This forum's main problem is assholes, focusing moderator efforts into removing them would make a lot more good than removing tekkit servers.
And for the record i don't even play SMP.
B-b-b-b-b-b-but i follow the rules D:
No really i do, and last time i checked being an asshole wasn't against the rules.
Toolbox isn't that bad... But the way alblaka implemented them >.>, even though i remember there where some people suggesting better ways to handle it.
I used them but then there was that annoying bug that would crash your game when you made the mistake of using the toolbox with the 9 slots of the hotbar full.
B-b-b-b-b-but i have my trusty all purpose Drill/Chainsaw and like 5 fully charged lappacks D:
And by the time you make a compressor, you can damn well make a drill too.
Richard did you changed the recipe for the Advanced circuit too like you said you did?
Implemented, including the teleporter glass fiber and advanced circuit amendment.
You don't have to place something so stupid as only On when fully charged and off when fully depleted, that would make it more frustrating to use more than anything.
If you don't want people spamming it like a shitty solar panel like i said above, just up the amount of energy it needs to keep it in operation. Even a second option for servers could see some use, "Increase EU/t with time" in other words if you keep the chunkloading operating for long periods of time then the amount of energy it needs will keep increasing, something like it start at 1eu/t but after 5 minecraft days it becomes 6 eu/t or something. (Of course if something like this is added it would need a Cooldown period between each on/off so people don't pulse the operation of the chunkloader, although i doubt it would work that well but still safe measures are useful)
The wiki also added this on the headline
QuoteIndustrialCraft² was updated, v1.96 now available! (Not yet... got wrong informations >.> sry 'bout that)
Already old suggested suggestion is already old suggested suggestion.
Soon...
I still say that the only way to shut it down via waiting for his internal buffer to deplete its stupid and unnecessary.

These Chunkloaders will ONLY stop to load Chunks, if they are out of Energy (They should have an internal capacitor of 1000000 EU through a Lapotroncrystal in the Recipe), NO REDSTONESIGNAL TO SHUT IT OFF!!!, YOU NEED TO USE SPLITTERCABLES , AND THEN LET THE LOADER GO OUT OF ENERGY TO SHUT IT OFF!!! You may ask why? This is, because you could just switch them off, if you are near enough to keep the Chunks loaded by yourself (So no Energysaver, without a bit of Engineering), and we need a small disadvantage to make it a less OP Chunkloader, than all these other FREE ones.
This my friend, is called overcomplicate it.
What? Disadvantages for a chunk loading block? Energy Costs? Opness? Like i remember reading somewhere in the topic of the "Original Chunkloader":
QuoteWhy charge us so high for a solution for a derpy problem that comes from minecraft/mojang itself? (Not exactly the same wording, but it was along those lines)
Chunk-unloading and shit was done not because of some balance stupidity or something, but to save resources and shit on computers that could barely run minecraft (And Servers, no matter how high end those may be, trying to keep a whole near infinite and ever growing map its going to take a heavy toll on their resources)
You either do a simple chunkloading block or do nothing at all, no reason to over complicate it really. If you want to slap a Eu cost to it just to make it seem more "Industrialish" then fine, but it should not be so prohibitive (Unless you are a server hoster and don't want your users to spam those chunkloaders like they were some shitty solar panels)
Fun Fact: I never saw the fighting club lol. But even then i know the reference comes from there, Stupid internet memes.
Rule Number One of the IC2 Forums: You never talk about lightning rods EVER.
Rule Number Two of the IC2 Forums: We fudging mean it, YOU NEVER TALK ABOUT LIGHTNING RODS EVER!
I did read the al status in his blog. I still don't find this funny.
I don't find these remotely funny, and i bet alblaka will think the same.
There was already a "Funny guy" who tried to do a suggestion about some sort of cattle rod but instead he put on the title "lightning rod", First tread was deleted without warning, second thread was locked and the funny guy was almost banned.
Redpower pumps work a lot better for this since they dont need a "Block" tank to store the liquids, they just move them from point a to point b.
If it was only me then it could be ignorable. But is it just me the only one who hates on them? Or am i even the worst tekkit hater in here?
Well you can see the "good" any thread with the word "Tekkit/tecnic" in the title gives to this forum. Just accept it, we have a bunch of "tekkit/tecnic" haters (Including me) around here and limiting the usage of that word will save ourselves from some future flaming/flame wars.
Afaik this is a forum made by IC2 Devs, for IC2 Fans to talk about IC2 Related stuff.
and maybe the MCforums should ban all ic2 servers we have our own forum after all right? also last i checked no major ic2 server ran vanilla or even bukkit vanilla ic2 and ic2 is usually paired with at lest 2 other MAJOR mods
i think measures to separate them better should at least be tried before we kick them out
Maybe if MC forums would not be dedicated to the entirety of minecraft they would. Besides this is the IC2 forum not the MCforum, this forum don't need the same rules or be the same like that one if the administrators doesn't want to.
We aren't trying to get rid of the tekkit users (Yet), we just want the server section to be fully devoted to IC2 Servers (Standalone or with a few extras mods) and not to Tekkit Servers which from what i gather are usually filled with way too many useless mods.
They also have their own forum where they can post the clusterfuckness they call tekkit servers so they should post them there, you don't see IC2 people posting their servers there right?
I agree with greg, they have their own clusterfuck of a modpack with their own forum, they should post the servers that include that clusterfuckness in their own forum.
The server section in here is for servers that use IC2 Alone or with a few extras, and you cant call that clusterfuckness of tekkit modpack to be "Just a few extras".
