Mod Discovery

[Celestialphoenix]

You're implying that I read anything above CelestialPhoenix's post.

As a rule, I only read content after CelestialPhoenix has screened it for interest-ability(tm), at which time I begin reading from that point forward.

... yeah I don't know what to make of this either @RealSketch

-Edit- @Pyure the ninja, no worries a lot of my humour gets lost in translation too.

...And I see the links now- my fault; adblock was hiding them.

I just found a new mod. A nice mod that does exactly what it sounds like it should

Spoiler: simple fluid tanks

http://minecraft.curseforge.com/mc-mods/75423-simplefluidtanks

Features

• Waila integration
• Dynamic recipes. If you have TE the recipes will use those items
• Highly configurable

Nice. With so many multi-block fluid tank options, I kinda want to know which are best performance-wise (for cpu/gpu/ram use)

 

[Celestialphoenix]

oooh simple tanks looks pretty cool.

Having valves limited to 1/tank could pose some interesting designs. Seems pretty neat.
​

I second with Pyure; the FPS hits would be useful to know.

I think I remember @KirinDave doing some profiling on this. IIRC XU find were most efficient followed by TE tanks, most others were in the middle, and open blocks tanks were super laggy.

Spoiler: Nature Overhaul

old thread
new version

This mod brings your world to life, and makes plants a little more dynamic. The world changes and develops around you.
-you can also tinker with the growth speed and drop rate, and allow for biome based control.

Depending on preference you can have Attack of the Triffids style takeover where you're constantly fighting nature away, or reduce sapling drop/growth so extinction and deforestation become a significant part of the game.

I...I can't decide which direction would be more fun

If you could configure by species, you could have one type of new modded "tree" spitting poison when you get close, while all other trees have low drop rates. "Best" of both worlds.
Add in Zombie Awareness, and you'll be dealing with pest control most of the day and night

With B'n'B I think its dark enough for zombies to spawn under trees.

For sure, open block tanks hit your framerate and can spam a lot of data to clients if they're going up and down a lot. Rendering fluid levels is expensive for everyone, which is why XU not doing it makes them such a win.

But that data I made was old enough that it should be discarded. Things change fast in the modded world.

XU tanks will probably th emost efficient since they don't render any liquids. TE tanks are giong to be second because TE is just awesome like that. Open Blocks will always be client intensive just because of how it renders liquids. It's cool, but my FPS hates it.

ooooh this is awesome.

I really like this. I've always wanted this.

Here: The Camping Mod, for the adventurers among us. I found this mod a while back and realized it had enormous promise (I combined it with Natura and discovered that I loved how they work together despite a lack of intercompatibility). That promise continues to grow in the mod's 2.0 incarnation.

Come now, The Offspring's "Pretty Fly (For A White Guy)" wasn't that long ago, surely. 1998 was just yesterday, right? Right?

Man, I've had a whole bunch of years, haven't I? Here's to many more!

The 90s were indeed only 8 years ago. Excuse me, my Motorola Startac is ringing.

I miss those.

 

[RedBoss]

I miss those.

I never had a StarTac, just the old Nokia brick. I REALLY wanted the Nokia 8110 from the first Matrix flick, but they were never released in the US.

Back on topic, this is a nice mod for people who hate Endermen griefing.

You can also use it to stop endermen from teleporting in the rain, or teleporting when they touch water.
