Gregtech now has a bronze-based lower tech tier which allows you to make steel and rubber easily.

Also this is going in my next update: http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1937619-162152-ender-io-how-many-pipes-in-one-block-words-in-brackets-are-good/

(not updating right now, just compiling new stuff and updated mods)

Could we lower the spawnrate of all Mo' creatures animals and maybe switch the horsespawning off? There is really way too much going on at the surface and I think the large amount of creatures causes a lot of lag, furthermore the Mo' creatures horses are pretty much unnecessary to be spawned with the vanilla horses around.
Correct me if I'm wrong though

Mo'creatures horses are much expanded from regular horses, so you might want to turn the vanilla ones off if possible.

I have steam bronze extractor finally working. Main problem was that the information on how to do that was hard to find. According to my calculations 300 more copper ore will net me enough bronze to get to steel. I am not complaining but "easily" is not how I would describe it.

Sorry. I had to go directly to an industrial blast furnace though.

from what i understand vanilla horses are able to breed with mo'creatures horses so they are useful. I'll look at ways to turn down spawn rates though.

In this post on the Minecraft forums there is a lengthy explanation about the settings in the Mo' Creatures config, I hope it helps you save a bit of time

Optifine seems to no longer have an effect. There's too much lag for me to play now.

From what I understand, Optifine isn't 100% compatible with forge at the moment. That said, I haven't added very much that would impact your visual performance. You get more lag now than last update, even away from other people's bases and machines?

[Elephant Parade]

Well, Optifine is somewhat weird when combined with the modpack. It generally worked fine for reducing lag (just no menus) but a couple of times, it just didn't work. Now it doesn't seem to work.

[Edit]Renamed it to [zOptifine, going to see if it helps. I know that with Magic Launcher, you need to put it under other mobs, so let's see if this works.

Is the experimental branch the one that's gregtechy by default? Or is that build not public yet?

Its 'experimental' in the sense that its an indevelopment version with a few mechanics changes. Its still IC2, not gregtech by default.

Unfortunately its also nonoptional because railcraft now REQUIRES the experimental branch, as do a few other mods.

[frostshotgg]

I meant with the hammers and wirecutters and shit. Gregtechy in that it adds stupid tools that are almost immediately replaced by another machine.

I... don't know? And I'm not sure why you seem so hostile? There are no wirecutters in the IC2 experimental branch. Hammers are from gregtech, I don't see any in default IC2 experimental.

[forsaken1111]

So the new IC2 does have some mechanical changes I've discovered on testing. Specifically the wires now care how much power you are sending down a line.

To give an example:

Previously you could have hooked up 10 batboxes to a copper cable and had no trouble. They would send 10x pulses of 32eu each. You are effectively transferring 320eu/t over a low voltage line.
Now if you connect 10x batboxes the pulses will combine into a single 320eu pulse, so you will need HV cable or glass fibre cable. This means you'll need to be careful when connecting your wiring up!

Also: If you connect a machine that takes only 32eu/t to a line sending more than that (ie, 2 batboxes outputting to it) it will explode/melt/break.

This isn't as bad as it sounds if you have wired your stuff up sensibly. On loading I had no random explosions in my workshop, and the wiring in that place is terrible. I thought for sure I'd have at least one or two, or instances of wires melting.

Anyway... because I didn't telegraph this change very far in advance, if you DO lose something to an explosion coming from using the old wiring system let me know and I will replace it.
