My country does get finicky about animals. It's the badgers now but Britain was embroiled in a horsemeat scandal earlier in the year. I don't know if there was any international coverage of this but any of you that lived in Europe at the time will have probably been bombarded horsemeat news. You could have it the horse drops be called "Beef Lasagne <Insert name of supermarket here>'s own". That would be funny although I wouldn't really recommend it because there might be legal ramifications.

A cool rare drop for the horses could be horseshoes. Because horseshoes are supposed to be lucky if you right click on them in your hotbar you could get a random buff or debuff.

There was definitely international coverage, that's where I came up with "Mislabeled Beef". I was originally going to say, "EU Beef" tooltip, "It's not what you think". But I didn't want to lump/limit that to the EU and could be confusing with ic2 power. Then again, maybe an EU generator that runs on liquid EU beef?

You all are being way too obvious about this, none of the existing jokes come right out and tell you what's going on. Meat nuggets have "meat" in quotes, pink slime comes to life, poop in mushroom biomes is mushroom soup, babies keep trying to find their parents. None of this says "you are a bad person and factory animal farming is disgusting" but it's there as soon as you look for it. Dropping "tainted beef" is too obvious; the fact that it's tainted is the joke. Making it straight up drop beef, or an item visually identical to beef but that can't be stacked with it, actually achieves the joke without spelling it out in your face, so when you figure it out you feel like you "got" it.

This has been humor 101 with power crystals.

See, that's why I love this dev mod:
Drops in a bunch of black humour that you need to see a little further and it gets way cooler once you get it.

You do know that the gelatin used in almost every candy comes from ground bones right?

oh yeah kinda forgot about that :) it can be gotten from already existing animals, so when he said about horses, i though it was something horse-specific, which got me confused.

If it were up to me I would automate everything but you could probably guess that from the stuff the mod does. Anything you have to do by hand is a failure. Except mining and building, because the first makes the game super boring when everybody has quarries and the latter is kind of the point of the game. That just leaves the player to decide what to do and where to do it, and how to make it look good.

I'll be honest mining is something that often helps me think. When I get stuck on a build sometimes running off to mine for a bit helps me work things out while being produvtive at the same time. Which is why I'll never use a quarry. I did one once and I just found having all these mats got fairly silly at a point. I like the laser drill is is slow and random which is nice and I dont even leaving it running all the time its a sort of Eh I got some extra power let me dump it over there and play the ore lottory.

So yeah I agree if you automate everything but building it just feels like slow creative mode to me. I don't like to much automation. But some of it is nice and you will never see me with an all in one super AE crafting system for that vary reason.[DOUBLEPOST=1372278882][/DOUBLEPOST]

Grind villagers for "pork"

eating said "pork" has a chance for getting you a "Shakes" debuff of some sort

YAY Kuru in your MC.

Saice, I saw your base on Kirindave's latest resonance rise episode. It was really cool and I loved the conveyor belt escalators (I did something like that once but they weren't as good). I didn't know you could mount them on the rednet cable either.
In mass effect 2 for Jacob's loyalty mission there is a big crashed ship near the landing zone. Your base reminds me of that!

Powercrystals, I was thinking of asking you if you could make the conveyor belts more like rails where they would transmit redstone current along themselves but now I know you can put them straight on the rednet cable it doesn't matter. In my 1.4.7 world I had a futuristic looking cylindrical corridor that was meant to be a decontamination chamber you had to go through before you could enter my base and it had an elevated travellator running through it. It was controlled with red alloy wire and the belts were mounted on blocks. It was ok but it just didn't look right. I might recreate that room when I get the materials with rednet now because I kinda liked it even though it had no practical purpose. In addition to providing the redstone current, the rednet cable actually looks like a cool support structure for the conveyor belts. I guess it will support rails too. Time to build a cool monorail maybe?

P.S. I had to check online for the correct spelling of travellator and I realised that it might just be a British English word. It means moving walkway or moving sidewalk.

Well, they were supposed to be pigmen at first...

Mmmmm. long pork.

Funny story, I got really shitfaced with this butcher once and the conversation turned slightly macabre.

Turns out the best piece of meat on a human would probably be the cheeks...

Needless to say, we don't got out much anymore.

You used to not be able to make the conveyors ramp up partial blocks like RedNet it is a recent fix.

Jowls are a very tender & tasty meat. My cousin roasts a whole hog on the 4th of July each year. Every one thought I was crazy for carving the cheeks out, now there 10 people fighting for them each year.

The latest Wired magazine had an article about a company creating asphalt out of pig poop. I'd love a replacement for basalt, just have poo bricks surrounding my base.

Yo listen up: here's the story
About a little guy
That lives in a poo world
And all day and all night and everything he sees is
Just poo like him inside and outside
Poo his house with a poo little window
And a poo Corvette and everything is poo for him
And himself and everybody around him
'Cause he ain't got nobody to listen...

I'm poo (If i was
green i would die, if i was green i
would die, if i was green i would
die)
I'm poo (If i was green i would
die, if i was green i would die, if i
was green i would die)

I have a poo house with a poo little window
Poo is the color of all that I wear
Poo are the streets and all the trees are too
I have a girlfriend and she is so poo
Poo are the people here that walk around
Poo like my Corvette it's standing outside
Poo are the words I say and what I think
Poo are the feelings that live inside me

I'm poo (If i was
green i would die, if i was green i
would die, if i was green i would
die)
I'm poo (If i was green i would
die, if i was green i would die, if i
was green i would die)

Poo his house with a poo little window
And a poo Corvette and everything is poo for him
And himself and everybody around him
'Cause he ain't got nobody to
listen to

I'm poo (If i was
green i would die, if i was green i
would die, if i was green i would
die)
I'm poo (If i was green i would
die, if i was green i would die, if i
was green i would die)


I'm poo (If i was
green i would die, if i was green i
would die, if i was green i would
die)
I'm poo (If i was green i would
die, if i was green i would die, if i
was green i would die)
