A Greg Troll. Large 4x4 mob that looks like greg and throws giant troll face fireballs (ghast+wither+greg+troll).

What's not to love?

Rain is fixed by the morpheus mod, and forestry.

So should we do like a 1 week test, working out the kinks in 1.7 then reset the server on a nice seed (near a mesa, as clay will be swallowed quickly on a server) and go at it for real? That way we can test the TC interactions before its too late.

You could do some sort of Latin naming scheme, say calcator for Macerator, but that would end up simply adding confusion.

You could have a config for better naming, such as SpawnX's suggestions.

You could also have a config for simpler naming:

iBF: That Big-Ass Burny Thing
Macerator: That Crushing Mashing Thing
Recycler: Al Gore's Friend
UUM Machines: Those Gooey Slime-Producing Things

Thanks guys for cleaning up this thread. Its much nicer when the only mess is my own thoughts

I had a similar bunch of ideas, but no details. I did not want to clone TFC, so I designed my addon (development halted until GT 5.0) around "more food" feature.

Same here, I don't want to steal from TFC but I love the storage ideas from it

EDIT:
And if anyone wants to debate politics here I will just delete the thread

Quote from Chocohead

So many ideas, so little delivery. Are you Barrack Obama by any chance?

Haha exactly why I made this thread. Too much shit in my head.
And Immbis posted IC2 classic, and half the mods here are incomplete so I felt it was the best spot.

Goodbye ;( (kirara 1.6 base tour).

Yeah I was starting to like that base, building the greenhouse was fun...
we should kick off my 1.7 LP with us two recording the utter destruction of it. Linus lights the fuse.

Nice job! Pretty funny, I have been working on an ingame version but this is fucking awesome, nicely done.

Some people do, including me.

As do I

Now, what if the things we disable are essential to progression? And if we just let one slip for the progression of TC mess up the whole of GT progression? That is a what if, as I don't know much about TC.

That isn't the issue, as with TC you need one item to get started (thaumometer), and by nerfing that you fix progression.
The issue is when is TC coming and who wants it.

What exactly has Gradle to do with the time it takes to release the Mods? In my Case you can totally blame Morrowind.

No, not the Kirara mods, my mod. I keep getting a decompForge error, I spent 10 hours trying to fix it and then I just gave up.

Ok I am pretty sick and on meds, but reading my last post is pretty rough. Please ignore if it is too garbled

Essentially with my mod (FUCK YOU GRADLE FOR MAKING IT SO DAMN LONG) I am trying to help with that vision, so that we don't even need RC or Forestry, as everything will be based around IC2. The only thing I really can't do is Bees/Trees/Butterflies but I think my 3 tier IC2 crop system will come out cool.

Basically reducing the size of the modpack by adding those things we love about the mods we cant live without

I think everyone slightly missed the point of TC here. It is an alternative, a fun side project if you will to Gregtech. What we would be doing is nerfing the start so you are forced to progress with GT, then once you get open to full GT power (at which point Thaumcraft loses all purpose as a shortcut), you can fiddle with TC for a bit of fun.

Thaumcraft is well balanced in this setting, as all it provides are items with similar functionality to Gregtech, but a bit prettier, more interesting, and in the case of golems, fun. Gregtech is what we love and will be using for progression but Thaumcraft is one of those things you can decide to pick up as a Technomage ooh what a title. Basically just as a way to have a bit of fun infusing your base with Tech and a hint of magic.

All we have to do is simply nerf the Thaumometer recipe (or something else if someone is violently opposed to that or something) and push TC way back until it is no longer a shortcut.

I much prefer what Calclavia has done (why would you hate the guy, that makes literally no sense) with his fantastic models and more unified design approach... but I would not like MFFS on the server, as it serves very little purpose in this peaceful setting and it takes much of the challenge out (with cheap quarries and Cloning abilitites and mob removal and such)
@EE3
I love what Pahimar has done and what he has planned. However, EE3 is simply not balanced for a hardcore technomagic modpack.
Minalien
He posted he was done with MC modding. No more out of him, as with a lot of modders recently.

And speaking of sir Chickenbones, he is indeed working on his mods as quick as possible, he has been doing so since february. He said that he recently finished the render systems in CodeChickenLib on twitter

BA damn you and your reasonable intelligent logic

Quote from Chocohead

It's Chickenbones we're talking about here. Release date requests just slow it down. Unless modder to modder is different.

Chickenbones has school too, so it could take time.
And Team Helix will have Infused gold crowns.

Quote from Verillia

Something that could fit into the catagory of fun for shits and giggles, as well as QoL, Enhanced Portals 3 It's already updated for 1.7

Good idea, however I liked the idea of a nether hub rather than instant teleportation...
