Well, this was fun while it lasted... The update I teased months ago has received little to no attention from me since then. I was hopeful for this pack, really. For a short period of my life (while I was going through some particularly rough stuff) I used the modpack as an outlet. Survival Refurbished was something I used to get excited about, since I had nothing noteworthy but graduation to look forward to. It started out as something I figured I'd try. It then exploded into a lot of work, which is a funny statement because it still looks half-baked. There are texture errors, glitches, conflicting mods, and dated mods all throughout.
Also, as anyone reading this (if anyone does XD) can figure out, the next update was supposed to implement a ton of quests for people to complete at their leisure for special prizes. I have struggled to find direction for this sinking ship, and I figured that would spice it up. However, I have been lazy about it. I've had loads of free time to work on this update and it is entirely my fault that it isn't ready yet. The burden is a big one though. I assure you guys, based on my dreams for this update... it would be a LOT of work to implement. That being said, I've all but given up on it and this pack. I'm leaving everything how it is right now. If the pack, by some Christmas miracle, gets popular enough in its current state, I'll come back and be motivated to continue this update, I'm sure. Also, I'd like to issue a challenge to anyone reading this: If you've read this far into the post... contact me. Tell me what you think of the pack. Tell me you want to see this new update sometime in the future. If I know you in real life; don't bother. I want to know if I've made even a slight impact on someone I don't know. So far I've had one person contact me whom I didn't know in real life. If anyone else is reading this... I need feedback, or this project will die out as my enthusiasm diminishes for it completely. Sorry to anyone I've disappointed, but for now, I quit.

Hello everyone! Senior year is over for me... I've finally graduated high school after four years of struggling. What does this mean for Survival Refurbished? Well, my lovely reader... I'll let you in on a little secret... I've got an update in the works! "What? After all these months, you think you can just come in here and slap us with an update?" YES! I've got a lot more time on my hands now that that silly education part of my life is out of the way! That's why I'm warning you now... get ready... Pic related. A sneaky sneak peek at the new developments... There is a LOT to come...
ALL ABOARD THE 1.5 TRAIN!!!
Hello out there! I just figured I would let you guys know that I've put out a new server package for update 1.4.5. If you were running a server before, you'll want to update to this new package. It has all kinds of new balances. It even comes with a README file now, which you should read (as the title suggests)!
There used to be a showcase here, but it magically disappeared when I deleted it!!!! Go @ me on Twitter, I dare you. ;)
Hellooo out there! I've set up a Twitter account! See you guys there! :)
Whelp, I kinda flubbed that one. Excitement got the better of me. I forgot to update the thirst config for servers... I'm assuming that if you're playing with friends, thirst will remain heavily nerfed until the 1.5 update comes out. I also forgot to show off the pretty screenshots of the new recipes. I will never be Captain.... :( New recipe mix for all Muskets with "Bayonets." Learn it. Use it. :)
This update is mostly for recipe fixes!
1. Added Gunpowder recipe. 2. Added Blaze Powder recipe. 3. Added new Musket w/ bayonet recipes. (Recipes now use knives from Cannibalism Mod.) 4. Re-balanced thirst (hopefully)... 5. Added Neat Mod, which displays health bars above the heads of everyone and their grandmothers. You get a HealthBar! You get a HealthBar! You all get a HealthBar! 6. Walked the dog around the world... 7. Escaped. 8. Evaded death by thirst. 9. Made it back home. 10. The world is a scary place... 11. Rats... Rats everywhere... 12. I'm liking these .5 updates. They're cheap and effective. 1. Changed thirst speeds to hopefully balance this mess out for all of us at the same time. 2. Added GUNS and NEW SUPER COOL FUN WEAPONS from Reforged Mod! Kill that bear! Slay those RATS! 3. Added Hemp recipe because, for some reason, it wasn't spawning in our Multiplayer world... I cri. The recipe is in the fancy screenshot below. 4. Removed World data from PackServer.zip... My bad, guys :P... If you've downloaded the server files before this update, you'll have the same world every time. :) I also reset the eula text file so it wouldn't be my agreement each time... sorry Mojang... 5. Used too many emojis in one list item. 5. Used the number 5 twice... 6. Forgot to hide the newly removed items in the JEI GUI. 7. I'm back. I fixed number 6. 8. Danced with the Devil in the pale moonlight... 9. Updated the changelog on the Technic page. 10. Updated the changelog on the website. New recipe for Hemp. :) :) :) :) :)
There's another update headed our way! Expect enhanced weapon choices, more balanced thirst, and some other shenanigans Friday or Saturday... :D smol letters
