    Really cool mod I would really like to try out. I have never played it and have never tested the stability issues but i hope it works out fine. link: http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1841226-172forgesspsmptechmod-pneumaticcraft/ Some suggestions if we do add it.
    • Make a guy at spawn sell the plant seeds because it might be tough to find newly generated terrain
    • Disable the crafting for the dig program block, but don't disable the drones they are a huge part of the mod.
    • if the pressure is to high in the pipes and machines they might explode. probably want to disable that.
    I really hope this mod is added is is a cool tech mod with a twist. The pneumatic helmet looks like it came from iron man and there is a bunch of other really cool features in it.

    I see no reason to not allow pipes to explode if the pressure is too high. Setbacks are valuable learning tools. :)

    To clarify, all explosions do no block damage on Alice anyway, so it wouldn't be a problem.

    Explosions do block damage. It depends on the explosion source. For example, Primal Wand caps (bazooka) do block damage. Laser guns do block damage. IC2 wiring issues destroy blocks.

    Others (TNT, Creepers, IC2 Reactor Overload) do not. It depends on the source.

    Why? The reason to disable block damage is not to remove all risk from the server. It's to A) protect public works from creeper damage, and B) prevent griefing.

    But 90% of player bases are on claimed terrain, where griefing is not really an issue. I see no reason to remove all danger by eliminating the risks associated with playing with fire.

    On a similar note, I think it would be a good idea to enable fire spread, but only in claimed terrain and only if caused by blocks / actions placed by the owner of that terrain. So I could burn my wooden house down, but the fire could not spread outside my claim.

    Block damage from things such as sticks of dynamite are disabled because there is not much practical use for them. People also love setting explosives off in unused land (I'm sure most of us have played with TNT), and it'd be pretty ugly if you came across giant holes in the world caused by these experiments.

    As for machines, unexpected explosions put people off. A lot of people are just learning things and if connecting a furnace to an overly powerful power source blew up everything they owned, they would quit. Explosions from things like nuclear reactors are expected, however.

    However, for simplicity reasons, explosions are just all around disabled.

    Fire spread is enabled as far as I know. Fire spread has been enabled on most of our servers if I recall.

    I'm a bit hazy about the fire spread... I've seen lava next to wood, and trees by lava lakes, and no fire. I was under the strong impression it was disabled, but perhaps I've just never had the right situation?

    Fire by lava may be disabled for the situations that you mentioned: forests spawning next to lava lakes and so on.

    But if you build a wooden fireplace in a wooden house, you might end up with a big hole.

    Fire spread is enabled, otherwise I would've lost my mind clearing forests a long time ago.

    On a more topical note, I think that this would be a good addition. It might need some testing, and MCPC+ will inevitably bug out when using it, but looking at the forum page it looks to be a solid and balanced mod.

    Fire spread IS on. I learned that the hard way when I started rotarycraft and I powered the steam engines with fire...
