The community is everything, thanks for being part of it!

So this is a spare time side project that me and some old collage friends started more then 1 year ago, I did the code part while they did the graphics, animations and sounds.
 
This game is called Taponaut, it's a small free mobile game that we did more for practice and see if we can actually do it, it's not monetized and the game idea was to control an astronaut and help him fly over obstacles and try to go as far as you can, there is also a stats area with achievements and best high score scoreboard.
The game is available for download on Apple App Store, Google Play, Amazon Store and Galaxy Store, please give it a try and leave us some feedback if you can.
As a challenge try to beat my high score  , give it a try and leave some feedback. Thanks!
Here is the game website with more details, social media and download links: https://robotpixelstudio.com/

Granted, but the floor you're standing on no longer exists, so you fall and break your legs. 
I wish I were more intelligent. 

Granted,but you spelled it wrong (I wish i was more intelligent) so it won't come true.
I wish the responses would actually make sense to the questions prior cough cough.

Damn Nukes,nice to meet you!
Glad we could staff together for a little time!

Been on this network for what now? over 2 years? might be a little overdue to do one of these.

A short description of yourself: I'm an Avionics engineer (category B2)
I'm a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to my professional carreer (and everything i deem in need of professional behaviour, such as staffing). But that doesn't mean I'm never pleased with the work done, as long as things go as they were intended to go, it is satisfactory. mind you, satisfactory does not mean perfect, i can always find ways to improve efficiency or the method. Just because i give criticism on your work doesn't mean i don't like you, I just give you points to improve upon and feel free to do the same.
I used to staff on Tekkit, DW20 1.7 and Revelation from May 2017 to around June 2018. People who played on the network during that time may recognize my name and/or methods (oh dear). The staffing and the network never fully left me, but i have noticed a change in practically everything involved with Craftersland. Both for the better and for the worst, so take that as you will.

Can we also get a world border increase with the wipe? It would be much appreciated Bruny  

There is nothing wrong with astral.. idk why people complain about it so much.

Yus,if we do wipe,let's implement some changes to help some mods to the spawn(astral)!

Yus,if we do wipe,let's implement some changes to help some mods to the spawn(astral)!

If I can I will add this to spawn in an empty section with Henk and Bruny's permission. About the price that is not up to me so I can not give you anything for that however I will ask if I can add the shrine to spawn. 

Ok guys, so here it is, long long wait, and lot's of plugins updated to fix issues, and more will come later.
 
Many changes were done to get here and I don't have a full changes list, we tried to implement the same features with improvements. Some old plugins needed to be re-coded as we didn't even had source code. The old server was running on spigot 1.7.10 with a protocol hack for 1.8.8 clients to connect so update to 1.13.2 was a major step, this was needed and future updates will be much faster now that we coded most of the plugins and we own the code.
 
Since the last update topic we focused on bug fixes and tweaks, implemented the scoreboard with stats, VIP perks, buycraft integration, anti-hack and some other stuff.
 
Another big change was the permissions system, because of this importing ranks from the old server is not possible so players that bought a rank will have to post a request for rank re-activation so they get the rank on the new server.
Please post the request here: https://forum.craftersland.net/forum/223-rank-transfer/
 
So the old server is now closed, you can only join the new updated AssassinS server right now, the server had a data WIPE so everyone starts fresh. If you find issues please post it on forum.
 
Here is a list of all update topics:

ill wait for someone older than 10 to respond

That really does bring you back to when the hubs actually looked nice lol,definetly would rather have this one than the bland small one we have now,great job!

Hi fellas, recently i was looking for some stuff on my pc, and i found something that i made a long time ago when i was Architect, i didnt remembered i built this, The only person who saw this Hub was powerwarp, we made it a really long time ago, but we never decided about using it or not,  so i never posted it, some days ago when i found this i though, why not posting this for the Craftersland community, What do you guys think? Do you guys like it? It took me and my friend matt some hours of hard work to finish it, hope you guys like it. ( also have alot of random maps, maybe posting them in the future? )
 
Note: This is not a suggestion for a new craftersland Lobby/Hub, and it won't be added, its just an idea we had some time ago.
 

