A death at night which invokes HC Spawn is a much harsher environment than starting out, or a death that happens during the day.

Another 'door' replacement that feels off - dirt slabs.

I was trying out the 1.0 release with buildcraft (no, wasn't running BTW at the time) - and realized I was having issues finding squids - even though I was pretty much on an island, surrounded by water - even turning on the entities radar on rei's minimap showed there were no squids at all. I looked...

Having played with BTW for some time now - I have to say that the balance in the mod is spectacular. While I feel the windmill is a rather big step in and of itself, I love how there is an actual progression to what has to be built. I've been using BTW in a combination of mods, including IC2, RP2, B...

So I tried this out - not finding wolves, but whether the render distance affects the number of chunks. Loaded a new world, and ran in a straight line. On Tiny - the map appears to be ~20-21 chunks across. On Far, the map appears to be ~30 chunks across. 10 chunks is probably still too far to cover ...

The biggest problem with wolves right now is that they despawn if they are not tamed, which means, by the time you see a pine forest, and head to it - if it has taken you more than a minute, the wolves there have likely despawned. I've fixed this myself after reading about this by modifying the wolf...

I was looking at that, and it looks like the dark matter (orbs) are still made with dark matter blocks - so by adding iridium plates in the recipe for dark matter blocks, you can still make the need to have a high end IC setup going required.

I had a crash when I tried to get a stoked fire going - I've traced it down to the adv class (BlockFire), which is replaced by both BTW as well as Nature Overhaul. Seems I put the file from nature overhaul overtop the one from BTW - reversing that appears to have fixed the issue. At this point, I'd ...

I've been working with this myself - and quite enjoying the progression feel of it. One of the things I noticed was that the bronze armor from IC2 becomes not worthwhile if you limit the macerator, etc till after you get steel - so I've made some modifications to the mill stone to allow the tin and ...
