Open and Misc peripherals are saving graces , though other mods introduce the same features they did with their mods . like player detectors It ' s power shines when used with other mods , but at the same time it ' s power is depreciated by other mods . You have to choose modpacks carefully if you want the power of computer craft to feel like a worthwhile invention . Imagine spending 3 hours getting some code to work with error correction , checking block types , filevariablepersistence and turtle GPS location . Meanwhile Joe schmoe next door quarried out the entire location identical in dimensions , and where you had to carefully ensure your turtle doesn ' t get lost or get stuck in a cobble gen loop . he stuck a diamond pipe to make sure his base at home wasn ' t overwhelmed with the cobble income and rerouted the coal he acquired from mining back to his Survivalist Engines to selfsustain with all of it ' s exploitative abilities now depreciated , you really have to stretch your imagination and interactions with the web protocols available , or go balls deep and keep interaction in mind while you lay out your base , keeping in mind many times every face on a block is necessitated to be covered or utilized and CC isn ' t forge microblock compat w the wires so you trade off aesthetics for function yet again in some casesYes , I know a lot of my dislikes are about balance and power , but it was that Computer Craft is depreciated in what it can do in this stage and that hurts the enticement to even get involved . Open Computers however .
