I support most things except Yet another transport system.
Nothing annoys me more than seeing another piping system that I have to try and disable.

Buildcraft - Possibly the strongest piping system if you use it right (LP Makes it insanely good)
AE - Basicly LP with magic blocks and turned up to 11
RP2 - Slow and clunky only good for systems with no though
PR - A Shitty logistics pipes
MFR - Interesting has limitations and some of the best enchantment handling sorting
GT - Simple pipes some handy sorting machines.

Thats just off the top of my head but I can almost bet there are more.

Like I said, they have their problems. I remember a few versions of tickthreading back in 1.4.7 were quite successful.
Edit: and all versions in 1.6.x and most of 1.5.x not very successfull.

Its a stupidly huge undertaking.

Amusing
Entertaining
Humorous

Witty

You could try some of these words out.

Well there are quite a few multithread setups that exist. And all have their problems. Look at tickthreading and umm robinthreads (off the top of my head)

If only minecraft was built in a way that had multithreaded ticks in mind from the ground up

I feel all countries woul;d benefit from a "Means test" some form of test the gauges your ability to do basic things, think constructively etc... Also pass some form of socio-path screening test.

And if you score too low you just cant do certain things.

Edit: Fixed MFR and Fixed BoP

http://www.mediafire.com/downl…-QFIX-1.6.4-1.2.1.434.jar

MFR fix removes the greggy greg crap
BoP fix removes the blockMeat entry for BoP rotten meat in the nether so it is not the best source of food in game.

In App Purchase

Chickenbones gets about 250 a month afaik. Its also the most downloaded mod there is afaik with 3 adfly links to get through.

I am going from memory based on some info seen a month or 2 ago. Numbers may be off a bit.

In the Alloy smelter using a mould

Lots of generators on 1 wire.

In 1.6 there is no cable loss due to IC2 bugs

Well the new cable losses are interesting.
I like the option as always to swap between both modes

I really really like the colouring in tool tips. So easy to read things at a glance.

Edit: Is there any possibility that you may add a config option to remove tool recipes like the Vanilla Tools/IC2/Other or something in the dynamiconfig file so people can set only your tools to be craftable.
Edit: Also any thought on Meta Armour similar to the tools?

TFC is also adding a steam age currently it has some parts already made.

TFC is grindy if you look to the end goal being the best armour. It is a mod that has to be played with building and construction as the primary goal. Tech progression is secondary.

Bigger cables could be used on machine walls with automation. But in its current state I don't think there are many situations where high amp cables will be useful at all.
I honestly think the difference between unshielded and shielded is a too huge gap. 10% difference would be a much nicer level of difference IMO.

Things like Applied Energistics or Logistics pipes, where you request an item to be crafted.

Over clockers are very strong when coupled with on demand automation. Else just build multiple machines.

Edit: V2 http://filebeam.com/4d644a9cdcf3e164e1415c11e0a721e8

So I did some fiddling around.

Current - Power loss per cable as it stands
Adjusted - Reworked numbers for a smoother scaling of cable loss (Even more away from reality but just coz I was interested)
Half Life - Completely different cable loss system using a half life style energy loss
Half Life Charts - Charts to give a good visualisation of how things would work.

Edit: Added % power loss per cable (% loss is the same every block regardless of distance)
Edit2: I wonder if I could work out a way to handle that without decimals.

Would I be right in assuming loss for machines on output is something like this?
And is that applied before the power leaves the machine?

Teir Loss
1 18
2 36
3 72
4 144
5 288
6 576
7 1152

Edit: I am almost 100% sure my math went wrong somewhere..

Edit2: (Completly random idea) I am thinking up some way of making cable range a representation of Half-Range of the power travelling over it, similar to nuclear half life

Im probably a version or 2 old.

Displaying % loss as a % of peak power is reasonably acceptable.
its 4:30am so I might call it a night and tackle things once I have at least a few hours of sleep under my belt. I get irritable and shit at things when iv not slept for 30+ hours lol.

Might try building some form of interactive graphing setup and power calculator thingy....

Looks like a 2 to me.

Was assuming you were using a 2EU-V loss.

There is a fixed spreadsheet with fixed losses.
