Ah, okay. The version Direwolf has adds a couple extra tools you need to make various processed parts to make machines with, which you promptly replace with a machine that does everything the tools do. That's the part of Gregtech I hate; it's that most of it is pointless extra steps which you instantly no longer need once you do them.

I think the point of the tools is that you can avoid making the machines if you want. Also most of the gregtech tools have secondary uses. Hammers are not just for plate making, but used in recipes and for things like repairing turbine blades.

Hammers can also be used to prospect for ores by rightclicking them on a rockface, but that is less useful if you have tools that can tear up the rock way quicker than you could read the prospecting results

Spoiler: Install Instructions (click to show/hide)

1. Go to http://mineCraft.net/download
2. Download mineCraft.exe (Put it wherever, this is the launcher)
3. Run mineCraft.exe
4. Log in with your mineCraft login/password
5. Click Play

This will download and install mineCraft, usually to the C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\.mineCraft folder. Once this is done and you are on the mineCraft's main menu, exit the game and close the launcher. (If you want it installed somewhere else, you can change that in the profile before clicking play)

6. Navigate to the C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\.mineCraft folder. Easiest way to do this is to type %appdata% in the run programs window, or into the address bar above any explorer window.
7. Download the client pack here: http://bit.ly/1a1p3ai

Inside you should find 4 folders: Versions, Mods, Libraries, Config and the file servers.dat

8. Extract all files/folders in the client pack to the .mineCraft folder. If asked whether you want to overwrite files, say yes.
9. Run the mineCraft.exe launcher again.
10. In the bottom left where it says your username, click Edit Profile
11. Next to "Use Version:" is a dropdown. Click it and choose "Release 1.6.2-Forge9.10.0.845" then save the profile. (It may be at the bottom of the list)
11a. (Optional) If you have trouble getting minecraft to load, try putting this string in the "JVM Arguments" field after checking the box: -Xms512M -Xmx1G -XX:MaxPermSize=128m
12. Click Play
13. Click Multiplayer
14. Click Blood and Industry server (should already be added, if not the address is 199.229.253.56)
15. Click Join Server

Wait, another one? It looks exactly the same to me as the one you just announced earlier today.

I posted the changelog earlier, I just now finished testing and posted the link.

Also... holy crap. I saw a pig in my workshop and hit it with a sword. When it died it dropped an ender pearl, and an enderman attacked me. wth?

[EvilTwin]

I really dig those Carpenter's blocks and the Dartcraft stuff, will have to try that out as soon as I got some time.

Bad textures on an ender tot? Don't recall what mod adds them They are added by DartCraft. They're basically baby endermen that spawn one or two angry adults when killed.

No, it was a pig. Pink pig with a stripe on its back.

I think it's a hilarious entity ID conflict between the cold pig and the endertot. So its an endertot that looks like a skinned pig.

Oh nice, Dartcraft is pretty sweet.

Getting about a dozen iron ingots from a single ore is always fun.

[forsaken1111]

Okay what happened? Someone was messing with the reactor?

[frostshotgg]

Yessir. It doesn't like thorium cells.

[forsaken1111]

Yessir. It doesn't like thorium cells.

Yeah I'll have to wipe out all reactors to clear this error. gg greg, gg.

Can I get a link for a wiki/infodump somewhere for the changes in IC2 with the last update?

Edit: Additionally, it seems my electric engines up and vanished with that latest update.
Edit2: A bit of investigating in Creative mode shows they are indeed fucked. NEI shows no recipe, and giving myself the block then attempting to place it results in a crash.

I mentioned the thing with the electric engines in the changelog. Forestry has not yet updated to use the new IC2 API. Nothing to be done about that at this time... this is what comes of using dev versions. It was either update to IC2 experimental or lose railcraft entirely since railcraft moved to the experimental branch.

As for infodump, I haven't seen a comprehensive changelog. You can probably find changes on the git library. I'll see if I can find one later today.
