and there's been another new update for Thaumic Tinkerer by the new maintainers.
do note that this update does bring in a new block, but is also labeled as unstable

Changelog 2.0
Build 75 BETA unstable 05/02/2014

• Added Levitational Locomotive.
• Fixed issue #189
• Fixed issue #169

and yet another new mod by @immibis who really seems to be on a roll lately with new mods.
it's a mod called Cloud Storage. now I could explain it all in details, but I think immibis can do it better then me

Thought I would post this here, as well as on Reddit.
Download: http://immibis.com/mcrandom/CloudStorage-1.1.jar
Requires Immibis Core from here. Also requires the EU, MJ and RF APIs from anywhere - most likely from IC2, Buildcraft and CoFH Core, but other mods may include them. I'll fix this requirement later if it's a problem.
Using your cloud storage:
Use the command "/cloud" to access your storage. It works like an ME Access Terminal. The scrollbar is not implemented - use the search bar instead. This GUI has some desync problems, which should be minor. Items with NBT cannot be stored in the cloud.
Using the VPN Tool:
The VPN Tool allows machines to interact with your cloud.
Craft it from a piece of dirt and a piece of redstone (shapeless). Right click on nothing to change modes. Right click on a block side to display what that side is set to. Shift-right-click on a block side, with the appropriate mode, to change what that side is set to.
Actions set with the VPN Tool will only happen when you are online.
Available modes are:

Nothing (stops any effect)
Extract items - extracts everything that can be extracted from that side.
Insert items - inserts particular items into that side. When you set it, it will display a GUI where you can select the items to filter.
Extract RF - extracts RF from Energy Cells. The cloud can store a very large amount of RF. The side must be set to output mode.
Insert RF - powers the machine with RF.
Extract EU - extracts EU from batboxes, CESUs, MFEs and MFSUs. The cloud can store a very large amount of EU. Works on any side of the block.
Insert EU - sends EU based on the machine's maximum EU/t rating. That means if you apply this on more than one side the machine will explode. Don't do that.
Insert MJ - converts EU or RF to MJ, and then powers the machine with MJ.

Using the VPN Copier
The VPN copier is crafted from two pieces of dirt and a piece of redstone, shapeless.
Shift-right-click on a block to copy settings from it, then right-click on another block to paste them. This makes it easy to set up lots of identical machines.
Screenshots

and lastly a mod by @dmillerw called Abstract Power
it's a mod that's inspired by @immibis Dark Panels, but again, I think dmillerw can explain it better then me

This isn't a very serious mod, first off. Kind of inspired by Immibis's "Dark Panels" mod (found here), I had this random idea on my way home of blocks that only produce power when you're not looking at them. So I present to you, the Abstract Generator!
Download
Yes, it's kind of pointless and OP, but it's fun!
These blocks can produce both EU and RF, and the values they produce can be configured in the config.
AS THESE BLOCKS ARE HIGHLY UNSTABLE, BREAKING THEM MAY CAUSE SEVERE ADVERSE EFFECTS! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
Basically these blocks explode with the force of 2 1/2 blocks of TNT if you break them, so be careful!

little update today, it's more bees, yay! it's the mod Metallurgy Bees released by @Shadowclaimer

[Democretes]

today, we start with a preview from @Bevo for Applied Energistics 2.
be sure to watch this preview, as it's not only done very awesome by Bevo, it also shows some very new cool stuff for Applied Energistics

 

[Revemohl]

It is extra utilities but is kind of expensive to make, although it's super useful and awesome.

Only if you have Railcraft. Even then, 6 steel? That's not really that expensive at all.

 

[Yusunoha]

 

[MoosyDoosy]

Wait, @immibis how does Cloud Storage exactly work? Do you need to store your items into a block to access your cloud? I'm guessing the /cloud command can work anywhere as well. Sounds awesome, btw.

I've been playing with it for a couple days. It's a really nice update.

 

[Vazkii]

This is a thing? Hmm, guess I should work harder to take this hostage as well...

 

[Zein Eizoku]

You're a thing

 

[Wagon153]

I believe we also need to mention the new thing among the modders, Patreon. I've already seen a tweet from Pahimar about it.

 

[Vazkii]

You're a thing

Sssh, respect your (insert opposite of elders here).

You mean this thread, or magical crops?

Hahaha

Care to elaborate, please? I don't follow the community that much, so most of the news I get from here. I see this thread as a news thread, not a "news about other news somewhere else" thread.

Oh, and AE2 looks glorious. One day, when I've decided that Ultimate no longer does it for me, its inclusion will be one of the main criteria for choosing what modpack I'll play next.

Patreon is a site where you can donate a set amount of money to a person per month. Its a step in the right direction because modders using it can get more income from it then from sites like ad.fly, and the users can donate money directly! The person can also post info on their project, rewards, a video, and personal info. And the site can be used by more then just modders too!
