Phoenix Team - One Year Anniversary Party! - AUA (Q&A)

[chbachman]

OK, real questions.

* What has been the best design decision in any of your packs?
* What has been the worst design decision in any of your packs?

Including modular armour in our packs.

Not including modular armour in our packs.

Which mod or modder from days gone by do you wish was still around/updated?

 

[mattp_12]

Okay, my turn with a question!

If the sun is exactly 60 inches in diameter, and the square root of pi is 61, how come my sweatshirt is red?

 

[EchoingZen]

I find the design decisions based around Pathfinder to be the most interesting. I wasn't involved in the slightest except as a spectator, so it was interesting as an outsider to see things like "let's give the player a creative dimension builder so they can really tinker with this mod properly." We don't see that a lot in modpacks yet, giving away creative toys as an important pack design. I won't be surprised if this sort of thing becomes more common in modpacks.

I really like the idea behind Pathfinder. It's unique, that's for sure. It's been on the back burner until it gets updated but I look very much towards playing it again.

Pahimar! I think he's still around but I miss the good old days of EE2, overpowered as hell, yes, but so much fun!

That's a trick question, it's a potted plants, because aliens don't wear hats.

Wrong! It's obviously because of how aliens DO wear hats! Purple hats to be specific.

But surely such would imply that pet rocks do not possess tupperware containers?

Mine's weird: @jakimfett and Minechem.

That mod has a ton of potential. It can stand in for equivalent exchange but with a (somewhat) more balanced angle. It requires machines for its conversions and has a nice sciency feel. Also you can use it to make illegal substances. I even know what trinitrotoluene is thanks to that mod.

edit: he's still sorta active according to github but he also dropped activity on Particle Physics, which was also a cool mod

Of course pet rocks possess tupperware containers! Everybody knows that! The real question is if logitech webcams secretly have tupperware containers and are learnin g their secrets to form a rebellion against the pet rocks.

huzzah, the thread is derailed! thanks to the woodchuck chucks! *ahem*

Say, if you could wish a mod of your design into existence, what would it be?

 

[mattp_12]

Okay, real question time... If you could change a mod that you didn't like a certain aspect of, what mod what it be and what would you change?

 

[malicious_bloke]

Which mustelid would you most like to own as a pet/army?

Tepigs

A mod focused on swords -- not quite modular swords though. My idea would consist of an extensive amount of different materials, with different properties and rarity, which you would find either by defeating quests, mining or something like that, and by forging them together, in different ways, you would get entirely different swords. All with different stats, and properties, however, their very forging and the magic within their meaning would make them stronger. Specific, I know -- but it does sound cool.

Which mustelid would you most like to own as a pet/army?

All of them.

It's an AMA/AUA, what did anyone really expect?

Never would've guessed. ;D

Thaumcraft. Make it less daunting to do ALL the research without it being as easy as easy mode. don't ask em how, just not that horrendous minigame.

By minigame do you mean using the research table?
