    If anyone is curious as to what this modpack is about and what mods are in it, here is a YouTube video giving an overview. See you guys this weekend on AoE!

    Is there any possibility that the launch (and early access) could be brought forwards a day?

    Me personally I'll probably pay for a month of patron so I can join the server early, but for those who can't afford to it does seem kind of unfair to give the patrons the two highest demand days of the week (friday&saturday), and only letting the rest of the player base join on sunday afternoon by which time the weekend is mostly over already...

    Bringing the launch forwards a day would give the most dedicated patron+ players their special early access on thursday, then normal patron players in time for prime-time friday, while still giving everyone else most of the weekend to play.

    Early access for me on Thursday and Friday is pretty much wasted. I would get a couple hours each night but thats it. I really look forward to Saturday and spending the day playing.

    So just because you and prometheus wouldn't personally benefit from it being a day earlier for each level of access no one else should either?

    If there are to be high requests will there be a possibility for an MyM exclusive version for Age of Engineering that has very few mods added such as faster leaves decay, tool leveling from tinkers, and maybe vein miner that is disabled for various blocks to prevent lag spikes.

    This would be similar to how agrarian skies+ was once made to have various mods added.

    If we changed it as you said, this would not carry the same incentive of signing up for patron. The carrot is you get to play before everyone else on what is perceived to be some of the highest traffic days.

    Wyndman, I don't think he is asking for a special version for Patrons vs. Non-Patrons, I think he is asking if we (the entire community) can have a MYM version of AoE that includes faster leaves decay, vein-miner and Tinker's tool leveling. This special version, I'm assuming, can still follow the Patron early access format you have going.

    Also, for the record, don't change the release time, Friday and Saturday for Patrons, and Sunday on for Non-Patrons works perfectly, and pushing it forward would not be fair to the Patrons. If your argument is that the Non-Patrons will not have much time to play during the weekend, pushing it forward just prevents Patrons from much Early Access gameplay, and I would consider it pointless to have a Patron rank at that point.

    EDIT: Wyndman, the posts got me a little confused and didn't realize that you were responding to someone else's comment and not iXo3's.

    Read the message that wyndman replied to it was not mine. That he replied to but someone else's about something different.

    Agrarian Skies + was a lot of work to setup and maintain (some big mods with many new quests were added) but never got the attention we hoped for. So, maybe and unlikely to be soon.

    I don't think he is asking for big mods, just some quality of life additions that make it a little easier, bearable, friendly, etc.

    Fast leaf decay could be added server side without the need on the client side. There might also be a vein miner like mod which works without client mod.

    Veinminer doesn't seem like such a great idea in an open world (non-skyblock) modpack. It lets people quickly mine a lot of stuff and grief stuff to bedrock within minutes. Not to mention disencouraging players to create advanced TiC tools.

    Is it possible to disable veinminer in the over world and keep it in the nether end and farming worlds? Also it was just an idea. If it doesn't go through the so be it. Not like the pack ruined without it.

    I'm not sure veinminer or ore excavtor have such configutations natively available. That's something that would be nice if it was allowed per dimension, but without the mod author adding it themselves it's something we'd need permission to change/add from the author.

    Is it possible to disable certain blocks from being vein mined like stone, cobble, marble, andesite, sand, dirt, etc? Would prevent griefing if all you can vein mine is ores, logs and such.
