Re: Flower's Dev Diary (March 31st) - Cold hard truth editio

I'm glad to see that you were able to clear your mind on this subject. Like the others have said, I'm also way happy to see you moving towards the future, but I can understand why you called this "cold hard truth", since it must be painful to acknowledge as a beloved project that has occup...

I'm going to leave this here since I don't have an account on the ksp forums, but I wanted to share the fun I was having with the mod. Glad you're enjoying it man, but if you'd like to say thanks or discuss the mod, please take the time to create a ksp forums account. Considering the amount of work...

Re: RTH Q&A thread

Something that I really like in BTW is the klin, which works like a fournace but it's made from simple blocks that gains new functions depending on their context (or the new piston packaging, for the matter). The question is, do you plan on expanding and developing those kind block interaction in R...

Wow, this sounds great! I'm really looking forward to the "untold story". I'm a fan of those, and I want to see what you've come up with, considering your level of quality.

That and the last late tech game changes :)

Thank you for this last effort!

Re: Question about challenge relative to other mods

It's always surprised me that Thaumcraft went with Forge given it seems to be defining its own play experience, and the need to conform that Forge promotes acts very much counter to that. I remember when it first came out, the MCF OP had a statement along the lines of "like Better Than Wolves,...

Re: Arg, fuck, kill (ranting at cpw)

Yeah, I think that the core of the problem is that coding (or any other manual skillset) is the limiting factor in transforming our imagination into reality, so it is the hard part and what we feel as the obstacle, thus we see this as the main capacity of people who have it, while the ideas used to ...

Re: Vanilla Minecraft News Discussion

BTW, about the clay blocks, does anyone of you guys think that they look way out of place? They have both a very smooth texture AND no border, wich makes them way to un-blocky and flat. I mean, quartz is smooth but it has a border that keeps the blockyness, while wool or even smoothstone or regular ...

Re: Trap Doors: Have I gone too far?

I used trapdoors in my old world quite a bit, especially as an alternative to pistons, and because pistons need to be sticky+block to be perfectly solid with items, taking up 3 blocks... However, in my new world I'm just poking in the redstone part of the game, so I didn't used them yet, and I like ...
