    So this whole Gregtech thing.

    I would definitely play a mod that added giant mechanical pink chickens! Since there isn't one, maybe I could create that myself. (But if greg turns my chickens blue or changes the recipe for them so that everyone who plays our mods at the same time in a pack has to use 13 iridium plates to...

    My frist sandstone creation.

    Cool build. Did you build it in creative, or did you really kill withers for all of the beacons? It looks like you have one set in each floor.

    So this whole Gregtech thing.

    I agree that the metaphor isn't great. My point is that GT changes aspects of other mods. I assume that he does it with a "better to ask for forgiveness than permission" mentality (or else modders wouldn't have to ask him to stop making those changes) instead of checking with them first to see...

    So this whole Gregtech thing.

    I doubt the problem is the mods that GT depends on so much as the ones he nerfs. If I developed a mod and someone else's mod nerfed my mod I'd feel mad. Sort of like someone else changing the oil in my car without my permission after I'd just done it, simply because they thought I needed a...

    So this whole Gregtech thing.

    Mark Twain once said "any library is a good library that does not contain a volume by Jane Austen. Even if it contains no other book." Thats pretty much how I feel about Gregtech. In my opinion any modpack that doesn't contain Gregtech is good. Even if it has no other mods. Twain even said...

    A brief analysis of what makes popular games fun

    The other day I was thinking about games that have been played for generations. I decided to put some thought into what I think makes some of the most popular games (both computer and board) fun, for a wide variety of people to play, over and over, for up to ~80 years in some cases. I wanted...

    Thaumcraft 4: More "fun" than fun?

    I am playing on 1.6. I sort of created my own mod pack with the vanilla launcher. I'm going to have to try the config changes. That didn't make gregtech much more pleasant for me so I'm not optimistic.

    Thaumcraft 4: More "fun" than fun?

    I'm playing a modded version of vanilla MC that pretty much just has Thaumcraft 4, Mo' Creatures and Biomes o Plenty, plus a few other little mods like NEI and Inventory tweaks. It's my first time playing with Thaum 4, and my experience is that its a real grind. I can hardly research anything...

    So much work wasted...

    Sounds like good fortune to me. it's always handy to have one of each type of portal gun around.

    What do you consider to be a good spawn?

    I like to spawn in a place where I can easily get a variety of resources without running for a long ways. I prefer to be near an intersection of desert, forest, river and plains.

    Do You Ever Cheat?

    I've been known to cheat in a new jetpack in order to recover my stuff (that I created properly) when I die. Once I get my old stuff I get rid of the cheated pack. It's usually in the nether. (Fricken firebats). One world I cheated in some chicken eggs to spawn some chickens afterI flew...

    Why no new launcher.

    I think Feed the Beast is pretty good for a free product. I know that I wouldn't personally invest the time it requires unless I was getting paid, and I wouldn't put up with the criticism about my efforts unless I was getting paid well. If those of you who are so disappointed want something...

    Starting new

    I watch some spotlights on the mod and get excited about it. And I never pick a wimpy mod to focus on. I like to have each map have a different emphasis so I make sure that the mod I do the most with is robust enough to keep me entertained without feeling like I'm lacking. If a mod is...

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    That might be it. I dont have a chunk loader at the pump. Duh. Thanks.

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    Thanks. I tried breaking them with a pick and resetting them and it didn't work. I even tried getting all new tesseracts through nei and they aren't working either.

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    Can anyone tell me why my liquid tesseracts wont transfer liquid? They're about 565 blocks apart. Everything looks the same to me. The one connected to the iron tank is set to receive only, and the one on the pump is set t send only. They're both on frequency 1. Both redstones requirements...

    Too many Diamonds in Unleashed

    I'm going to start a thread about how many extra trees there are. It makes it WAY to easy to build chests and crafting benches if you ask me. I think each biome should be limited to one tree. 2 in jungles. And dont tell me I dont have to cut down trees either. I like cutting down trees...

    Too many Diamonds in Unleashed

    I don't think that the only interpretation of suggesting destroying your extra diamonds like I did is that it's insulting. If I were trying to insult you I would have said "stop mining so much for stuff you don't want you moron". It's not the devs fault you have such a limited imagination and...

    Too many Diamonds in Unleashed

    No one is being "offensive" by offering their advice for using the surplus of resources that you can get when you choose to play a modded game. They're attempting to be kind and helpful.
