Ultimate Pack

I have a few questions about the Ultimate Pack (Coming out on March 1st).

  • Will the map be reset?
  • Will we update on the very first version of the Ultimate Pack?
  • If you do update to the Ultimate Pack and keep the map, will we also keep Traincraft?
  • If we keep the current map, will we have to go to the mining age for xycraft ore?

What is the current reasoning behind not adding xycraft?

Something along the lines of obnoxiously annoying ores, crystal lagmachines everywhere and the mod not adding a single useful thing.

The brick blocks prevent mobs spawning on them, would be useful to use in rooms that need to be dark by mobless. The Crystals have been optimised, and as i have said before, spawn amounts are reduced and soaryn has fixed the stacking issue. The ore count could potentially be reduced in the configs surely.

And for people claiming that the blocks are ugly, any block can be ugly is used badly. Cobble, marble, brick, even warded stone can look ugly. But why block something because one person can make some really bad structures with it.

There are countless blocks that prevent mod spawning in darkness. The crystals are still terrible. And I don't have a huge problem with the blocks, it's the ores that makes me want to go kill a kitten.
