I'd say that BC Engines aren't so much tiered, as intended for different purposes. The Redstone Engine doesn't even produce RF anymore, it's more of a throttleable control module for other mechanism. The Stirling Engine only shines when you are need quick and portable power, like for powering a...

I believe that disabling the Apiarist Pipe works as a temporary fix.

If I recall, there is a character limit, and I hit it.

I, for one, think asie has done a pretty good job picking up the torch after storm that was SpaceToad blew through. Buildcraft is in better hands than it has been for ages, mine included. He has done tons of optimizations, cleaned up massive amounts code, a lot of which was too scary even for me...

Unfortunately, that issue has more to do with how Minecraft handles Minecarts than any of my code. Its generally recommended that you don't build your systems with corners near Locking Tracks.

I have good news for you, I've just in the last few days fixed a TON of those kinds of bugs. One of my users with a server containing a large scale and complex railway system was helpful and patient enough to get me on the server and start pointing out issues he encountered regularly. So expect...

Nope, Poor Ore is all that Railcraft has. It does not generate normal Tin deposits.

I received a few reports that people were having problems progressing due to a lack of tin for gears when Railcraft was the only source of tin. This change mainly just to gauge people's reactions to it and get conversation going. I may end up changing it back eventually, we'll see.

I don't believe that is possible at the moment.

So there is a bit of miscommunication and faulty assumptions floating around. I feel I owe the community a bit of an explanation. I'm going to provide that as a list of points: SpaceToad replaced the API that Railcraft and Forestry were using (PowerHandler API|Second Gen) with an ubercomplex...

Not at the expense of data validity, consistency, compatibility, and JIT Optimizations it isn't.

And Player and cpw have also done plenty of tests that show that 100 Entities take as much cpu, memory, and bandwidth as 100k Tile Entities. So you must also ask if this is even a relevant concern. Remember, we talking a handful of primite value if statements here, not a O(n^2) algorithm. The...

In which case there is no reason for the one sided implementation of the BC API in TE anyway. Because as you just said, "you can use X other mod to perform the conversion". Which I also see as preferable to the current situation.

No, its "Use the mod how you want, just don't crucify me if it doesn't make you breakfast at the same time." That and I dislike the fact that TE is basically forcing you to use TE power generation if you want to use mods side by side. Its not even an option to use BC power to power the machines.

But that's not because of any fault of mine, it because the "other" mod you are using decided to no longer support them.

McDonalds customers don't angrily complain that McDonalds Fries are shit and McDonalds is going to go out of business because Burger King's fries are better, while they are ordering their beloved Nuggets. They just order the Nuggets and thank the cashier. Besides, even if they did, the cashier...

And you've lost me.... I admit the policy might be outdated, API design has come a long way since it was originally implemented. Many of the most significant changes happening in just the last couple of months. But up until about six months ago when the Liquid API was pulled from BC into Forge...

Maybe, but it prevents cyclic dependencies at least, since pretty much every major mod out there has "after:BuildCraft" in the mod requirements.

Because Buildcraft doesn't and has never implemented ANY other mod's API, and I see no reason to start now.
