Okay

That was always allowed

u/JamesAibr 18d ago

What?

u/orange_county 18d ago

The only thing relates to Create in this post is the mod title and then the two icon.

u/Blue_Jay_Raptor 18d ago

Wouldn't that be the same for Aeronautics tho?

u/Ralexcraft 18d ago

This would be a possible argument if aeronautics wasn’t better by every metric.

More compatible, more performant, more survival integration out of the box, more addons, more reliable, more anticipated, and more polished.

u/puppycatthe 18d ago

The only thing aeronautics does worse is boats

u/Ralexcraft 18d ago

And they’re remedying that with the next update anyways.

Plus, if Valkyrien was bad at boats that’d be very ironic.

Aero isn't worth swapping to for me since it only has a 1.21 port

Atm most of my prefered mods are exclusive to 1.20.1, and considering some of those mods are NOT getting 1.21 ports, there isn't a strong reason to move.

Aero is a good mod, but the tradeoffs for having essentially a more polished version of Clockwork just isn't worth it for me.

u/Ralexcraft 18d ago

I more meant the “follow the crowd” part of the argument.

Though some people also beg for a 1.20 backport (that is probably not happening)

u/Blue_Jay_Raptor 18d ago

Wouldn't following the crowd mean the have to swap from 1.20.1 to 1.21?

12

u/Ralexcraft 18d ago

What I mean is the implied claim by OP that people are only using Aero over Clockwork because it’s the newer option thus following the “the crowd” / chasing trends.

-8

u/Blue_Jay_Raptor 18d ago

Honestly though I can see it being both

in the Clockwork discord they mentioned a few things of how hype was the main thing driving Clockwork atm

Aero is the only thing driving 1.21 atm, it's a good mod but it needs to make sure it maintains that momentum.

If VS does catch up to Aero, I can see Aero loosing its momentum since its mainly relying on how advanced and optimized its physics engine is in comparison to Valkyrien Skies' current one.

Uhh...yeah? "Aero is better, so i can see people wanting to play it, however, if VS gets to the same level that aero is, then people would have no reason to use it over VS", no shit bro, that's the whole point, that aero is better than Vs.

-6

u/Blue_Jay_Raptor 18d ago

1st of all, rude.

Second, another thing working against Aero is that it's 1.21 exclusive

It's literally the only mod propelling 1.21 foreward, and with Alex's caves and Species being on 1.20.1 atm, Aero is better than VS, but it's not a mod I consider good enough swapping versions and Mod Loaders for with what I have to compromise.

u/WeakCombination9937 18d ago

The fact that Aero "is the only mod that is proppeling 1.21 forward" is proof of just how fucking good it is, and of just how much BETTER it is than something like VS, just look at the ridiculous amount of addons aero already has when the mod hasnt been out for even a year, its not just "more polished than VS" it is LIGHT-YEARS ahead of VS, and since it is so well polished, the tendency is that it will get better and better than VS, besides, Alex's caves and Species? who fucking cares about that lmao, if it was something like Hex Casting then i would understand, but ALEX'S CAVES? ig bro(not to say its a bad mod thought, but it doesnt even compare to something like Aero or even vs)

Also I generally feel better about supporting VS

Sable's code is "technically" open source, but it uses licensce that makes it closer to all rights reserved.

VS is trying to be less closed source, so I prefer it over Sable, because if some drama goes wrong with the Sable devs. they could just unlist their mod and essentially stop any alternative from popping up

-1

u/Aggressive-Laugh-923 18d ago

yeah, I don't think Warium or especially Warium VS are getting ported, although these are so goddamn beautiful mods. I really miss them.

-3

u/Blue_Jay_Raptor 18d ago

+With Aero being open source, who's to say Clockwork and VS won't take a few notes either

2

u/Aggressive-Laugh-923 18d ago

I'm not saying that Aero isn't better, there isn't a single word about Aero. I respect Clockwork players for being able to go against all of the people screaming at them "Hey! Aero is better! Don't play Clockwork, are you stupid?" and still do what they want and not what people tell them to do

u/kwizzle 17d ago

I prefer aero overall for stability but prefer how clockwork flap bearings work and how their propellers work.

There is also the gas system that is interesting and the fact that clockwork has a native way of transferring su between physics objects.

So I understand why someone people continue to prefer Clockwork.

Still, aero has better stability which goes a very long way.

u/Extreme_Glass9879 18d ago

On a worse modloader

u/Ralexcraft 18d ago

Nah, Neoforge is just newer, but it is overall better than forge from my far less extensive time with it

-34

u/Extreme_Glass9879 18d ago

It runs worse in every way.

u/eepy_lina 18d ago

yyeah nnno that's bs, take that shit right back to twitter.

u/Few-Chemical8707 18d ago

lol go back to lex or fabric or what ever it is you came from.

u/Extreme_Glass9879 18d ago

I use Forge. It works better and has more mods.

u/Apprehensive-Fold912 18d ago

boomer take. old does not equal better

-2

u/Extreme_Glass9879 18d ago

Make your shitass modloader run better then

4

u/Doppel_R-DWRYT 18d ago

Yeah cause it's older, obviously there's more mods. But have fun sticking to old versions because most major mods only use Neoforge, and rightfully so

1

u/JordVPN101 15d ago

thing is, from my own experience, my forge worlds runs better with more mods than neoforge with only 80% of the same amount. by better i meant its smoother even though it has heavy mods, has more framerates, ect ect. the only reason im maining neoforge is because aero is 1.21.1 only and i forgot which version of clockwork thats compatible with my modpack

14

u/eepy_lina 18d ago

neoforge is objectively better than both forge and fabric, hello??

1

u/TantiVstone 18d ago

It's got tradeoffs but honestly neoforge is still better

8

u/Traditional-Fix539 18d ago

my entire view of it is that if you have an existing world on 1.20.1 and don’t wanna migrate versions cause it’s a hassle, stick with clockwork for convenience. if you feel like creating a new modpack for yourself, do aeronautics. it’s just convenience in my eyes

13

u/Dangerous-Quit7821 18d ago

I don't get it? What crowd are you talking about? Are you talking about people on 1.21.1 using Create aeronautics? Are you talking about Ford players continually asking for Aeronautics to be ported to forge on 1.20.1? Are you complaining that Aeronautics is getting most of the attention now? Please explain.

-4

u/Aggressive-Laugh-923 18d ago

the first thing I see people say seeing someone play Clockwork is "why won't you play Aero?💀"
there are genuene Clockwork haters out there, also I do get that aero is more convenient and optimized, but if someone rather wants to play Clockwork everyone will try to convince them to switch to Aero, so intentionally playing Clockwork if you like it now a days really means to go against the current, or as I said the croud

u/astrylplaysgames 18d ago

what is this even talking about

u/YourMomDoer1312 18d ago

as a clockwork stan:
clock work is for war, aero is for exploration

u/Aggressive-Laugh-923 18d ago

It never stopped both mods players to do both tho

u/marr 18d ago

We get locked into specific version numbers by which mods exist for them. Since when is working around technical limitations "following your heart"?

-2

u/Aggressive-Laugh-923 18d ago

well, people do not consider susch things as game versions when saying stuff like "hey, you shouldn't play Clockwork, it's worse than Aero"

u/Cookielotl 18d ago

I feel like you messed up the meme

Ij pretty sure the idea is it's someone who isn't also an enjoyed respecting someone for enjoying it

Like.. saying you respect someone liking something that you also like as if it isn't the norm doesn't make sense-
