This is all I found:

Hammer (or FZDS, for FactoriZation Dimensional Slices) is a WIP engine upgrade for Minecraft that gives it the ability to move and rotate chunks arbitrarily. It is used to implement the Colossi and the Twisting Block, with more things to come. Unfortunately there are some bugs that happen with Optifine & bukkit/spigot/cauldron right now, and I'm not really able to fix them. However there will also be bugs with other mods, so please let me know about them. Hammer can be disabled by editing hammerChannels.cfg.

As that quote says, it's WIP (work in progress). Other people have reported similar bugs in the Factorization thread on Minecraft Forums:
http://www.minecraftforum.net/forums/mapping-and-modding/minecraft-mods/1284592-factorization-0-8-89-completely-unhinged-i-mean?page=135

I would wait till there's another update to Factorization in the Direwolf20 pack before trying to take it on. Someone in the thread above reported being unable to join the server after trying to mine the cracked block, so there's that risk too.

Are IC2 wires still lossless or did they change it back?

It's buggy and will kick you from the server if you're in the chunk with it it seems, but it has a little window when you load it where it acts like normal blocks before it starts using the hammer stuff I guess. So best thing is to avoid them, but if you do get stuck with it like I did before you just keep trying and it eventually works.

It's currently sitting around without the cracked blocks, it should be dead but seems to be acting like its inactive at the moment. So guessing it's actually safe for now, though it should have actually died and vanished instead of what it's doing. It's sort of on a angle across some blocks as well so its a bit glitchy to mine parts off it but the most annoying part of it is done with.

Just the biggest problem with it at the moment is it acts like normal blocks while like an entity at the same time. So the way it seems to bug most commonly was to go invisible or for it to act as an entity and for it to become impossible to interact with the blocks. Relogging and trying in that small window was how I got around it and probably how they should be dealt with at all until they fix it. Thing is just to stop it from wandering off because of how it has the potential to kick people while it moves around.

In the mean time, dark, can you offer its drops for free? They're an entry into the mod now...

The Logic Matrix Programmer will still be in dungeon chests in the chunks generated before before the previous update (so 95% of the current map). I think I have a couple and you only ever need one, so you can have one from my stores if necessary.

The logic matrix controller and identifier items are craftable as before.

The colossal blocks have no use (other than trophies).

Did I miss anything?

**Melissia**

I think it was the programmer that was the important one, yes. Thanks, I'll grab one from your stores. Is it used up in the process, or is it a catalyst?

**darkinnit**

It's not used up in the process no (that's why you only ever need one) and you can craft a second one if you have one, using a dark iron ingot and a blank logic matrix.

I'm raiding a Twilight Forest Aurora Tower right now, but if I get back to my base before you're on, I'll leave it out somewhere obvious.

I've left it at spawn on a table next to the mining age portal. Right click the top of the table to pick it up.

I had three of them, so you can keep that one.

**Melissia**

Thanks! I want to explore that mod now.

**darkinnit**

I have updated the Direwolf20 server to version 1.4.1 of the modpack. No collected changelog is available yet, but individual mods will have their respective changelogs on their respective sites if you want to dig through them.

**darkinnit**

I have updated the Direwolf20 server to version 1.6.1 of the modpack. I have disabled the Dimension Builder crafting recipe from RFTools, because I want to keep server storage requirements down.

Changelogs are available here:

**Melissia**

... hate to be a necromancer here, but I'm wondering if there's been any more updates, or if this still works at all?

**darkinnit**

It's still running, and still works. However it's still on version 1.6.1 of the Direwolf20 modpack. I hadn't bothered to update it to the newer versions as there's been lack of interest.

I could update it, but it might not be until next week at the earliest, as I've got a busy weekend ahead.

I'f there's a newer or better modpack available, we could go for that too, with a reset, if there's enough interest. I've been a bit out of touch with the modpacks lately. Alternatively, is it worth waiting for some Minecraft 1.9 packs now that modding has started on there?

**Matt.Kingsley**

Yeah it probably is best to wait until a 1.9 mod pack is released, if only because some mods are skipping 1.8 entirely or are only updating the bare minimum for 1.8.

Tbh I'm not even sure there's a functioning 1.8 FTB mod pack out yet, but that's only because I haven't really been paying attention to mod packs...

**Melissia**

I don't mind waiting for a 1.9 one if they're being worked on.

**Anvildude**

Honestly, unless you specifically need to be playing with all us Dakkaites, it's easy enough now to put together your own 'mod pack'. Forge makes most modding rather easy, and Realms or LAN work allows for multiplayer if that's what you want. That way, you can cherry pick the mods you want. Just be sure to test the world before starting to play in earnest, and do frequent backups if you want to add new mods in.

**Xeriapt**

I would be interested in playing again if there is a reset. Havent played in a long time so it would be fun.

**Inquisitor Lord Bane**

Now that I finally have a computer capable of running it, I'm jumping on

**Dr. What**

I'd love a clean slate/modpack. Playing with all of Dakka was a ton of fun.

**Inquisitor Lord Bane**

I'd be ok with a clean slate, maybe update to 1.10 if anything.

**Melissia**

I'm okay with a clean slate.

**4oursword**

I've got serious Railcraft cravings and was thinking of making a return

Clean slate would be cool- I assumed that there would have been a map reset since I last played, it was a nice surprise to find my tower still on the map.

**Melissia**

I have no idea what I still have on the server, to be honest. So a clean slate doesn't bother me at all.

**Avatar 720**

Yeah, I can't remember if I even have anything on this server at all, never mind what it could possibly be. Waiting for a 1.9 reset would be fine for me.

**Melissia**

Oh I know I have stuff. I have stuff that I built together with n0t_u. It's been so long though that I don't remember what any of it is XD

I've started getting into the mod packs and there's now a 1.10.2 mod pack from curse called "all the mods" I'm not sure if they're worth upgrading into, I've been playing on infinity evolved because they have thaumcraft and magic wands and bow ties are cool

the mod list:

Spoiler:

https://mods.curse.com/modpacks/minecraft/242462-all-the-mods

the other 1.10 modpack is from feed the beast, but as they named it "unstable" I think that says a lot about that modpack.

**sirlynchmob**

PS, dark did you update the server? I tried to log on to it on the 7th using direwolf and there was a long list of mods that weren't compatible.

Sorry I haven't changed anything on the Direwolf server since my post above, it will still be on version 1.6.1. If you downloaded the Direwolf modpack recently, you've probably got the newer version. There is an option in the launcher to choose a version, just be careful mixing versions with any single player worlds you have.

**sirlynchmob**

Does anyone know who has Oblivion bees? I'm working on my bees and it looks like the end got stripped of the oblivion hives.

and also does anyone have any attuned bees?

I'd like to get a hold of one breeding set if anyone can help me out.

**darkinnit**

Better late than never, the server has been updated to version 1.10.0 of the Direwolf20 modpack

RFTools changes
I've enabled the creation of dimensions with two limitations:

You can only create void dimensions

You can only have two dimensions per player

As void worlds won't have dimensional shard ore, I've enabled the option for dimensional shards to have a recipe:

You can craft it but this recipe won't show up in NEI unless you also enable the option in your own config files:

config/rftools/main.cfg

**sirlynchmob**

Sweet, thank you so much.
