You know what really pisses me off? It took me about 5 minutes to set the bloody mipmap levels (no, for real) and I WAS ON THE MENU SCREEN! What mipmap levels does the game have to render IN FRONT END?! There were no worlds loaded, I thought I was being clever by doing that, but I guess Minecraft showed me!
At the very least it should be made so that it doesn't perform the expensive calculations when moving the slider, but only once you press the button to save the settings. That way you can still slide the sliders around without dropping to 0 FPS.
It was probably resizing and generating a bunch of texture maps...all the block and item textures.
But yeah not a clever solution ^^
that's on openGL actually. It provides no facility to generate mip maps on another thread so it hangs the main thread.
Things like quartz, netherrack, etc, are quick and easy to come by.
Soul sand, harder.
Nether wart, harder still.
Blaze rods? ... Can be hard to get.

RoC's jet fuel consumes magma creme and blaze powder (plus other stuff), as well as requiring a ghast tear as a catalyst. And that's one stage below the end-game. Jet fuel powers the bedrock breaker, and powers a friction heater enough to cook that bedrock dust to make bedrock ingots.
RoC uses only vanilla resources. Still think that it has to be terrible?
Ars Magica uses vanilla resources too. And have you seen the spells made by other people?
Ars adds its own resources through world gen that are used, whereas RoC adds none.
Rotarycraft does take advantage of mod added resources with alternate recipes, though, which is really nice. I never use gold where I could use copper or electrum or HSLA Steel where I can use tin ( (because seriously, what am I supposed to do with all this copper and silver if I don't have mekanism or factorization installed...and I have no idea what mod uses a ton of tin.)
Well, i was exaggerating but you know, those mods that keep you busy at your crafting table
*cough*GregTech*cough*
Sorry, what with your exaggeration and my somewhat sarcastic reply optimal levels of communication were not achieved.
My point that went went missing in translation was - the mods that do have deep crafting chains are typically bundled with mods - such as Applied Energistics - that can automate crafting of the low tier components.
The general behaviour of MFR harvesters.
I have two set up to harvest the middle and top rows of sugar. The setup is identical, enderIO conduits inserting power, extracting items and sludge and the whole lot hooked up to a tesseract.
For some reason though, the top layer harvests just fine while the second layer just sits there spinning its' idle timer over and over.
Consistency would be a fine thing...

As a fan of AE I think it does. Especially with NEI's shift-click functionality using AE to automate most mods is quite pointless.
My most interesting AE build so far has been automating IC2 as the crafting chain is both deep, and filled with time consuming machines so its been way more interesting as I've needed to build multiblock crafting computers with CPUs to parallelize the crafting tasks.
I like automating stuff without using AE. It's a bigger challenge, imho. Plus it's fun to look at when it's done.
