Hello! I was noticing there was a certain lack of a feature that's available in AE2 and, if memory serves, was in AE1. A grind stone, a way to hand crank ore double early game. AE2 isn't available for 1.12 so this feature is missing and sorely missed. Could you, please, add your own version of the grindestone?

No

@calloatti I wasn't going to respond to this. Though, in general, I tend to agree with you, it was a bit brusque, it is Raoul's project, what he says goes, so a no means no. We may not always agree with what a mod author does to their mod, even think some ideas (not for RS, mind you, other mods, RS is great) are terrible ideas, but, at the end of the day, it is the mod author's mod. We can politely suggest and politely protest terrible changes, but ultimately it's their mod and their say so. They're giving us the mods for free.

Many open source projects consider it ok to be abrasive on the tracker. I think it’s never ok.

Kindness and firmness are not mutually exclusive.

I am old. You are probably young. Be more polite. It will help you in your work and in your personal life. You will need things from people sometimes. It helps if you are not an asshole to them.

As far as I know TC is, everything else that I know of needs some form of ore smelting with out doubling first. As RS is the spiritual successor of AE1, the better version IMHO, I suggested it in that light. But Raoul said no so that is that. End of story.
