                    I've been working on adding a new mod, and I ran across a bug which has been in the system for a
                    while now, but which will cause serious problems with a lot of the recipes in the new mod. So, I put
                    the mod aside for a bit to fix it.
                p.
                    The bug was that when you are making something like an <a
                    href="/browse/forge_multipart/oak_wood_cover">Oak Wood Cover</a> the <a
                    href="/browse/forge_multipart/stone_saw">saw</a> wouldn't be part of the crafting plan. This isn't
                    such a big deal for most things, but for this new mod, it would have been a major problem.

                    In between adding new features to the website, I've taken a little break to add support for
                    <a href="/browse/projectred">ProjectRed</a>.  It takes up the mantle of the retired RedPower mod
                    and adds a lot of what that one used to provide: logic gates, cables, pneumatic tubes, and lots and
                    lots of new lights and lamps.

                    Today, I finally reveal the new Crafting Guide website!  While there are only minor changes to the
                    outward appearance, a <i>lot</i> has changed under the covers.  First, you should notice that the
                    general appearance is more consistently "Minecraft" in feel, and everything is quite a bit faster.
                    You should also notice that it works a little bit better on mobile devices (much more on that to
                    come).  Finally, you'll notice that things are organized a bit better than they have been in the
                    past.
                p.
                    If you've used the site before, one thing which has disappeared is the "configure" page.  Now, to
                    say which mods you're using, just go to the individual mod pages and select the version of that mod
                    you've got in your mod pack directly. Just as before, the rest of the website will adjust to use the
                    version you select (or to ignore that mod if you select "no" version).

                    The second contribution comes from <a href="http://github.com/kythorn">Jay Oliver</a> who has
                    added the data files for <a href="/browse/quantum_flux">Quantum Flux</a>. Quantum Flux provides
                    various items for moving RF power wirelessly and manipulating the flow of time.  It also
                    provides some pretty powerful powered armor.

                    The third contribution, from <a href="http://github.com/ThePsionic">ThePsionic</a>, is a
                    BuildCraft add-on called <a href="/browse/logistics_pipes">Logistics Pipes</a>.  This mod adds
                    a whole complex set of pipes which allow automated retrieval, crafting, sorting, and more.

                    I've gotten a few contributions of whole mods recently, and I'm catching up on getting them up
                    on the site.  First up is <a href="/browse/agricraft">Agricraft</a>, contributed by
                    <a href="http://github.com/dragagon">dragagon</a>!  Agricraft takes the idea of crops from IC2
                    and pumps it up to a whole new level with a cross-breeding program that introduces a way to grow
                    anything from native Minecraft flowers all the way up to diamonds!

                    I've been using <a href="/browse/modular_powersuits">Modular PowerSuits</a> myself lately, and I
                    noticed that the newest version (finally!) comes with default recipes.  So, I've updated
                    Crafting Guide to support both the newest vanilla recipes as well as those from Thermal
                    Expansion.  You can switch back and forth on the <a href="/configure">Configure</a> page.

                    Back before the winter holidays, the extremely patient <a href="https://github.com/tdallmann">
                    tdallmann</a> completed support for <a href="/browse/hydraulicraft/">Hydraulicraft</a>, and I'm
                    afraid I'm only now getting it up on the site!  It looks like a neat mod based all around the
                    science of hydraulics with a nicely stepped set of devices to be made at each level. Many thanks
                    to tddallmann for adding it to Crafting Guide!
                p.
                    I also received a submission for adding <a href="/browse/opencomputers">OpenComputers</a> from
                    <a href="https://github.com/yut23">yut23</a>.  Should be a big help to those aspiring Minecraft
                    programmers who want a bit more challege than is provided by <a href="/browse/computercraft">
                    ComputerCraft</a>!  Thanks, yut23!

                    I'm super excited to announce that I've added full multi-block support for Crafting Guide! For
                    example, check out a <a href="/browse/big_reactors/5_core_passive_reactor">5-Core Reactor</a>
                    from Big Reactors, or the <a href="/browse/railcraft/steel_tank_5x5x5">5x5x5 Steel Tank</a> from
                    Railcraft.  I'm really pleased with how it turned out!

                    Remember me?  They guy who runs the site.  Yeah, I'm back, and with big news!  The site now has
                    a completely new crafting algorithm.  Instead of just taking the first crafting plan it comes up
                    with, it tries to compute every possible plan, rates them, and then picks the best one.  This
                    also clears up a lot of bugs related to the old algorithm.  The one drawback is that some items
                    can take a bit longer to compute than with the old way, but I think you'll find it's worth it!
                p.
                    On a personal note, I think it's clear that I don't have nearly as much time to dedicate to the
                    site as I used to.  That's mostly because I started a new job which keeps me away from working
                    on the site so much.  I hope to be able to get into a more regular pace now things my personal
                    life has settled down again.
