Yeah, Cloudy has had some very serious personal issues going on lately and that does add to it, but the communities general vibe lately hasn't really helped anyone stay.
The recent uproar was just the last "nail in the coffin" for most of those leaving.

Mystcraft said:Finally! The writing Desk model is in!
Does it work? I sure hope so!
The desk should work fine, and the upper section should even be properly craftable. The upper section doesn't DO anything, yet, aside from look nice, but it does that very well.
Keep in mind you need to crouch-right click to actually place the upper section, otherwise you just get the desk gui.
Not all of the contents of the desk are dynamic rendered, yet, but it's a great start.
[API]"phase" modifier changed from a [0, 1) interval to [0, 360) (linear mapping)
[BugFix]Adds check to prevent crashing when requesting items from non-existent slots from desk
[BugFix]Attempts to avoid odd vanilla bug causing unloading unloaded chunks
[BugFix]Fixes fluid instability configs
[BugFix]Fixes issue with shift-clicking items out of lecterns/stands putting them in armor slots
[BugFix]Improves averaging of phase symbols
[Interface]Added "Color" suffix to color symbols.
[Interface]Added "Direction" suffix to angle modifiers (North, South, etc.)
[Interface]Added "Phase" suffix to solar angle symbols (Zenith, Nadir, etc.)
[Interface]Changed the "Biomes" notebook to "Modifiers, Biomes"
[Interface]Renamed terrain symbols to be more consistent
[Items]Adds second metadata form for desk item to place top section
[Items]Placing a writing desk now places the desk facing you (places the leftmost block at targeted location)

[Note]Desks generated in villages after this point will be facing the lecterns
[Symbols]No longer creates symbols for fluids without itemblock forms
[Treasure]Increases number of pages generated per generated page to 1-16*rarity of page item (pages now generate in stacks; rarer pages have a lower maximum stack size when generating treasure)

Vazkii said:For those who don't keep up with what I do (psst, you totally should), Botania is a mod I'm currently working on, the objective is to provide a tech/magic mod based around natural magic (so plants, wood and the like). This gif shows a rough idea of how the power system will look like.
I posted a while ago, on twitter, a brief overview of how the power system will work, I'm reposting it here, it's a bit messy!
The "generators" will be plants, they'll all do photosyntesis, as in, passive energy generation. There'll be no wires or pipes or anything of the like.
Around your generating plants you'll need a mana (the name of the energy) spreader, which is kinda like a cannon. It'll absorb mana from the flowers and shoot a mana bubble (a projectile) at wherever it's pointing.
The storage is a mana pool (you need to points your spreaders at them), which stores mana, basically. To fill it, have a mana bubble hit it.
Functional flowers have a small buffer of mana and will refill from nearby mana pools, but not from mana bubbles.
Functional blocks (not flowers) have a bit of a larger buffer and will not refill from mana pools, but from bubbles.
Lastly, you can put a spreader next to a pool and give it a redstone signal to shoot a bubble, regardless of there being a valid target or not. Otherwise it'll automatically shoot bubbles if the target isn't full on energy.
All this process happens naturally, and you see no numbers, just vague values: "Mana usage - high", "Mana buffer - small".
As I said, still work in progress, would anyone object to continuing posting development screenshotsh here?

If there is a way to convert between rf and mana I swear I will find vazkii and give him a high five
A new mod Advanced Thaumaturgy has a generator converting
The Essentia Engine makes MJ, not RF. It is planned to make RF, EU, UE, and possibly Factorization energy
Hahahahaha nothing makes factorization energy. Neptune doesn't allow it. There is no power api. In my dreams alone can other powers systems be converted into fz energy.
