I'm experiencing a little trouble from DragonAPI right now, no fatal crashes but during it's version/update check it's unable to connect to wherever it gets the information from. The connection simply times out, and the server/client will hang for a long while until it gives up on trying to connect and continues loading everything else. I'm still using the 1.6.4 versions of everything, if you would like the error I'll gladly snip it from the forge log.

Time by time I checking up to see how the development of V3 is going but... Seriously .jar.zip? Like every 2 or max 3 pages it's repetative and I can't see to understand 2 thing in it. 1. Who the hell uses Firefox? 2. Since I was 10 I always used tcmd, (wincmd for oldies) but why the heck peeps use windows explorer? That's like a tricycle with 2 wheel missing. ~~~

And they come with the sentence "your mods crashing the game" and arguing about how it's Reika's fault, while they are not even in a position to set up their own environment where they can see at least a file's extension?

(p.s. those are poetic questions)

Wait, so you know why it's crashing for me and from what you say other people?I mean I don't use firefox, I use Chrome, and even so shouldn't what file extension is shown be independent from your browser? For me it says Critter Pets and DragonAPI are JAR Files, not zip files.

The server serving the file with the version is no longer serving it so it throws that error. Depending on how many Reika mods you have, load up time will increase by up to 3 min per mod as each do their own check. I this currently only happens on version 1.6.4 of the mods.

the level of smugness in this comment is approaching critical mass

Does the bait box attract endermen? The tooltip shows a grass (id 2) block attracting them and soul sand deflecting them, I can't get either to work, although other mobs work correctly (TNT attracts creepers fine and obsidian deflects them).

I'm using a grass block trying to attract endermen and I can see packs of endermen about 30 blocks away and they aren't attracted to the box. I'm standing about 10 blocks away from the box, and can plainly see the endermen, close enough that if I look at them, they come to me. This happens in creative and SSP.

I'm using a coil at 524.248kw to get it to the max 128 block range, and this is v2. I feel like I'm overlooking something, but I'm not sure what.

Any suggestions?

Ummm Mob Harvester?

The OP was trying out Expanded Redstone, Mob Harvester is not in Expanded Redstone.

Although probably true 'in some cases' there are those of us who do find this badly implemented by people. Some of us prefer to not have the chat spam of mod updates, especially when in a lot of cases its false, I've lost count how many mods report they are not up to date when in fact they are. Even you confuse the hell out of people, your changelog says you're on 1f, you're actually on v2, you keep telling people things are fixed in v3 without clarifying its not actually released.

Maybe you could do a check if the person is making the effort in using a mod version checker as a compromise?

Personally, I wish that Reika would just leave the url and option to toggle update check in the config so that if hosting becomes an issue at a later date, the url can be edited. A small addition to the TOS stating that if update checking is disabled or url is invalid, then bugs are not his responsibilities. This would wash his hands of most things.

oooo Chromasensor?

I once thought Rotarycraft was hard.

Thank you Reika for epic mods.

I'm pretty sure those same people aren't listening to Reika now, so I don't think much would change.

thanks for all the hints and tips people :-)

however i know of the autonomous activator but i have no thermal expansion nor mfr in the modpack and am not going to add them. For machines i wanted to focus on ic2 and buildcraft this time and with thermal expansion in the pack i am to tempted to use them instead, so no.

totally forgot about the vanilla dispenser, so automated waterbucket filling solved, bog earth farm check :-)

guess i have to fight mobs at a spawner by hand :-) or see what buildcraft robots can do, or find yet another way, maybe vanilla has a way

The baitbox is currently broken.

Thanks for the info, I ended up just going oldschool and made an ender ender for now.

Now it's time for reactorcraft/electricraft integration and get away from those awful redstone clocks

@MinoCraft

you have Thaumic Tinkerer without Thaumcraft Oo

also, removing TC and BC API from DragonAPI work for me.

I'm still amazed at how much there is to do in these mods, even in the early 1.7 versions. Looking forward to what the future brings.

I know this is a bit of a delayed response, but on anvils again: Railcraft has a steel anvil. Here is a link to his code for it:

https://github.com/CovertJaguar/Railcraft/tree/master/src/main/java/mods/railcraft/common/blocks/anvil

It appears as though he simply extends BlockAnvil...

Latest Gestrata connected textures 1 is not rendering the top of the blocks.

I know you're not doing the 1.6.4 version any more, but I found I can magnetize an entire stack of cores (and upgrades) at a single time (o.O). Was this intended?
