This is one of the most well done mods I have used. I recommend it over IC2.
Mekanism: Feature Request Thread
- Thread starter Aidan
- Start date
Good call on the Robit.
I like that the Digital Miner required me to setup a Mekanism Workshop to build. I already used a few machines for odd jobs, but awkward to get to. So while the recipe was quite involved for the miner, the fact I had to interact with other machines for components didn't make it feel like a grind. On a bonus, I didn't know the ratio of diamond dust to crushed obsidian for the obsidian ingots, so overmade them, but had exactly enough left over for some Obsidian armour, which was another project on my to do list!
One thing I think needs changing is the recipe for the circuit. 2 pieces of redstone around an alloy is a bit "low tech" in the crafting. I think some sort of machine is required for the crafting of advanced precision components such as circuits.

Seconded, it's a bit overwhelming. It wasn't like this in 1.5.2 where around 1 in 5 zombies wore some form of armour, now it's like 4 out of 5.
Our server plays with Zombie Awareness so big zombie hordes, most of which won't die in the sun due to having a helm. While I like the variation in the mobs, it should really equal vanilla chances.
I'm watching. I remember you as the man who made the inadvertently hilarious video about Ender IO's item conduits. You had a cold, and I couldn't get rid of a mental image of either Christian Bale's Batman, or the old hard rock singer Meat Loaf, during the entire time I was watching it. Fantastic stuff.
you can ask him to make it a config on git hub or irc. https://github.com/aidancbrady/Mekanism/issues?state=open
In short:
- Several early-mid game gear options have been added that act similar to IC2 items, such as the Jetpack and Scuba Tank/Gas Mask.
- A "quarry" has been added in the form of the Digital Miner. While drastically more expensive than a quarry and much more complicated, the DM can mine without harming the environment and can select what it mines.
- An ore quadrupling system is being created. It is balanced, however, by being insanely expensive to upkeep.
- Mekanism has largely dropped UE, and is now a primarily RF mod.
- Universal cables are now tiered.
- Several models have been reworked, including energy cubes and liquid pipes.
- General nerfs to various areas.
- The Logistical Sorter and Logistical Transporters were added. While the pipes act like RP2 tubes, the Logistical Sorter is possibly the most powerful sorting machine to ever exist in modded Minecraft, easily topping RP2's abilities. It features round-robin mode, color sorting, oredict support, automatic mode, item-by-item stack sizes and more. It has a bit of a learning curve but a lot of documentation from Aiden himself in the form of videos.
- All machines can now autoeject into inventories or pipes, as well as having a TE-style side configuration interface. They can also be configured to only accept items painted (sorter) certain colors and automatically paint items coming out.
It's a dev build I think. I'm using RR's bleeding-edge branch atm.
You forgot innumerable bug fixes
Incredible increases in performance ( server wise)
A config option that makes everything display in rf instead of j
Is called energytype it's in the general section.I didn't know that! This knowledge will sure come in handy for me.
I believe it is only in the 6.0 Dev branch. If you ask aiden on irc he could push that into the master branch.Was it in 5.7? 'cause I sure didn't see that in v5.6's config. I might be blind though.
I forgot the cardboard box (think dislocation focus) you place it on a block (even tile entities) break it and get the cardboard box. You can then leave it some where else take off the box and it has the block that you placed it on inside
Is it possible yet to use a digital miner as an impromptu tree farm? I tried a while back, but I could never get it to work properly. I mostly ask because I love building weird things, lol.
