You've just copied Etho, badly...

EDIT:

Let's give some constructive criticism instead:

Raise the ceiling, it doesn't lend to the feel.. It makes it cramped.
Drop cables etc a block lower to cover them, chisel doesn't play nice with multiparts(wish it did though)
Get a plan to your machines, at the ,moment they're just sort of placed everywhere, machines in the floor covered by glass can look good and make things look cleaner

I find the basic crescent and the precision sledge are really all I ever need.
In this pack I've decided to go with IC2 armour, since I'm a fan of it since 1.4.7. Unfortunately IC2 machines suck to take apart, etc. I already have 5 TiCo tools, a wand, etc. So keeping clutter to a minimum in my inventory is a must.

A Force Wrench, again, does more then a Omni-Wrench. Also you have fluxed tools, but use a normal wrench instead of a battle wrench? Shame on you!

If you are already going for IC2 armour, then you really ought to install GraviSuite and get the upgraded tools too such as the drill which lets you forget the TiCo picks, shovels, hammers and excavators.

The problem with the pick is that geostrata rocks mine real fucking slow. We'll see how well the iridium drill does in comparison though.[DOUBLEPOST=1403917460][/DOUBLEPOST]I replace shovel/pick with drill, (should) carry an axe in my inventory. Apparently lumber axes can't double as regular axes unless I'm missing something.

Hammer/Excavator, nothing can really beat the precise mining you can do. Especially for somebody who's base is mostly underground. Easier to get than the TC options, and with power upgrades you can go forever.

As for saving on bag space, now I have an enderpouch, which enderchest component is attached to an import bus. I don't really need the inventory space, but an unkempt, unorganized inventory space pisses me off for some reason.

If I had a pickaxe and a hammer, a shovel and a excavator, a hatchet and a lumber axe, and a sword and a wrench... I'd be really pissed at myself. I have DartCraft. Pick and hammer? One pick, problem solved. One shovel, works like a excavator, like how the pick is also a hammer(aka really bloody slow but clears a 3x3x3 radius near where you hit, but not anything harder then what I hit)), one axe, but I need to upgrade it to cut down whole trees. And the wrench and sword? Well, I could use a battle wrench... or just use a force wrench and be okay with having a sword as well.

The Gravisuite Advanced Diamond drill with Efficiency 5 instant mines all the geostrata rocks. There are no issues there. Not tried the Iridium Drill tbh. as its functions are far below the Advanced Diamond Drills

I replace shovel/pick with drill, (should) carry an axe in my inventory. Apparently lumber axes can't double as regular axes unless I'm missing something.

I carry the Advanced Chain saw also from Gravisuite most of the time. It doesn't autofell trees, but I extremely rarely fell down trees tbh(have an axe in my enderpouch for that, but almost never used it). But it serves fine for breaking any wooden building parts, silk touching vines and grass etc. and shearing sheap. And actually deals decent damage if used as a weapon.

Hammer/Excavator, nothing can really beat the precise mining you can do. Especially for somebody who's base is mostly underground. Easier to get than the TC options, and with power upgrades you can go forever.
The Advanced Diamond drill from Gravisuite has the "Big holes" mode(in addition to Normal, Low Power and Fine) which is basically a suped up hammer and excavator combined together mining both rocks and dirts in a 3x3 pattern depending on the face you point on. The drill also allows you to place torches by simply by rightclick with the drill on the wall as long as you have torches anywhere in the inventory. You can power the drill off lappacks(storing and supplying up to 30million EU) in your inventory(no need to equip) and with clever use of enderpouches or a Player Interface exchange and recharge them to keep going for ever.
So yeah, got the Hammer/Excavators beat by miles IMO.

So that's where my advanced nanochestplate went. FFS. Gravisuite....
Yeah for some odd reason Gravisuite didn't make it into Monster, like it was in its predecessors. It is dead easy to install though, just drop it in. Works like a charm as far as I have encountered.

I am not a fan of having to turn the gravichestplate on and off. The quantum bodysuit doesn't continually drain with the engines on right? Similar to the advanced nano?[DOUBLEPOST=1403925611][/DOUBLEPOST]No flight unless you have sigil of air, which is derpy for building.

Sigil of Air and Sigil of the Phantom Bridge is useful for building. Plus, you are completely invulnerable* with Bound Armor
*-Provided you set it up right

Ehm Gravisuite drains constantly yeah when toggled on which is a bit of a pain. Therefore I only use it for special jobs where I need creative flight or complete invulnerability.

The Quantum Chest plate(normal IC2) does not drain energy in normal jetpack mode, but will continuously drain if in slowfall mode(which is very slow falling).

Personally I am wearing the Advanced NanoChestPlate for everyday jobs as it is quick, easy and simple transport. And if you are wearing the other 3 Quantum bits along with it, you are pretty much still invulnerable due to the 9.5 armour points(I have thrown a Protection Enchant on it just to be absolutely sure :p).
Got my GraviChestplate in my tool enderpouch ready if I need it for a special job.

But remember that you can extend your "range" of both GraviChest and Advanced Nanochest by carrying either Advanced Lappack(3million) or Ultimate lappack(30million) in your inventory and having them set to "Power supply" mode. Any flight, tool usage or damage to chest will then be taken from this/these lappack(s) first before you start draining your chest armour.