 

 
 

 

 

Your Name: Existenter
Coordinates: Home coordinates of my base are x 2184, z -2314, y 63, but issue is located on top adjacent mountain (between my base home point and the world border and only a few blocks away from the world border; unfortunately I can not think of a way to find out the coordinates of the chunk in question, but it should definitely be within one of the chunks immediately adjacent to the world border).
Time/Date: Sep 23, 2018, ca. 11:00 AM (GMT+2; CEST)
Description of Issue: After placement of an Astral Sorcery containment chalice, two lightwells, and putting two rock crystals into them to create liquid starlight, both ShinyPorygon and me keep getting kicked from the server as soon as we enter the area with the following error message: "connection lost: illegalArgumentException: Unknown meta type 15 @ net.md_5.bungee.entitymap.EntityMap:200". I assume that somehow a particle or entity is created/requested that the server can't handle, thus kicks all players entering this area.
Would it be possible to either remove those items, or to reset the chunk(s) in question (I. e. that/those next to the world border)?
Thank you!

Time for the 5th Newsletter everyone!
We've had tons of progress this month, with a bunch of behind-the-scenes improvements and stability patches. As of the end of last month we expanded to our 5th Dedicated machine, which allowed us to allocate a bit more resources to the servers we currently host, so you might have noticed they have been running a bit more smoothly :-) There was also a big chunk of updated from the FTB team for our 1.12 servers.
 
There is also a huge project in the works behind the scenes... that should guys should hear more about very very soon.

Fancy screens!
Thanks to the help of a returning staff member, @Danielkinz (and secretly thanks to @Jet_Mapex2 for bringing him out of the shadows ? ) He was able to perform a beautiful patch to one of our favorites mods; Extra Utilities 2. Now we are now able to display high resolution screens at our Sponge server(SF3, DW1.12, Rev and Cont) and so far have added all but SF3 

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
 
FTB Continuum 1.4.1 1.5.2!
 
Continuum finally launched after some hardcore testing by our testing team, special thanks to @Towilloughby , @ShinyPorygon and @Terminator for your excellent testing! As well as @TheDauntlessOne for your extraordinary building abilities and terraforming. 
We are very happy with the launch of Continuum, it launched very stable and has been running very stable for the last few weeks. Knock on wood. And we've even gone thru a FTB update from 1.4.1 to 1.5.2! This update was huge as it updated the majority of the mods in the modpack, with this it also fixed some major lag issues that were far in the end-game.
With the launch of Continuum we also changed our Market plugin to UniversalMarket, this will soon before a staple of our 1.12 modded servers, as it is more user friendly than it's predecessor and more closely resembles GlobalMarket that we use on our 1.6.4 and 1.7.10 modded servers! 
To add this market plugin a wipe is required, hence why SF3 and Revelation are still on the old market plugin.
 
Changelog for Continuum, between 1.4.1 and 1.5.2

MANAGEMENT TEAM UPDATES
 
We once again have some updates to our management team, unfortunately Yusixs has moved to a retirement status due to reasons I don't wish to enclose, it is his own decision and I think we all ought to respect that He's been apart of staff for almost 2 years now and things that he has put into motion will always be here- like this newsletter. 
But because of this change to the management team we had to expand, as we are also launching our 8th modded server it was too much for bruny to run maintenance twice a week for. So we decided to bring a few staff members into the management team so that they can help out with rollback issues and more! Internally, and personally, I call them the "Elite team", but there isn't really a name for it... they are managers
 
Allow me to Introduce...
 
@Manyouforgot - Infinity Evolved & Direwolf 1.7 Manager
@DragonLady - Tekkit & Direwolf 1.12 Manager
@EPICfighters - Continuum Manager
@Terminator - SF2 & SF3 Manager
@geri33 - Revelation Manager

I will still be here as well dealing with everything between heaven and earth, but I will also handle Network due it it's complexity.

REVELATION UPDATE 2.5.0
Revelation went from being version 2.4.1 to a 2.5.0, and it follows the Continuum update in which it was mainly to update the majority of the mods the modpack has to offer. Bringing more stability to the pack and fixing individual bug issues 
 
If there are any bugs on the server, be sure to report them HERE.

DIREWOLF20 1.12.2 UPDATE

Following the update of FTB Revelation and Continuum came the update of Direwolf20 1.12.2, and just like these update, this was mainly a maintenance update, but apart from the other modpacks this did bring a few exciting additions.
A Mod called "FastFurnace" was added and changes how Minecraft handels Furnace recipes, as there are tons of recipes out there that usese the furnace nowadays a new method had to be thought up, and that is what FastFurance does, instead of going thru the registry it instead caches the recipes for easy and quick access! This should help improve performance.
Apart from FastFurnace, another mod by the name " The Monk Mod " was added. A small mod by the creator behind Extra Utilities, which grants you extra powers upon reaching goals in the game. To learn more about the mod you should check out the video bruny recommended that covers this mod: HERE
 
