The one and only actual use people put frames too is not supported; mining platforms. Caterpillar drives won't work, as the path of an object must be laid out.
I always made hidden doors with it rather than giant mining machines. Though there was that one time.....
That's "A" use. Not the only use. Mining platforms have never interested me. But then again I prefer aesthetics and adventuring. I'm not overly concerned with efficiency or complexity. Game play styles vary.
Same here. I like frames because having a big ass futuristic base and only a simple iron 2x2 double door doesn't really mix. Big ass futuristic base needs big ass futuristic door.
I've made a tunnel bore once but really once you had like 6 full size quarries eat their way to bedrock you hardly need any more 'stuff'. I REALLY like that it can rotate stuff![DOUBLEPOST=1371043820][/DOUBLEPOST]
Progress happens to mods that are being actively developed
Nothing says evil overlord better than a 20 block tall rotating arched dark wood door of excelent craftsmanship meanacing with iron spikes, cunningly engraved with flaming skulls of black onyx, does it?Same here.

Hah, yeah, it was that back when I tried it first, used it with better than wolves, too bad, oh well.
If you guys are missing frame ships and the such, jakj is working on a replacement (And in my opinion improvement) for frames. Its still in beta but its in a working state and it does frames better.

Ignore the fact its Technic. A mod is a mod no matter where it comes from.

No offense intended, but I am a chronic license violator when it comes to the unenforcible parts, and I read code. You and your partner do good work. Some parts of Elo's code in RP2 are fantastic, some are less so. Which is understandable, but I like the work I see in your project. There's only so much credit you can foist off.
Also we've had the conversation where I submit you undervalue yourself. Not a unique condition for the industry, certainly.
Isn't Forgecraft 2 running 1.5.2? I'm pretty sure I've seen Direwolf20 use RP2 stuff on his Season 5 SMP series. The texture is different on the pneumatic tube even. I'd assume this means there is at least a dev beta out there? Not that we're likely to see it pre-1.6..
We need a P.A.I.N.S. forum here like in Technic.
It would clear up all the flame threads (fat chance).

They do, but I certainly haven't seen RP2 in his S5 SMP. What's more, the ForgeCraft mod authors are all moving to take parts of what RP2 was into their own mods. Railcraft has a ton of decorative blocks, ChickenBones is working hard to make an open source version of Eloraam's placed/rotatable circuit slab library so that he can resurrect his wireless redstone library (which everyone misses dearly, I know).
I think the "right" thing to do is to move on. We'll all be excited if Eloraam comes back and has a great mod with a ton of features. But no one should be holding their breath. She's one of many mod authors who will probably be waiting until Forge has calmed down; the versions for 1.6 introduce some huge changes.
Because of the lack of WRCBE, I had to install SlimeVoid's version on my Modpack until Chickenbones finishes.
Yeah I'm just telling people to get creative. All respect to SlimeVoid's work, but my tests worlds (snapshots of RRT1) crash a lot with that mod in the stacktrace. I've been telling people to use Greg's wireless redstone. It works.[DOUBLEPOST=1371049766][/DOUBLEPOST]
It is no coincidence you thought this: Thermal Expansion is one of those mods that has taken up the "essential mods" torch as RedPower2 has faded.
Greg has wireless redstone? What's it called?
And I'll test that mod a bunch, try to rat out bugs.
Thanks!
Isn't he working on a microblocks mod too? One with better performance than RP2 or Immibis microblocks? Or at least I swear I saw someone mention it elsewhere, although he might have been talking about the circuit library you mentioned.
Honestly though, the only thing I really miss from RP2 is frames. Ugocraft just doesn't cut it, especially since it STILL uses ModLoaderMP. The mod that lukeb28 linked to above looks really promising though. I'll have to keep an eye on it.
