I wouldn't mind pollution. Taint was my favorite part of Thaumcraft 2. It'd be nice if advanced tech had drawbacks other than "Requires 9000 metric fucktons of materials".
So rumors are GregT is now an IC2 dev

Yeah.
RIP IN PEACE IC2 - KILLED BY GREGT.
Anyway, I just hope I'll get something like the electric upgrades for TiC tools that runs on MJ and has a portable battery (like the LapPack).
That'd be great, because repair is TOO FUCKING SLOW.
But then Solar Arrays and other renewable power will then be way better than Nuclear reactors if there pollution in place.
This is actually what we're all demanding. Truth be told: people want new IC2 content. The richest vein of that, for better or worse, is Greg.
But TE revolutionized Modded Minecraft and was made to work with Railcraft and Forestry and Buildcraft.
Your move.
Besides, every TE machine is useful for more stuff than its own Tech tree without being intrusive. Does your precious GregTech does that (without being intrusive)?
I THINK NOT.
Interesting fact, you write "MFR" and "Thermal Expansion" but when read aloud it starts to sound dangerously close to "redpower" these days. 1.7 is already in the works. It won't be long before the next big migration.
Well Mj have no other use than running it via a power convertors and/or run a laser drill. IC2 and GT have a lot of varying producers and consumers. Now if there were more industrialized based addons then yea I would probably play more with Mj. (there was a old one that had a MJ fusion reactor that outputted 500 mj/t on heavy water and intake power)
They're not already?
No. What made you think otherwise?
This is why there is no official RR 1.6 already. I'm a busy guy, but not THAT busy. It's hard for me to imagine the ecosystem without at least one of them. I suspect PowerCrystals will release first, and I also suspect he will neither confirm nor promise results in this forum.
Really?
REALLY?
Farms: If a farm doesn't run on fuel (SC2) or doesn't require energy (TC3 golems), they can (and will) run on MJ. Forestry and MFR are the proof. Forestry doesn't EVEN work if it's not MJ.
Ore Processing: It's just too damn easy with TE - IC2 is actually quite complicated to work with when it comes down to making processing plants.
Sorting: Both AE and LP run on MJ (and EU, but they work better with MJ).
Rails: the Rolling Machine runs on MJ.
Mining: Quarries. And Mining Wells. And the Laser.
Bees: Binnie's mods. Nuff' said.
Interaction with other mods: THIS CANNOT BE REPEATED ENOUGH. Tell me, was there any build that you didn't use anything from a mod I mentioned here?
And in consumers, MJ is not a power network you'll be using non-stop. If you need something that won't have a really big input, any machine will be turned on every once in a while. Not always.
But now, to producers:
Total of engines:
-Hobbyist's
-Commercial
-Industrial
-Biogas
-Peat
-Electrical
-Clockwork
-Magmatic
-Steam
-Stirling
-Redstone
-Combustion
-Bio Generator
Types of FUEL (way too freaking important):
-anything that can be used in a furnace
-peat
-lava
-ethanol
-honey
-milk
-biofuel
-biomass
-seed oil
-oil
-fuel
Moreover, when I mean "anything that can be used in a furnace", I mean EVERYTHING.
And none of them are passive.
Show me your point now.
Just another reminder from your friendly neighborhood mods: "Welcome to FTB, we're a friendly place." See also our previous service announcement in this thread:
Thank you for helping us help you help us all.
Note that it says a lot that TE is not on ForgeCraft at this time.
This means that there is absolutely no working development version suitable for even a test environment.
Did anyone forgot that KingLemming was posted something here some time ago about he wasn't going to be able to release TE 1.6 soon?
I mean, honestly. The guy said that this update was going to take longer, not because of changes, but because he was doing something with his life that was going to take some time.
TE isn't gone yet. It's still standing. The problem is that the creator is having trouble with some stuff in his real life now, and therefore he is unable to do anything currently.
He may have only barely started developing 1.6 for TE.
Just wait some time. I think TE will come back soon enough for 1.6. But not now.

And it says even more that I would be willing to stall development of my 1.6 mod pack while waiting for it than moving to IC2 with this nonsense going on.
Your point?
Actually, it says nothing more than you're far too reliant on a single mod. Which isn't saying very much.
Or that a mod which isn't even in development is more viable than IC2 at the moment...
After Lemming releases TE3 he will leave and make TE3 open source so that other people can do stuff to it. (I don't know the proper term)
