The technic launcher is not "down". Minecraft's login DB servers are acting up. Thanks for spreading false rumors Daniel. For more information see this thread: http://forums.technicpack.net/threads/hello-everyone-mineraft-net-problem.24185/

In a thread that launches into conversation with "Now, will you all reply like excitable little kids, or sensible adults?", I am extremely close to making sensible adults out of the excitable little kids here making blanket statements and being provocative.

How thick can you be to not read stickies?

Well, I'm locking this thread as it seems to have outlived its purpose. It also had the unpleasant effect of spilling over and contaminating another thread that had to be quarantined to prevent the zombie infection (read: rage virus) from spreading on both sides. There's not much more to discuss here: things are changing in the background of technic (courtesy of CheapShot's hard work) whether we can sit here and talk constructively or not; and seeing as there's the innate propensity of all things internet to tend towards unconstructive, this is a preemptive strike. If someone brings this stuff up in a new thread, know I will personally be watching both sides very closely for unconstructive sentiments.

I don't care if you're pro-technic, anti-technic but pro-tekkit, anti-technic, pro-CheapShot but anti-KakerMix, pro-Kakermix and undecided on CheapShot, anti-life, anti-choice, anti-personnel mines, anti-air, pro-progress, pro-Protestant, anti-pro, pro-anti, or anything and everything between and then some. We are all taking a field trip to yourlogicalfallacyis.com and thinking deeply. Also beware anyone who claims to be unbiased. They're probably mistaking themselves for a computer of some kind. OK, but why are you asking this of others when you refuse to do it yourself? Oh wait, that's right you ran away so you wouldn't have to confront this hypocrisy.

Thanks to college classes I've mostly missed the meat of this discussion, but in skimming this eloquent thread there is one thing that was said that bothers me that I'd like to point out: Our community is not a "f*ck you" community. This is perceived, I believe, due to the rough way we handle people who choose not to abide by the forums' rules. The community itself is amazingly more positive than most other online anonymous communities. However, there is a low tolerance for people that want to poison it. This decision had to be made, in part when I became the first mod back in January, because I recognized the time of the people involved with the Technic pack itself and the future people that would become mods are all doing it for free on their own time. We don't have the luxury of sitting around discussing what the deeper philosophical meaning of "don't be a dickbag" rule is, nor what the "just" punishment is in a hypothetical situation, nor what a "good" community is. I helped choose to cut out some ideals when the stark realities of an online community came to bear, and the decision to be "less than gentle" with people who purposefully insult, demean, or attempt to undermine this community for the purpose of discouraging future similar behavior was one of them. I didn't have time to constantly push back the horde, and needed a way to curb it. To keep my thoughts brief: these 10 pages of discussion contain more level-headed debate than I have seen on the 'net in a long long time, so we must be doing something right to not be a "traditional online community" where we bash the minority opinion. If people don't like this community, don't join it. That simple. This isn't me justifying myself, this is me correcting a misconception of us.

Spacewar!

You playing singleplayer Tekkit or on a server hosted on your own machine? What rendering distance do you use? I'm suspecting something is up with your memory usage but I'm not an expert on the JVM.

Problem is that mods come and go in the pack, so the tech tree would look more like a hacked and mangled tech vine. Also add to the fact that there's very few cross-dependencies between mods and you get a lot of separate tech-mangled-dying-vine-brambles.

Also while we're on the topic of exploits, there's a thing going around MCF where the locals exploit each other's stupidity. Like this Java thing, it's been around since day 0 and there is no fix for it. I wouldn't recommend ever going there.

Bring back Project Orion : Where our spaceships poot 'n scoot from nuclear weapons!

Being a nuclear engineer means you're the last in line for that girl and her friends and her friends' friends. Not that you have time for that bull anyway. They're moneysucking machines as far as my experiences go with them. Like children. Also think twice if anyone goes tinfoil hat on you about radiation leakage "facts" etc etc, there's a lot of nutjobs out there. Anyway, let's get this back on track. Besides fapping what are you guys doing on Saturdays (usually)?

