I went into offline mode and it still didn't work. Did I need anything other than Modloader?

No. There's some additional work / luck involved for this solution (which I fixed already for Beta 2, btw. :P). Just wait for the official release

how do you use the gravity well?

Right click it with a gravity staff.

Will I be on the list by the time Beta 2 comes out?

No. I got enough Beta testers, really. Last time, I almost couldn't keep up even replying to all bug reports. I really can't handle more for Beta 2.

Ivorius, I know GC is still in closed beta, but I just couldn't help myself.

I made an initial Announcement regarding GravityCraft for 1.2.5 in the News section of my Higher Worlds OP. I then followed it up with a looong post that goes into more detail and linked to it from the News announcement.

GravityCraft is GLORIOUS!!

Awesome post. It's always amazing to see how long your texts can get.

Now I feel heartened (and pressured) to fix these two bugs that keep me from releasing Beta 2 again. Why can't they just disappear and let me live with happyness, flowers and rainbows x)

...and that concludes Beta 1! It's been very, very fun fixing bugs (>.<), and it should feel a lot more stable now. There will be a Beta 3, which I hope will be a release candidate. Exciting!

it still links to beta 1

Oh, you're right. I know I did change it, seems like the forum didn't update my post :/
I changed it to Beta 2 again now.

Mods installed:
ModLoader
GravityCraft
TooManyItems

it's because closed beta?

Yup, sorry. My completely foolproof Beta-DRM struck again

(Btw. I fixed the 'Can still play when offline'-bug from the last version. Now there's only two ways to bypass it left ;))

Quote from shadowshudder

Why is it a closed BETA exactly?

Because it's a pre-release. I want everyone to be excited for the release, and not be let down by the still-a-bit-buggy Beta. I didn't want to pre-release anything originally, but I figured I had to to speed up the bug finding process. That's why it became a Closed Beta.

The starting excitement of the release of anything is a huge boost. I know some games that were playable years before release, and they had a super slow and unexciting start because everyone already was sick of playing these unfinished versions. Secrecy is some kind of psychological marketing strategy

It's a pity that you can only build one functionable gravity well (by the gravity craft mod)

That's not true, actually. You can have an endless number of Gravity Wells at the same time, if that's what you mean.
