Pretty much, there was a bunch of hooting from a few devs that the new blockstate.json stuff was going to result in gigs work of files for things like tubes or complex blocks, Lex of Forge basically said that they are all idiots if they think that. The dev behind Thaumcraft was pretty firmly in the anti-1.8 group, but has started work on his 1.8 version and Thaumcraft pulls a lot of different graphical poo poo so if that mod can update to 1.8 intact, a good deal of the rest of them can and its more a matter, for the majority of mods, of time and effort. I don't expect every mod to update because some people just don't want to gently caress with it, but we are already starting to see brand new mods that are filling in feature gaps from the more massive mods that are missing. For example DrCyano has a mod called Power Advantage that has a very simplified item conveyers () which can pull items from inventories and push filtered items into other inventories, fluid machines () which can drain water from an above source, transport and either insert it into storage or an accepting machine or eject the water out into the world, and a steam powered base machine setup that involves producing steam to power what is essentially a macerator and a 3 slot fast processing furnace. . Power Advantage shows that what a lot of people were worried about in regards to ,json issues are perfectly doable.

4) Alembic have been, to put it simply, nerfed. They didn't really need a nerf, but as things work now it didn't really fit with the new system.

If you're okay with adding mods to Blightfall, AE2Stuff has an inscriber that is much less annoying to use, a crystal growth chamber that you can use instead of water crafting and in the alpha version, a wireless ME connector for use over short distances and this crazy visualization aid:

also approach the floating city from the north as that's where the beacon is, also there is something really nice there

Warp would be neat if it was just cosmetic stuff, but dying in 30 seconds because you got Unnatural Hunger IV and there's not really any good ways to get rotten flesh is stupid bullshit!

Taffer posted:

I've been considering bringing it back for a little while, but I want to do something different because it's been too samey for a while. I'm planning to take a closer look at the immersive engineering mod that was just mentioned once I play through blightfall. If it's good I'll probably start building a pack around it.

It's a bit faster than regular string, but also a bit weaker. Flamestring is the opposite.


A Flux Cap? I tried putting a capacitor on one of my tools and it didn't work at all.

Engines exploding is off by default, there is no perdition (energy loss) any more (it is an experimental feature you can turn on)... what dumber mechanics are you talking about?

BrightGreenLine posted:

It appears Taffer has a bone to pick with KingLemming over EnderIO. Turns out the exchange you're talking about was prompted from Taffer claiming that EIO was faster/less buggy in the previous thread, and KingLemming responded in the previous thread.

No mention of him giving them the code, but an acknowledgement that there really is only one good way to skin that cat.

This may be the wrong thread to ask, but I went ahead and got the pocket edition for a nice bed time game. Are there any mods for it like build craft or industrial or whatever? Anything with quarries and/or ore multipliers? More curious than anything. Doubt these exist but figured I'd ask anyway.

Is there an interesting/entertaining modded MC LP I can watch in the background that isn't direwolf? I don't really care what modpack or whatever it is.

They recently 'finished' lovely spergy HQM pack Blast Off and are now working on lovely spergy HQM pack Journey to the Core over on Duncan's channel, and Sjin's channel (same crew) has their Druidz serieseses

I'd watch the former two if only to hear Lewis completely unravel over time

No, and it's not looking likely anytime soon. Chickenbones, as far as I've heard, has had stuff going on, keeping him away from modding. Just Enough Items is a replacement for recipe lookup and item spawning (and has lots of mod integration, also a JEIaddons exists) If you want the old f7 light level display, get the Just What I Needed mod. The mouse wheel item movement can be replicated with Mouse Tweaks. The other stuff that NEI did, I don't know of a replacement yet.

Hey, I know! Baby's First Space Race needs an item that players can craft from virtually nothing that can send them back to the tutorial dimension. Hmm, well, let's look this up. Okay then, time to write code for an item, a texture, tie it all up with assets, names, blablabla. Oh yes, and the crafting recipes. Okay, let's take it for a spin! What could possibly go wrong?

Well, other than the alpha channel screwing up on the texture the first time and using the wrong file name when I made the texture, the code all worked perfectly fine the first time.

I tried to make the item look like a wooden rattle with a rocket on the end, but it just looks like a dong. That's what I screwed up. Big time.

Vazkii made a smallish modpack focused on a smooth progression of sorts called Proton

You can disable dung in the config, and tree bark works to tan leather instead (even if you don't disable it). I think the wolf cube is possible to make but it's not needed for anything.

Edit: I actually went looking on the BTW Wiki for all the psychotic poo poo I heard was in the mod, like wolves needing to be locked in the dark or tied to racks to force breeding, and I couldn't find anything about it outside of "if a wolf gets sucked into a block dispenser it becomes a companion cube" and "you can cut the companion cube into slabs on the saw". So I don't know if he removed a bunch of weird bullshit or what but overall it wasn't anywhere close to as extreme as I was expecting.

Hey guys I'm bored and I have a fresh amount of free time on my hands. Is there enough interest in an MC server for me to make one? 1.10 probably unless I get frustrated with the lack of certain things (RIP BR, cofhcore, and Opis)

Oh wait, I think I remember hearing about that ages ago. Or was it a different mod that gave the mod author insane privileges on other people's servers?

I've been out of the modding scene for a few years, what's the scene like now? I'm thinking about bringing back my formerly reasonably popular texture pack and was hoping to start a Patreon or something. Is that blasé? Monetization was a big controversy back in the day with ad links and such. I don't know how receptive people would be towards a Patreon (or if it would even be effective).
