I just implemented a much nicer and easier to understand and control rarity distribution algorithm. Note that this rarity distribution depends on the total number of dimlets and that in turn depends on the total number of biomes, liquids and so on. So balancing this nicely is hard given that...

Ok, I got an idea on how to do the 'tiered dimension builder'. I will change it so that by default dimensions consume power all the time. However, if you craft a new block called the 'Dimension Checker' or something like that (have to come up with a good name) and place that anywhere in your...

The ChromatiCraft pylons and tinkers construct islands actually also appear in Mystcraft void ages so I think this is actually something that has to be 'fixed' with those other mods. I think Reika will prevent chromaticraft pylons from spawning in anything but the overworld in his latest V3...

I actually already have something like this. Currently there are: Normal craftable dimlets using vanilla recipes (paper, redstone, ...) Uncraftable dimlets that can only be found. Craftable dimlets using dimensional shards that you can find in other dimensions.

I decided to release a new beta even though a lot is not ready yet. But a huge deal has changed and I want people to test it out a bit. First a warning. This is a big change and it is *strongly* recommended you start fresh. That means to delete your world and delete the rftools config files to...

Thinking about ways to get dimlets. Here are the current ones: Dungeon/village/loot chests in general. You can (if you are lucky) get a number of unknown dimlets there. Enderman drop (but very rare, about 1/100). The only way to get sustained unknown dimlets if you have an enderman farm going...

That's an interesting idea that I will remember for a future update. In my case I just check if the dimension itself is loaded. That's very efficient. I don't know. Haven't investaged that yet. I'm thinking about ways to solve this problem. I'm thinking about perhaps an item that only...

Interesting idea but I'm not going to do it like that for next release as I don't want to change the mechanics too much. But I will think about incorporating something like this.

I never plan on actually destroying the dimension. It is just that players will be kicked out of the dimension forcibly. When you restore energy everything will be back to normal.

Actually you don't need two places chunkloaded as you can also move the dimension builder to the dimension itself and power it from there. So that should be no problem.

I just implemented support for material modifiers. So you can now actually change the base material of your dimension to (for example) netherack, dirt, stone (default) or diamond blocks, gold ore, gold blocks(!) I have a balance question though about these VERY VERY op materials. I don't want...

Depends on how you want to play but you don't really need anything else besides RotaryCraft. Other mods can help though (EnderIO, TE, ...)

Yes but it would still allow (without drain) other people to come on that dimension. I'm kinda liking my idea of only having the dimension powered if either someone (no matter who) is there and/or a chunkloader is active there. When neither of these conditions is true nothing useful is...

That's also an option but it potentially also has its problems: If you want a nice dimension that you can run unrestricted in you let a player who is about to stop on the server make it for you and your dimension will run unpowered forever. If someone else recreates the same dimension tab to...

Well there is no single 'cost' number associated with a dimension but more like a cost per individual dimlet you put in that dimension. So there are more expensive dimlets and less expensive dimlets. I'm not sure it is a good idea to chunkload myself. I feel that's a decision that has to be...

That's easy to do. I actually had to go to some trouble to remove the bedrock :-)

Yes, I also like interesting maps. However this one isn't very good for a number of reasons. First the way the shape generates for some reason causes immense lag in Minecraft. Also to make matters worse, as soon as the gravel realizes it is floating then all hell breaks loose :-) But I do want...

Can people not delete their own accounts? Not going to try it though.

I personally end up having most fun with custom packs where I pick the mods I want myself. And actually putting together the modpack is in itself a fun job :) Edit: one exception. I *really* liked UHS (Ultra Hardcore Survival) for 1.6.4 a lot and this is one of my few plays where I actually...

Behold! My first island (and admire the broken attempt below it :-) ) The first version of this island looked like this:
