Ohh ... maybe I'll install CC just to see what these nether goodies are like? Abusing vanilla mechanics for "fun" and "profit"?

Sky river questions: 1. Are you disabling chunkgen while traveling in those? 2. Can you escape one normally? It looked like you were attempting to leave, but constrained by the tube, except for two occasions. I notice that at the bends, segments of the tube don't overlap properly, leading to...

RTG 1.0 warning: The algorithm for block removal, at least in ravines, is NOT vanilla compatible. There is an option in the config file to use vanilla caving/ravines, rather than RTG's. I recommend this. (I discovered that RTG will generate 6 block thick gravel layers in stone beaches, at...

Yea, TiC mattocks gaining the sum of their head's attack bonus is crazy.

Things to consider to improve ocean temple spawn rates: 1. RTG defaults to much smaller and much rarer cave systems. The config file tells you what numbers to change this to to make the generation match vanilla. Make this change in at least the ocean biomes. 2. From what I have seen of the...

Regarding whether "real-world" is a definition for tech mod / particle physics ... There is a tardis mod. I have not played with it, but when I mentioned a big box that was smaller on the outside, I was thinking of Dr. Who. I don't think "real world" is a good definition of a tech mod, because...

For me, that big problem with the 10 second timer is just that it's a 10 second timer. It's punishing me for being slow with mouse-drag. And I can't even begin to imagine what it's like for players over the network.

Gee, I'm currently editing (back again) my first experience with a boost assist, wing, jet-fuel upgraded, jetpack -- the one with everything added to it. Back from the February dev server. Lets just say I wound up taking it off when I didn't need it. :) Maybe, but consider that air force...

Yep, that's the one. It ... is strange. Some mods have many different types of mana internal to them, perhaps with some partial conversion (nb: I admit to not really understanding, nor using, Thaumcraft, but it has a bunch of different ones, and two flavors of each?) But what kind of "real...

This is the big problem. It is not just Reika; he's just the most obvious. Every tech mod so far has basically had some sort of power production, transfer, and consumption. What's a tech mod? Is it "Uses RF"? I don't think so. Last night I found about an exception to what I am about to say...

If you think RF has just gotten to the "why bother?" point, why not try a tech mod where things matter? Gears and Shafts (RotaryCraft), Flower Power (botania), Sand and Brass (Clockwork Phase), etc. Well, how much RF does it take to run a bedrock breaker at 1 operation per tick? Don't forget...

Hmm: If you were to stick a chunkloader in the chroma dimension, would that prevent it from being reset? (Granted, it wouldn't be a good thing on a server, but for single player...)

BlockPos, as I understand, forces large numbers of temporary objects that fill the eden space very quickly, resulting in large numbers of small collections. This in turn causes the number of small collections that an object survives to cross the threshold of promotion faster; this in turn...

The problem is that forge does not update past revisions after a while. 1.7.10 has gotten more support than any other out-of-date version. People want the features of the new forge to make new mods. That mean updating to a new minecraft. If all of Forge's new features were backported to 1.7.10...

That's Microsoft's craft. === I'd like to see a server-side mod that implements this one-line fix: https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-80966 (Solves the lighting issue in caves with large overheads.)

I've discovered that if it ever happens again, I'd rather pay $200 for a used, refurbished Win 7 laptop than try to reinstall and recover vista. (This laptop: AMD 2-processor. What we decided against: Intel core 2 dual.)

Contracts ... Way back when, contracts were a negotiated agreement between two parties who understood what they were agreeing to, and there were court rulings (aka "case law") based on that. Today, contracts have become non-negotiated, non-negotiable, "take-it-or-leave-it" terms, between two...

The big issue, as I understand it, is that apparently Jaded and others were moved to California for some reason involving Curse, and then fired -- now moved away from where they used to be, away from their old support network, with no warning or notice.

A mod to increase the rate of "place block" in creative mode so that flying upwards can place blocks as fast as it flies upwards. (For 1.7.10 :-)

Draco had a machine specifically for packing the ore drops into a block for sending to Reika's machines. While I don't know the details, from what I understood, he had trouble dealing with a change in the DragonAPI for getting it recognized. (That was for RotaryCraft, not ChrC). As for the raw...
