What do you mean, "minimally helpful" and "lacking a ton of information"? What exactly are you looking for?
This is coming from using FTB Horizons so im not sure what your mod does differently in SP or as a standalone plugin in SMP.
My first issue is that I had to google about the mod to even get basic information which leads me to your old WIP thread here, I then have to follow another link to get to this thread. I then have to scour the 1st post to find out there is an ingame manual. IMO this should be given to you when you load the mod for the 1st time. It would have saved me a ton of time.
BTW I get a Java error when clicking on the redstone transport pipe when using the manual ingame. I will try and copy the error from the console next time. EDIT *** Here is the error I get it spams the console and ingame chat. http://pastebin.com/vDkfv1gX
The manual leaves out things that seem obvious to you since you wrote the plugin, but are extremely confusing to a new player. Here are just a few questions or issues that I had.
How do you turn off engines? I cant seem to turn off either a DC Engine or a gas engine. Redstone circuit seems to start a DC engine but it doesnt stop when you stop the circuit.
What is the range of the woodcutter? I notice it goes further than 1 block out, but I cant tell how far without a ton of placing trees and waiting around for them to grow. Is it only 1 square wide? Does it go up or down a block? How do you get the wood into a chest or storage device?
How do you harvest plants? The only thing I saw was the fan. Maybe I missed a machine in there somewhere. I tried using the fan, I hooked up two performance engines and used blaze power and it still wasn't powerful enough to uproot the plants. Honestly if I need more power than this to harvest a single row of plants its not worth the trouble.
NEI says to make ethanol crystals you need an Induction furnace or an Redstone Furnace. I couldn't get either to work and ended up trying the blast furnace which didnt work and finally out of desperation just a normal furnace which did work. NEI never mentioned being able to use a normal furnace and I assume NEI pulls recipe info from your plugin, but I could be wrong on that.
Engines dont look like they connect right to what ever they are powering. The graphic for the shaft is quite a bit lower than the input on the machine. It took me a while to realize this is supposed to be that way. It just looks wrong and for the first bit assumed it was the wrong way to connect the two.
There were a ton more questions/issues, but I think you get my point.
Is there a manual or wiki that shows how to use the rotary craft mod? The one wiki I can find has about 5 pages and is worthless. It seems like an intersting mod but overly complicated without some sort of help or guide.
If you havn't checked out Maddyncraft yet then you are missing out. This is by far the best server I have played and the Staff are Mature and helpful.Get yourselves on there!

ok.....the reason I was banned from Maddyn's server is because his mods/admin jailed me for 2 months for no reason and I got ticted because he wouldn't help... im am sorry... please whitelist me on the heros server
Yeah not the way it went down. Here is the unedited server log. The ONLY thing changed is my IP which i blocked....
Caution...contains highly offensive language and behavior by Gamer_HD. I tried to be reasonable and he not only insulted me, my staff, but took a stab at my family and my children in the most offensive way possible. He might be 14 but he acts like a 6 year old lashing out at those when he doesn't get his way. I wish I could contact his parents and show them how he acts on the internet without adult supervision.

THERE my thing should be correct now
Banned from my server.... I would post a screen cap here but it involved rape and children and is too offensive to post. If you want proof PM me for a screen cap and server logs with IP.
I am trying to add my server to the server list. I added www.maddyncraft.com IP I get a message that its claimed already. However when I do the claim process nothing happens. The code they provided is still on my MOTD, been up for about 30 minutes at the time of this post.
Whats strange is when i do a search for that IP in the server list nothing comes up even when looking for offline servers.
I tried using the direct IP for the server and get the same message.
I am looking for people to build Halloween contest entries for my server.
I have set up a special server on our dedicated machine to do this.

Winners will receive the following prize on the main maddyncraft server....
3 winners will be picked and announced No Later then October 31st, 2013 (Halloween) 6pm central time.All Winners will have there builds displayed in a special area next to spawn to be seen by all for a period of 1 month or more and each winner will receive 1 of 3 prizes with each contestant receiving only 1 prize each.

I'm sorry I guess I should have been more clear. Is there anything besides this? While this is minimally helpful it is lacking a ton of information.
