Limit runs to 5 pieces long? Enery loss on part with a tesseract?

I haven't even seen the IC2 forum regulars try pushing that theory, and they love jumping to every conclusion they can. My personal favorite was kaker makes thousands of dollars off this place a day thanks to $1.50/single-view ad rates and he owns the hosting company so hosting is really free, plus he hacked paypal to steal all donations sent to the mod authors.

I can't be the only one who bothered to read this. Specifically: "Tekkit Lite 0.6.5, the final Tekkit Lite update for 1.4.7" Not saying anything officially, I'm just a mod. But I consulted a magic 8-ball 5 times. The first 4 said "Don't count on it", the 5th said "Seriously, stop asking".

I got a good one, "Tekkit" It's got a good build-up of name recognition behind it and is the only incarnation of the technic family currently being updated and supported. Just like Coke and Pepsi!

That's not an official release, just someone grabbing the download from jenkins and put it on that minecraftings site. Rehosting other people's mods in hopes of getting banner ad and/or adfly revenue is pretty common. The "I want IC2/RP2" threads are going to come no matter what we do, so I'm just making sure the alternatives are written down so hopefully atleast 1 or 2 people will read them and not create yet another thread. What can I say, I'm an optimist.

Make a custom modpack using tekkit as a base. List modpack on platform. Enjoy your new not-Tekkit modpack.

Not every server running tekkit has mystcraft and dimensional doors enabled (infact many disable them to save power, extra dimensions can be taxing). And there's also the fact Tekkit isn't the only modpack with galacticraft, and not all the packs with it have those other two mods as well.

Mod author doesn't want it in any modpacks at all.

To quote a great man: "Some people juggle geese!" Seriously, fun is intangible and measurable only by it's results. The admins here have decided to go the "simple, effective, and playably stable" route to fun, while you demand the "cram it all in and let god sort it out" route. Considering they've got to great lengths to make it as easy as possible to create custom modpacks, there's nothing stopping anyone from making the tekkit you believe is the correct one and letting the players decide. That was uncalled for.

Thread was dead and gone, question answered months ago. Why would you bring it back up?

Scaled illuminator + MFR rednet + CC (after integration so you can use rednet as a bundled cable) = Ooooooo.

You mean coal? Yeah, those things spew a lot of crap out. Trace radioisotopes, mercury, a lot of other toxic compounds, and a whole lot of CO2. They've gotten better emissions controls over the years, but not by choice.

Well sure something bad would happen. You'd have a couple tons of moving metal smashing together, identical to a couple gas powered cars crashing. Except you don't have flamable liquid leaking out onto the ground, just a small amount of boiling water. At 8 grams of thorium per car, you would get a critical mass explosion if over 1400 cars all crashed into each other and the fissile material not only all suddenly escaped the thick engine walls and came together, but also went through magic perfect enrichment into weapons grade plutonium. Nuke plants are dangerous because they were designed back in the 50's when they wanted all the weapons grade plutonium they could get (power was really just a byproduct...) Wikipedia has info for you. Check out pebble bed for a good example of something safe. Yes, but in a way that can breed inspiration.

Personally been a fan of fission power forever, but man my eyes lit up to thorium after reading this article. The possibility of a nuke powered car like those in fallout is just way too awesome. Though even just a stationary generator with years of fuel (for dollars on the gram) and 0 chance of meltdown would be a hell of a transformative technology.

Make a modpack.

Never going to happen. There's too many different factors that the dozen or so major mod developers would have to agree on. Is it electricity vs mechanical vs pneumatic vs hydraulic vs magic, energy outputs of the various fuels, what should be allowed to be fuels, storage options, renewable source generators, energy costs, ect...

You're saying you know the theme of the pack ("More options") better than the guys making it.

http://tech.slashdot.org/story/13/05/07/1554214/internet-explorer-0-day-attacks-on-us-nuke-workers-hit-9-other-site Yes it's IE8, but time is the only reason it isn't for IE10.

Uhm, sorry, but Kakermix has responded to this type of argument many times. Technic/tekkit is about being fun. Your argument is identical to the guys who called for EE and thaumcraft to be removed from technic because "It's a technical modpack for technical mods, not magical!" Personally, I don't see what all the rage is about. Tekkit makes a great base for creating your own modpack that can then be listen on Platform. Download tekkit, copy the necessary files to a new folder, add the mods you think are missing, and repackage it as your own modpack.

Your best bet is to learn how to fill atleast one of the two coding skillsets you're looking for (rendering or AI) yourself. Because as it stands all I see is someone with enough skill to barely follow the forge tutorials looking to get other people to do the heavy lifting.

No ETA, never an ETA. ETA requests are a quick way to earn hellen keller status.

Except when microsoft serves out malicious drive-by download ads on their default homepage and infect a computer before you even get a chance to download a virus scanner. Yes, it happens. When you have 50 machines running IE with the default homepage you're statistically guaranteed to catch any infection with a 2% or greater serve rate. There's a concept called the Sneakernet. You transfer files between computers using removable media and your legs as a method of traversing the geographical distance. It's how we shared files way back before even dialup, and you can still use it by heading to a friend's house and having them get the browser installer of your choice onto a thumb drive. A side benefit is a trip to your buddy's place that can lead to all sorts of goofing off and general socializing.

I hoard digital stuff...

Firefox has a desktop sync feature, under the tools menu. Syncs tabs and bookmarks just fine. I actually used it to export the bookmarks out of my droid X when I replaced my phone. Synced with a VM guest I had running then synced back with my new phone. Couldn't use my real desktop setup because I didn't want to overload my phone with thousands of bookmarks (I have over 200 webcomic links alone, and I tend to bookmark-all when I get too many deviantart tabs open).
