    32x [32x] JohnSmith Technician's Remix

    Is there a list of mods that haven't been unstiched yet? I'll soon be working on updating the customized pack for Feed The City for 1.5+ and I'd be willing to contribute back; I'm well familiar with git and have a github account so I could do pull requests.

    The Future of FTB Modpacks.

    Forge includes a hook that allows modders to say "Mod X and Mod Y should not be used together, remove one or the other in order to load the game". It would be problematic for FTB if a mod in the pack decided to exercise this but it would not run afoul of this policy, according to the TS convo...

    Mod Pack Update

    What's the hold up for making Ultimate 1.0.2 (for 1.4.7) a Reccomended Build? It's been listed as Testing for three weeks, what needs to be done to call it Live?

    So for those that don't know, Thaumic Bees does a few things with its bees that depend on phases of the moon. The JS moon sprite sheet only includes unique images for full, new and crescent moons. Having the rest is not a terribly hard job, so I added them myself and am submitting the result...

    Got it, thanks. All updates are for 1.4 unless otherwise noted?

    32x [32x] JohnSmith Technician's Remix

    Hi, is the rolling changelog still updating and have there been any updates to the 1.4 version of the pack since March 21? It makes sense to me that people will be working on 1.5 now but I need to do at least one more custom pack merge for the FTC server and don't want to miss anything.

    Tree Breeding (Spoilers)

    I got Wenge in a shrubland (Extra Biomes plains variant). I did see a few Acacia leaves mutate but they were rare. I didn't get any mutations in the desert, and I had to return to the normal climate for the desert acacia. I also want to note that breeding trees with an extreme height...

    Thankyouthankyouthankyou! Meanwhile, here's a fixed Railcraft loader. I copied and pasted it together from existing elements so I won't swear to it being high quality, but it should be at least usable.

    Tree Breeding (Spoilers)

    I have had natural vanilla trees crossbreed just fine, including the aforementioned large stretch of accidentally crossbred jungle (where the trees are jungle but the undergrowth is oak leaves) and my willow-producing area (where I used vanilla birch saplings with the local oak).

    Tree Breeding (Spoilers)

    From my work, I'm pretty sure Kapok is also a jungle-only mutation. It's also a somewhat slim chance. From playing with things in Creative, I found that Sipiri won't even grow unless it's in a jungle or similar (I think I got it to work in ExtraBiomes Mini Jungle). Also, my automated...

    Have you noticed that several of the most recent updates in the rolling changelog have been Gregtech stuff? :P

    Whoever's working on xycraft, do you plan do add textures for the alternate style xycorium bricks? (Called Laira bricks in the config, need to be enabled to see it. They're called that because Soaryn put them back in mostly to make Morvelaira happy. ;) In the Dec 29 copy of the pack I last...

    Feed the City [Ultimate Pack][1.4.6][Whitelist][Survival][Filmed]

    I couldn't get on before my flight on Sunday, and my little netbook would melt under the weight of the full FTB pack, so save mine for when I get back, mkay? Merry Christmas guys.

    32x [32x] JohnSmith Technician's Remix

    No promises, but I have enough experience and some amount of motivation (I'm on the Feed the City crew where we're using this pack) to try my hand at an alternate GUI style or a few. Just not something I can start very soon.

    32x [32x] JohnSmith Technician's Remix

    Speaking as someone who has done design, including UI design, this is a very misguided sentiment. A UI, first and foremost, has to work; looking good is a bonus. There's a title of a very well regarded book on UI design that sums it up: "Don't make me think." A UI that gets in the way of the...

    Painterly doesn't have a lot of mod support, alas. I've cherry picked a handful of items to make a point: can you identify the glass panes in this picture? How about the IC2 carbon fiber plates and mesh? My GUI experience about matches Dekar's above, but it's harder to see the darker the...

    32x [32x] JohnSmith Technician's Remix

    Is there an option for GUIs with a light, or at least more opaque background? The existing ones are a lot of dark-on-dark and hard for me to read.

    Feed the City [Ultimate Pack][1.4.6][Whitelist][Survival][Filmed]

    I got 10 apiaries made and placed near the house along with the Forestry machines to support them, with help from the tech guys wiring them into the system. There's also signs by them explaining what's what and what even non-bee people can do to keep things going in the absence of someone who...

    Feed the City [Ultimate Pack][1.4.6][Whitelist][Survival][Filmed]

    I did it in my FTB insanity map to help power geothermal generators, instead of just turning EMC into lava. In hindsight, lava cells plus a collector and condensers would be easier but I already had the purebred demonic bees, figured they should be put to ongoing use. ...in fact, what I...
