Here is the link to the reddit discussion: http://www.reddit.com/r/feedthebeast/comments/2zq6s5/mekanism_v8_is_out/

Super happy it's finally public, I've been waiting for this day for a while. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, or questions, post them here! I want to make sure this release is as smooth and pain-free for users as it can be.

My build server is not used to this kind of traffic... I have mirrors up on the reddit thread.

Hope you all enjoy the release!

Oh boy, looks like I've got a bit of work ahead of me getting the new stuff properly integrated into Regrowth. Looks awesome though.

Hmm... While I still find the Digital Miner to be too powerful lazers are tempting me so hard.

It's not going to be easy. Looks like the Electrolytic Separator is giving a crashbug, may have to remove those from the world to get it to work. Also watch out for multiblock structures, since that code got completely overhauled.

If you have EnderIO, you may have to wait for them to update their gas conduits or they will throw a crash bug as well.

EDIT: Actually, the ONLY thing causing issues with me is the EnderIO gas conduits. Everything else looks upgrade-ready. At least on his manual update increment 524.

Can anyone "in the know" gimme a rundown on the Fusion reactors and how they compare to, say, ReactorCraft in terms of a mega project and output?


This assumes they're power generators, not to be confused with fusion reactors that exist to smash atoms together for various reasons (see minechem)

Well if you like storing massive amounts of rf then the multi block battery type thing (induction? I'm at work so can't check names) it's amazing! The fusion reactor is...Well I've not been able to get it running and maintain a reaction! I have however managed to redesign my bawe around a more mechanism orientated tech. Those smelters are so quick!

Mekanism's one of those weird mods that's entirely popular and amazing and yet I've somehow never managed to so much as touch it. I can't actually explain it, I love tech mods.
I remember when I never touched Mekanism before, but when I first did I was completely amazed. It really is an interesting mod.

Hey, guys... I don't know where to ask, so... I'll try here: Do fusion reactions ever end? I've started one a few "minecraft days" ago, and the plasma/case temperature have stabilized (at least haven't changed in the last 3 minecraft days), so it keeps running. I'm not complaining, no, no... haha! I was just curious if it will get to an end. I usually see in the tutorial videos the guys showing the temperature and it's usually dropping a lot. Did I get a bug of eternal energy? haha... 8^)
