#Please practice better version control protocol

It is highly unprofessional and also problematic to push full release versions every few hours just to fix minor things that were overlooked. It must be a nightmare for internal version control and is definitely a nightmare for us mod users. Please take more time between full releases to fix bugs and ensure the update you push actually works. At the very least mark unimportant/untested updates as beta.

#

When there is a bug I have to rollback and test 13 different versions and its such a headache

#

another discord moment 🥀

tranquil jacinth
#

its just a general suggestion

rare sphinx
#

which mod

#

or

#

which bug

tranquil jacinth
#

im talking about every mod

#

your whole modding ecosystem it suffers from your version control

rare sphinx
#

you said theres a bug and instead of reporting it all i hear is a general complaint. dont want to update frequently ? nobody is forcing you to

tranquil jacinth
#

its not 1 bug its hundreds.

#

this has happened over and over for months

rare sphinx
#

talk specifics. if theres an issue tell me what it is. yesterday ive updated a good place. last time i updated that? more than a year ago

tranquil jacinth
#

supplementaries for example has like 5 full release versions every month

#

just wait man

#

test your mods

#

make sure they work

rare sphinx
#

5 isnt a lot

#

if theres a bug and i have a fix, theres 0 value in holding it there

#

people would come to me, complain that theres a bug and it would stay unfixed for months. would that be a better alternative? Ive had to deal with mods that have had blatant bugs with my stuff onn their end and didnt update them in months despite them being trivival. would that be a better "versioning control"?

#

like this is very backwards i hope you see

tranquil jacinth
#

I mean I guess I should just stay on an old version

#

And never update

#

I run a server and version syncing for everyone causes problems

rare sphinx
#

besides continuos delivery is what to stive for in software development. sure my testing could be better but i dont have time to test with all other mods other people have all the time and believe me the reason stuf fsometime also HAS to update often is because its all intertwined so thre isnt even other choices, look at every compat, every time a compat mod it adds stuff to moves an inch, EC likely has to update to accomodate

#

thats usually the case with software. stay on old stable or get the latest nightly build

tranquil jacinth
#

Fair enough I mean you are doing this for free

#

And 1 person team

#

So it's a lot

#

Sorry for being annoying abt it

rare sphinx
#

depends on what you want. if you constantly add new mods you want to use the latter. if not adding new mods and are stable just stay there until you encounter a bug that bothers you. thanks to continous delivery its almost guaranteed that its already fixed. you have no idea how many times by the time a bug was reported here a fix was already out. To think of that as a disservice to users is quite very backward imo

#

btw you didnt say which bug is there

#

im more interested in that . send latest.log

#

i know i have one with map atlases, will fix now

tranquil jacinth
#

i can place it down

rare sphinx
tranquil jacinth
#

?

#

whats that

rare sphinx
#

those dont work?

tranquil jacinth
#

oh so there is no way to use 1 tall flowers in the flower box?

#

how about torchflower

rare sphinx
#

should work i think

#

unless we forgot

#

no sorry

#

its pitcher plant the 2 block tall one

#

torch flower is 1 block tall

rare sphinx
#

ill add a chat message for this since this is third time its been asked. weirdly just recently . they have been like that for a year

tranquil jacinth
#

ok ty

tranquil jacinth
rare sphinx
#

still confused about the flower box thing. was that the bug? i thought you were going to say it was a crash. rest assured that if flower box were indeed bugged them not crashing wouldnt classify for an instant update tbh. i thougth you were bothered by some misterious crash that happened in one of my recent update. now that i could understand

tranquil jacinth
#

the skillet and the cooking pot both cause insta crashes when placed on the my nethers delight stove

rare sphinx
#

send log. i only released a couple of updates for FD fabric, multuple people maintain it. definitely one of the least updated projects since its mostly just following the forge update schedules

rare sphinx
tranquil jacinth
#

i know you dont make that mod just wanted to see if its possible to fix from your end

#

i dont think the dev of that mod has any way to contact them

rare sphinx
#

maybe the crash but their logic wont work

tranquil jacinth
#

but the issue is specfically with the farmers delight stuff

rare sphinx
#

its an addon, it should follow the core mod, not the other way around

#

many things changed in recent fd update and some addons need to update as a result

rare sphinx
#

no discord?
