    I'd be good with explosions enabled. Except the creeper ones.
    In that case we'd still need protection. So other players cant just bring tnt with frames in your base or something. one never knows how crazy the ppl are. :)

    Even vanilla tnt cannons from outside claimed chunks. Definitely need protection from those.

    Creepers definitely a no the map will look like shit in no time people can use them to grief without getting caught (blowing peoples front lawn up)

    machines i would rather them not i predict seeing to much complaining when its as simple as a transformer not working on the chunk loading then someones whole production line will blow up not to mention the learning curve and those little mistakes people make past 10 pm

    tnt possibly in your own claimed chunk and no man land (not claimed land) but definitely block it in other peoples claims

    itnt no could crash the server with it

    nukes definitely not

    over all i don't see a reason to add needles lag

    I'd say not add Gregtech Machine Explosions (although i do agree with adding TNT/Nuke/Etc Explosions) , because of newbies making mistakes or even the experienced can make mistakes, and I think that we should not get punished for those mistakes.

    The downside to creepers in case most haven't thought about it is, that some machines and chests can store a lot of items, enough to crash the server or cause significant lag. I once broke an indexer accidentally, it had over 5000 bees in it, crashed the server several times, creepers could of blown that up had they been enabled and caused the same server crash.

    If it doesn't make the TPS worse, I am all for explosion EXCEPT creepers. Leave the creepers as is >.>

    Personally I am fine with explosions, I just wish I had known about them being on before I blew up half my basement trying to figure out how to pick up industrial TNT. The animations of them detonating and the actual explosions were delayed significantly due to lag I assume, so I did quite a bit of damage before I realized it >.<

    I say yes to explosions but consider this: One wrong click or neglect of transformer upgrades will not only cause that awesome centrifuge to blow up, but everything in the surrounding ~7 radius around the machine.

    I had a power pipe explosion so I shut off the
    adjustable electric engine and replaced the pipe
    to my Surprise the second gold power pipe exploded
    Killing me. Explosions should take out the equipment
    But block and player damedge should not happen.

    In unclaimed chunks it would be fine to enable explosions.

    The block and player damage is what we are talking about. Explosions without block and player damage are, well, not explosions. Also, if I remember correctly, SK may make it so explosions only happen on your own claimed land when the explosion is caused by yourself.
