What is the policy, if any on updating mod information etc prior to those updates making their way into any FTB pack?

 

For example, numerous changes have been made to Buildcraft, with a totally rewritten power system,  and new items such as the flood gate. 

 

I'd kind of like to just copy any changes/additions I make to minecraftbuildcraft.wikia.com as I make them, rather than trying to remember to add them when a FTB pack is updated.

 

Obviously the text would have to mention that the item/change is in Mod version X which isn't yet included in any FTB pack.

 

Is this going to just confuse the majority of users that don't actually read the majority of the page?

 

Thoughts?

None.

 

But if you will take a look at the soul shard page, it splits up the differences, if the differences you are adding are this dramatic, you may want to do this too.

Perhaps the use of spoilers for the different version information would be appropriate where the changes are numerous e.g. with the GT fusion reactor?

Perhaps indeed.

Or maybe a clickable set of tabs that shows the info all in the same space but you have to click different tabs to get to it.

The Power system hasn't been rewritten... new Pipes have just been added, and different amounts of max MJ for all of them, plus the existing ones.

 

Unless I'm missing something...

In the latest version, not in FTB, the pipes behave totally differently (hence my usage of the term rewrite).

Pipes now have no loss, but maximum power thoughput, and cannot explode, they also only transmit power to another pipe when it requests it and can be looped.

This results in totally different behaviour from previously where the only difference between gold/stone pipe was loss and they'd suck up as much power as they could regardless of it had somewhere to go, until they exploded.
