What's new in modded minecraft today?

[Golrith]

and the last one is another new mod by shadowking97 which is called Dynamic Link Panels. which is a very awesome addon for mystcraft

Just tried this out, and it's damn amazing. Works just fine with texture packs too. Gives a nice preview to the age, but doesn't spoil things too much. What I like most is that because it loads the age before you visit, you don't get that falling in the void issue, since you are in your base waiting for the image to display. I love that you can see the weather in the other age too!

Regarding dynamic link panels:
Be aware of the two known bugs:

1. Does not work in void worlds (might work if you have built up the area around the spawn platform).
2. Has the standard vanilla "missing chunk" rendering error.

Yeah I was wondering about that too. Maybe we should make a spreadsheet or somethi-

*/me runs off and works on a schedule because he's a control freak*[DOUBLEPOST=1402337203][/DOUBLEPOST]Actually, this gives me an idea. Earlier, @Vazkii posted that we shouldn't post about Botania updates here, because of crazy update schedules. If we're doing the once-a-week summary thing, we could do a summary on Botania too, if Vazkii is okay with it

You're not. Most of the changes are minor changes that don't need to be stated individually. Look at OpenBlocks, there are numerous changes made throughout many builds, but nobody posts them. That's because the changes are eventually stated in the official version altogether, resulting in a single changelog as opposed to countless smaller ones. Logistics Pipes, however, doesn't have any official versions. So we'll have to compact the changes ourselves, by stating them in set periods, such as 1 changelog per week.

that's pretty much the reason why I exclude those mods from my updates, because they update too often with not enough interesting things to mention everytime

but I can support the idea to do a weekly update for these mods. if everything is worked out be sure to mention it to me and I'll edit the OP with this information

"Hey guys, I don't really have time to make a visual changelog so here's a very quick update.

The new feature is a new kind of watering can that can be automated by fake players (such as turtles, autonomous activators that can simulate right-clicking). Previously for balance this was disabled since it gave a large amount of resources with little no risk or cost. Reinforced Watering cans work even faster and have a larger range but they come at a very, very large cost, with probably one of the most evil crafting recipes ever made.

Also new is energy extraction pipes that signal an energy transfer node to extract RF energy rather than insert it. Thus you can have a single energy node for multiple generators such as here!. I've also increased the internal buffer so that you can run an entire base on one energy node.

Two other new items are the 'Soul fragment' and the 'Block of Bedrockium' which are basically meant as crafting ingredients in other recipes.

I've also been experimenting with network code and I've made it so transfer nodes will show fancy particle effects all the time. This means you can partially see the flow of items through a network. You can disable this on the client if it bothers you and on a server to keep network traffic down (but that shouldn't be a major issue)."

you need to give up a heart of your health to make the soul fragment. don't think you'll regain that heart, it's permanent
though using the tinker's heart cannisters does work, so let's say you've 40 hearts then you can get 39 soul fragments and only have 1 heart of life left

Personal opinion: I've found this whole "watering can drama" riddikulus[sic] from the start, and now it's gone totally doolally

 

[andrivious]

Considering that there are a lot of cheap methods to enhance the output of crops (Blood Magic, Ars Magica, MFR, lots more) it's really ridiculous that he made the recipe this expensive. It's not like the new watering can rains diamonds on you.

 

[Revemohl]

The problem with the watering can being automatable like that is that it basically overshadowed any other option that does the same thing. I mean, why bother keeping a steady supply of herba essentia to an item you need to craft after some time of researching; or making sure you have a steady income of blood if you can craft something with five pieces of stone, a bowl and bone meal, then stick it into an autonomous activator and get an even better result than anything else?
I'm not sure what I think of this new watering can yet (a part of me wishes it was even harder), but I guess it can have some drawbacks as it is if you want to craft too many of them. So I guess it's okay.

Actually...
it can if you have magical crops

Really? Big Time Rush? To each his own I guess but I personally prefer shows like Happy Days, Drake and Josh and Kenan and Kel. I guess Victorious is good too, but in my opinion the older a show is, the more they get away with. *Cough* Ren and Stimpy *Cough*

Lol, I think it was more about what they depict, not what show they are from. It's a gif after all.

Good point, I just needed to fill my daily Ren & Stimpy quota.

Now where can I instill some ZIM!!!

Eurgh! Nick.

Hey, Nick May be horrible nowadays, but in the 90s and early 2000s it was blasting.

I might give you 90s, but nothing made in the Naughties was good. Not even Drake and Josh. 90s was OK, not the best. Also your capitalisation of "May" confused me

iPod glitch on the May part. It thinks I'm talking about the month. About the 2000's, to each his own I say, the Stone Age was my favorite time in human history. It was just so quaint.
