    I think Multiplayer is the gamemode where people spend more time focusing, and complaining on what others are doing, instead of focusing on what your doing.
    You don't like the price they sell Nether Stars for? Don't buy them.
    You don't like an easier method of something? Don't use it.

    It's simple, you don't want it, don't use it, others can do what they want.

    well, as there are converters in most modpacks it was about time to change something.

    transvector interface and draconic or big reactor made it way to easy to produce tons of uumatter even without recycler

    Soon as I saw this headline I thought, this has gotta be an april fool's.. While I dislike IC2 in general, I do like the way they do packets with power. Makes for an interesting change of pace in how you think about your systems.

    I personally think it took far too long. I always felt that IC2 just needed to give up it's pride and actually play nice with other mods.

    TO everybody out there, I slightly agree with rf instead of EU but at the same time, I don't. I don't agree on a certain degree since the whole point of ic2 is making renewable energy sources (almost all the time its ultimate hybrids) which is what I am doing right now, what is good about the mod is just making the iridium but there's other mods that allow you to get iridium so easy. I got tons of iridium from a dungeon spawning ritual which I can find iridium all day. But what would break the mod is if RF could be directly pumped into mass fabricators.. Mass fabricators accelerate as long as you input power in them and if someone had a tier 7 cell with like 300 billion rf you would instantly have like half of a bedrockium drum's worth.. But if we enable this, more people will go to solar power which is more server friendly because it has no animations and it produces a TONNNN of power if you have an array and its eco friendly. So my conclusion is that it's a lag reducing feature but it kinda ruins the point of obtaining iridium type of thing. That's just me I am uncertain!

    That's an addon, not part of the main mod, also no animations =/= server freindly, i've seen TWO blocks that are not animated that could take out 14 tps together, and solar pannel madness would be just as bad as anything else

    Though it makes the mod much easier, it also makes setups a lot more compact, as now everything uses RF. Honestly, I like the change a lot more than most, as this will inspire people to invent newer ways to automate production in much less space.[DOUBLEPOST=1459712751][/DOUBLEPOST]btdubs, not dead

    when i saw this article, i was really hoping it was true. ic2, stop being stubborn and just use RF! that's where all the other mods are going!
    not all modpacks have those transformers, so people would have to setup either a bunch of universal cables (mekanism) or make an entire new power system just for EU, and keep in mind few packs have those EU->RF and RF->EU power converters.

    That's the thing everything is 50/50 the 50% loves EU the other 50% hates it and want it RF, no matter what changes there always will be the half that will hate the change

    I liked Rotary craft Speed and Torque, had to actually convert the power to right combo.
