-Line with high traffic (like 512 EU/t) through a transformer you will only output 128 EU/t, since the transformer seems to be able to only handle that much. But well... you can easily split the line...

    Quarry running too slow in my opinion.

    Well it basically is the other side of the same medal. Thats one of the reason why I like Gregs and factorization. Instead of further overpowering machines that are already strong enough they did a different approach. Even if Factorization can triple your output it is far more costly and...

    RedPower news, and thaumcraft

    Well at the night (it might be evening for the US though) that slow told us that donations might be not a bad idea the people that announced their donations in the chat were primarly people that would not care if she used the donations to get some time off to relax. We spekulated about her...

    Quarry running too slow in my opinion.

    Well the energy-consumption of a quarry is way too low. Even with a 10 times higher consumption it would be pretty easy to run a quarry on a decent speed.

    Getting Magma Cream

    Just build another Blast-Furnace?

    List of Mods to remove from FTB

    Also note that most chunk-loaders primarly kick in if the people aren't around and often not even online, so Chunkloaders normally are not needed if a lot of people are only, since they often load the chunks anyways) and they are pretty limited with 3x3 chunks. Although it might be a good idea...

    Red Power 2 News

    Actually they predicted the spanish conquerers and figured out that there calender ending in 2012 is not a bad thing since they do not need it anymore anyways.

    Will all the mods currently in forgecraft be in the Ultimate pack?

    Well Titanium is not as hard to get. You need a BlastFurnace anyway, and if you have the BlastFurnace with StandardCasing you only need 72 Refined Iron and 54 Steel to make it able to process most materials (except tungsten). Gregs might be in the Technic-Pack. I think DW mentioned that he...

    forestry tree farm+ wrath lamp = bug

    This, also trees seem to not grow with the invisible-blocks around. But I haven't tried them with newer versions for this.

    How do you use the sawmill

    The question is which sawmill. The Thermal Expansion Windmill is pretty easy to use. Just supply it with Buildcraft-Energy (the machines that produce them normally have "Engine" in their name and all look pretty similar. If you mean the GregsTech-Sawmill (which is not in the Modpack yet) You...

    Gregs-Config-Change 1.4.5

    The problem at this point is that with the setting set to true, the machines seem to be buggy. Although he added a marker to inform people that the machine needs more energy, which somehow renders my suggestion about the config a bit obsolete.

    How do I use a lightning rod properly

    I also think the Transformer which is right in front of you is pointing at the wrong direction, the 3-dotted side should point towards the rod or boom. Also yes, you need iron-fences.

    Thermal Expansion Ore Gen

    IC2 should have one with 1.110 too. I think one of them will be used for the FTB-Pack, but I'm also still investigating how it works.

    GregTech vs. EE (My argument *against* the addition of EE)

    Gregs exspecially has a lot of setup-time. If you have set everything up it works as fast as normal. The problem with Gregs basically is that there are too easy ways to achieve things in FTB like the mentioned turtles or TE. The Macerator-Recipe was also reverted because it makes no sense if you...

    Gregs-Config-Change 1.4.5

    ConstantEnergyMachine=true -> false This option makes the GregsTech machines require maximum energy-input for a whole process. If they get less for a tick the process will reset and start over again. If you supply a machine like a blastfurnace with just 20 EU/t the progress-bar will just...

    Jepp, Deserts and a range of Extra Biomes (Mountain Desert I know), also Sapphires only appear in ocean-biomes.

    GregTech's changes and Ore Gen

    Actually it was my suggestion, to make config-presets that could be enabled as certain difficulties, reaching from Beginner over normal to hardcore, and of course custom to use for manual configuration. FTB will use a configurable Ore-Spawn. This would be either TE or IC2 since both mods have...

    Gregtech recipes = ridiculous?

    That is not related to Gregs. Actually Gregs has a nice return once you set it up. The Centrifuge, the Electrolyzer and the Grinder are able to create a lot of ressources if you have enough EU. And well Gregs also makes the Nuclear-Generator more interesting since it adds ways to use all the...