But more notably... together with this update we did a full wipe of the server and ran some maintenance, adding the new market plugin I spoke of earlier. If you miss your house you had on the old server you can still download the map for singleplayer use HERE 
If you see any issue on the server however, please report it HERE

GUIDES

Exchanging Storage System: Thanks to @ShinyPorygon for putting up a guide how to change between Refined Storage system to Applied Enegistics- This is something we still highly recommend as Refined Storage has had it's fair share of issues, most notably excessive lag and loss of drives due to mod updates. Switching it up is more than recommended! Don't worry, you'll learn how to manage the channels in no time, and actually you might even enjoy it. Personally, channels were my favorite additions to Applied Energistics 2.
Read full guide HERE

Making plates: And again thank you to @ShinyPorygon for writing a simple introdcution on how to make plates on the revelation server, as the process in doign this may differ between packs it is always helpful to have a place to go when you get stuck on something.
Read full guide HERE
 
(Any future guides will be showcased on this section of the newsletter in the future! Be sure to make great builds!)

MINETWEAKER, LAUNCHER AND FUTURE UPDATES!

Some, or probably most of you guys have no idea what " Minetweaker " is and have never heard of it. For those guys, it is a mod on the server and client side that adds scripts to your modpacks. These scripts allow you to customize crafting recipes, tooltips, search options for NEI. It is very useful and it is what servers like Infinity Evolved Expert mode base their entire ideology on. Now, what are we going to do with Minetweaker?
Well, Minetweaker is very useful for us server managers too! As it allows us to change things that might not really work on a large scale like a server, or display useful information ingame that would be more accessible and user friendly. There is only one issue when it comes to MineTweaker, is that for it to run successfully - most of the time - it would have to be downloaded by the client or otherwise the entire mod would have to be reloaded when a new player logs online. (This is a bad idea, and the mod author stricly advices against this "If you value your World... ")
So in future updates of the Launcher, we will include these scripts so that you guys don't have to think about it one bit. We have started exploring this on our 1.7.10 server, Infinity Evolved. To get an idea on how the end results would look like, it would be something like this:
 
Tooltips:
Searching the NEI after installing the file above, with these Keywords below:
 
Banned
 
Restricted
 
But not only banned items would be viewable thru this, Craftersland actually add a bunch of custom crafting recipes that often to unnoticed due to you not being able to search it up thru NEI, but most of these have a forum post attached to them to explain how the craft is made. This would also be fixed with this sort of update, as the recipes are then viewable thru your NEI!
 
Custom
 
 
We are looking to bring this to our 1.7.10 servers, as 1.6.4 doesn't have Minetweaker, and our 1.10 and 1.12 servers use a similar mod called CraftTweaker, but is much more unstable and not very user friendly to use. One small mishap and the entire mod goes under... bad idea to mess with
 
 
PS...
The Forum now shows has a direct link to our launcher up at the top row, it's easy to miss ?

Due to the recent bugs with Refined Storage or RS many people have logged on to find their RS drives are gone along with everything in them. To add to that we can not for some reason rollback RS drives. Therefore once your drives are gone your stuff in them are gone permanently, we can refund you new drives but they would be empty.
 
Instead if you would like you can make a refund request requesting us to exchange your RS system for an Applied Energetics 2 or ME system. How this works is you would take what you have on your RS system (Crafting Grid, Drives, Storage Cells, ect) and then figure out what that item is for the ME system which it should be called very near the same thing, then put that list on the Refund Request. And whenever a staff member for Revelations can we will leave you a chest or give you the items if you are on the server. However once you tear down your RS system please leave it in a chest or give it to a staff member so we can delete it. 

=========================================
 









 
That's it, happy browsing around.
We will add to this guide as we see fit.
 

We will look at this when we update CTW to 1.12 instead of 1.8-1.12, since we need to rework the plugin that puts you into the game server. As today they are hardcoded in place meaning that we can't really move them at all or all of CTW breaks . And that makes it difficult to paste something in with worldedit if there are pieces so sacred ?
 
The update to CTW will happen together with the network-wide update when we fully release ACv2 and (unfortunately) shut down ACv1, and we are really close to that now.. only some bugfixes left.
 
Do note... that I'm not saying that we will add this build, I'm just saying that we will review and reconsider it when the time is right.
 
Personally, i think it looks great If anything, I'm not a big fan or the signs and names everywhere- I realise that as a builder you want to credit your work but I just think it looks forced and out of place- and I even think the same of the graveyard. While it is a cool idea to credit old staff members some of those have actually come back, like Bas, and some of them actually got kicked.. It's one side of Craftersland that you players don't really see
