Was the windmill damage bug fixed in 1.7?

zorn · Jun 7th 2016

A few months ago I made some ic2 windmills, and they mysteriously went from X damage to 100% again. I read somewhere that it was a bug, and was being looked into.

Did it ever get fixed? Id test it in a world but I thought the last time that I used them they woudl appear to work correctly for quite awhile, and then randomly revert to 100% again.

Aroma asked me once how to fix it... (i think 1-2 times) i told him how but i do not know if he fixed it...

I can't remember having asked that.
But to answer the question:
I don't think, I fixed it, but it's on my todo-list.

You asked me about that in TeamSpeak.
I told you, the fix is as simple as merging the Metadata-Damage to NBT instead of ItemStackDamage... Since ItemStackDamage is limited to 32k...

Thanks for answering, for now ill minetweak in a tougher rotor recipe to balance them out with solar panels. Personally I like things that break down. Redpower windmills compared to Immersive Engineering Windmills... ill take redpower, more interesting to not have something that runs infinitely. Passive generation should be very expensive, like how ic2 makes solar very costly.
