After reading your reply, I've got just four words for you.
P.S:
Was it compcraft lua? Is it shareable?The stuff I wrote before midnight GMT is shareable. The stuff afterwards is an abomination.After reading your reply, I've got just four words for you.
P.S:
It is computercraft Lua. I am trying to finish up some programs before I release a world download of my Arendelle World.
I have been doing code cleanup and adding some new features to some APIs that I am writing to make the whole job easier. One feature I am particularly proud of is a way of using the arrow keys to navigate through a menu. Its not quite finished and it isn't fully documented, but you can have a look if you want. (The first three functions are pretty much finished, although they rely on a couple of other functions that I am still tweaking. Functions that are still being tweaked will have a --tweak comment next to them).
http://pastebin.com/kGTK5vBL
Here is a little example script I wrote to test it out. The api is stored in a file called terminal, make sure you do the same so it works properly.
I like to do Princess themes for my test programs.
If there are too many options to fit in at once the program splits all the options up into pages which are fully navigable. constructSelectionPart also takes an optional third argument. If left blank and that selection part is selected by dPadMenu then it will return whatever is in the second argument. However, you can customize the return using the third argument. So if you edited the Charlotte option like this
selecting Charlotte will print everyone is a beautiful Princess instead of Charlotte is a beautiful Princess. This has many more useful applications and I am going to implement it into several of my programs soon.
It may not be the most efficient implementation of this idea, but it works well enough. However, I have since tried making a similar function that uses mouse clicks to select many options at once. The only reason it is not on fire is because I can't afford to replace my computer.
Anyway, like I said I plan on sharing this properly soon, so I don't mind people looking at the stuff that works in advance. Obviously I wouldn't stop you from using it either, although I can't guarantee it will work flawlessly.

Have to agree, I personally find ore generation too generous by default. There's actually no need to multiply your ores via whatever process. So has an experiment, my personal pack on my server is running with 4x less ores (roughly) and various other tweaks to make resources more scarce.
It's been quite enjoyable so far. Everything you do has to be carefully planned to avoid waste, and building anything at all is a bigger sense of achievement.
It's also putting less "emphasis" on automated mining, with players focusing on other options within the pack to gather resources.
So, in a nutshell, it's not always the mod that looks OP, but the world generation.

Other mods that add tools should just go ahead and copy some of Tinker's more useful features so we dont always have to make the same tools every time we play. Specifically the Hammer, thats pretty much the only tico tool I have been spoiled by and cant give up.
They cant have rhe same name unless the mod authors are being weird... The format is Mod:Item/block So, IC2:Tin is seperate from TE3:Tin
My interpretation... With a little rework this could be a Haiku:
At a loss for words
This is my entire mind
Just this... all of it.
Apologies to ThatOneSlowking
If the pack has been properly constructed the two Tins, in this case, are linked in the ore dictionary.

Wow
Much thread
Such derail
Very return
Thanks!

Thanks!
Did I just participate in a thread derailment? Failed I have. Into exile, I must go Everytime I see someone that is staff of the FTB Team im thinking "did I derail a thread to much?"
Or
"Did I put something stupid and rule breaking in my post?"
Actually, this information is outdated. As of... probably 1.5.5.5, the redstone modifier gives more and more speed depending on the amount of times you use it, so the maximum speed a Cobalt+Paper+Thaumium pickaxe with two extra modifiers could get is 60. You'd get a speed above that 39 with five full haste modifiers. AND there's also how you can add a third modifier, by using a block of diamond and a Notch apple, bringing that first pickaxe to 71 speed (gasp).
Now if only Thaumic Integration was out so I could have that void touch modifier

Just a quick note, those undocumented changes were added in v1.5.5, not v1.5.5.5.
