Modular Force Field System and Advanced Repulsion System

[Mr_Pink]

Now , these two mods do the exact same things , what's the point to include both in the pack ? ( i'm not saying you have to remove one , i'm just curious , i've already eliminated one by myself )

[Cakestory]

After i found out about it a few minutes ago, i would like to know that too.

Advanced Repulsion System uses a whole different system with lasers. Look around in Immibis' thread at the IC2 forums right here.

You do realize the development builds are for testing, right? There's a conflicting recipe between the two mods, and they are only both included for testing purposes, to see which one people like more. After that, one of them will be removed,

Edit: Shit, the forum glitched and posted my response twice.

Oh ok , that explain everything . Anyway i personally prefer Advanced Repulsion System as it has lasers ( frikkin' awesome lazerz ! ) and advanced tesla coils , and also it's only power dependant while mffs relys also on a ore ( monazite ) witch is not so common if you have started your world before this update :P

ARS all the way

I'd be lynched if I attempted to restart the world for the MFFS mod and the indus tesla coils are much appreciated by all users as mob busters (amongst other things)

MFFS has a way to generate monazite from EU and power the fields with out mining the ore but it greatly increases the power needed to run the system. A better option is the UU-matter recipe it adds for monazite which is possibly cheaper then running the fields with out it.

Personally I like MFFS better as it has more options for protecting areas with its defense stations as well as better protection from cheaters. Namely the ability to strip trespassers of armor/items that you do not approve of such as their quantum suit or other destructive items. Insuring that the protection offered by the system cannot be bypassed by any means other then going into creative.

However at this point it would be best to avoid swapping from ARS to MFFS due to the need to regen worlds for the monazite which really helps to reduce the energy costs of the mod.

You pinpointed the problem , MFFS require to restart a fresh new world to be efficiently take advantage of , and as many of us have already started a world from a long time it's not a good thing . Anyway i like much the security devices of MFFS but i don't think that they could be used in a normal server as it's equivalent to steal , probably in some anarchy servers these devices are premitted .

MFFS doesn't require world restart, just make a mystcraft age and BAM new ores.
