Stardust Memories updated to version 0.9.9
Invariably the largest update to the modpack yet, this one adds an entire new class of mods: Science mods.
Specific changes are too numerous to quantify, though some big ones are:
+AcademyCraft added, every major science mod also added to compliment it.
+More esoteric science mods added, including the most recent beta for Techguns and also the TARDIS mod.
+Project E has been heavily nerfed, with the "more difficult recipes" config enabled; anything that required a diamond (which was a lot of stuff) now requires a full-fledged nether star, which can only be acquired through defeating a wither or reverse-crafting one of very few items (which itself is only possible after having completed a majority of the Ars Magica magic mod).
+FTBUtilities added; want to host a LAN world with some of the dynamic capabilities of a server? Well now you can.
+One of the million star wars mods (Pretty sure it's the big one from 1.4) has been added, which doesn't actually do much to anything besides adding three new ores... unless you go looking for it. Give it a chance and you'll easily forget you're still playing this modpack.
+A "Technomancy" Thaumcraft addon was added, which appears to be an attempt at bridging the gap between magic and science. For good measure, Thaumic Energistics - popularized by Blightfall - was also added.
+Aesthetics have been revamped, with Dynamic Surroundings adding such things as falling leaves, cylindrical trees and atmospheric audio.
+Starminer added. That's that one mod that adds way too many planetoids to the game and also allows you to walk on walls and alter your gravity and I have no idea how it works but it's cool (though it's subject to removal by version 1.0 if it causes problems).
+Re-added Aether II (by popular demand)!
~The chisel mod was replaced with itself because the Techguns mod was getting picky about it.
-Removed Smart Moving, because honestly nobody liked it and it conflicted with too many things anyway (such as, apparently most prominently, any kind of 3D-armours, like Thaumcraft's Void Mage set, which permanently faced south as a result of Smart Moving's player animation overhaul. I think I left RenderPlayerAPI there, though).
-Removed the Shaders mod (because it was replaced with Optifine which itself is minor enough a point that it need not be mentioned).
This was supposed to be version 1.0, but I noticed that it lacked the options file which meant the controls were automatically set to their default values... which spells disaster to new players. If playing on this version or any before it, please configure your controls before starting the game! This, and I wanted a kind of tutorial world added as well, so when I get around to uploading *another* version of the mod, it'll just be the same thing but with these kinds of nitpicks. Of course, if certain mods should be removed, try to notify me and I'll see what I can do. Before that, however, try simply playing the game without the mod in question installed - since there's no official server (yet), there's no harm in simply keeping a mod out of the game with every update.
Anyway, we'll see how things go! There's totally going to be a server by version 1.0 (and that'll be the deciding factor for naming it 1.0 in the first place) so let's just hope that I manage to make that server sometime. Who knows, this modpack could be huge someday! Hahahah... I digress. Thanks for reading, I'll see you all at version 1.0!
