I feel like if they had just taken it slow things would have worked out better, instead everyone is mad at everyone right now. Add a donate button, go from there.

So SkyUI, pretty much one of the most essential mods for Skyrim(cause god the default UI is so terribad) is going paid. Not sure when, but one of the creators is making an update after a year or something just so he can make it paid with new content. Like I and everyone said, getting paid for your work and dedication isn't wrong, but this isn't the way to do it.

EDIT: Also realize my first sentence started out exactly like the title from this Reddit thread I was reading, whoops: https://www.reddit.com/r/skyrimmods/comments/33quz6/skyui_pretty_much_one_of_the_most_essential_mods/

https://archive.is/PaB5b A part of me wants to feel bad for this guy, since I think out off all the new paid-mod stuff going on, he is definitely getting the most shit. And Valve is pretty much treating him like shit. I want to call him the fall guy for all of this, seems like he was sweet talked into something then when he really needed Valve's support they just kind of ignored him. Whole situation sucks.

As for the guy who used a dependency that was separate, I still think it's a shitty thing to do, but if no one downloads the dependency he technically isn't profiting off of another person's work right?

Why can't we just have a donation button or thing that's supported by Valve/Steam? Why do they and Bethesda HAVE to make money off of it, haven't they already made enough by people BUYING the game? And also, why is Valve possibly deleting links to donation pages on certain mods? https://i.imgur.com/wW5j5yu.png (this mod was actually taken off the workshop, so I'm not sure what's going on there).

I feel like the entire field of modding just got a lot more confusing and shitty. Just think about what this would do to other games. Garry's Mod, Space Engineers, Portal 2, L4D2. All of these games really rely on the modders to keep them alive for years and years after they normally would run otherwise(which is probably why Skyrim was chosen to beta this, it's a prime example of that). If all of these had paid-mods, would anyone actually buy them? I know I personally wouldn't, it's not that I don't think they should get supported for their work, they should, just not in this way.

There are more things I want to say but I'm about to crash.

EDIT: Also, agree with your first 3 points, 1 made me laugh, imagine a 'free trial' for a mod. I mean hell, someone already had an early access mod that would go up in price when it came out of development.

it appears most of my mapping breakthroughs happen when i'm trying to procrastinate from doing other things, such as studying. Because fuck studying.
Indeed, the progress on my current map began with me being bored while studying for a test. And anytime I have to do homework hammer mysteriously opens. I swear to god it's just there, like "Hey bro, you got homework, well what about adding some more stuff to this area of the map? What about that idea you had bro?".

I was looking for Ep2 mods/maps the other day when I stumbled upon the new site, the images for the mod I was looking at all had the PlanetPhillip logo on them and I was really confused. I thought some site was just piggy backing off of PP, then I saw this thread, the new site looks good though. Makes me want to actually finish a map with proper lighting and details :\

Mainly cute girls be liking it PB, some dudes like it too(aka me). Only reason I started watching it was because so many girls were cosplaying as it at ComiCon so I gave it a go, and loved it. I see people wearing AoT hoodies and stuff sometimes.

It's like Doctor Who, it's not widely watched, but a lot of people do know what it is.

I say soon to be because while it's already public, no one knows what it does, or where it is yet. I just need to add in a storage room for overflow and a wall around it for protection. Then we can all enjoy [Redacted] together!

So trying to breed villagers was getting annoying and pissing me off, so I took a break for a bit and built something in the woods. Halloween is around the corner and I thought I would something festive.
User posted image
It's a semi-automated [REDACTED] factory! It's not done yet, but it is definitely getting there, only one more [REDACTED] farm to build, which is the furthest building back, and it's output should be satisfactory. Only took a day or so of mining the redstone and such for clocks, and the iron for hoppers, the hardest parts were designing the redstone timers and making all of the mechanics compact and hidden, many designs were considered from all over the internet, and capturing the chickens for eggs. The only downside to the design is to craft the [REDACTED] you have to run around to each farm for the materials, then find a bench to make them at. So yeah, hopefully this thing works out well. Then it's back to the villager breeding grind :cry:

If anything I'm going to either A. Make an underground/aboveground rail to spawn from my base, or B. Hook up my nether base with Tawnos' proposed nether spawn(as well as build a rail station or two there so other builds can hook up. Which is something we need to talk about, all the random rails/lack of rails was annoying last map, we need order!) So at some point I'll be hooked in.

I'd rather have a farm. It's just easier in the long run. But that doesn't matter, golems only drop iron when killed by action on the players part. So yea, they purposefully broke iron farms. Which is a dick move. I always thought MC was a game where the players were able to choose how they played, guess not. Why does Mojang have to kill all the fun? Nothing was better than finishing off a huge iron farm and watching the golems fall and burn. So much iron. It was glorious.

EDIT: Wait no, ok, so I'm reading the change logs update by update over the last few months, which is confusing, so first they did the change I mentioned, but the following week removed it. So I guess they still work. Really confusing, I think as long as I can gather up 10 villagers I should be fine!

EDIT II: More reading, I guess farmers will only farm if mob grief is on. Weird setting. Poop, guess I better stock up on trading materials.

EDIT III: So, the mass of my villagers just got turned into zombies. I don't know how, all the holes are covered in their containment cell. I was about to move over a few more villagers to hopefully reach 9. So yeah. At this point it's 2 steps forward 3 back.

I really hate this new system of villager breeding. It's a pain in the ass to get them to breed now. Why do they keep fucking up mechanics that work.

EDIT: So yea, I can't get more than 3 villagers at a time. The whole 'Willing' system is fucked, and I can't find an easy way to make it less so. Probably not going to be an Iron Grinder this time if I Can't figure this out. Really frustrating.

EDIT II: So my system works in single player, but not on multiplayer, which makes no sense. I don't get what is happening. There is no difference to how I'm building stuff. It should work. Mojang fix yo game.

In other news, my rail from TWHL town to my base is functional, it ain't pretty, but it goes from point A to point B. And my rail from my base to my semi-functional mob grinder works to, which really it's a rail to the iron grinder, with a stop for the mob grinder on the way. In short if you want Music Discs and have the patience of an airbender you can head over to my mob grinder to try your luck at getting some.

In other news, rail from TWHL Town to my surface base is functional, but not complete. Rail to the mob grinders is still being worked on.

And as much as I want to finish my builds, what's the point, we don't know when 1.8 will drop. It could be months, it could be tomorrow. I could start building and the next day it will all be for nothing.
