Meh. I mostly play on a private server with a buddy or two, so there isn't anyone else to add to the lag.

When you break a block it flies off in a random direction so that it's easier for you to lose it in lava, or deep water, or wherever. Wouldn't it be easier to just go towards the player? Or if broken by a machine just drop calmly rather than spazz around like crazy?
You only need one harvester for sugarcane. If you put it on the same level as the bottom block (or probably higher; I haven't tested), it'll harvest both the middle and upper sugarcane blocks.
The only time you need two harvesters on the same farm plot is if it's a tree farm and you want some of the leaves sheared, and others chopped for saplings.
Agreed. While this doesn't solve the general case, items dropped by ExNihilo's Hammers can be picked up instantaneously, which means that if you directly hammer the cobblestone produced by your cobblegen, rather than pickaxe it, place it down again, and then hammer, none of it will burn in the lava if you stand close enough.
The Angel Block does that, if you break it, you buy... I mean, it gets put into your inventory immediately!
Making douchey, antagonistic mechanics shouldnt' be justified by "Well, someone else's mod undoes the damage I did, so it's okay"
Also, people shouldn't be forced to use AE. It's an irritating, grindy mod in itself.
Wow.
I've been using MFR since forever and I never found that out before.
Many thanks!
AE2 Stuff makes AE2 a LOT more tolerable. Granted, its an addon doing what the main mod should've done in the first place, but at least its out there.
AE2 stuff is the one that adds the crystal growth chamber and tidies up the sides on the inscriber.
It's a bit of an odd one, but I kinda like how a mod (AE2) that is literally all about automating everything makes two of its' own processes tricky to automate.
My quartz seed setup is delightful, it would kind of ruin it if it was made easier

True, but if you want the crafting recipes to be harder on purpose, just make the resources harder to get.
Hmm, lava, stone, redstone, iron, coal, sand, gunpowder, and some time.
I think _gunpowder_ is hard to get. Creepers are not easy for me.

Other than a nether star, one unit of anything is easy. 100 units can be easy to very difficult. 1000 units is "automate it".
... and 54,000 units of something for a reactor? ...
That's when you break out the "silk touch mode ON" digital miner, a tesseract, and an extractor. Makes that process a lot simpler.

I can't remember the exact rate, but gunpowder has a very small chance of being consumed per smelt- so you only need a few units to make a decent amount of HSLA.
If you're really struggling; quite a few mods add crafting recipes for gunpowder, likewise dungeon loot or a small darkroom will net enough to get you going.
Mob farm?
I have passive animal farms. You know, where you feed farm animals and slaughter the old adults?
But farms where you abuse minecraft physics to get resources automatically at no work? Nope. Never built one. Had a server rule against them from 125 to 147.
The rule was simple: Ya gotta earn what you use to build.
Moving forward? With RoC assuming an infinite resource harvester that trades power for return speed? ... Yea, gotta change how I treat that stuff.

I think I managed to collect about 40-50 gunpowder.
Friend of mine, much better than me at killing creepers, and loving TNT, got 5 stacks.
This was over many, many months of play.

I think the guy meant automated mob farm, like from MFR, EIO, RFTools, or various others.

Those also take a lot of effort to set up if you want more than a handful of resources.

I do not slaughter, or breed villagers.
I do not create infinite water sources for any industrial purpose - pumps are placed on feasible in-world sources such as large lakes, rivers or oceans, and pump water to my base.
I build farms with sufficient space for the animals to roam, feed and slaughter adults.
I do not use chunkloaders.
I do not create cobble generators.
My trashboxes for uu matter and 'material' for AE2 quantum links is the waste from my quarries and other farming processes.
I do not use mob grinders for any infinite material collection.
This is not an unusual way to play.
