    Lightning rod + Charged not working?

    Lightning rods have literally *nothing* to do with lightning. They should be called "storm-based random EU generators". They randomly generate EU when it's raining.

    FTB Ultimate 1.4.7 [Gregtech] Magic Absorber

    Not really. Vis is a finite resource, except for crystal clusters which generate very small amounts (1 vis every 5 minutes).

    Where is the line between contraption and exploit?

    I can't imagine anyone is as sociopathic as you are portraying yourself.

    Factorisation Exosuits vs. Immbis' Powersuits

    The problem with potato armor is that it doesn't fare well against a ricer.

    Redpower 2 future in FTB?

    It's a bit premature to be crying about how the sky is falling. As it stands right now, 32 mods still need updating.

    The "Balance" Standard

    Because it's a sandbox game. Would you say Lego bricks are overpowered? Could you even imagine a Lego brick that could be considered overpowered?

    Computer Craft recipes, overpowered?

    Haskell programmer detected. Avoid. Avoid. Avoid.

    Computer Craft recipes, overpowered?

    A lot of people (myself included) don't like exceptions. I'll quote Go's designers on this: GCC's coding standards disallow exceptions. The Linux kernel is in C, so exceptions don't exist. LibPNG uses setjmp for critical error handling. The current Linux kernel has over 100,000 instances...

    Computer Craft recipes, overpowered?

    One of these days GT is going to modify the recipes of a mod, and the mod maker is going to fight back with reflection to modify GT's altered recipes, thus setting off an arms race that will destroy FTB and lag us to hell (GT's reflection code is already laggy as shit). This is one of the...

    What Items Do You Think Players Under-Use?

    "Underused" simply because it's new to the ultimate pack, the Universal Charger from Power Converters is amazing. It works as both a charge pad (stand on it and recharge your armor and tools), and a remote recharging system. Put an ender chest next to it, and it will automatically recharge...

    Where is the line between contraption and exploit?

    It doesn't cheat.. people cheat. In fact it doesn't do anything, it's just a framework, it's up to the bot programmer to actually make it do stuff, and programmer *could* have it only react to what it can "see", although the math for a raycaster might be beyond most people. And you can build...

    Where is the line between contraption and exploit?

    A couple of years ago I experimented with building a Bot API for minecraft. It would connect to a server just like any other player, and have the same abilities as any other player, except it would be fully program controlled. The reason I didn't get past the proof-of-concept was because it...

    Where is the line between contraption and exploit?

    They are using 1.15.4, which has the fix.

    What Items Do You Think Players Under-Use?

    There's a lot of MFR stuff I'm looking forward to playing around with. So far I only have one complaint, conveyors are a cool idea in theory, but they act too much like water, negating fall damage for mobs for example.

    Where is the line between contraption and exploit?

    This has been patched for nearly a month now. From the TF changelog: "While recrafting at the the uncrafting table, check to see if each enchantment can be applied to the resulting item before transferring it".

    Gregtechs role in the modpacks.

    They already do. What do you think the Forge server is all about? The idea that the mod creators don't do cross-mod integration and balance testing is FUD spread by GT cronies.

    Gregtechs role in the modpacks.

    Which is so strange because he was complaining about diamonds were too rare in the DW20 pack, and was saying that he wished Direwolf had let him buff the diamond spawn rates.

    Gregtechs role in the modpacks.

    He can make it not burn at all.

    Gregtechs role in the modpacks.

    This is definitely a case where I think greg is a dick. The proper response to people burning scaffolds for cheap power is to prevent scaffolds from burning, not to nerf the recipe to the point where scaffolds no longer serve a purpose.

    Gregtechs role in the modpacks.

    Makes sense to me, especially since the beta pack had GT on easymode. Personally I play on stock Ultimate, but I'm doing my best to avoid GT and IC2 completely. The closest I've gotten to IC2 is Power Converter's bridge to the Universal Charger to recharge my powersuit. I don't even have an...
