Got some nice pics, but imgur's just sitting there not uploading.

It's late now, so I'll try again tomorrow.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

Redpower is not in the Feed the Beast modpack!

There goes one of my favorite mods.

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

   Its just not updated yet. Once its is released it will be included. If you watch Direwolf's server lets play they have it on there.

[Micro102]

Yeah but he is good at merging mods (or knows someone who can do it). He could of had it integrated himself.

[Duke 2.0]

 It's more that he is one of the few people who have access to that build of it. A lot of the modders in the MC forums community are working with the more prolific Youtubers in a private server to test their mods for bugs and spitball ideas. The Redpower you see there is not available anywhere.

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

   Yeah when I mention Direwolf's server lets play I generally assume people by now know that its the one where he is playing with all the modders. Its the test server so they can work the kinks out of all the mods like how block breakers when breaking frames with tubes in them would create a piece of bundled wire.

I'd love to know why Eloraam can release to various people (shadowdragon, Direwolfs server play) yet can't just release a 'beta' version of her mod. It's starting to get a little silly now

I'd love to know why Eloraam can release to various people (shadowdragon, Direwolfs server play) yet can't just release a 'beta' version of her mod. It's starting to get a little silly now

Because she doesn't want to release an unfinished, buggy mod and deal with the whining and raging from the community. Its not a product you are paying for, so you're not entitled to regular updates or even continued development. Its not 'silly', it is her choice. She could choose never to update it again, in fact. Its not like she makes a lot of money off of doing this.

[Briggsy16]

She's gonna get whining and raging either way, she's doing fine ignoring it now so I don't really see how it makes a difference. People will always find issues with it either way, if she fixes the bugs that she says are left (3 I think she said in the DW videos) then releases there'll more than likely be a few that get through that people will still moan about.

She ignores them now, no reason why she can't continue to ignore them.

I just realized EE2 allows you to set up infinite generation loops even easier than anybody thought.

1 cobble = 1 EMC. 1 cobble slab = 1 EMC.

3 cobble = 6 slabs.

6 slabs = 6 EMC.

6 EMC = 6 cobble.

6 cobble = 12 slabs.  And so on, and so forth. In combination with Buildcraft or any other mods that allow you to autocraft and pipe items around, you can make a little 2x2x2 factory that generates EMC. I'm using Buildcraft since I'm doing this in Tekkit, I guess Redpower would work too. Benefit of Buildcraft is that it's cheap and the redstone engines will speed up over time.

[The Darkling Wolf]

Yeah, that's one of the oldest and most well known feedback loops

[Baneling]

An additional note is that it's really really slow. Thus far, I've generated approx one gold bar worth of EMC.

[The Darkling Wolf]

You can scale it up to a few hundred pretty cheaply.

[Baneling]

Mind explaining how? My best guess is to add more autocrafters.

[MagmaMcFry]

Here's what I have so far. Are you ready for this?

Spoiler: Because it's awesome. (click to show/hide)

Have a sample setup. There's a heater (the metal thing), a heat-powered furnace (on the right of the metal thing), heat-conducting cables (the dark tube-type things), two melters (the large cauldron things), and some drains.


Put some fuel inside the heater, and it starts to heat up. Heat is transferred to adjacent blocks (which is why the furnace is also beginning to glow).


Okay, here's where it gets awesome: Put some solid metal inside the melters (iron to the left, gold to the right), and they'll melt and flow out into the drains.


Same thing, but at night, because it looks awesome.
