Not to mention metal handles also would impart the entire force of an impact up the length of the tool, so when you hit that pickax against that hard rock it is going to go "PIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGG!!!" And your going to feel this lovely numbing/painful shock in your hands/arms. Trust me I tried it once wit ha sledgehammer .. the handle broke so I go the brilliant idea to use a iron pipe... I quickly changed my mind.

Honestly I don't see anything wrong with the chests, I'm actually waiting for Bioxx to make the player inventories smaller to match the decrease in chest size.. Heaven forbid you'll have to make a dedicated storage area or work with other people on SMP.... Though honestly I can't say I've ever had anyone mess with my things on a SMP server without asking first, generally the communities I join or are part of we won't try to screw one another over.

Ya Javalins also break far too easily in melee combat and you might as well be punching a zombie with the damage they do. If I'm spelunking the last thing I want to do is get in a poke fight with something that goes BOOM in the night and only have one on me.

Yes but we don't have hundreds of tons rolling over our rails at one time either really =p But there is a discussion over in the suggestions part of the forums for this exact what is brought up here

Concerning the cross bow... Wood(Or Horn) was actually quite commonly used for the longest time in their creation then they eventually moved up to Iron and Steel (Depends on how rich you were and once they could make it pure enough that it didn't shatter). BUt those Crossbows made the modern ones look like a bad joke..They could have upwards of a 700-1000lb draw on them while the average long bow is only 80-110lbs. As for the Mechanisms well those are very very simple things and were commonly made from bronze (Or iron later on) and only really require a 4-5 pieces (This is including pins and the like that hold them inside) So in reality crossbows aren't "complex" by any means Hell think the Chinese were making them as far back as 400-200BC http://www.computers...on/crossbow.htm <--One source I managed to find

Well instead of Engraved rails why not just go for wooden rails that would have a lower top end speed and more virtual friction which would slow it down faster (Think I had already said this earlier on) Because wooden tracks were generally used in mines because under the dank conditions where you might loose your haul.. Why spend precious metal? Wooden rails would suck for use over long distance because it was slow and won't keep a lot of inertia but that is where the perk of upgrading to Iron rails would be useful letting you go long distances. Though instead of just using Coal like in Railcraft ,which honestly makes no sense seeing as the main source for Creosote is actually Trees... Pinetrees being one of the best (There are some swamp trees too that are even better but.. ya slow growers and hard to get). But there is also other way to get it. Though honestly Creosote Oil might be a LITTLE too new since it came into discovery and use 1832

I wouldn't mind if on the GUI for the Bloomery that is there was a way to activate the Bellows attached so you could pump them from within that so you don't have to close then open the menu every time you want to start pumping the bellows. And Just_Another_Guy I do believe you can use the bellows with the forge (never tried it myself but I haven't been playing lately)

Well the funny thing is generally bellows aren't put on the side of a Forge or Bloomery, they are put under the coal so you are pumping air directly under/into the coals so you supply more oxygen (More Oxygen, richer fire, Richer fire, More heat) So even back in the ancient days of Egypt and copper tools they had foot bellows

Yup I never got the point of building a Forge high up, since higher up you would have less dense air meaning less oxygen so the fire would burn cooler.. Not hotter.But Also for the same reason you don't want to build a forge underground... That hot fire is sucking up a ton of oxygen, so you'd have to be pumping more air down into the cave/tunnel just so the fire can breath.. and so can you!

Ya normally you don't pluck chickens until after you kill them , mostly because their feathers do have blood vessels connected to them and that would makea bloody mess (and likely kill the poor thing) But like all birds Chickens do drop feathers year round much like we shed old hair

Or Bioxx could toss in a silly achievement for when you eat so much rotten flesh and name it "The worms crawl in. The worms crawl out, Up your nose and out your mouth!"

Why does rotten meat fill more then normal meat... That is simple! All the extra protein from all the maggots!

I don't have a problem with people being able to crawl through a small single block hole, but I do find the unlimited sprinting of Smart Movement that bypasses the hunger restrictions to be cheating.It's like using a backpack mod along with TFC, it defeats the point of Bioxx limiting what a player can carry at once.

I'm well aware, like I had stated Flint use to be the limiting factor on making a large stock pile of arrows, and now it is feathers being the limiting factor.Because when you are making arrows not just any feather will work if you are putting the fletching on them, they normally have to be the larger feathers that are nice and stiff (AKA flight feathers)

Well arrows were fairly scare as it was because they used flint, and flint was a very, very limited thing before so not much has changed in that matter other then you could hunt skeletons for a source of arrows. But in all honestly you don't really Need feathers to make an arrow, it just helps make them more stable in long flights so they were more accurate.
