And FTB is under no obligations to keep her mod in a pack either. What's your point? If you want to have a mod included in FTB, then you should be required to communicate status of the mod. That's all. If you can't do that, then frankly, why would you even bother having your mod in FTB?

I refer you to my responses to recklessgamer. Price and quality or two entirely different things. Whether you got it for free or you paid a million bucks for it has nothing to do with the quality of work put into it. I never said I wasn't grateful. In fact I've stated that quite a few times in...

Your straw man argument is just flawed logic. If I get a virus because I downloaded free anti-virus software, do I not have a right to complain about that company? Or am I just out of luck because I didn't feel like shelling out $50 for a "name brand" program?

Seriously? We will have to just agree to disagree, and I vehemently disagree. The dollar amount you pay for something has nothing to do with the quality of work that I can expect the same way that just because you pay more for something doesn't mean it's any better quality.

Absolutely. Because it's free means that quality is not an issue? "Wow, that mod sucks. It's full of bugs that corrupted my world save." "Quit complaining, it was free." No, sorry. That doesn't fly at all.

This is my exact point. It's only been a month, I'm not saying slap Elo in chains and get her to update RP or be dropped. I'm saying that there needs to be a set of standards each mod author must uphold so that FTB can maintain a certain level of quality of service.

I think you misunderstand - yes, it's only been a month since 1.5. I'm not advocating dropping RP right this second. But this is something that I feel should be addressed. Elo is just an example because she's done this before. If any author went 6 months without being heard from, then the FTB...

I learned about FTB from finding VintageBeef's videos on Youtube, so that's why I started out on Mindcrack. Then it snowballed from there and now I want to try out everything. Haha. And thank you. The different packs definitely make a huge difference in gameplay.

You're right, I don't understand. What does holding off and promoting a habit of lagging behind and total lack of communication have anything to do with respecting a mod author? Yes, this is work for free. No one gets paid to make these mods. And it is very much appreciated that we have...

That's like saying, oh this mod has a bug in it, don't like it? It's open source, code a fix yourself. That's fine if you're in a community of developers saying that, but the average "customer" should not be expected to do that. And again - what is the point of FTB at all, then?

No, no, that's not what I meant about open source. Sorry if I wasn't clear. I meant that if you plan on leaving the community, then open up the source to your mod. I didn't mean to imply that the mod must be open source. That's why I said "if" your mod is closed source. Agreed there are plenty...

That kind of defeats the purpose of having FTB at all. The launcher makes it easy to add and remove mods, but you still need a base pack to do so. If the average person was capable of installing Forge, installing the mods they want, resolving conflict ID's, changing configs, etc, then there...

So then use MultiMC. Problem solved. Why punish the rest of us because Elo is lagging behind everyone else? This is a case of putting all your eggs in one basket and getting screwed over it. Elo has a bad reputation for taking months to update her mod. On top of that, it's closed source. This...

While I sympathize that it would set you back hours and hours of work, look at the other side of the coin - FTB could be set back months and months waiting on a single mod. How is that fair to any of the other mod authors who "did the right thing" by keeping to a more timely update schedule? To...

Cool, thank you. I started a SSP with Ultimate but haven't done much on it yet, so maybe I can play around a bit. The Mindcrack game I play is SMP (a server all by myself, actually) but that's why I wasn't familiar with the Power Converters.

Okay, then I'm not sorry ;) Haha Maldroth - Season 5 sounds like it's worth a watch. I only learned about FTB in late December or early January, I forget, and that's where I learned about Beef and the Mindcrackers, so that's what started me on this addiction :P I'm definitely enjoying this...

I have an idea - both fighters go back to your corners and we stop the derailing of this thread. Arguing over who is insulting whom and who has the right to do so is pointless because it will never end. Everyone just relax and get back to the topic on hand, please. RE: the topic - I think the...

Maze slimes drop charms of keeping

Not sure if this applies exactly, but check out docm77's channel. He was setting up a maze slime farm. Different drops, but same concept. Though his was a little ridiculous in scale, honestly. Still worth a peek.

No worries. I think ntwitch had the solution - at that point you have to just edit the config file because there's no way in game to change the keybinding.Speaking of which - that may be a good idea to implement - having the mod check for a keybinding, and if none, pop up a warning that won't...
