But, can you be a CYBERPUNK cowboy? Because that would be kinda cool.
What cool little thing have you discovered today?

We call them "engineers." Especially the ones that the vendors send out to replace parts. Bigger hammer, my ass.

They don't replace parts anymore... They just swap sub-assemblies
"Why yes, I am quite fluent in Soldering Iron"
The Immersive Engineering fluid pump can act like a ranged pump for lava! HOW I didn't know this, I have no idea, but holy moly!
Mind blowingly better? Right click the top with a hammer, and you can turn on/off the replacement with cobblestone. So you can drain a pool in the overworld, or fill in lava in the nether.
...seriously, I swear, IE is the mod that just keeps giving.
In my opinion, IE is the best tech mod because of the pretty multiblocks. It is amazing for factories

I just discovered drawers with my recent installment of FTB Beyond. Thought they were super cool cuz the upgrades with Jabba Barrels were a pain and they were kinda ugly. But now I'm sad that Jabba isn't in FTB Beyond....
Jabba isn't in Beyond but Yabba is. Its sick because one of the upgrades is, infinite capacity.

I've used Yabba before. But the textures are so 8-bit that it makes any build look rough....
I think I will stick with drawers in combination with Refined Storage.
But thank you

Speaking of drawers, thanks to the "Progressive Adventure" modpack I discovered the Framing Table - you can create your own custom drawers (like, marble front, cobblestone sides, and Obsidian trim) - the possibilities are endless and they drawers look really cool!
This feature has been around for a long time, but is often overlooked. I'll admit I don't use it as often as I should though.

I only found out about it last night as it's a reward from one of the quests (this is partly why I like playing HQM packs) - I can't check right now as I'm at work but does it also work on Compacting Drawers? Cos those things are uuuuugly in their default skin
I think the author of the mod optimized it, but be careful of large arrays of framed drawers hooked up to something that refreshes them a lot(Like AE). It will really tank performance.
It is not the little icons in the drawers that causes it. It is every drawer has to render 3-4 textures or something every time the network/chunk/whatever refreshes. And they all has to be processed since they could all be different. I think, I don't know the technical stuff. I just know that it caused havoc for me on a world, and mod author warned about it.
The framed ones are great for the odd aesthetic drawer here and there. But you would want to stick to normal ones on your main (probably over the top) storage network.
After you guys were discussing adding Mekanism to Beyond. I decided to take a look for myself. I've used Mekanism in the past, but never the generators. It turns that the generators are extremely good. A wind turbine can produce a 100 RF/t. And they're quit cheap to make, Im currently trying to get the gas burning generator. Seems a little broken.
