My only problem with MFR is... well... it's MFR. I've... had issues with that mod since the Minecraft Version had a 'Beta' in front of it. And nothing it has done lately has changed my mind on that topic.
Solid Boilers after 1.5.1. Wood source?

I feel that there should be non-trivial recurring costs to resource production. That's really my most basic and fundamental problem with MFR, and why I prefer Forestry2 Multiblock Farms.
Supplying fertilizer is the most annoying part of a Forestry farm. If you want a maintenance-free system, MFR is your best choice.
In the end, that depends on what you feel is "Balanced". Balance for my case is not an issue, for I have far more annoying problems to tackle. Having my tree farms up and running 24/7 is crucial, or my entire system goes offline.
Why would a trivial action require a non-trivial cost?
Considering that collecting wood is among the first three things you do in a Minecraft world, I daresay it doesn't get much more trivial than that.
Tubestuff block breakers with enchanted axes of the stream in them.
Redwoods in your way? Five seconds flat, it's gone. And so is the empty space on your 10 terabyte hard drive.
It'll also **** up the aura in your entire world and you'll need hundreds of crystals for each aura node to keep it somewhat balanced, but sometimes you just need to shut down some of your magic-using enemies. And by shut-down, I mean you need to break the map entirely so nobody can use magic.

Time is money. In fact, it is the only true valuable resource in all of Minecraft. So removing this dynamic? Shouldn't be trivial.
to be honest MFR stand up fairly well with that dymanic if it is run by itself. It is when mixed with other mods that the costs get out of line. Like many mods.
The farms are nearly impossable to run full speed if your only useing MFR fertilizer and is in mod production sysetm for that is slow that it requires a crazy amount of anmials to just keep one tree farm running nonstop.
but once you toss other mod ferilizers into the mix yes it becuase silly easy to keep them running all the time with the power use being its only cost.
I don't see how that actually addresses why a trivial action should have a non-trivial cost.
At the point you have Reliquary, and are willing to use it, you can power everything you need power or resource wise with a tome and a source of redstone (witch spawner, bees, IC2 plants, etc)
Precisely.
Of course, back then it was also PC's Power Converters mod with the Water Strainers that produced 2 EU/t off of water that could be piped in. Who needed solar flowers when I simply had water strainer towers producing ridiculous amounts of EU? I'm glad they've finally been removed, I shudder to think how effective they would be with Liquiducts and their higher throughput.
