While this is similar to my point. People need to accept that the developer HAS A JOB (outside of making the mod)... People have lives, and 'normal' people will live those lives.
I don't like the way the developer is doing it either. It's bad programming practice, BUT, it is their mod and their decision on how to do it. If they decided today to scrap everything they've coded, it is their RIGHT to do so. If you don't like it, well, tough... It's open source so go learn Java and develop it yourselves. The developer has absolutely no responsibility to any of you (myself included), it isn't like you paid to 'participate in the alpha' (as some games have been doing).
EE2 may be 'dead' as in not being developed, but aspects of EE2 (many aspects) are intended to be put into EE3.
You may already understand this, and your point may have been the 'mod' EE2 is no longer being updated (period) rather than the concepts are not being continued... I don't know, but I thought I would make this clear for others.
Uh, no, the 'real' transmuting was removed once EMC came about in EE2... The transmuting that we have here (as existed before EMC in EE2) is 'real' transmuting... well, as real as a fictional device can be...
EMC is like separating the protons and electrons (and other sub-atomic structures) from an atom, storing it, and reassembling it into something entirely different at a later date. With modern physics there is absolutely no known way that this is possible (which doesn't even remotely mean that it isn't, simply that there is "no known" way.) rearranging atoms into new molecules on the other hand, we can do with modern chemistry, and is therefore a proven science (or possibility if you want to ignore 'science').
... While this was the original idea of Alchemy, true, it is by far not 'real' transmutation as exists in 'our universe'... One cannot simply add electrons and protons to an atom to get a higher atomic structure (or remove them to get a smaller) as doing so either takes the energy of a star (which would likely destroy the Earth, and by 'destroy' I mean not in the sense of setting off all atomic weapons at once, I mean in the sense of 'Death Star'++), and the other takes an even more complicated function of subatomic physics.
'Real' transmutation is removing atoms from molecules and rearranging them into new and different molecules. So, pencil lead into diamond? Entirely possible. Lead into gold? Not without a much larger Hadron Collider (one that spans the entire planet, or Earth to moon and back... or bigger).
I think that about covers it... * Pahimar has a job, give him some slack (or learn programming yourself). * EMC isn't transmutation, using a process to turn one substance into another (like the original EE2 and current EE3) is. * Gold into Diamond (carbon crystals) isn't atomically possible. Sub-atomically Perhaps, but there is no 'known' way of doing this (yet-so you cannot reference the periodic table to say it is.).
I would think that EMC would be more like converting matter into energy, then re-converting it back into matter.
Oh, and for lead to gold? They've done that already.
Yeah, It was mostly inspired by the thaumcraft 2 thing that did the same.
It could probably be used for something related within Thaumcraft though, After all it's named: Vis Reactor.
You could probably find some uses for converting vis into electrical energy(Lightning) in higher tiers.
It could be used to turn the aspect for power (I don't remember it) into actual power.
I'd suggest reading the comments. Too many people asked for bugfixes and additions to 1.4.7. Those people were stupid enough to think that someone would maintain an outdated version of thier mod.
Anyways, there is no real reason to use 1.4.7. Don't say redpower. Most of it's "unique" features have been added to several mods out there. Mircroblocks, MFR's rednet cables, stuff like that.
I have tried it. I blew 10 thaumium grafters on a silverwood tree and didn't get a single sapling. (this is the feed the beast version, btw).
Seriously, increase the drop rate of silverwood saplings or make them craftable somehow. On the server I'm on I recently encountered a bug where instead of a silverwood tree adding to another pure node, it replaced the entire pure node.
This right here. I regularly use about 70 other mods, 90% which have updated to 1.5.1 and include bug fixes and often tons of new features. Sticking on 1.4.7 is to *cripple oneself* in lust over a mod which no one has any guess as to which month or year it may next update.
I miss Redpower also, a lot. However with a ton of updates and new features down one path and sticking with RP down the other I've chosen the path that is actually progressing. Playing two different instances of Minecraft, one outdated but with RP and another with everything else updated without RP seems just totally nuts to me. I guess it comes down to those who only use RP and no other mods, for them sticking with 1.4.7 makes sense.
