Sorry I'm a total marvel/DC noob, I like them but have never really gotten around to watching/reading much of their stuff. But anyway, I'm guessing Avengers is sort of like the Justice League? Or is Avengers part of the Justice League, or am I committing heresy and mixing up marvel and DC D: It's l...

I'm guessing because other forge mods don't rely on 'Obsidian Forts' for security? Obsidian blocks themselves aren't that hard to create/get around. The hardness issue is merely an annoyance to those who have to bother with them early-mid game in Minecraft... Hell, Nether portals can be built via b...

If you can separate steel and diamon, how about leaving it in for obsidian until SMP? :p It would really help speed things up. It's a bug, and one I've already fixed. The problem resides in Forge, but it was easy enough for me to override its behavior without needing to modify any of its classes. I...

Is the Steel Pickaxe supposed to be able to cleave through obsidan fairly easily? I mean, if so, wonderful, it's nice to have way to FINALLY deal with obisidan - it just seems to be sorta contray to your previous statements. Ack! Is it? No, that's not intentional. Checking now. EDIT: Arg. So is dia...

Why the cement change? Integration into the tech-tree, plus in this case I'm thinking of balancing it for SMP in the future. I figure the likelihood of a griefer spending 10 or so hours getting through the tech-tree to get a bucket of cement is rather minimal ;) I guess... but now my IC^2 recipe wi...

Why the cement change?

I like the idea of hellfire bars, although they may be really cheap by the time you get 4 UU matter (since you'll already have steel by the time you do much of anything with IC2). I like the other suggestions though, although having cacti string necessary for waterproof pipes actually gave them a p...

-snip- No, my question is, what is your on-topic answer for this thread? Being: how can we mod/change the mods to better fit together into one tech tree. You explained an alternate idea of a tech tree, but I see no suggestion of what you would change Probably just a massive overhaul via Custom Reci...

This seems to me to be just the way the mods are now.... Right. What I wanted to show was.. I guess.. a better light on the current system in regards to the approach as to how to handle 'OMGsomanyITEMZ' or the feeling of 'Mod X is more OP than Mod Y' kinda feel that some may get when combining thes...

What? How is that a tech tree? Can you give an example of a change you would implement to better integrate these mods using your system? I can do it better in terms of an example: --------------------------------------------------------------- I've just spawned into a world... my first actions are ...

I think I get where you're coming from with this, but I can't see a way to avoid the issue of complete obsolescence. Why use the hopper/water when obsidian/diamond pipes are fairly cheap and can do almost everything easier. Why even bother getting to steel? It's much easier to build a simple solar ...

I'll just start a separate one then... :-/

Your idea SEEMS very linear, stacking item prereqs.together in such a fashion as to 'tier' into each mod for their functionality. What I'm suggesting is a non-linear, or paralleling tech tree where each mod runs together simultaneously, in such a way that they could work without the added recipe cha...

And fine, I'll get out of your thread as well...

Edit: and no, I don't use Mod packs for mods either.. I was the first to get all the forge mods working together anyways...

edit: The biggest problem with BC, IC^2 and EE combined with each other (BTW or not) is the Macerator. Take iron, for example. One ore makes two dusts, each becoming 1 bar. 2 bars can make 3 glowstone, and 4 glowstone can become 2 Iron ore. If you pipe devices together properly and insert half a st...

UU matter is dangerous to produce in mass quantities. It requires a massive input of power and produces very very slowly, and a Safe-setup reactor won't provide near enough energy to produce UU matter in any sizable amount.. Really? Take a look at this then: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0u8vuMDY6...

You really don't get that stuff in EE super fast by itself , and that item that lets you blast holes in walls eats up fuel at an insane speed. Fixed. The problem is not EE as a mod. The problem is EE with other mods ... quite a jarring difference there... I can also bet that alot of the 'tech tree'...

You answered your own question in the quote you questioned. You'll only start saying things like I say things if you keep trying hard to make less sense while trying hard to make sense... Well, using UU Matter for this is a good way to make EE end-game... Making IC machines would be much harder hav...

What we could do is code it so that you require a certain level in order to access EE. and in order to get that level you have to craft items not through mining and such. Either Disabling or altering the slimeball -> P. Stone recipe would be your best bet. It seems to be the item that actually mess...

You're basically running the same setup as I am, except I don't even touch EE (too useful imo... and I find it's extremely hard to balance other mods around it...) The best way I can come up with playing the major 3-4 Forge mods is this: Don't barrel down the path of all of them at once. Reason for ...

Repeating crossbow A repeating crossbow is a crossbow where the separate actions of stringing the bow, placing the bolt and shooting it can be accomplished with a simple one-handed movement while keeping the crossbow stationary. This allows a higher rate of fire than a normal crossbow. More complex...

Hey, since you made it so that BTW can power IC, and the other chap whose name I cannot remember or spell at the moment made it so that BTW can power BC, I don't suppose one of you could finish this nice little modding triangle with a transformer to turn IC's energy units into BuildCraft...power? I...

Magus, I don't seem to understand the problem. I have had a tremendous weekend of fun playing battlefield. I would never, ever point a gun at someone in real life, nor am I aggressive, domineering or whatever else. It's a game and should be treated as such. Now in Minecraft, also a game, there are ...
