Immibis (Micro block)

[Scalion]

Hi
I saw the news about Red Power 2 wich may not be use in further version and i immediatly wanted to know what will replace the micro block.

I can see the mod immubis on this list
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AkBGhTwSytv_dFVoZWF3MzlzSVNqMHBoUVdwUWlCNVE#gid=0

However, im concern about what it include, it seem to be only the core wich is... not useful at all for simple regular user.
So my question is, those it include everything about immubis ?

The list only includes the mods that are currently in the packs. They are going to include more mods which they see to be fitting in the packs and when they get the permission to do so.

The 1.5 pack will most likely be using Immubis microblocks which has almost all the features of red powers plus some more, including far better mod compatibility. With immubis the covers are able to work on all mod cables and tubes including IC2 cables and build craft pipes as well as red stone conduits and liquid ducts. Which is something you will not see in red power and to a lot of people makes immubis microblocks superior to red powers.

The only feature of red power that has not been replicated and or improved by other mods is the frames due to how challenging it would be.

Despite saying this I personalty still prefer redpower as it is more of a all in one package verse the mix of mods you need to replace it.

Immibis micro blocks look extremely bad lighting wise, makes me want to vomit. I still prefer Redpower 2's microblocks even though they aren't compatible with other mods

There's a compatibility glitch currently with Microblocks and TE conduits and liquiducts. It's a permanent crash bug unless you edit the config file to remove TE compatibility for Microblocks. I'm sure it'll get ironed out eventually, but for now, it's rather annoying that the only blocks I'd really WANT to cover (liquiducts and redstone conduits) are not compatible currently.

Yes, "eventually" this two day old compatibility issue caused by a change in TE will "eventually" be fixed.

How about give it a week before getting all up tight.

Second that.

I updated TE. Saw the crash -- checked the change log. Downgraded back to the version I was running and went back to playing my survival world.

It is nice to stay on the bleeding edge, but you don't have to run the latest version of everything in your world. This bug would only be an issue if you want to both use microblocks and are affected by the assembler bugs that were fixed. I'll take microblocks over the assembler.

There's also the bit with Immibis's Microblocks where it can't keep stuff from connecting. That's the one thing I dislike about them.

(And the occasional bugs.)

In any case, yes. Immibis's Microblocks work a lot like the Redpower ones, but are a little buggier. Though they work with stuff like Pipes, Liquiducts, Redstone Energy Conduits, IC2 wiring, and UE wiring. Though, again, bugs with this exist.

It's also intentional, and works really well as it is. Cables can run right into the wall.

Hi
I saw the news about Red Power 2 wich may not be use in further version

about 5 minutes after that Eloraam announced that she was alive and had started working on updating it. We might nor get an update for a while but I don't think it will get dropped

Speaking of waiting a week, that was three weeks ago.

As opposed to Redpower2 which would take even longer to fix compat issues as well as its own lighting issues.

 

[Jyzarc]

She never said it would be a week. She actually said "I dont want to risk ETA predictions". Its a big mod and she is one (seemingly very busy) person. At least we know she is probably alive and working on RP2 whenever she can.

How well to redpower's microblocks work with any of those mods? Not at all you say?

This discussion I becoming unproductive, quickly.

Immibis Microblocks are great. Red power 2 Microblocks are great. Right now the only option for 1.5.1 players is to use IB. If the FTB mod pack wants to update in the short term, there is only one option.

So, let's not talk about RP2's future again. Please

You see, Dave, we're gonna be complaining little babies, you're just making us feel bad about it. xD

Which would be the main reason RP2's are less buggy. Seriously it's a matter of preference. Not everyone cares to have microblocks for anything but RP2/beautification as well as the reverse of that.

In DW20's vid while they were at the back putting up the iron pipes I heard Arashi saying something about someone talking to Elo.

Like VintageBeef's RP2 Cover House? God, that thing was rad, but didn't it have lighting issues because they let through light? Not sure.