You could then use the same argument that, hey screwdrivers broken and bags dupe items in pr6? Just use pr5 on 1.2.5! LOL
Yup. It feels like people obcess over redpower just like EE2. If you'd look, tons of other mods have items that replace them. Rednet cables from MFR, Immibus's microblocks, then you've got vanilla quartz replacing marble. Basalt, i don't know any mods for. But you get the picture? It's not worth staying on 1.4.7 for redpower. Just be patient. I'm sure Eloraam will be done in a few months.
Capturing Ghasts in the saf net makes the ghast invisible (still fires at you) and nothhing is captured in the net.
I know you posted on the FTB forums about Wither Skele's (just captures an ordinary skele) just wondered if you looked into it?
Also is it possible you can make the grinder NOT output into a veterinary station if they are set next to each other? I just filled the Vet stn with empty syringes to stop it (this is more of a nit pick than a bug).
Thanks keep up the great work.
Actually, it captures a wither skeleton, but in order to have an autospawner spawn them, you have to set it to exact copies.
There's a to express my happiness of 125k downloads.
Also, there's not a rule against smileys in a title. So you lose.
I'm not 100% sure.. 1.4 should be 2.0
I hope
Well, thanks for the help. I guess to find the 1.2.5 one, I'll just start at the beginning, and move forwards.
This, is one of the most epic maps I have seen btw, tried it on 1.5.1.
I have to admit, I'm curious as to how you've made it throug the rest of the mod including babies trying to return to their parents before being turned into liquid meat, natually spawning sewage lakes, and the ability to drink milk out of a dirt hole in the ground, but decided that liquid ink was the point at which it became too disgusting.
As for liquid inks themselves, I've thought about it before but I don't think there's enough uses to justify it. Wools just need 16 sheep and a rancher, and how often do people write books ingame anyway?
I make sure all of the meatlings are fully grown before grinding them, it's inhumane to grind baby animals. (Even if i do use growth/zombie syringes) And I also make sure to cover up sewage lakes with a nice, unassuming layer of dirt over the top. The milk thing though, I would have you know I drink my milk out of the finest diamond cups.
But squid bits mixed in with ink? I draw the line there.
It's rude to the books. I'm sure they do not want to smell like raw fish.
And you're right, how often do people write books anyway? Other than maybe a list of things to do if you're absent minded.
Er... Small question, that I'm sure has already been answered somewhere or another. But I seem to be unable to find any previous versions of the mod. I need a 1.4.7 version, not a 1.5.2 version.
The download was removed due to people asking for buxfixes and additions to it.
Only reason to use 1.4.7 is redpower, and Eloraam said it might come out in a little while. Which probably means 1-2 months.
You'll just have to settle with not using tconstruct on 1.4.7.
I have a suggestion once again... how about a sort of more efficient dye system? I was screwing around with Pam's Weee Flowers, and I just randomly thought of liquid dye. Since your mod adds a lot of liquids, why not liquid dye? It should maybe have magma crucible compat, but for MFR maybe two new machines? a machine to grind dyes, a machine to somehow mix dyes, and another machine to dye wool and maybe leather armor with the liquid dye? As with all your liquids, the dye should be able to be placeable, so it would add a lot of aesthetic possibilities.
If you don't like that idea, I also thought of an industrial printing press after I thought about ink sac functionality, along with sugar canes, both very abundant due to the splendid rancher and harvester. As a printing press in real life works, the printing press should be able to "print out" (dupe ) books using paper and leather as fuel to keep it simple ( I thought about unbound and bound books, but that would not match the simplicity of MFR, and quite frankly it is unnecessary.) and as an added cost, if liquid dye is ever implemented, liquid ink sacs could be fed to the press, and obviously, it must be supplied with power. Place an already-written book in a slot, and after a long time (maybe equal to the fisher) it'll output to an adjacent conveyor/pipe an exact copy of the book.
Oh, what's the status about the sludge and sewage ponds? I'm living next to a puddle and I keep falling into liquid poop it's really annoying, and somehow my mind doesn't want to fill in the poo puddle with dirt, so it's either "bucket brigade" or... well that's my only option. I would really love if at least sludge and sewage could be pump-able.
I would think liquid ink sacks would be a bit disgusting, seeing as all the squid matter would be mixed in too. Maybe ink extraction rather than grinding for them.

Out of curiousity, does anyone know how one is supposed to get that much potentia?
The crucible just seems inefficiant.
If there isn't, might I suggest adding a way to get it? Without that annoying flux buildup?

Wouldn't that make the pickaxe similar to red/dark matter tools from EE2?
