The mod itself is certainly worthy of donation but the wiki shows some severe mismanagement and bad attitude so it does split me on the issue.
I'd donate for a way to pump and use the build craft oil in IC. I mean Build craft has some nice stuff but its all pretty badly implemented, badly balanced and all the things look like crap while the IC stuff is pretty intuitive and efficient and look great.
But pumping and refining oil just feels so industrialcraft-ish
If people wanted to find out themselves they wouldn't be looking up the bloody UU-matter recipe page. The only people who care about all this "secret" bull seems to be the admins. People do not go to a wiki page in order to not find information
I've been sifting through the wiki page for a few days and many articles seem to contain more jokes than information. Often they contain jokes *instead* of information.
I'll give you an example.
http://wiki.industrial-craft.net/index.php?title=Tesla_Coil
Contains line after line of meaningless jokes and it even says "Completely useless versus other players. " when in fact the Tesla coil will instantly kill any player that goes near it.
Another example
http://wiki.industrial-craft.n…itle=Composite_Armor_Vest
5 lines of bad jokes, 1 line of useful information and even then it doesn't say how much longer the vest lasts when compared to iron armor.
another
http://wiki.industrial-craft.net/index.php?title=Nano_Suit
5 and a half lines of jokes and the author didn't even bother adding how much protection the armor offers, how much EU the armor contains and how much its drained when you take damage.

On this page people actually spent a lot of time adding different recipes where upon the admin *delete* the recipes to purposely leave the wiki page empty. So not only are they refraining from adding useful information but they delete existing information that other took the time to add in an attempt to help build the wiki site. All it means is that instead of people finding the information on the wiki where it belongs. They just google the information and find it on someone else's page.
Lets let that sink in. People add information, admin removes information on his own wiki that people are helping him build for free. People took time adding that stuff to help *you* and people came to read the page because they wanted to find that information but *you* deleted it. Insulting the authors to added it and the visitors who came to find it. I mean come on who are you appealing to? Do you think people will be happy coming to a wiki page to find *less information*? Do you think they will pat you on the back for deleting the information that they came to find?
I mean lets be honest. The jokes are bad. Really bad. And its even worse when a page contains jokes *Instead* of useful information and even ten times worse when useful information is deleted.
This wiki needs a complete overhaul and several articles need to be rewritten in a professional matter.
Yeah you might dismiss this as just some angry rant but I hope you take some of it to heart. Industrial Craft is a fantastic mod that even outshines minecraft itself. This mod deserves a wiki worthy of it and the first step is to give is some standards on the articles posted.
Oh and a quick reply to "Feanturi"
"They are secret and they will be secret, thats why you cant find them on the wiki"
No the UU-Matter recipes are not a secret. They are all over the internet except the very wiki where they're supposed to be in the first place. The reason we cant find them is that you deleted them in some vain attempt to keep something hidden that cannot possible ever be hidden. The internet is too big.
