i want to try the mod, but didnt find a description what all this mod packages change?

can you provide a link with all downloads in one archiv? the many pop ups from the download sides are annoying.

Hi, we made different archives because not everybody want the entire mod. It´s not really difficult download each part.

Each module change a thing, it´s really a big conversion of the game, I advice you to try it, it´s better than a description.

What does the Resources module do?

In the changelog, would it be possible to get more than 'balance changes' as changes? I'd like to know what was balanced before downloading the new version, so I can prepare for something like power generation lowered or something along those lines, you know?

Sorry, i didnt see post
Resource module allow you to use mashers for increase plates (iron and copper).

Is just recipes, technology cost, but i cant remember all changelog.

i'm trying to adjust all recipes, technologies and cost.
I want advance to beta mods (0.1.0) are minor changes but a lot.

Yeah, I get that, I really do, but it's essentially saying 'changes' in the changelog. Yeah, we get it, there are changes, but we want to know what changed. What if you nerfed the steam engines to half their current output? I'd want to know that ahead of time. I mean mate, if can't remember, I could start posting unofficial changelogs of everything difference between files if you want, it's a simple compare plugin for any text editor.

To be fair its pretty simple just to load your game and see what changes as well. If power output suddenly halved that should tell you all you need to know.

@McGuten
Would you consider making your signature picture a bit.. smaller?
It really gets in way when reading your posts - and things like change log for 5 dim looks like banner mania. Makes me want to teach my banner remover to skip the image.

Maybe you can tell me how to do it, its a good idea i think ^^ (I use Notepad++ for make a mod)

If you don't already I suggest you use a version control system. I use P4 at work and SVN at home, these tools generally have a gui that will show you file diffs (not that you can't do this without version control, but it makes it a lot easier). They also have a host of other benefits including file history and change list descriptions.

The Compare plugin, right? Yeah, that's a good one. Notepad++ is perfect for this.

Yeah, it is ^^

Please could you reduce height of the mods banners? Especially one used in your signature.
It makes reading any threads with it painful - and changes thread here with double the banners is simply unreadable. Need to find the small bits of text plastered between big banners.

Better?

It's the height that crates this impression for me. It's purely personal preference probably.
Width reduction also helps - it's not that overwhelming now
Thanks for modifying it.

I agree, it does make reading the 5dim threads painful, however I found you can turn off signatures in board settings and now its much nicer!

Ohh haven't searched there. Thanks

So far with this modpack it's great. However with the vehicle pack, it's not so great. For instance the air plane is super slow, and is not actually an airplane. (Biters can still bite it.)

Also with the solar panels, I find it's not worth it to upgrade since they only give you a 30 kW boost per upgrade, when it costs basically one more solar panel per upgrade. So it's cheaper and more efficient with your materials to just stick to the basic ones. I suppose I would only upgrade if I were short on space. I love the textures though.

Anyways, I'm looking forward to what you come out with next, especially the war module.

It is intentional, because if it is so fast and bitters cant hit on it... that make air plane so op i think

It is fixed in next release, Thanks you for reporting.
