Redpower going the way of Nandonalt's Mods?

[Dravarden]

the only thing we won't be able to replace are frames...

besides that we got microblocks that work with TE, buildcraft and Ic2, work in progress, golems that sort, powercraft, AE.

 

[raiju]

golems that sort

no.

RP2 is irreplacable. End of.

For what it's worth, I love RP2, but perhaps it's because I've never had any problem with it. I've never lost chucks, crashed a client/server, or had significant fps lag other than that one time I decided to run 500 blockbreaker cobble-gens at once for reasons that now escape me. I've seen some of the creative ways people can stumble into bizarre problems, so I 100% believe problems with RP2 exist, it's just that my experience has been almost, but not quite, entirely unlike what's being described.

How exactly can I go about reproducing these bugs? Maybe if I saw them for myself I'd change my mind.

Yeah I agree. Except that, you know, it's not.

 

[Lathanael]

The only things i'd really be missing from RP2 are: wiring, frames and the computer (incl sortron).

There are no replacements for them unfortunately. Now that i think of it, might be a nice point to start modding

 

[Lambert2191]

great, well then you replace it. Go ahead, do whatever you goddamn please. For me, RP2 is irreplaceable. There is no single mod out there right now that does what RP2 does.

Why's it have to be a single mod? Mod bloat of having one mod that does everything is bad news bears. Multiple mods that are built with compatibility in mind are much better. heck, RedPower is actually like 5 different mods, unfortunately they're all on the same "no one else can touch it" system

That's largely because RP does so wildly disparate things, a reasonable person would have them in separate mods.

Really, there's no reason volcanos, canvas bags, and pneumatic tubes need to be associated.

Now that we're all using modpacks, no you're probably right, they don't. Perhaps an idea would be to split the mod into seperate parts like Railcrafts modules... but RP was made at a time when there were no public modpacks (I don't think tekkit was huge at the time but I could be wrong) Having everything you need in a single mod, sounds about as close to a modpack as it can be whilst still being in a single mod. I think that makes sense but it's also 2am so probably not... meh

Another example of simply not being up with everybody else.

This thread has devolved past it's usefulness. One side adores Red Power. Another side does not. They do not see eye to eye and I think they never will. Thread locked.
