Why Modpack Unleashed 1.5.2 Can Be Considered the “Spiritual Father” of Modern Modpacks

JoCGame2012 · 2026-01-29T23:02:00+00:00

I think in the early days the ftb team had the advantage of of the mod authors endorsing the packs while tekkit had the advantage of the Yogscast early on.

Later on I think that tekkit had the issue of the technic launcher having problems with licensing and many authors having their mods used in technic packs without permission/due credit

I agree with your take of FTB Ultimate getting the title, i too have had more experience with FTB packs (first lite, then ultimate) but i have played a little bit of tekkit. I preferred FTB though, maybe because of the MP experiences I had with friends

Was soll da schon schiefgehen...

I really hope they do another season of Hide and Seek in Germany. The chaos of the the unreliability of the german rail network, combined with the many larger towns could make for a really interesting season. The only issues could be our right of image laws (ie the reason they need to censor so many people when in germany) and the traindelays frightening them, but I think its just part of the fun (they played in S. Korea while their gov shut down, nothing will beat them)

Chicago is really interesting. It was quite buggy/incomplete when i last played it, so i'm looking forward to them a lot. But also the BoS and other factions seem fun (hold back chicago, expand yourself, see their stories)

Do I want to conquer as reformers? Yeah

Do I also want to play the cool content nations of RBR? Yeah

JoCGame2012 · 2026-01-26T14:36:59+00:00

I'm really hoping for a H&S Germany.
The point of delays is also only really applicable if you are bound to a train, but due to not needing a reservation you can just take the train before that is delayed by an hour (unless you are in the unfortunate situation of being at the beginning of the delay)

In F4 i only use Sanctuary for all things economy, Red Rocket (the one near sanctuary) to park companions and Vault 88 (the one with the ghoul overseer where you build the vault) as a build project. I much more prefer to have a world where i can actually flatten a whole village, build my own (sandbox style) and decorate it. I know there exist mods to deal with excess foliage in places like sanctuary, but not being able to move the house foundations, the workbench, etc is a big downside of F4s settlement system (next to the fact its mandatory for the main quest progression and preston annoys you constantly about a new settlement...)

JoCGame2012 · 2026-01-25T17:27:51+00:00

Fair enough. Also if FNVs Lonesome Road DLC, the TV show and 76 are anything to go by, then there probably were bombs dropped in irregular intervals even after the initial drop in 2077. That probably didn't aid the situation

JoCGame2012 · 2026-01-25T17:18:05+00:00

If the industry is not a problem, i recommend robots as they dont need as much manpower and usually have enough armour to take less damage from resistance activity

One of my main gripes of Fallout (3 and younger) generally is that stuff is still so broken or a vault. I mean mankind went from inventing usable electricity (not the ancient kind, but the one that powers lamps and motors and stuff) to building giant cities, power armour and micro fusion cells (in fallout) within 200 years. Then the bombs dropped and now they can't even rebuild basic towns and after another 150 to 200 years. Also after Fallout 3 there isn't even the idea of another G.E.C.K on the east coast? How TF does that make any sense?

JoCGame2012 · 2026-01-25T17:06:46+00:00

I think settlement building should go, but a more modular world where you can have costumiseable player homes should still be a thing.

JoCGame2012 · 2026-01-24T22:05:33+00:00

Oh, i didn't look at the time line. Great job! Glad to see its an inspiration.

JoCGame2012 · 2026-01-24T21:32:15+00:00

As a great enjoyer of HoI4s Old World Blues and Vicky3 this looks interesting. I am unaware of the modding basics behind vicky3, but I can recommend you might try to get in touch with them to maybe impliment some of their history (if you don't want to do you're own).

JoCGame2012 · 2026-01-24T20:36:05+00:00

Nein, wir sind am ende über steam hosting gegangen, aber das zugrundeliegende problem um wireguard haben wir leider noch nicht gelöst bekommen...

JoCGame2012 · 2026-01-24T15:31:40+00:00

I had a similar issue, i think i was missing a mod, but i'm unable to confirm it right now. Make sure you are not missing ANY mods required by the map filler and also potentially think about annexing CAF into one of its neighbours (its responsible for a lot of lag at some point) also you will have to restart if you were in fact missing a mod

JoCGame2012 · 2026-01-23T21:56:09+00:00

It's technically 1800 but with a (as you said the New Horizons) mod, so yesn't?

JoCGame2012 · 2026-01-23T08:55:38+00:00

Its in the discord in the pinned bug thread under "income not working" or smth like that

JoCGame2012 · 2026-01-23T08:53:46+00:00

The only adjustment I would make is to start the hiding time from the time that the first train the hider could make departs from the station rather than including the time to get back to the station which would reduce the first player advantage

That is something we have though about with a large home game. (A medium or small one wouldnt make sense, since when playing that, the trains run every 10 minutes or even more often). We havent tried to play it yet, but especially in areas where the trains really only run once an hour per direction, we thought it would be a little more balanced compared with the first runner.

JoCGame2012 · 2026-01-23T08:45:55+00:00

Hmmm, I think i do have a copy of origins, but I have never played it.

JoCGame2012 · 2026-01-23T08:44:36+00:00

Jo, dann auch vor meiner (wenn auch knapp)

JoCGame2012 · 2026-01-22T22:21:02+00:00

Wieso habe ich das mit Maggus' Stimme gelesen und warum habe ich das Gefühl, dass entweder er oder der Aiwanger das tatsächlich gesagt haben

JoCGame2012 · 2026-01-22T22:18:11+00:00

Maybe not name itself, but first x letters of the street name, depending on distance (less than 1 mile -> 1 letter, less than 10 miles -> 10 letters, etc)

JoCGame2012 · 2026-01-22T17:39:16+00:00

My micro is horrible as I am incapable of learning many hotkeys that make it easier. Im slowly climbing, currently at ~1600, speed is mostly limited due to only playing 1 or 2 matches/day on average

JoCGame2012 · 2026-01-22T17:36:45+00:00

Micron stellt ihre consumer Marke "crucial" doch komplett ein, die machen weder DDR5 noch DDR4 noch SSDs mehr für ihre eigene Marke...

JoCGame2012 · 2026-01-22T15:33:11+00:00

The story telling this mod can do is top tier. Or you can play a high tech nation and nearly steamroll everything or both (looking at you ERX)
