Quick update. I plan to bring a new server up with 1.4.2 once redpower is out. I also plan to do a 'magic only' server with dustmod, EE3 and Thaumcraft 3 once those are all released.

[forsaken1111]

started building the server to get prepared

You can see my progress there if you're interested. I wasn't sure if I should include gregtech or not, it makes everything harder though which I am all for so I decided to do so.

[forsaken1111]

Server is in closed beta while I test everything. Wow does gregtech make IC2 difficult.

[Djohaal]

gregtech is a mess. It goes like OH LOOK YOU CANGENERATE ONEBILLIONEU, BUT HAS NOUSE FOR ALL THAT POWER TROLOLOLOL!"

Alsothe author doesn't seem to know how to spacebar, and that gets on my nerves.

[Girlinhat]

Anyone who names their mod after themselves is already starting with a handicap.

[forsaken1111]

Perhaps, but I love that it makes things truly difficult. You can't have a bunch of solar panels up by day 1 and yay free power forever.

[Vattic]

Careful judging a mod by it's original post HAYO.

[sluissa]

Is that what added that centrifuge crap? Seriously annoying.

[forsaken1111]

I kinda like the centrifuge. And this time we wont have someone in full quantum on day 2.

I downloaded and tested it, apart from the computer cube reactor simulator being borked, it worked relatively ok. But I don't know, the omnipresent bad spelling gets on my nerves, and lots of other things don't blend well.

Also modular force field mod branches. Immibis versus thunder dark. Discuss!

Personally I like thunderdark's but really they both do almost the same thing. There is little practical difference.

[Djohaal]

I've found thunderdark's version excessively bloated. That forcicum thing is pointless, and the crafting and workflow are worse. Impaired to immibis. Also industrial tesla coils.

   My gosh, I can't really seem to make heads or tails of that gregtech stuff. I don't need to know much but does all it change is how you get some stuff, remove some stuff, and add some stuff? If thats about it I think I can wrap my head around it on my own with some more reading. If it has some weird things I might need them explained or atleast have a place they are explained pointed out to me.

In essence, it makes IC2's progression much more difficult. For example, mining drills require steel if you have railcraft installed. It also allows you to substitute in mod items for some IC2 items. Like I could use forestry circuit boards in place of IC2 circuits if I wanted. It adds some extra endgame and middle tier stuff. All in all after playing with it for two days I quite like it.

Solar panels are much more complex and expensive, so free power is not as easy as before.

   Okay, that sounds interesting though the name keeps throwing me off a little though thats mostly because "Greg" only makes me think of a guy I used to roleplay with who throws the most epic nerd rages.
