We are derailing but why not.
Minecraft is still a fun game, I actually wish that DF2MC was working better then it does now, though I am sure it is surely broken even after DFHack is updated to the latest version of DF.
Personally I dislike vanilla MC. I like the mods that are for MC.
Namely:
Industrial craft
Build-craft (with other addons including logistics pipes)
RedPower
Computer craft (yes there is a LUA based computer in Minecraft now and it works very well for what it was designed for and suprizingly well for what it wasn't designed for)
Is MC a watered down version of DF? Hell yes...but both games are good.
My comment was on the fact that when there is a new release for MC, EVERYONE AND THEIR MOTHER is DEMANDING for these mods to update...and yet these men are making the game for free (tho they use ad.fly for making SOME cash, hardly anything to live off of tho)
I remember in oct. one of my friends was talking about "I am pumping oil into some tanks, this is COOL!" I had no idea what he was using for mods then (found out later it was buildcraft) because I just had the comment of saying "I am getting slaves to mine out things for me in DF, and killing them if they don't
Both games have an extreme about of fun in them.
For those that love complex games, try some of the major mods...most I stated.
Mods are a bit weird to install tho, I will state that, but most of you are programmers or technically inclined so it should be nothing.
Industrial craft adds in machinery to macerate ore, and double production...and also a power net with solar panels and eventually you will get to the level of nuclear power.
Build-craft allows you to pipe said machinery and that of other mods and V items so you can automate things.
