What?

Any games with mods are a good fit for us. Idunno that we're planning on being like the Nexus per se. Our trump card is our technological superiority, automating stuff, etc, which sets us apart from every company operating on user-created content. So many games have great stuff made by the community, but a really tiny portion of the community actually enjoying that stuff, because of the difficulties of putting together an install that uses that content. In Minecraft, 40%(?) of the community is enjoying Forge mods on a regular, active basis. That's unheard of! It's not just us making that happen, of course, there are tons of other launchers and stuff like Multicraft and the Magic Launcher have been around forever. But the point is that Minecraft doesn't just have a community producing great content, we have a community producing better ways to enjoy that content, and that's very unusual. A lot of game communities could benefit from the sort of tech we produce.

Our future tech architecture will have the idea of non-minecraft games in mind, but we don't want to talk about what games or what sort of games we have our eye on, because we're not just some dudes in an IRC channel anymore, and new business thangs take time and discussion. Just know that this new launcher and platform are just the beginning- we want to bring the enjoyment you get from us to everyone.

We argued awhile about the time, I think we're sticking with it.  It is a saturday night so hopefully staying up real late isn't a deal-breaker.  I know that it's made worse by the fact that you guys go on BST that night, which could not be helped.
 
If you can't make it, do the following two things:
1.  Tweet any questions you want us to answer to hashtag #newtechnic so we see it and can answer them on the live stream.
2.  Catch the stream on VOD & youtube when you wake up the next morning.

We've discussed the idea of premium services for pack developers, and it could happen in the future. A subscription for more than 3 slots could I guess be a thing, but it's so easy to create another user with another 3 slots, that I don't know how much demand there'd be, and it seems kind of lame to set an arbitrary limitation and then sell a way to surpass it. We set that limitation to stop people from creating a ton of terrible useless packs, so we should instead look into setting up a way for productive pack developers to get an expansion without cost. I could see a situation where an account could have its limitations lifted if it hard-linked to solder- any pack you create in solder shows in the platform, with no limitations on pack count?

One thing we've discussed (just talk, so far) is a solder subscription service- basically we'd host a solder instance for you, maybe auto-link it to your platform account. That's a real service that we've seen actual demand for, not an arbitrary usage limitation on our users, so the idea really appeals to us.

As for sponsored packs, I doubt we'd do anything like that, but we will be working to open up access to our advertising purchasing process so that if a pack owner wanted to promote their pack, they could buy advertising space on the site or the launcher just like everyone else. We haven't nailed down that process yet, so I can't tell you much more than that we'd like that to happen.


Nope, feel free to post all about your suggestions and thoughts here. As for broken/nonworking packs, it can be difficult to locate packs that have stopped working, without dedicating a lot of processing power to automated testing. Instead, we're going to change the way that packs are surfaced to keep track of runs & installs over the past 7/14 days, and preference those numbers over +1's, so if a pack stops working, then runs will fall off and the pack will no longer be surfaced.

Oh, and that's another thing. We're using a new search service called "elastic search", which aside from being blazing fast, and not as buggy as our current search, allows us to sort & filter by various pack properties. So right now search results are basically arbitrary- we'll be able to sort by popularity or whatever else, so broken packs won't show up on page 1 anymore.

Sorry if it seemed like I was mad or something, I was just trying to explain our position on the oregen.

Our goal with Attack of the B-Team was make something that the B-Team would like to stream, and that meant high oregen, along the lines of Hexxit.  I was actually asked to crank it up a bit and so I did.  That said, this pack fills a similar role in my mind as Big Dig- for me, Big DIg was always about letting me quickly try out a bunch of smaller oddball mods that I didn't have enough time to try out, and I think that B-Team fulfills that role better than BD ever did.  It also has a more well-designated niche, whereas Big Dig was a bizarre amalgamation of tekkit, hexxit, and random crap.
 
That said, the ore config is in there and can be worked on by anyone who wants fewer ores, particularly server owners.  We're probably not going to release an "official" low oregen pack, because the pack as distributed is the official.  If you want a more metered experience with tech tiers, that's what Tekkit is for, and if it's not doing it for you at current, I'd rather address that than turn B-Team into Tekkit.

1.0.9c has been created & promoted to recommended.  http://www.technicpack.net/article/view/attack-of-the-b-team-109c-is-now-recommended.71
 
The crash with NEI for java 1.6 users was fixed, we also updated to the now stable latest version of project: red and a newer version of better storage.

Hey, it looks like chicken bones abandoned java 1.6 support in the most recent update.  I'm going to ask him if that was intentional, and that's certainly a pain, but java 1.8 will be released soon (meaning we will abandon 1.6 soon as well), so I'd definitely recommend updating to 1.7.
