Re: Synthesis before smelting

Let's see if I understand you correctly! You complained about the current system not being usable with large scale automation, then I showed you that it works and that the implemented system is even more effective in large scale systems. And now you complain about that system, because you think it ...

Re: Morvelaira's News Compilation

I'd guess coal is just a placeholder until a new item specific to that mob is introduced. But hey, a new non boss mob potentially means a new arcane scroll. This is what I like about this place. "Ooh, new vanilla feature! I wonder what FC is going to do with it." I'm curious about this ne...

Re: Morvelaira's News Compilation

Honestly, I think they're just trying to accommodate Eloraam and her "need" for an infinite number of blocks that nobody will ever make full use of. This is the saddest thing I've heard in a long time. Design by committee is easily the fastest way to take something brilliant and run it in...

Re: Morvelaira's News Compilation

I remember something like using a String for every ID (infinite size) instead of the current one which uses a byte (size of 256). Aside from performance concerns I'm surprised they didn't do this from the start or at least much earlier. It allows for so much more flexibility and growth, easy separa...

Re: Undefusable trap/mechanism trigger?

Well, seeing as it would be in your house somewhere, preferably near chests with something useless like cobblestone, how would they know that a buddy block was behind one of the chests? I don't burrow under peoples houses to steal things. If you wanted to make sure they didn't, I suppose you could ...

The glass is there so you can see the TnT.
What's to stop you from burrowing into the floor and cutting the redstone though?

Re: Watch this movie called Videodrome

The third move in that series, Existenz, is one of my all-time favorites. Videodrome was cool too. I've seen Videodrome and fucking loved Existenz. They honed the "what is real?" plot to such a beautiful razor edge in that flick, which I honestly didn't expect from how it was sold in prev...

Re: My single problem with BTW.

My main reason for this is the direction the mod is taking. Yeah, I get it's supposed to be where as he gets more advanced, Steve gets less humane, but to be honest, getting into occult stuff bugs me. Call me a wuss if you will, occult stuff gets to me even if it's just in a game. I don't see why I...

Re: new enchant: floating

The SFS armour changes were added to make the game more challenging. Something like this removes that aspect of gameplay. To be fair, he mentions directly in his post that it shouldn't affect SFS Armor, and honestly the changes to SFS aren't entirely there to make the game more difficult; in fact, ...
