I would very much appreciate a compiled verion of Poschengband. It does not matter what version it is, as long as it is good, I shall play it!

Try this: https://1drv.ms/f/s!Asycth9nrmPTrmjgKI957P_SYZiv

It probably depends on the visual c++ 2010 redistributable so if you get any errors about missing .dlls, install that.

Looks like the maintainer has killed this variant, so I doubt that group is still active, and the github was deleted a month or so back. You wont likely find a binary for this one anywhere, but the source is preserved in the angband variants repository.

Compiling your own shoudn't be too hard, the readme has basic instructions. Install visual c++ 2010 express, open the .sln file, hit ctrl-shift-B and sit back.

1) Set aside time to eat, sleep and go to work. Maybe set an alarm.

2) Press ALT. Makes it much easier to see whats going on.

3) Figure things you for yourself. My brother has a beautiful factory full of elegant, efficient designs mostly copied from katherineofsky, and is bored of the game.

Cant you use the Ender book to avoid traipsing up and down the mines?

The light level overlay was a feature of NEI that didn't make it into JEI. You could install Just Enough Buttons or  Light Level Overlay Reloaded to get a similar feature.

I know my internet isn't great, but I feel like maybe it's the virtual LAN that's making it completely unplayable. Does anyone have any experience with this? Is Evolve no good? Is there another option now that Hamachi has imploded? Or is it really just my internet, and I have no options until I save up enough money to move to a neighborhood with faster internet?

Its probably your internet, modded minecraft demands a lot of bandwidth and a 10kbps upload is nowhere near sufficient. That said, it might be worth getting rid of the virtual LAN - the person hosting the server needs to set up port forwarding, then you can connect directly. Failing that, you could pay for a professionally hosted server, your own download is still on the low side for minecraft but it should work better than trying to host on your connection.

The tutorial told me to fire my gun by pressing ctrl, pressing ctrl does nothing. I quit.

I really, really want to enjoy this game but even the tutorial is incredibly obtuse and slow. The buttons you need to press only appear on your screen for a few seconds and then theyre gone forever, so gl if you missed them. The tutorial tells you to dock, and then you have to figure out that the point wasnt to trade, the point was to just undock immediately after docking.

Did you take the trader start? If its like X3:TC, that start gives you a ship with no weapons and the tutorial does not account for that. Which is bloody stupid and should have been fixed for AP, but Egosoft have never been that great at polishing the details.

1) Create a new instance in MultiMC, selecting a vanilla instance of the correct minecraft version.
2) Launch that instance to download minecraft into the instance folder.
3) Copy everything from atlaunchers instance folder to the MultiMC instance folder
4) Adjust the settings to give a reasonable amount of RAM to Java
5) Adjust instance settings to adjust java versions, memory etc for each modpack

Maybe. You might have another issue, but if you're using a modpack for 1.6.4/1.7.2 then that would be the first guess at a fix. Failing that, I checked and MultiMC does allow for per-instance settings, so you could use different Java versions for different packs.

You don't. At least not in ATLauncher, which lacks per-instance configurations. Maybe MultiMC can do it?

However, the only problem I know of that would require different versions of java is the bug in forge for 1.6.4/1.7.2 which requires a bug that was fixed in Java 8. If thats the issue, then it would be better to fix it using this patch:
http://www.minecraftforum.net/forums/mapping-and-modding/minecraft-mods/2206446-forge-1-6-4-1-7-2-java-8-compatibility-patch

Rather than install an old and insecure version of java.

I am looking for a new technology based modpack to try. I am looking for something with some complexity but not really the Gregtech grind bullshittery.
I'd say rotarycraft, but its not in many packs. If your willing to throw a pack together yourself, its very powerful but only once you learn to use its machines.

I ragequit infitech 2 after I had a transformer blow up half my machine park (which is complete bullshit How the fuck does a transformer without any moving parts blow up even if it does get too high voltage).
They get hot enough to ignite the insulating oil. It can be quite a spectacular show. Not sure if infitech 2's explosions are excessive, but an overloaded transformer can do serious damage in the real world.

8 tiles for the loco, then its 7,7,8,7,7 8,7,7,7,8,7,7,8... tiles for each wagon, off the top of my head and only for horizontal stations. And the eighth inserter may or may not connect because the hitbox is slightly larger for wagons with a connected wagon, I know the third wagon only has eight inserters if a fourth wagon is present, not sure on wagons 6, 10 or 13.

In short, it's a mess and one of the best features of 0.13 will be the fixes to train lengths.

With just two people, it makes no difference. You wont use any bandwidth to talk to the server because its on your computer, your mom will use bandwidth. Which can be as low as 3kb/s if you turn the quality all the way down, and will only be used when one of you is talking.

You can run a teamspeak server for up to thirty people for free. You can drop the bandwidth use at the cost of quality. I can't compare quality with other programs because most of my family have crap mics and lots of echo.

Ventrillo has something similar but I don't know the terms of the free server or how it compares to teamspeak.

It nerfs power generation, makes research much more expensive, and makes most production more expensive. The game is supposed to take about ten times longer.
