XyCraft block compatibility with Forge Multipart is very good. My only concern is about waiting for the new power blocks to be fully functional before releasing something. Get a port of the 1.4.7 XyCraft with multipart support out the door ASAP, then complete the power blocks for a subsequent update.

Something for the second update: pressurized XyCraft tanks. Require XyCraft plate hardness or better for edges and corners and include glass viewer for faces, adjusting hardness to match plate. Then add a special harder valve for access. That should double the capacity per interior block.

BTW, Thermal Expansion is actually out and in DIrewolf20's Season 6. XyCraft is the last domino before I'm ready to go to 1.6 myself.

I gotta say, this is my most anticipated mod! Can't WAIT to play around with that xynergy system!

Don't hold your breath! I did and I almost died!

No need to be rude. People make mods on their own time, and release them when they want to, not to the demand of the public, I wish people like you would realize this. But you probably never will and will just continue to rush them and make them want to stop modding.

he isnt being rude. he is asking a valid question. Its been a year since the 1.4.7 release.
How is asking whats going on after a year of waiting called 'rushing'?
Soaryn said that he was going to release when 1.6 came out. 1.6 has come and gone and were headed towards 1.8 now.
people asking whats happening and comparing the events to Eloram isnt being rude, it's making a valid observation.

An idea that the author might hopefully consider to might make things easier.

What if this mod was broken up into modules like some other mods are doing.
- Create a Core module that has the basics of the mod in it
- Create a Blocks module that has the Tanks and Glowy blocks in it
- Create a Power module that has the new power system in it

Each module could be updated independently, so if the power module isn't ready yet, Core and Blocks could still be updated and used.

I agree in that, especially because the RedPower topic has been closed because the last version was from 1.4.7 and we didn't get any updates. And the fact that this topic is insanely active wont lessen my concerns either... (Also Eloram probably stopped modding because she's working on her own project now, which shall be Minecraft + RedPower).
Everyone always says that we're living in a wonderful time. And then I have to watch as 2.5 of my 6 favorite mods vanish.

As with Redpower, it was fun while it lasted.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!! I'm laughing at you modmaker!!

Well, RedPower has pretty much been replaced entirely; not just by alternate mods, but also by mods such as Project:RED that offer almost all the features RedPower had. As far as Xycraft, it's not exactly much of a 'loss' considering all it really offered exclusively in its latest version was some fancy looking blocks.

Some of the most awesome things in RedPower are completely missing in Project: RED.
Examples: 1. I prefer the RedPower tube network above the one in Project:RED by such a large amount that I completely removed the module. Also its basically just LogisticPipes.
2. There is not in any way any kind of Blutricity or Machines which use or produce it. Like FRAMES

If you want frames, have a look at the Truss mod, also here in the WIP mods section - it's basically the same thing. As for Blutricity, there's plenty of mods that add similar things, just pick one.

for frames there is also Redstone in motion as well.

Alright guys let's clear some things up:

1. XyCraft is a WIP mod. Which means: Work in Progress. You can check out updates on Twitter.Com/Soaryn117 or Twitch.tv/Soaryn . Since I am indeed in College my time is limited to what I can do which means I am not only devoted to the mod. I have a life I need to make sure is going well before a mod is worked on.
2. This place is not a place to discuss comparisons of other mods, how long it has been, or anything else. This thread is specifically for XyCraft. If you find yourself being in an angry mood or upset in anyway I ask that you take a moment and consider if your next message is going to sound harsh. This is a place of happiness so any negative comments I ask you take them elsewhere.
3. I am having fun creating content and I am not planning on going anywhere at the moment. I will continue to develop XyCraft 'til it is ready to go then release to you guys. In terms of splitting it up into modules, we have ALREADY done that, but the primary problems that exist: I have moved the Multi-Block code to Core but in the process we are converting it to Scala as well. At this time the Multi-Block code is broken, and with this being in core means that it will serve no purpose to release yet. We are getting closer, but comments such as "ReLEAse it NOAOAOAW" don't help.

I hope you guys can sit tight! Please give the mods a break and don't give them a reason to lock the thread because you haven't explored all of the avenues of information. MCF is NOT my primary outlet of information so please check the twitter and twitch streams.

Thank you for your time I'll check back tomorrow to clear any more confusion up if need be.

So... Basically the only reason you unlocked the thread is to say the mod is still not done, and you don't really use this thread... and to give a place for people to complain...

Anyway, I liked Xycraft while it was around, and I am patiently waiting for the mod to be done... but maybe you should have left this thread locked till it is.

I like to think people can be mature and handle news appropriately. Another point to the thread is to allow suggestions to be presented for new content. I do see the messages I just don't log in that often.

Ah, well if you at least read it, though it tends to be hard to give out suggestions without anything to base them on besides what was in 1.4.7, which I am sure the mod has changed quite a bit since then, as not all of us watch twitch.

BTW are you still adding in your own powersuit/armor system to Xycraft?

Quote from Wulfyk

I don't say "OMG Realese Mod NAO!11!" but maybe CONSIDER allowing mortal users to have access to development builds that they install on they own risk?

I'd like that as well, but there's the problem that enough players out there don't understand, even with a description in all caps and 50+ fontsize, what a "developer's build" is and will complain about Soaryn releasing a buggy mod.

I've seen game developers quit doing stuff like that because there are so many complainers that don't know how to read something fully.

Its extremely annoying how the most popular modders shun MCF for whatever reason. They often word their posts as if we are all spoiled children. Well I am 35 years old and this soaryn kid needs to realize I have zero interest in either twitch or twitter. When I want to know about minecraft mods, I visit the minecraft mods forum. Go figure.

Besides, this mod only became truly worthwhile when I used the custom ore generation mod to move those overabundant, garish ores to the nether. The fabricator is the only reason I bothered. Now that thing is useful. Doesnt justify the addition of SIX new ores though.

No, you are not all "spoiled children"; however, maintaining 3 different sources of the exact same information is highly unintuitive and popularity has nothing do to with it. Personally I find the text editor here a pain to deal with for NEW information to format nicely. I could just use a paragraph form, but as we mentioned before: Many people don't like reading. We will have a website up soon that will handle not only XyCraft, but my other projects as well so you won't have to go to twitch or twitter (though I don't see how hard it is to go to them.)

The over abundance of ore has been fixed and the method of gunning them have changed. Fabricators are definitely still in, but we have a few Multi-Blocks as well as the power-net for the next version.

Being 35, 25,10, 72, I don't care; age is not a credibility form factor here. If you don't find the mod useful and only wish to complain further, find a different forum to utilize. I'm sure the Moderators would appreciate it.

I don't know about your sites, but in my experience with other sites you have to look around through information that has nothing to do what you were looking for. If I'm looking for information about a specific mod I don't care about the several posts about the author's problems with the coding. And I don't want to read through them all so I don't miss the one line about the mod hidden somewhere within them.

That's why I personally prefer a news section. So I can read "option dropped because it can't be reasonably coded" (for example) without wading through pages of information about the author's personal life.
