Yeah but that is quite hard to get.

In case you are referring to me in the last phrase of the first paragraph: I do know quite a bit about the 4 major mods ( maybe not so much for Redpower but I don't really use complex restone circuits) It is nice you understand that some people like to use EE. I don't want to make it so that everyone uses it either. I like building stuff. But getting everything from thin air is boring. And I don't agree. When I play survival mode, I feel MUCH more attached to the world. I dump creative worlds like a monkey with bowel problems, but I only have one active survival mode world and/or server. And when I feel I finished or died and rage-quit, I still wait to start a new one. Give a man a catle and he will be entertainned for 20~30 minutes. Give him a magic backpack and the ability to punch down trees and he will be entertainned for 3~4 days or when he falls into lava, whatever comes sooner.

Reasons for EE to stay? It is very fun ( in my opinion anyway), is useful to dispose of all that cobblestone from the quarries, gives a use to gold,has a nice system and one of my favourite features as a builder: Let's you choose different wood colors. The cobblestone slab can only be reallisticaly used with buildcraft. Should we remove buildcraft? I don't use forrestry so can't say anything there. Besides that I agree it has some problems but they are small enough to not warrant removal from the game. And I think I heard somewhere that EE3 is gonna be released a in few months and it's going to be much more balanced. And you are forgeting that IC2 can also make diamonds from nothing.

Of course it is costing you OVER 8000 Blocks for each diamond right? So doubling you materials for a measly energy cost that you can get free ( water, solar and wind generators (though to be fair wind generators are UP) is balanced but smelting those dusts for free isn't? And I agree dusts should not be able to be doubled in a DM/RM furnace. THAT would be OP. 1 diamond for the high covalence dust + 1 for the alchemical chest + 3 for the diamond pick to get obsidian + 4 for the enrgy condenser = 9 diamonds. Mining laser is 5 diamonds only. Unless you are very carelees, you should be fine with that midgame armor that protects 90% damage. And by exhausting your EU suply do you mean that thing that is a easy to get as your oh so dreaded EMC? And explosive mode is for destruction. Mining mode is for mining. And you thing the special functions are cheap? Also a drill and a chainsaw act as 2 in 1 tools. And if you want the DM pick and shovel it is ~80 diamonds. A diamond drill is less the 4. 20 Diamond drills VS 1 DM pickaxe...

I don't think EE should be taken off of Tekkit at all. If people don't like it, there are tons of servers that disable EE. And Tekkit is not about technology! Tekkit is a mix of Technic and Bukkit. Technic refers to Technical stuff. If magic has pre-dertimined rules and numbers, it IS technical. In my opinion the only overpowered item is the energy collector. But it costs like 10 diamonds and you can achieve the same thing with redpower cobblestone generators. Should the block breaker be disabled too? And the macerator DOUBLES the ores you get! And it's much easier to get than a dark matter furnace. What about Mining laser? They can also point and click explosions and break through obsidian in contact. The elctrical tools in Industrial craft are industrictible and I would have a Quantum Armor over Red matter armor any day. The truth is: for 1 red matter armor you need 1440 diamonds. I wouldn't call that reallistic to get in a PVP server. And if you find someones base you can steal their energy collectors drop them in lava or use them yourself. EE is only OP in endgame BECAUSE the other mod endgames aren't as late.

My computer does the same when I try to use Technic. Don't change your texture pack and you should be fine.

Yogscast: Simon, Lewis, Sips and Sjin They know very little about Tekkit but they are hilarious. Yogscast Duncan The only person in that series that actualy knows what he's doing. Quite funny when he wants too. Direwolf20: TOO DAMN BORING! I just can't handle his tutorials. So I would say the best is Duncan.
