Questions and Answers
Q: Was Calclavia the original author?
A: No, he did create the first belts but was not the author of Assembly Line. After making the first blocks he traded the mod off to Elusive Hawk and then to me. I took the mod called it Assembly Line and brought Calclavia back into the project.
Q: Why so long to update the mod?
A: When I merged the mod into Resonant Induction I basically gave up on the idea. Recently I decided I wanted to work on the concept of advanced automation. This started with giving the new rail blocks a home in the mod.
Q: When will content "XXXXX" be added back?
A: Either when I get enough time or interest in reviving the content. Right now there are enough mods that fill the needs of a few of the old items. Belts are a great example of this with at least 12 mods having low tech versions. Don't worry though, I will rebuild every piece of content and give it a new flair of creativity.
