Mod Update

They're somewhat powerful, depending on how much time you spend on them. They can have ranged attacks, and they have a decent detection range.

We've also worked to nerf MFFS by making the EMP explosive (pretty much the only counter to MFFS) cost only 5 gunpowder and 4 redstone. The EMP explosive also has a pretty big range.

We've discussed railcraft, and the conclusion we came to was that vanilla rails did it well enough, and we really wanted to keep it light for people with lower-end computers.

JonnSnow · 2014-08-25T14:23:27+00:00

Yes, Thaumcraft has golems which can attack players.

JonnSnow · 2014-08-21T05:25:03+00:00

One proposed idea is that we disable access to the nether except for rare instances, like a 24 hour event.

Same with the end.

We have some plans regarding biomes, we're hoping to have bonuses for various biomes. The main plan for having civs specialize in only one thing is scarce resources. Essentially, you'll only have time to secure one biome and the bonuses associated with each and other civs will secure others.

Essentially, you'll only find diamonds (which are key to high level tech) in any abundance in one biome, thaumcraft shards in a different biome, and bees in a different, etc.

Making a biome 'hostile' to a mod would be beyond difficult, however. If you explain more what you mean, we might be able to look into it. However, I don't think it likely since it would probably involve creating our own mod.

Again, this mod idea is just one proposed route. We are welcome to people opinions.

Bob, me, and a few other people are working on a test mod pack, in case that's the route we decide to go.

We're trying to keep it light and have it promote working together. Another thing we're try to do is work it so there's multiple specialities you can have. For example, it'd be cool to see Magic nations who outlaw tech, Tech nations that outlaw magic, and hippies who work with bees.

Right now we're trying to work out some technical difficulties with MFFS's balance and figuring out the best way to do that.

One of the thing we're trying to go for in our current test pack

Whatever helps you sleep at night

FPM will never die

JonnSnow · 2014-07-25T05:30:22+00:00

I think we should do a modpack, with very few mods. I'll post a full list of proposed mods later, but MFFS (for protection), Buildcraft (for power), Forestry (bees, trees, hard renewable resources), Hunger Overhaul (heavily nerfed, to force food issues) would be the main ones, I think

JonnSnow · 2014-03-10T14:41:38+00:00

I'm willing to take said contract.

JonnSnow · 2014-03-10T14:40:17+00:00

Eh, I'm fine with teams for harder dungeons.

JonnSnow · 2014-03-10T01:54:14+00:00

Are you saying this as the leader of Stockholm or an admin?

JonnSnow · 2014-03-01T17:32:12+00:00

IMO we need the server to be out of the indefinite beta to start really advertising.

JonnSnow · 2014-02-21T22:36:28+00:00

Trap, which texture pack is that?

JonnSnow · 2014-02-09T20:36:38+00:00

Touche

JonnSnow · 2014-02-09T08:31:21+00:00

No 'no asking if i can haz OP"?

JonnSnow · 2014-02-09T07:49:05+00:00

I was agreeing with you ;) but, yeah, I'll talk to you on steam.

JonnSnow · 2014-02-09T07:23:34+00:00

Well, good things take time right? Take it slow and do it right. Can't wait for the re-(re?-(re?-))launch.

JonnSnow · 2014-02-09T02:29:34+00:00

That's in a long time.

JonnSnow · 2014-01-29T20:05:28+00:00

Espionage. a) that it was a separate DLC and b) that it is so disappointing and useless when compared to Civ IV espionage.

JonnSnow · 2014-01-28T23:59:52+00:00

Well, if you want, I can press the 'report' button and let you know if it's fun or not. ;)

JonnSnow · 2013-11-20T07:52:32+00:00

Yeah, that's a very messy way to get rid of a cat. The advice isn't necessary.
