    Thermal Expansion 3.0!!! No More Beta! Thanks KL!

    For those wondering why factories ceased production with b9e, you might have power loops. Known issue worked into the next release.

    Java 7 no good?

    You might as well hang a sign on your PC that says "please have your way with me". Java 6 was retired almost a year ago and is riddled with exploitable code.

    Boarding track - Am I missing something??

    Shot in the dark, but Advanced Rails are crafted in the rolling machine, not a crafting table.

    is there a config to speed up coke oven processes?

    In general, with machines that do not provide immediate output, the solution is to build more and build early. It's not uncommon to have multiple coke ovens / blast furnaces to increase your rate of production.

    Direwolf 20: 1.6.4 {PUBLIC BETA} Crash issues

    Ack, don't create a new user. Go back to your main account and make sure you do a clean FTB install: Save your "saves" folder somewhere. Delete the FTB folder (where you have it set to e.g. F:\games\FTB) Delete the ftblauncher folder in /Users/<you>/AppData/Roaming/ftblauncher Redownload FTB...

    FTB Horizons - General Feedback Thread

    Having a blast with this pack - inclusion of several new favs like Blood Magic, Witchery, Engineer's TB, JABBA mixed with some ones I haven't used in a while (Metallurgy, Pam's, Rotary) plus a handful I haven't used at all is the only thing that's pulled me away from Starbound for more than 2...

    Thermal Expansion 3.0!!! No More Beta! Thanks KL!

    I have been launching florbs of blood in the autonomous activator for about an hour now, turning my landscape into a sea of madness. Thank you, KL. I haven't laughed maniacally this much in a long time.

    Universal Electricity vs IC2 pros & cons

    Regardless of your position, the "penalty" argument in either direction is as old as game theory. You can still find thousands of pages related to the early development of WoW and how the lack of a real death penalty (see EQ circa 1999) was either: Great! It saved the tedium and pain of...

    Universal Electricity vs IC2 pros & cons

    The explosion mechanics need to remain intact if for no other reason than the glorious schadenfreude I experience every time I see someone rage about blowing themselves up. It's like the Darwin awards for modded Minecraft. *ducks*

    Thermal Expansion 3.0!!! No More Beta! Thanks KL!

    This, essentially. Such a great and often overlooked space sim. For someone who played the original Elite on his C64 as a kid, this series ranks as one of my all-time favs. The only warning I'd offer is: Sharp (Learning) Curve Ahead. If you spend the time, however, the rewards are vast.

    Forum update 7/11/13

    Mine eyes! They burn! :eek: A billion internets for the charcoal gray / orange theme to make a re-appearance. I feel horrible now for being "that redundant end-user" so a sincere thanks for the tireless and under-appreciated work running the forum.

    1.6.4 Liquid Fuel Boiler fuel changes.

    Sure, CJ could nerf the value of charcoal in the boiler as well. To what end? Expanding a tree farm to handle the burn rate is a trivial exercise, and then you have the issue of diminishing the intended efficiency of a boiler over a standard engine setup. The problem with looking at liquid in...

    1.6.4 Liquid Fuel Boiler fuel changes.

    Well that's simple .. I enjoy Forestry (which you clearly don't). The power isn't necessarily a means to an end. If it is for you, by all means, make and burn charcoal by any number of numerous methods possible. But in that case, it wouldn't exactly make sense to complain about Ethanol. As for...

    1.6.4 Liquid Fuel Boiler fuel changes.

    What an interesting discussion. Here's what we know: 1. People will overreact to changes, despite evidence that the changes make for better gameplay (seen in every game patch discussion since the beginning of ... message boards). 2. The "Ethanol closed loop" compared to "Charcoal closed...

    Greg Tech opinion discussions go here

    Sure, I agree with you. As I've said elsewhere, the choice for me to remove it is simplified by my background. People who know that Greg wasn't really out to harm them can fairly easily give him a pass and continue enjoying his content. This is why I'm not raising hell in Slow's thread about...

    Greg Tech opinion discussions go here

    I hate to be the pedant, but the scenario precisely fits the definition accepted within the security community. Disclaimer: CISSP, etc. (I do this stuff for a living.) You are correct that it is has implications to security, but you are missing the part where causing the availability of a...

    New Mod Packs ***Released***

    This is a really solid decision (on several levels) for the 1.5 limbo; plenty of fun to be had leading up to 1.6 regardless of your preferences. Also, Biomes. Double opt-in is good if there are multiple pre-configured options (I currently use Highlands) - perhaps that is on the horizon? Much...
