Finally the blog is back up.
One got to admit, if Imer says “sorry, screwed something up, but i will fix it on saturday”, he keeps his ETAs :3
Anyways, just a short post to tell you i can finally approve pending comments again.
And the explicit note of
IC² OPEN BETA IS RELEASED SINCE A FEW DAYS NOW.
Get it from the forum 😀
PS @ ETA:
Anyone asking on this blog will be marked as spammer. I dunno what exactly it does, but i assume it’s something bad.
If i wouldn’t have gotten ill (and actually, quite hard, compared to the 2-day cold’s i get usually) IC² would probably be out by (at last) tomorrow. But now i couldn’t get much progress.
Thus the ETA is in a few days now, i guess.
Woot! Finaly! This will be cool to try out, even though I was finally getting somewhere on my old world 😛
Was quite fun to see everybody screaming “LOL WHUT IC² IS OUT?” when I told them that I’m currently testing it, haha (:
Thats is great. It is my most favorite mod.
When we see bugs, should we report bugs and when yes, where and how?
Keep up the good work 😀
>> Forum > Bugs
Now to see what will come out first, IC2 MP, or MC 1.8…. inb4 this is taken the wrong way….
Beware, Anyone caught asking when Alblaka will release something gets immediately banned from the forums, so that is dangerously close XD
All i think he was saying… it was a race, mc 1.8 has been delayed so much with talks of possible october, he wasnt asking when just stating… no harm in saying, stop signs are red… or oil is black. I am excited for both as is he i think, but if IC2 MP launches first i get to play all my favorites on a server.. But if MC1.8 does then i get to play all the new adventure stuff Both Great, either way.
thank you, that is what i meant by the wrong way, i knew someone would assume i was asking, which i was not. also, Jeb’s ETA for 1.8 is as early as sept 8th
MY recommendation: Keep 2 .minecrafts, one for 1.8, one for IC² SMP 1.7
As the 1.8 update is announced to be big, i cannot give any guesses how long porting 1.7>1.8 will take.
On the blog i will just mark such comments as spam :3 Should filter the IP and remove all further comments of marked persons automatically.
Judging by Notch’s incredible coding speed…
IC² SMP
Thank again I don’t care when it comes out love Ic so no worry.
Been playing the beta, and really enjoying what I’m seeing 🙂
I hate to admit, but this is the first time I have played IndustrialCraft properly. Terrible I know.
I’m loving the little features, like being able to insulate cables once placed, and the different insulation levels! Really cool. Loving the dynamite-o-matic remote control. Really amazing little feature 😀
Overall, I can see IC2 becoming a big part of my Minecraft experience 😀
(i tried commenting this earlier, seems it didn’t go through properly) Wow, just saw the latest update, your dedication is amazing, and i thank you deeply for that.
Ha what a coincidence I had to go to the doctor for the first time in 5 years I was so sick this weekend. Anyway, IC2 is boss. I wouldn’t hold my breath on Notchs team. I have spent about 130hours adding testing and generally mixing mods and the modding community is just so capable it makes me laugh at the vanilla updates. Their is already several hunger bar mods, flans mood mod, ender man mod, smartmoving etc. etc. I really will not be updating till Alblaka and others make it worth it.
the enderman mod IS based on notch’s mob to be fair
I wasn’t sure about that so I didn’t say, thats not to say many mods aren’t inspired by someone else though. However a guy workin in his spare time manages to produce that mob in the time frame of a company. I mean you read that minecraft is doing very well and all the rave in indie circles but the development cycle is agonizingly slow. Just look at what Alblaka and co. put together in about a month. I mentioned smartmoving is a mod that does sprinting plus a ton more compared to the much vaunted sprinting of this update. Even look at the quantum suit. A feature the 1.8 update is so excited about, sprinting, is little more than an honorable mention in Industrialcraft. I’m not mad, just explaining why I will wait for the modders to update without complaining before experiencing 1.8. Viva la revolu- yea you get the point.
while i agree that mods are what makes it fun for me now, they do use notch’s base code.
Moving more on topic Alblaka do you have a direction in mind for content updates, after 1.0 is released and perhaps a little break, that you wouldn’t mind sharing? I have been dying for an electric 18 wheeler that can transport liquids seeing as I live in a dessert… 🙂 just a shot in the dark. I am not very creative and after 5 min of thinking I really cant think of much IC2 lacks beyond vehicles. You being the creator of IC2 I bet you are more critical of it than I am. What do you feel it lacks?
Currently dev plan:
-1.0 (ETA: in a few days)
-SMP Compatibility (ETA: ~1week after 1.0, hopefully)
-New stuff, f.e. CPUs & Robots
OMG robots. I am in love. Again. I am sure you will take your mod where ever you want regardless of others mods but, will you try to avoid redundant features such as those provided by red power and build craft with your robots? Or more of a “meh I do what I want to make IC2 completely stand alone?”
My fav robot killer. The one from Judge Dredd.

IC² is designed to run on cooperation withBC. I already stopped my own developement of oil because of that.
As well, i hate redstone coding and will for sure not code anything that could interfere with the Redstone mod.
CPUS? Now I can stop using diamond blocks!
Wait, you mean like computer blocks, right?
Are we allowed to post the UUM recipes on the wiki ?
No, those are considered Secret.
I assume then that the reason the, Uhm, Irridium (cant spell it) is on the wiki is that that is the only way to make it?
Yeah.
I don’t think it’s secret, cause otherwise it wouldn’t even be shown in the categories.
Still, your right, cause you can’t edit it xD
No.
I was wondering if you’re going to remove any of the machines because you didn’t like the way they worked out in IC1. (Not talking about machines or parts that have become obsolete). Thanks in advance, loving IC2 Beta<3
Advanced Nano-suit was removed, Even though it is only as obsolete compared to the Quantum-suit as a diamond pickaxe is compared to a diamond drill….
Crystal Charger was sorted out. Most of the original stuff will remain, though.
You did it again Al you proved me that IC² is the mod to be together with buildcraft and redpower this will be ueber amazing ! If i can fit btw into it even better but who cares Computers and robots are just OMG! If you continue with that devlopment speed you will even bring me to weight IC² against major AAA Titles like Anno2070 and currently IC² is clearly winning that race! Keep up the good work and all the best of luck to thee.
