OMG U Answered me lol but seriously can't u just release a version that goves me the shiny blocks and the tanks for 1.7.10

I dont care if its just 1.4.7 xycraft in 1.7.10, i just care that its there, only request, tanks dont crash servers, the fabricators made autocrafting cheap and not mid to endgame and is fast with no need for power(yet)

where did the wiki go ?

AHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAH!

Wikispaces (the place the wiki was being hosted on) stopped providing free wikis to non educational wikis. In other words... It is gone.

how...considerate

Your mod is amazing, when i first found it i thought it was only looks and no work.. but now its SO good i love it its the BEST every!
Awww, i wish i could get this for my "modpack".. its 1.7.10 and no downloads





(its private, just me and like 2-3 friends dont worry )

He has put a hold on developing so he can focus on college is what i have been hearing, but the question is why can't he release unstable versions for us that are so impatient? I understand the community told him to take his time, but he could release an update here and there once he gets each feature done. I dont know who will agree with me but it seems like it would have been pretty reasonable because he hasnt publicly worked on xycraft in months, maybe a year.

EDIT:

Or even if he found someone willing to help him finish xycraft if he is too busy to do it by himself.

According to Chickenbones Patreon he IS helping develop Xycraft.

And people attack others for not liking how these systems are abused, so quick to create them when their far to busy to do the thing their for, quick to add unreliable information, quick to expect free services that provide income, and so slow to change very out of date information...not shady at all is it. Look at magical crops, only after people pointed out on mass that a pay wall for a mod is against ToC that things changed.

I dunno it was a fun mod but if after all these years he's still thinking of new features, he had no clue what he wanted it to be in the first place and it might as well be called random similar things.

Yeah...makes sense

I'll not comment on the first two paragraphs, but... yah...

the new features need to stop for a bit...

He keeps doing that, it's almost inevitable Xycraft will follow down the same path as Redpower, and all the other lost/failed/failing mods and games.

I specifically mention Redpower, though, because in my opinion, it was questionable decisions with development protocol that killed it.

When making software of any kind, there are rules to be followed if you expect a stable release, or to not be overwhelmed, etc...

One of the biggest rules being broken here is "focus on bugfixing and updating the current features, THEN add new stuff"

I am one of the coders for a fan project to mod an old flash game.

The lead developer and I both have had to constantly remind people that we are not going to throw 20 new features in all at once, and that

we are developing things more gradually, so as to avoid buggy releases, and to not create such a big mess it couldn't ever be cleaned-up.

Let me just say it's taking us time, and this project has been in development now for many years, and I've only recently joined in relation to that timeline, but... We are not in great jeopardy of having the whole thing fall-apart from resources being spread too thin, or bad development practices, with one exception being we've chosen to specialize our roles (so loss of one developer could wreck/stall the project). No, we're actually probably very close to our first major release!

It saddens me to watch games and mods die-off because of completely preventable issues, such as having resources spread too thin.

I really hope this isn't the fate of Xycraft, but it seems this is the case...
