I've used fission reactors and fusion reactors and I love them. Though I believe that it's more a point of offering the possibility than choosing which one is the best. In the worst case, I don't know how AlgorithmX2 planned to do the powergrid, but it could be possible to do a crossover addon to AE and UE to allow the use of UE, assuming only BC and IC2 will be supported by AE. Or a conversion of UE electricity to IC2.
But I agree, it's not the same feeling from IC2 or BC to UE, but I love the three.

To be honest, supporting 2 different grids correctly, is really the same as supporting X number of grids, with a little extra work to for each new grid ( to use the API and such ) so in the end adding an additional source of power is really of no consequence once the infrastructure is there, assuming that the way electricity works isn't radically different or anything.
Even if I end up doing just the two, if someone wanted to make a UE->AE mod to add UE support, I wouldn't be against it by any means I'd provide the tools needed for it if someone wanted to do it when the time comes.
I've got a pretty nice sized list of things to do and at this point it boils down to "I've never tried UE" and I'm not going to add support for something I personally haven't played with I just don't think its fair that I don't have a feel for it and how it works, that's just how I want to do things.
Of course that also means that I might play with it at some point too .
I know saying this will only make everything more complicated, but.... what about bluetricity as a power source now that redpower is updating again? I'll probably wind up using ic2 power for everything, but just to make sure we've got all the bases covered.

Eloraam doesn't have a public API, I also think that her electricity works differently, so I'm not sure what I can say on that front, shes shared some stuff previously ( Wires with CC for instance ) but I'm not sure if its worth the extra effort, in any case that's for another day.
and by "world ending" I mean I get that crash every time i try to load the world.. i would say its an interaction with mystcraft as it happend on a return trip from my mineing age but i was jumping between ages for awhile
with no problem. judging by the crash report it seems to have to do with the Controller block

I'm sorry to hear that, It was an easy enough bug to fix, but I'm not in a position to release a new build at this time, I currently only have the rv3.a ( alpha ) code with me, which is buggy right now.
I'll get a new official build out to fix this as soon as I can this will probably be in about 3 hours.
Official - Unoffical Fix
ONLY If you cannot wait, [Link Removed] provides the fix, this is a kinda of rv3 -> rv2 pack port; i'm not sure if there are other bugs in this build, I fixed everything I found but this build is not well tested, I would suggest backing up your world prior to using this build, just in case.
Will the rv3.a be the autocrafter or is that still a wip?btw i use mystcraft so far have not had a problem entering/exiting my mining age yet so ill be one of the guys who waits for the official release.
Lol no rush dude..
if its out in the next 3 hours that is soon enough for me
on a different note
I am not sure if its possible but would you be able to make your quarts crystals be in the ore dictionary along with Xycraft's Quarts?
( I know what the ore dictionary does but not how it works)
or do you think Xycraft quarts is to common?
and i thought you said the grinder could work on anything i through at it... I put a piece of steak in.. and didn't get any ground beef.. :'(

That release is basically the same as rv2.c its just got a a bug fix for that issue, there are no new items / features.
The issue might be related to chunk loading, however, I'm not entirely sure, as I can't create the error myself, I just fixed what the crash report told me.
If anyone else has that crash, and wants to resume playing they can try that build.

Ok, I've got my quartz in the ore dictionary, not sure if its the same as XyCrafts tho, or even if XyCraft uses the Ore Dictionary, personally I haven't found "Quartz" in XyCraft just a ton of that XyCraftium ( not real name ) and what not. Tho I'm changing how i'm using the Ore dictionary next build, as I found a silly mistake on my part. Involving ore vs crystal ( ingot ) form.
I meant it can grind ores / ingots from other mods I don't have enough time on my hands to make -dusts- for every item in the game, lol.
lol i was just kidding around about the ground beef .. ( tho i did actually try to make it just for S**ts and giggles)
as far as xycraft quarts its those greenish blue crystals that look alot like the old Thaumcraft crystals I am kinda surprised if you haven't found any the stuff seems like its everywhere for me.
i would say its far easy to find than your Quarts but you end up with about the same amount at the end of a mineing expedition or atleast if you count the crystals and dust together, thats what iv found to be true anyway

Hmm, Maybe I just never looked at the name...
Are you adding Crystal + Dust or Crystal + Dust/4 when you are comparing the totals?
My Dusts can be compressed ( IC2 ) into Crystals, but it takes 4 to do that, which is what you get if you pulverize/macerate/grind a crystal.
crystals + Dust/4 is what i used
tho to be fair my calculations are abit scewed as im using a maxed Fortune enchant
and i probly didnt grab every Xyquarts i came across as im so used to them being good for nothing
oh and as far as flower is concerned yeah I made some as it was one of the few things I had on hand to test the grindstone, kinda nice saves 1 wheat per loaf of bread

I dunn if its been said but i created an age in mystcraft an i can't seem to find your quartz dunno if it is a problem on your end or mine sincei havnt restarted my map (since i have most of what i wanted done) but just incase im just not seeing it what level/biome does it spawn in or around.

I just took a look, I was able to find Quartz in a Mystcraft world, in a no-standard biome, as long as the area is new and your using rv2.c or rv2.d it should spawn just fine.
Alright i found some (not a whole bunch but enough) but i was wondering if you have given it some thought about upping the ME cable amount you get from crafting since machines take the crystals and the cable take dust four seems a lil low to me when BC/log pipes gives 8 pipes for their crafting recipes.
But I agree, it's not the same feeling from IC2 or BC to UE, but I love the three.

You can grind wheat tho...

Hehe, Out of curiosity has any one actually made flour yet?
I really didn't list it anywhere or anything but it is in there.
Hmm, Maybe I just never looked at the name...

can you make it so that when you place a preformatted disk into the Peformatter it shows the items already formatted on it?
Hah, that might squew the results, hehe.
Sure, I'll add that to my list.
And by "add that to my list" I mean here you go.
Build D is out!
Fixed the crash, and added Pre-formatter Re-Population!
Edit:
Additionally if anyone was curious, the current build is also compatible with 1.4.7, and 1.4.6 so no worries about the new MC version.
I just took a look, I was able to find Quartz in a Mystcraft world, in a no-standard biome, as long as the area is new and your using rv2.c or rv2.d it should spawn just fine.
its kinda erratic no limits on the Biomes.
You must be below sea level, Your chances of finding it improve with depth, but are not a factor in finding it.
If you can find most other ores, you will probably be able to fine Quartz.
