    I hate the fact that it now will use RF in 1.8.9, RF is extremely easy to make, it made IC2 difficult and fun at the same time, now with stuff like the mass fabricator it will produce millions, upon millions, of UUm per tick, all because of the RF thing, anyone else's feelings on this?

    i am against the idea of having one power source for everything
    as it made it fun to find ways to bridge the gap between mods

    I'm glad, I get tired of changing power. It would be nice if all mods that used power was the same (RF) since it is the most common, they could just change how much RF it costs.

    I mean we already just used mainly rf for our ic2 machines on infinity expert mode, this will just let us skip the conversion step I guess. Although I do feel the loss of multiple power systems is a shame

    yep mix that with cyro conduits
    and blood magic plus 5 lightning rods = a ton of power
    able to fill around 80+ reasonant energy things in about 3-5 minuets[DOUBLEPOST=1459463619,1459463594][/DOUBLEPOST]so just think of what you can do with a mass fab

    You have no idea if this is true. With tons of mods that give tons of RF, the UU matter system could be changed entirely. Its a major part of IC2 and I would be very surprised if it were overlooked.

    Also, most people that Ive seen dont even make IC2 power. Converting RF to EU via IE cables is very, very common. So I dont see a problem with it. If you personally dont want it to be easier, the only use IC2 power generation for your builds. *shrug* how does it effect you personally if someone else uses a big reactor.

    In the end, the game is about having fun. If you want a challenge, only use IC2 machines to power other ic2 machines. Doesnt matter if the label has changed, as proper EU hasnt worked since IC2 1.3 (EU Packets). If someone else wants to make it easier by using RF, then let them. We were already doing it anyway ;)

    It still is sad to see it go away, EU was fun, and the lightning rod and nether star generators being able to create trillions of rf per few minutes doesn't help it, if UUM exists AT ALL and is generated straight from RF like it would be, it'd have this effect

    Well, like I said. What other people do with their power shouldn't really be a concern. If you want the challenge, then just dont use those types of power gen for your machines.

    If I were on the same server as you, and I was using massive amounts of power to create UU matter (Which, btw, on other servers that allow world creation, you can make endless oceans of UUmatter, so I dont see your point) how does it effect you or dampen your personal gameplay?
