Absolutely. Tubes and filters. Simple and reliable overflow protection. Any sorting system comes down extracting items from a source and putting them in specific containers (including machines) and properly handling items that aren't designated for a specific container or for which their...

BC pipes were great if you didn't know any better. If you learned RP2 tubes later on, it was a no-brainer which was the superior system both for function and simplicity. Then BC decided that gates would be a neat addition so they did what they always do...ruin the process in the name of...

Ya, I commented on item transport. From Tekkit through FTB, BC's contribution to item transport has always been inferior.

Before TE, IndustrialCraft tended to be favored over BuildCraft for any/all of the following reasons: IndustrialCraft provided useful power tools IndustrialCraft provided useful armor IndustrialCraft offered material (ore) processing IndustrialCraft provided a means to store the energy you...

It doesn't matter. This isn't a situation that's made better by throwing explanations and history at it. The overall quality of the experience with the Monster pack is awful. Period. I'm not interested in rationalizations and excuses.

I'm not misinformed. It doesn't matter how fast the FTB team releases mod packs relative to the major updates to MC. I'm talking about drive to produce a new mod pack iteration for every major MC update at all. That starts at the mod dev level all the way through to the support level on the...

Fun being subjective and all, I'd say there's a growing sentiment that the consequences don't justify the benefits.

Before you spend money trying to upgrade your PC to better handle gameplay + video recording, consider a hardware recording solution instead. I use an AverMedia capture card that eliminates any load on your processor. I have a dedicated drive for saving recorded media to, so I can play any...

I have to disagree. TE's context sensitive machine tabs and expanded tooltips are good, but they're a far cry from providing enough information to make use of everything. I had to google my way to the TE3 home site to find out that the tesseract in TE3 is applicable to all materials. WAILA...

As with what some others have said, I dislike the Monster pack because it's bloated, and because it doesn't feel like there's anything gained for all the bloat. I dislike the fact that it's poorly supported via the wiki and googling blocks to find out which mod pack they're part of and what...

Yes, texture pack can change the vanilla font. There's a setting somewhere regarding the font, but you'll have to dig through the options to find it because I don't remember where exactly it is.

I guess at this point I'm just wondering why we're singling out mod devs as apt candidates for the kind of treatment you're discussing. The internet is the internet and everyone has to deal with the rudey-poohs and morons. The thing is, they're not going away. And if you read a bit here and...

I'm curious as to what constitutes treating a mod dev like they're charging for their mod. Right now there's a very vague discussion going on that doesn't really do justice to any particular topic.

I find the sun to be setting on a lot of modded Minecraft series. I used to watch a fairly wide variety of content but it all starts to seem forced after a while. I watch a video from someone who is supposed to be focusing on tech mods and they spend 20 minutes picking flowers to make their...

All the builds, all the contraptions. If we don't break the client before the end of the season we did something wrong. Better Than A Let's Play season 2 is here!

I think what I have to say is related to thank yous, or at least sufficiently related to the topic of thank yous that it has a place here. If not, it'll disappear and I'll know. Having said that, I refer often to the vocal minority with regard specifically to the negativity they project. This...

I think you were on the right track about wanting him to get more out of the experience, but surviving as a target on the internet is maybe more of an advanced lesson ;D Whether you're the chief operator of an internet server, game developer, youtuber, or celebrity, you get confronted regularly...

Nope. Diamonds are generated on a per chunk basis. A single sample consists of a count of how many diamonds are in a single chunk. You're proposing a ratio... diamonds:total blocks per eligible chunk area which is completely meaningless because there are other factors that can alter the...

The challenge that I have with theorycrafting discussions like this is that 90% of the disagreement stems from the method used to obtain the information. And then in order to pinpoint exactly what is going on, it turns into a spreadsheet instead of a game. I remember a point in my current...

It's neither significant nor valid because you're not sampling blocks or diamonds, you're sampling chunks. Which means you're taking 64 samples and trying to claim it's significant relative to the statistical convention of 1000 samples. This isn't subject to negotiation. Your sample sizes...
