Man, ultimate hasn't been updated since for ever. And there have been some pretty big updates, with nice content and all. But updating was opted out off in favor of 1.5. That was opted out off in favor of redpower. Now we're REALLY waiting on rp and doing an 1.4.7 update is being opted out off because it's too late to do an 1.4.7 update and might show incompetence. So we're basically stuck with an very out of date pack, with some bad configs.

Politically, it's easier for the team to "wait it out" and get a full release for 1.5.1 out.

Which might take a biiiiiiit longer.

Which sucks.

Also, I hate corporate thinking.

I doubt he gave an eta of today since updates are on tuesday. But maybe he was insane at the time.

Also there is a huge news item in the luncher it self that basicly says they would most likely go to 1.4.7 frist then jump to 1.5

So lets talk about timetables. Right now we are going to be putting out (it may already be out by the time you read this) a final version of 1.4.7 Ultimate that includes the final versions of all 1.4.7 mods. This is essentially in the hopes that it clears up some final nasty little bugs that were lying around. Whether or not the DW20 and Mindcrack packs update is up to Direwolf and the mindcrack guys and I will be in touch with them to clarify what they want. (It should be noted both of these packs are considered stable, and the bugs we want to clear up in Ultimate dont affect either of these packs). The plan is to get a closed beta version of the 1.5 pack onto the launcher in the next couple of days and then assuming that everything goes OK and the mods are deemed stable, we hope to make these packs available to everyone either this monday (April 22) or the following Monday at the latest (April 29)

Check the bolded thing. Also, remember the meaning of ETA... ESTIMATED time of arrival.
Also, booking 2 days off work to play a videogame that was never confirmed to be released, stupid much?

ETA = Entitled Time of Anger

;P

There is a 1.0.2 Ultimate (for minecraft 1.4.7) available in the launcher, you have to manually select it in the version drop down. Just be aware if you use gregtech you may see weirdness and game breaking changes, because the gregtech version is a beta.

ETA is next week

Oh so there will be a 1.4.7 update?

YES, THEY'RE ADMITTING TO THEIR MISTAKES, I CALL GROSS INCOMPETENCE. JOHNSON, YOU'RE FIRED.

I'm glad.

The 1.4.7 update is only for the ultimate pack and basically updates most of the mods to the latest versions for 1.4.7. Just expect a lot to change with Gregtech as he redid a lot of his mod for this update. For one you can now upgrade his machines to make a lot of them faster by doubling the speed but doing so times their power draw by 4. So putting a over clocker on your electrolyzer or blast furnace will make it draw 512 EU/t and if you upgrade them enough they will take over 8k eu/t to run. Also all the easy recipes to double your circuits are gone and replaced with a few additional machines and steps that nearly make the process pointless to use.

As for the 1.5.1 beta pack that has yet to be announced and looking at the list of mods updated to 1.5.1 and the fact that Eloraam is alive may change slowpokes plans.

From the stream yesterday, he is planning on releasing something today, it just depends on what version of today, and what timezone.

From what I recall, there are a few new mods that are being played with for it, too.

What's confusing is why the bad configs persist. Several things are configured incorrectly and these are low-cost pushes.

Technically, it is about to be Tuesday here in London. I've been awake since 9 AM PST, if you remember how we do not sleep on London time, But California Time, because of where my Father's associates work and how they can't sleep late.

I've dug into the DW20 configs as that's the only modpack where I have had a single player world, Ultimate's configs are a mystery to me, I play on a server with that modpack.

I saw 1.0.2 and I was mad that it didn't have new MFR and liquid stuff.

But it did have the ASP config fix and the new GT upgrades, so now I can power machines with MJ. So I'll be playing Gregtech now.

1.0.2 has a newer MFR just not the newest. Acording to the update thread it should have the upgradable machiens and the bioreactor both things I vary much look forward to.

I'd love to use all this stuff but some of the stuff on the wiki isn't even updated to the first ultimate version. :l

Mm, will do. I usually stay away from MCForums as it's incredibly laggy for me (I'm guessing from the ads and huge page sizes) and factorization info is nowhere to be found.
