XyCraft

[Soaryn]

This thread is still in development, much like my mod. This is a low priority in comparison to my mod.
Intro:

• XyCraft (Zy - Craft) is a mod based on tech expansion. A primary goal of this mod is to try to increase the variety in the "End Game". That said, there will be an upgrade system for most of the Blocks and Items in my mod.

• This is not a chromosome mod. If it was it would be XYCraft rather than XyCraft

• Main Page for info (CURRENTLY OUT OF DATE!): http://xycraft.wikispaces.com/

Current Status: Development with modders.

• Please do not ask for an ETA. That is semi rude and obviously if it isn't updated then it isn't updated

• Do not ask to be a tester. I choose who I choose

• If you want a status update see the change-log: https://www.dropbox.com/s/u8lm3lq796ypgty/ChangeLog.txt

Suggestions:
If you have an idea that you would like to provide, please follow these rules and understand my opinion.

• -Keep them realistic Ideas

• -Keep them balanced

• -Keep in mind I can not use every idea, nor will I

• -Read previous suggestions, and make sure it hasn't been said.

I'll probably be following the wiki.
Seems like you've got alot ahead of you. Good luck

Edit: Do you have a IRC channel or something like that?

 

[Soaryn]

There is a #XyCraft channel; However, until I can get my IRC client to behave, I will not be in it. Last I checked Mead was occasionally in there as he is my only moderator right now.

 

[Canotsa]

I'll join that then. Thanks

i cant find the info, but what exactly is it XyCraft gonna do ?. as in whats your long term vision for this mod ? Xy craft from what i have been told is an upgrade system to minecraft so if the vanila furnace is to slow for you you can upgrade that to make it more faster,efficiant and stuff along those lines but there is alot other things than a furnace you can upgrade in some way shape or form is that right soaryn?

 

[Soaryn]

All blocks or Items I add (and if I can figure out how to make an API) will be upgradable in some way. ie My Gauntlet is a Multi Tool, with stone based features. However you can upgrade it to be diamond tools of each type.

So Base Gauntlet:

• Stone Pickaxe

• Stone Shovel

• Stone Axe

• Stone Sword

Each of those can be upgraded individually, but keep in mind that every upgradable block/item will only have 7 slots available, and upgrade Items dont stack. (Though the effects will)

I just read through most of the wiki and it really does sound interesting this XyCraft thing looking forward to you releasing some more info on the machines expansion!

 

[M3talen]

Thats nice, i think once full it will be awesome

I like the sulphur goop as an alternative to red dye(Yellow may have been more logical but hey)
I think you should add other ways of gaining dyes, i am forever trawling my world for cactus i seem to be very unlucky with deserts thus not been able to get cactus for pipe waterproofing maybe you could make an early game(Bees do it but its awkward i hate bees ) alternative to cactus green

You monster! Bee's are the best!

On topic, i have done a really derpy mod spotlight on xycraft, its uploading now, il post the link in here when its done ^.^

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulfur, when burned it is blue, and it burns into a crimson red liquid
so no...red makes sense

What about bees?

Just wondering, what is going to be different in your mod compared to other mods. Your were talking about how everything is upgradable but there are many mods that have the same system (too an extent). So what is going to be completely new (cannot get it in another way through other mods). I just really mean can you tempt us with something to wet our appetites so we can understand how you plan to bring something new to the mods. The gaulent sounds like a multi-tool, which is great, but nothing amazing. I know it is early in this mod's development but so far I am a bit lost.

 

[adib]

seems interesting, i might play it for a lil.

 

[Loothias]

Just a little thing but can you focus on ores and world generation items first. Helps when updating the mod

 

[justvintage]

if the mod is set for multiplayer as well
(all i know is from 1 the wiki which has little and direwolf mp lets plays)


I Think a good idea would be a sort of crystalline spike that damages enemies or allies that walk within it
it would be good for lets say a mod defense system

But if you also allow this spike block to be pushed by pistons then the amount of use-fullness will be doubled

 

[Silwing]

There is no point in talking about non-multiplayer mods post 1.3.x... Single player is dead, it's simply multiplayer with only one player.

 

[Joeaniator1]

get a cactus farm going when you do find one and would there be a way to altenatly get dyes?

 

[justvintage]

Well defeating the purpose of "multi-player" are you?
thats the most drawn out explanation of single player ive seen
