I will be going live over on my twitch channel in just a couple of minutes.

Come join me for some early game BTW fun!

EDIT: Stream is now over, thanks to all the viewers who joined! If you didn't catch it, you can always rewatch it on my twitch page, linked above!

Okay, episode 9 has been released, and with it the last of the "big, game changing" changes. The rest of the stuff is in my opinion smaller changes, like the burntimes on wood, torch recipe, that sort of thing, as well as the old stuff like stackable potions. You can catch episode 9 here: ...

Would you mind letting me know the correct version of ModLoader for MC1.5.1? I think this is the cause of my BlackScreen issues, because it's happening before patching BTW 4.81 in, and exactly after I patch ModLoader in. :\ http://www.sargunster.com/btwforum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=7096 It's even p...

Man, I have really been slacking in updating this topic. Anyway, the OP is now up to date with the latest Survival of the Fattest. In other news, we have started Live Streaming. This goes for both me personally, and High Stakes as a unit. So far it is all going on my twitch channel at http://www.twi...

Again back with the BTW merch, miniature handcranks (with sound!) and golden turd pendants... I wonder if ThinkGeek or Spreadshirt can supply... :-p

The version of BTW that an episode was recorded under is included in the description. Regarding the Sphax addon, I converted it to the Minecraft 1.5.1 texture method myself, so all the textures that Gainspipr have made are working fine in my version. I have also created a couple of the new textures ...

The OP has been updated with episode 12 of Survival of the Fattest, which was released today!

Also, in other news, preliminary work has actually begun on the keep of the fabled High Stakes castle that we are going to build. I won't say much, but it is going to be big. Like, really big!

Next time it happens, try to press and hold F3 while hitting A. That rerenders the entire world around you.

My tests have shown the amount of seeds to average around 1.3 for every wheat harvested.

Or remove it alltogether. With saturation gone it just shakes all the damn time, making me jumpy and nauseous at the same time.

The short answer would be "nothing". You don't miss out on any new resources, and the changes FC have made has more to do with immersion and "believability". What you will miss out on is the challenge of starting fresh. With the last many releases, BTW has become more of a stand-...

Read the changelog - Tanning leather now, in addition to scoured leather and dung, also requires a number of logs to provide tannin, a substance vital in the process.

All the talk about science here makes no sense whatsoever, as "Diamond" in minecraft is just a name for a material thats hard to obtain and powerful, thus valuable. Like with the video posted in the off-topic section about someone calculating the monetary value of a suit made of diamond, i...

My initial thought when reading the hardcore bouncing change was "oak trees are going to be such a pain now...", but a bit later, it occured to me to use the existing trunk to build a staircase around, making it easier to read the outlying branches anyway. Limitations breed creativity once...

3. The stack-size filter for the hopper lost a lot (most actually) of it's value since all food stacks are size 16 now. You cannot call this an imbalance, but it is a notable change for loot separation. Esp. since splitting iron and rotten flesh is more important now. Iron ingots do NOT drop from z...

It has occurred to me we could use some sort of trading system while players are offline. Perhaps a public building near spawn with inboxes for each player and msg boards for what each player needs and what players are offering. Of course everything would work on the honor system. Last night in gam...

Now I can't resist asking... How do you code so quickly only using one hand?

The High Stakes crew and I have been working on a little something-something. Inspired by threads such as Elevator Pitch for BTW (old thread in the off-topic section), where people have tried to come up with ways of introducing friends and other people to the mod, we have made a proper 'trailer' for...

It's a standard phpBB layout, as far as I know. Seen it on countless other forums.

Having played through the tech tree from wandering nomad to steel and mechanical power since 4.65, I've noted the following: HCH feels great. Nothing more to it, it just feels really awesome. I find myself constantly monitoring my food situation, for quite a long while, ensuring a stable food supply...

CTM = Connected Textures Mod

So you claim it to be both broken and working?

Make sure you are NOT deleting the META-INF folder in the server.jar - This is needed for the client, but it screws up the server.

Other than that, find a way to launch the server with at least one gigabyte of memory allocated. Any less has been known to cause crashes.

If it's just a matter of install order, that would indeed be good news. Are you getting any performance improvement as well? I'm just wondering if MCPatcher is overwriting my changes in your case, although I doubt the game would still work if that was the case. I'm on a pretty high end machine, so ...

Not quite sure exactly how you patch, but in my installation, Random Mobs, CTM, Better Skies and a lot of the Extended HD features are working fine. Uncertain about Custom Colours, but the rest seems to be working quite nicely. Patch order: ModLoader BTW MCPatcher Stuff Not experiencing any loss of ...