I'm sad I missed it. My profile has said I'm 112 since I joined. Obviously I'm the hacker!

Last time I saw one of these threads, everyone agreed Sparklefarts mod is OP. This thread isn't going to go anywhere (see P.A.I.N.S. Volgarenthor vs that other guy) so the bottom line is that mods are like ice cream flavors - everyone has a favorite and ones they don't like. Strawberry is the best, and Chocolate is gross. EDIT: Heres the thread where people got most of the EE debate out of the way: http://forums.technicpack.net/threads/in-defense-of-equivalent-exchange.4520/

IC2 Nuclear Reactor has two nice core concepts that are similar to commercial reactors - cooling and an assembly layout. However, that's pretty much where the similarities end and the stark pains of reality are abandoned for the fun of a game: Fuel type (MOX vs UO2 vs Natural U) (Also tied into criticality) Reactor type (thermal vs fast), also ties in to natural U or processed UO2/MOX PWR vs BWR vs Sodium-Cooled vs Some other exotic scheme Control rods (Tied to Criticality and safety systems) SCRAMs / Safety Systems / Passive Safety Systems / Active Safety Systems (tied to Pumps too) Crud buildup Spent fuel management / reprocessing An actual turbine (High pressure and/or low pressure) Reheaters / Condensors / Pumps (Basically all of Mechanical Engineering stuff that any power plant would have) Any notion of startup/shutdown procedures (External source startups / Control Rod Withdrawl) Poisons (Xenon being the most well-discussed due to its role in Chernobyl) Reactor Geometry (Hexagonal, Rectangular) Neutron reflectors / absorbers (tied into criticality and safety) I could theoretically build you a reactor, but it would cost a lot of money, the plans would need to be submitted to the NRC and approved (which is a lengthy process involving the public - i.e. your surrounding neighbors would get to chime in) and then there would be the problem of obtaining the capital investment to build the reactor (we're talking hundreds of millions to billions easily). Not to mention the fuel cycle issues you'd be seeing. I'm oversimplifying a bit as well. Plus in reality I wouldn't want to do core design or anything like that - licensing a design would be better from a vendor. All in all, you're better off just buying solar panels for your house by far. To get back on track, just realized that GW2 early access is this weekend. I'll be there most likely.

Don't actually quote me on the "moving one block per tick" as it's mostly a grandpa sayin' coming from an elder who saw tick rates slow down due to loopage in the older days of IC2. It may be instantaneous, I don't know the exact algorithm but there is the possibility of slowing down the tick rate of servers by spamming packets everywhere in an energy grid. Anyway, back on topic, I don't think splitting packets or combining them affects their ultimate travel speed (unless you count the server-side Java bytecode that needs to be executed per packet) but it does affect loss per packet (fewer packets = less overall loss in general).

Looks like you are getting confused how individual packets are being produced. For a comprehensive basis on how packets works consult: http://forums.technicpack.net/threads/wip-electrical-engineering-101-power-electricity.156/ Anyway to answer your last question: Each reactor produces 2048 EU (theoretically), that means that each reactor creates 1 packet containing 2048 EU. If you are using one HV cable (which can handle 2048 EU packets) then your cable will not blow up. However, there are 2 packets of 2048 EU moving in your HV cable (from your 2 reactors). How much does the cable care? Not one damn bit. So both packets will go to your MFSU (each packet losing 1 EU per block travelled. This is your only energy loss assuming no forks of your cable). Thus if you are using n reactors each producing p power travelling along L length of HV cable with t loss per packet per block traveled into a single MFSU, your MFSU will store: n*(p-t*L) EU's of power In his latter question about reactors outputting 2048 EU/t packets, each packet travels one block per IC2 EnergyGrid tick. So changing the size of the packet won't affect its speed (they are independent). However, he would have 4 packets instead of one travelling down his HV cable and thus lose 4 times as much pure EU.

Give us more information? For instance, what is migrating (MC account or e-mail?), what behaviors happened before and after migration, etc.

My homework. Nuclear Engineering sucks.
