    Getting opinions on RotaryFlux and my responses

    Don't get me wrong. I understand fully well how it breaks RoC's progression, though I think your examples are a bit of a case of hyperbole. Thaum's gating and RoC's gating are distinctly different. This would be more akin to allowing you access to the best wands/staves/scepters from the...

    Getting opinions on RotaryFlux and my responses

    You stated that your API opens up the ability to use and generate shaft power. With the right ingenuity one could utilize that ability to turn RF into shaft power on-the-fly without requiring base edits. If they utilized that then I don't think forcing incompatibility is a good thing as then...

    Getting opinions on RotaryFlux and my responses

    My own feelings are ... more complicated on it. If addons don't do base edits to Reika's code then I don't see any solid reasoning for barring such a mod in any way, shape, or form. Yes, even if the design of said mod can influence the mod in an ill way. There's a long history of such...

    New Version Checker Mod

    I actually had a couple odd thoughts come up in conversation with Reika a day or few ago. Would it be within the scope of this mod to be a version checker for Curse-hosted modpacks as well as mods? If so, could the nature of mod update notifications change to be less ... prominent if the...

    Mod Feedback Thermal Series Design/Feedback

    Here's the thing about power gen and why I believe neither BC nor TE have generators that make absurd amounts of power. Power is useless without something to utilize that power. Neither BC nor TE have crazy-high-end power consumers, therefore including crazy-high-end power generators is...

    Please don't let it. You make wonderful mods and there are still lots of people here that do respect alla you modders for making the stuff that we're all here discussing and playing on a daily basis. You're awesome. Keep being awesome. Also, I can't imagine Thaumcraft without Forbidden Magic...

    Today the FTB community on Reddit made me sad. They don't even want to have a discussion. >.<

    New Version Checker Mod

    Will this be on starting up the MC client or on connecting to a world? I'll cross my fingers as that's my only real concern about it. Cool! This would be a cool feature if it was there because then that gives users of modpacks notifications for things they can update. Hmm ... maybe have it...

    New Version Checker Mod

    I welcome a centralized mod checking mod. I think it's a wonderful idea. I really do. I'm only concerned about highly intrusive methods of communicating those updates. If one can get all those updates where I can see them neatly? Awesome! That could really clean up the chat box on launch...

    New Version Checker Mod

    You misunderstand my position. CoFH will bypass your config options to tell you in chat. And only for truly critical things. I can live with that, even if I don't agree entirely as it's informative yet not too intrusive. You could even put a link to the update itself with that method...

    New Version Checker Mod

    As one who actually works in server administration, I'm well aware of what 'critical' is supposed to mean. Be that as it may, without the ability to not have popups and the like then I assure you that many will avoid it in favor of less intrusive methods if there is no ability, even if hidden...

    Mod Feedback Thermal Series Design/Feedback

    A couple questions: For Thermal Expansion, is there any way we could augment/enchant/upgrade caches to show the 'traditional' item count on the front? Also for Thermal Expansion, have you considered a 'tree' variant of the Phytogenic Insolator or some method of 'tree farming' aside from axes in...

    New Version Checker Mod

    If the intent is for widespread use, know that having any popups or spam requiring manual intervention to close, even if for 'critical' updates, will cause many to avoid it like the plague.

    The infamous Iskan has a new HQM modpack! Atonement!

    Reika's Update Checker

    Option two. It's excessively rare that modpacks have the newest versions anyways and when I encounter an issue with any of my modpacks the first thing I do is test again with the newer mod versions in a private instance to see if it still persists. That's a step that should always be taken...

    Reika's Update Checker

    Perhaps work on your clarity, then, as I'm not the only one who misinterpreted your statement. I recall that thread quite clearly. I believe he was making use of hyperbole and thus my 'disagreement' or, to be more accurate, me defining it a bit more specifically. Which is why I'm in...

    Reika's Update Checker

    He likely wants that option for the same reason *I* do. To hide update notifications from the end user as they're not the pack maintainers. He knows what he's doing, just as I do. To allude that he doesn't know what he's doing is pretty insulting as he has a *hell* of a lot more experience...

    Reika's Update Checker

    The unfortunate truth. >.< A modpack creator should have a version with the alerts turned on for themselves, no? I know I run with mine on as it's crucial that I know. Not that I need to with how frequently I frequent and contribute to the 'What's New' thread, but that's neither here nor...
