Expect an announcement from Slow "real soon now".
In my case, it's god damn 3am and I've been working on this since 5am. I'm going to bed. You can expect I'll be working on something tomorrow though.
All I have to say is how stupid greg was to NERF WOOD. Why would you nerf a VANILLA MECHANIC. Greg has gone off limits and should either re-balance his mod to be back to normal, or just get completely discontinued for this dumbass move. I used to love this mod, but no the mod has gone overboard. Piss off greg
Umm.... the anger isn't really at the wood nerf. That's honestly expected of GT. What isn't expected is Greg causing the game to crash because another mod reverts his change to keep the balance of his own mod.
Its a really big shame how Gregtech changes other mods. In their words - to make it more difficult. Just what is the point of that? There is some fantastic machines etc in Gregtech. I just wont use it because it messes so much with the other mods. I have a large system of Applied Energistics which is completely disrupted when Gregtech comes along and changes the names of the ores and metals. Just for instance. I would finish by saying stop messing with other mods and just concentrate on how yours does. If people want it complicated they can complicate it enough by themselves.
To be honest, they are both wrong. Changing another mod is not against the rules, but is certainly frowned upon.
mDiyo shouldn't be apologizing for anything, at all.
This is, from my perspective, an observable pattern of behavior from Greg and one that should not be tolerated by the folks who put together the FTB packs. Greg has violated the trust of users to engage in personal attacks against other modders. Tolerating this type of behavior does nothing but encourage more of the same in the future.
As the GT fans say, using his mod is optional, so I think it'd be prudent to remove ti entirely from any and every iteration of FTB from this point forward and if those who like the mod wish to install it, go for it. This mod pack and this community are much better off with childish, game crashing antics. It's despicable, childish behavior and I hope the crew here sees it for exactly that.

I remember a while ago SirSengir did somthing similar he looked for when his mod (Forestry) was used in the technic launcher and deleted itself if it was. but now Sengir and technic are freinds again so i wont worry about these two and their disputes i hope it will all work out in the end.
You do know that the GT packs are the most played ones though? I'm not sure if rage-kicking GT out is the right decision for FTB. best decision would be to just discuss it with greg and try to get a solution. OUTSIDE of pointless forum threads.
This is a truly idiotic claim. Conflicting recipes are not incompatible. The only incompatibility, absolutely the only incompatibility was in Greg's mind.
Since you're basing it on an invalid premise, the rest of your message is also invalid.
Ah yes, but as the creator of the mod, it's his call what's compatible or not..... and not yours
Slow's Official Statement
We will leave this topic open for a bit. At some point it will be locked and the debate will be over.

Yes, he has every right to prevent his mod from loading, but has no right to crash the client. He can easily allow the game to continue loading and not have GT load.
True, but at one point folks thought RP wasn't replaceable, I firmly believe that any functionality that GT adds could be added by some other mod down the road. If folks would like to continue to use GT, let them install it themselves. After all, that is often the mantra of the GT zealots, that using it is completely optional, so in my opinion it ought to be made so.
If the mod isn't removed, it's sending a loud and clear message that any type of egregious behavior will be tolerated. My main concern is precedence, doing stuff like this should result in more than a polite conversation, it's an assault on end users and that simply can't be allowed.
vauthil meant that greg crashed the game if any mod was installed that changed the recipies back to what they were or dont agree with his configs, the trigger for the crash was removed but the code to crash the game still exists and the trigger could be re added without warning, as for the pumpkin of shame, that was just greg being a jerk and putting a sad pumpkin on mdiyo's head, that was on a different comment btw
