chainsaw? ME LIKEY!

You know what I really want in my Minecraft 1.8 or future world? More moving parts; giant gears, cooler pistons, wheels, drills, screws, treads and fans. As a steampunk builder my creation are often really dull. Without moving parts vehicles, constructs and buildings aren't alive. Pistons helped a bit and the fan mod looked great but no-one has updated it and the pistons are limited. If I could just have some giant wheels/gear to stick on my walls I would be a very happy Squid. Best of all they don't need to do anything, they juts have to look cool. Anyway that my little rant over.

Thanks Gestankfaust, looks good.

the better than wolves mod has some of that stuff.

the cpu build continues :wink.gif:



that, is just a layer of RAM for the cpu. each row in that pic is 8 16 bit words, and there are 8 of those in that layer. so 64 words a layer, and i plan on stacking that from bedrock to sky ceiling for at least 1k of addressable, readable, writable ram. it is a godsend that zombes modpack has a copy/paste function for this..it would take me months to build all that by hand =)

and i still have the addressing logic and routing of the input/output buses to look forward to :blink.gif:

and for something totally different:



there's a mod out there that puts a twist on the nether portals...instead of going to hell, you go to a world in the sky. mod is here

its a bit finicky tho, you need to create a new world *after* installing it...it wont work with existing worlds. hold a feather when going thru a nether portal to go to this new sky dimension.

But alas Glimmar has not made textures for them...

came up with a couple more crazy contraptions

Well, these look great! I hope you finish a 1.7 someday!

Where has this new redstone texture come from i cant find it in the fourms?

According to the threads title, it's on page 304.

Direct link to the post is here, if you need it.

@Gestankfaust:I've been coming on your mumble (At least, I hope it's yours :blink.gif:) every once in a while :smile.gif: I just have the worst timing, and never caught anyone else on it.

Thank you for the fantastic textures - steampunk is one of my fave genres and these textures have put a big smile on my face! :smile.gif:

I have a question though; I have done a search of the topic and cannot find if there are any plans to add steampunk textures for the 'buildcraft' mod? I use Industrialcraft and Buildcraft (love building complicated contraptions -sometimes they even work! ;0)) and like the textures that have been added for IC - it'd be fab to have my network of pipes similarly given a Victorian makeover :smile.gif: So was just wondering if this was possible or planned for the future?

Thanks again for the lovely textures :smile.gif:

Glimmar has stated that, while there are a number of mods out there that fit rather well with this texture pack, he does not have the time to go through and make textures for them. However, he does have several sheets with spare textures in the "Extras" folder, which you may be able to download and use for whichever mods you happen to use.

man the Aether mod is amazing. I can see it now..steampunk version of those aerwales...like the chickens and wolves in the normal world =)

YES STEAMPUNK AETHER!
ILL LOVE U IF U DO IT :biggrin.gif:

Again, Glimmar has stated that he does not have the time to work on every mod out there that would fit with the pack, as he's having a hard enough time keeping up with the normal updates. However, in the past he has encouraged others to make complimentary textures for said mods and that whoever makes them can post them here to be included in the "Extras" folder.

I'm very curious to see how glimmer will turn a fantasy, cloud-ridden world into a sic-fi, victorian environment

Anyone remember an old tabletop game called "Sky Galleons of Mars?"

Hey Glimmar, have you considered making textures for the Aether mod? There's so much material that could be made steampunk-ish. Flying pigs with mechanical wing packs, Large mechanical whale ships, the list goes on... So how 'bout it?

*points at my last two posts*

Wow, three times on a single page. I think that's a new record.

Also, I'd like to remind everyone that Glimmar is taking a short break, what with real life getting in the way. He will hopefully return in a couple weeks time.

looking at all the artwork in Aether....it would be a serious undertaking to even try it. moa, aechor plants, aerwhale, the fire god, never mind all the new blocks and tools...not gonna happen anytime soon people =)
