New Release! (BTW V3.20)

[FlowerChild]

Same thing as all the other versions - you need a fresh install.

That's incorrect. Generally you can install every version over the previous unless I say otherwise.

I just don't bother answering these questions anymore because they inevitably (and annoyingly) pop up after each release.

[Katalliaan]

Ah, okay. I usually follow the rule that with new versions of mods, it's best to just make a fresh install.

[misterwuggles]

Seeing these things makes me think of an old western with dynamite tied to the underside of a large train bridge over a ravine, though that may have been because Battosay shot the video in the desert.

Awesome stuff, can't wait to play around with it myself.

[Battosay]

Same thing as all the other versions - you need a fresh install.

Nope, that's not true. You can simply drag it in your old .jar

The non-opaque and direct powering thing was actually intentional.

Are you, Battosay, asking for indirect powering of a block?! The sky is falling, cats are sleeping with dogs, and the dead are rising from their graves.

Et tu Batto? :)

Lol !
Yeah I know :p
But when I first tried it, I was expecting it to behave like TNT.
And I don't really see where you'd want to place mining charges next to each other, but only trigger one ?
Maybe I'm just too tired ^^

Actually, I thought it over after your post and realized that you wouldn't, since mining charges set each-other off :)

Ok, I guess this is one instance where indirect powering is actually better. I never thought I'd see the day :)

I finally got everything working, Going to have to ask the IDresolver guy why it needs to be restarted so often. I have five block ID's left and all I can say is that minecraft is now perfect.

The mining charges are nice. I'm really liking the fact that you can stick them to walls and they won't fall down when activated. (though I've found that if you want it to fall down, you can break the block it's attached to after it's activated)

Another thing that I've found about them that I like is that right-clicking a charge with flint and steel will immediately activate it, which is useful when you don't really have room for redstone, and actually makes more sense than having to wait for the flames to ignite it, since it's like you're actually lighting the fuse with the F&S! Overall it seems like a much better or refined version of TNT, which is easier (and more fun) to use and also less dangerous.

One thing that's really fun to do with the mining charges is to space them apart just in range of the explosion of the previous one, and make a horizontal or vertical line of them, and then set the first one off and watch an instant shaft appear! Or dig straight down to bedrock (yes, I know it's a bad idea, but I've been playing around in Creative mode...) and then use the charges (attached to the wall) to pillar your way back up, and then set the top one off and watch the 1x1 shaft instantly turn into a 3x3 shaft! (doing it this way also destroys any unwanted cobble/dirt/etc., leaving any ores found in a neat pile at the bottom of the shaft! And I know this is an inefficient way of doing it, but it's still fun!)

Yeah, I've been having a lot of fun with these explosives (even though it's just been in Creative mode so far, as I haven't had time to develop a normal world to this point yet...) so I definitely want to just say: Thanks FC! You have an awesome mod and I've really been enjoying it! I hope you have as much fun making it (now and for time to come) as all of us have been having playing it! Again, many thanks for the great mod.

Thanks man, and you're welcome :)

The mining charges are great. And this is terrific turnaround time, with cool and useful features too. I'm just a bit frustrated that I have to create so many damn planks to get the sawdust. I need more dynamite!

Glad you like them man :)

Yeah, I'm likely going to tweak sawdust production rate in the near future. I want to make sure I get the balance right though to encourage auto tree-farm building.

I'm also likely upping the amount of paper required for Dynamite to 3 as well, as reed is ridiculously easy to farm and I find it balances out the recipe a bit better.

I'm currently building a full production setup for dynamite in my main save, so I'm making note of a lot of things I need to tweak along the way. I've got a nice system planned for allowing the auto-production of soul-urns for example (which is somewhat related to the dynamite production process given it's a natural thing to do when you're making hellfire dust).

[Xekrom337]

-Added Dynamite as a new item.

First thing that caught my eye. I haven't updated in a while :P

[DaveYanakov]

Probably already known but do not place a piston against the output side of a Buddy Block. Bad Things happen.

[morvelaira]

So... I took away my ability to connect to my server and complete my tower of doom in order to see this update. I've not had time to actually get to the mining charges, but they look amazing, and I think I just figured out what to put in the Single Player of my tower of doom now... lots and lots of levels of automated facilities. It shall be the tower of explosives production.

[Devalish]

I know this was said as a joke, but has anyone tried throwing dynamite in water?
This was in the suggestions forum, and FC found the idea of redneck fishing funny
(if i recall correct).

Can you be more specific? I know it causes an endless loop with the piston, but that's fine. "Bad things" is rather ominous :)

Tested, nothing happens.

[FlowerChild]

Tested, nothing happens.

Yeah, I might still do that, but it's not in this release. It's actually a bit more work than you would expect, as to make it effective, I need to make fish item entities float on water.

I'll leave it for a time when I just want to do something fun and funny, since it probably won't be something players hardly ever use. At present I've got some much more interesting functionality planned.

Looking forward to it :)

Loving the update btw.

[FlowerChild]

Loving the update btw.

Thanks man :)

[DaveYanakov]

That endless loop is the bad thing. If I don't get that sort of thing stopped within ten seconds or so my client tends to crash. If it had been something way out of the ordinary I'd have posted over in bug reports. Sorry if I caused undue concern.

[Camerinthus]

I'm loving the mining charges, this update looks great. Now I need to finish making my auto mob farm to get enough glue to make them in my survival world. :)

[ct08857]

Love the new EXPLOSIVE update

[BinoAl]

I'll leave it for a time when I just want to do something fun and funny, since it probably won't be something players hardly ever use.

Actually, assuming you make the fish entities float, I've already got the plans for an auto fish factory in my head :) It would be hard to do in hardcore bucket mode, but possible :)
Oh, and

At present I've got some much more interesting functionality planned.

This is a very good sign. :)

[Alrin]

Please don't turn this thread into Notch/Mojang bashing.

Oh I didnt really mean it in a derogatory way, more of a 'poke fun at' way :P
Now that I re-read the post it did seem a bit childish, that wasn't ideal.
I'm really grateful that they are continuing to update (even though current line of features are probably not for me) and that they are keeping MC so very moddable so that great mods like this can elevate the vanilla product to greater heights :)

Also, its very exciting to see what you got planned for us ahead! Hope there will be some stuff that I can understand and use properly. I see stuff like detector blocks and my brain just go "Duuuuurhhhhh...". x_X
I think I need a Computer Logic for Dummies book :P

edit: Sorry I didnt respond sooner.. Skyrim. Oops. :)

[DragonFire2876]

just a quick question since i cant test it atm can you chuck Dynamite into water does it make the fish come up like you said previously you wanted to ?

viewtopic.php?f=10&t=1366&p=19138&hilit ... ing#p19138

Actually, this is pretty fucking funny. Redneck fishing! It's easy to do and I like it :)
