Well, the hacksaw works well in redpower.
Well yes, but you said they're being put into vanilla minecraft. Are they adding a hacksaw as well?
No, I said I wanted them in vanilla. Not that they're being put into it.
Actually, the way you said it made it look like the opposite :P

Can anyone here suggest a mod collaboration? Is technic any good

Don't mind me, just dropping by to proclaim my love for Redpower world. Or more specific, Halfblocks.

Halfblocks are great.  200+ recipes to make them, isn't good at all.  I'd rather have a machine or two.  Chopsaw block?

Or just handling blocks and recipes better. Rather than having each block and tool having unique IDs which must be specifically referenced by specific recipes, have a parent block/tool that allows a myriad of attributes, and then all recipes either use all blocks/tools of that parent, or parents with specific attributes. For example, rubberwood might have a parent type of wood, allowing it to be used in all the ways a wood block might be used (but different results based on rubberwood's attributes, e.g. fewer planks, fewer smelt operations, or being refined into rubber when a mod's machinery looks at what it can do with it based on the attributes). Likewise, the cutting recipes especially would use any kind of tool of parent type hacksaw (provided it meets certain attributes, e.g. 'cuts as diamond or better'), using any kind of block, and the results are determined dynamically based on inputs rather than because the recipe has a specific output based on specific input.

But I'm not much of programmer. One could probably hack that kind of thing into Minecraft one's self, if you had the time and the care to (which is quite a lot, I realize) and the expertise, since modding changes the base code itself rather than being limited to whatever development tools a game provides, but who knows if it'll actually work out like I expect or if it is even as simple as it sounds. It's very likely there are obvious problems I don't see.

I missed the last exclamation mark due to the smiley, but i meant it like a command rather than a statement.

And yeah, Technic is good but millienarie & tale of kingdom is chrashprone.

Now i just hope that this world wont corrupt like my last one.

Yeah, firewalling the corruption is really hard in 3D.  Just sprinkle some hallowseed around the edge of the patch, and dig some 1xN holes, and drop holy water grenades at the bottom.  Laser snails are much less a problem in 3D, even if they do spawn even in torchlit areas.
Ha, ha, ha.
Another protip-ish: Look for ores in the jungle. The mobs aren't as hard there.

Jungle-specific mobs? Corruption? What kind of mods are you guys running?

I obviously would recommend my own mod pack, but I'm a wee bit biased.

I think they're making Terraria jokes [save corruption = terraria corruption.]

but then I did see a Terraria mod out there as well, so perhaps..~!
such a feeling of Deja-vu. in the terraria thread the same thing happened with references to DF instead.

My world has been glitching out a little, apparently. Earlier while coming back from my quarry, another minecart was already sitting in my loading dock - even though I supposedly only have the one. And now, a second lappack has appeared in my inventory, and I am not really sure what was in the square it occupied before. I definitely haven't had two lappacks ever.

Since everyone always seems to know more about the games development than I do, what's the next feature that's being worked on?

Just watched most of Shadow of Izraphel and Sunshine of Israpony. Basically what I thought Minecraft would become back when creepers were first added (SoIzraphel that is).

Nice visuals and voiceover, but it's a concept I've seen many times before.

Hmm... while it is true I've seen the idea before. I'm now tempted to do a sort of diary LP along the same vein. And treat each new life as a different character, exploring what the last one left behind.

Alternatively, might work better with Terraria. Easier to screencap 2D, and it's mess of creatures and events would make for an interesting narrative.

Before all this End stuff was added, I had plans for a narrative MC LP as well...starring a dwarf! Now I just don't know how to fit the End into the narrative, so it's on hold for now.

Just don't go to The End? Maybe mod Endermen out?
