I don't know if I dreamed this or if this ever was a configuration for geostrata, but was it possible if you mined the geostrata stones with a normal pickaxe, it'd drop normal cobblestone, but if you used a silk touch pickaxe, it'd drop the geostrata stone? or was that with another mod...
Not GeoStrata.

The reason I don't like the GeoStrata rocks is becuase they're not microblock/multipart compatible.

You don't have to use it. Self balance is very okay...
For me that is true. My pack isn't just for me. I run a server with friends and acquaintances and eventually I may want to make the pack public. Balance is very important. And with how Chisel works I can't even use MineTweaker to remove that recipe.

The next thing to do is to contact automatic maiden the mod developer. He/she will almost definitely help you

Nor are there fancy versions for building. Just cobble and normal versions isn't quite enough for me to add.
I can do that, and would kind of enjoy doing so, but it means more block IDs. Is this acceptable?

I would like to add that, but the only thing I found would require me to learn 2 languages and hardcode everything.

More block IDs is all sorts of acceptable. I don't mind extra block IDs for aesthetics. Plus 1.7 is around the corner, and IDs don't matter in those waters.

Then I will add some variants. I will do some tiled, circular variants, and some engravings. Any others?


Can't you just do that with meta data?
No. The rock types are already distinguished with metadata.
