I would remove that extractor module from your input chest, it's just duplicating the function of the quicksort module (the only real difference is that the extractor can pull from different sides and will pull items into the network without a valid non-default destination). If you replace it...

My best guess is that the new packs are catering to the loudest voices in the recent Gregtech thing, which would be Greg for one pack (Greg approved the pack, but I think a lot of Gregtech fans like a lot of mods that pack doesn't include) and the people after the easiest experience on the...

If you are limited by space, the best thing to do will be to move the water mills closer to the centre cable in your towers. Each mill will generate less, but you'll fit more in and end up producing more EU. I'm not sure if you've fixed it since, but to clarify about the maximum output you want...

For reference, I believe Sengir was using a global variable for the spectacles, which from what I can figure oscillated constantly when multiple players were on because it was trying to turn off for all the players without spectacles and turn on for the player with them at the same time.

To the best of my knowledge they should be collectable, especially given how expensive they can end up being.

A quick note about IC2 power tiers: there are several levels/tiers of IC2 power, often with their own associated machines and energy storage blocks. Supplying power of a higher tier to a lower tier device will blow it up, and using the wrong cable will destroy it (if all machines on the cable...

The distillation tower is awesome because it's a big multiblock structure, but it would be better with proper liquid support and if it were more animated/lively/not just a big chunk of metal (unless that's been added?). I voted no, because while I like Gregtech I like it for very specific...

I'm pretty sure that, except for speed (for which I have no idea) charging is independent of tier, unless IC2 changed it. The tier is important for powering hand tools, however, and I think there was a mention of using RE batts/energy crystals/lapotronic crystals to charge at each tier, although...

The water mill generates more power when more water is adjacent (within a 3x3x3 cube centred on itself), so for maximum power per water mill you want exactly one cable attached and every other block to be water. The FTB wiki depicts a tower design that accomplishes this in a relatively compact...

On the hardware side, I'm wondering if a big texture pack might start to fill up that 1GB memory in your graphics card, rather than the rendering effort bogging down the GPU itself. 8GB should easily be enough RAM, but the graphics memory is separate and fulfils a different role. Didn't...

What happens if you get a pipe to drop one onto you, without opening your inventory in the first place? What if it lands in your hotbar? EDIT: Never mind, just realized that it would despawn before you could pick it up.

Make a bulk transport network using Railcraft, capable of automatically loading and routing full trains to various locations, including collecting resources from quarries and delivering fuel (localized power sources of course), collecting oil and transporting that to a dedicated refinery, and...

But Tinker's tools fit so well with the theme of complicating Minecraft! /whine With respect to the fire charge, unless its changed recently you can just right click on the floor of the portal, using it as a one shot flint and steel. I last used one in 1.4.7 when a creeper switched off my...

I think Railcraft's Rolling Machine is significantly cheaper and capable of doing the same job. The plate bending machine is useful because it overclocks, can be automated with multiple recipes by simply sending it different things/multiprocessing and runs on EU instead of MJ (for EU users)...

I've also run into one of these, as well as creepers on (well, more like in) blue slimes (sorry, no shots of those). Yes, it did show up right outside my house :) By the way, I wasn't aware that creepers could instant kill if you had armor on. I haven't been killed by a creeper for a while...

No problem :) For reference sake, the energy cell is entirely optional and engines will also happily output direct or via pipes/conduits straight into machines if you plan to use the energy as fast as you make it, such as a dedicated quarry engine bank.

Engines don't need to be attached directly to a cell, so with even 1 side free for input you can run a conduit/conductive pipes into the side of the cell and put however many engines you want on the conduit, as long as you set the connections to the appropriate settings.

Dartcraft and GregTech are at opposite ends of the difficulty scale, with vanilla Minecraft in the middle seeking a mainstream level. Offering one or the other, not both or neither misses everything in the middle, as well as all of the other ways to make the game easier or harder that wouldn't...

I'm just going to drop my opinion here in case anyone wants to read it. My thoughts on balance are that different people seek different balances and game content. Some people want the game to be an adversary to conquer, some people want complex, Rube Goldberg processes to marvel at and some...

That is almost certainly the case. Turtle functions are provided by the turtle API, which is neatly packaged into its own module, whereas (at least in ComputerCraft's implementation of Lua) sleep() will be a built in function. The built in functions provide the core functionality of the...
