Tech World 2 Not Enough Tech

Mekanism and UE are parting ways.

Resonant Induction is back with Calv, so no longer part of Mekanism.


UE is undergoing massive rewrite, as a result I've found all the latest versions are incomplete. I mainly use it for the turrets from ICBM (which now is all merged into one mod, not 3) but they are not craftable and don't work if creatively spawned in. Sticking with UE2.

Mekanism is going to be using RF in the future. It's the current popular and stable power system, so worth embracing. I think once it is using RF, we will be seeing it in FTB packs in the future. It works really well hand in hand with TE.


As to the digital miner, LOVE IT! Quarries are so last year...

I prefer the scalpal to the hammer as well. Also fun for renovating my buildings using the replace feature.

Did I just read you right, the Mekminer can be used like the wand of equal trade? That sounds interesting.

yup, you'll need to configure it so it searches for the block you want to replace, and you'll need to provide the recplacement block aswell.
though you can only use 1 block replacement every time, or you'll have to reconfigure the digital miner everytime

Ok, well it might be useful periodically. I haven't used any automining for ages because I have spent most of my play time in creative but I think I will give the digital miner a go soon. I need something that won't destroy the land scape.

then the digital miner is the perfect choice. configure it so it searches for the ores/blocks you want, and have them replaced with a filling block of your choice.
it'd be awesome if the digital miner could also detect air blocks and liquids, so you could even use the digital miner to fill up any caves underground
