User:Xbony2

Hello. I am Xbony2 (he/him). I started playing Minecraft in 1.2.5, back when Nether Warts could only be grown in The Nether (it was better that way). In 1.4.2, I got into playing the Feed The Beast Beta Pack A, and later moved to the (Original) MindCrack Pack and then to FTB Ultimate plus a few mods. I started coding and modding for the first time in 1.4.7, although my first projects didn't work out so well. I improved with time, and in 1.7.2 I created a working and somewhat decent mod called "Bitm" (Bony's Industrial Technology Mod), although it was never released. I did get into a few other projects; I helped port IC2 Nuclear Control to 1.7.2 and was the de facto maintainer of it (I've helped port a couple of other mods too, but none are as well-known as that one). When the author of my favorite mod, GregTech, announced he would use this wiki, the Feed The Beast Wiki, as GregTech's official wiki starting with GregTech 5, I decided to make it my official wiki as well for Nuclear Control. The FTB Wiki's IndustrialCraft 2 section was fairly incomplete, so I decided to work on it and go expand it. I got into documenting more than I originally intended, and in 2015 I ended up focusing more on documentation than modding. I've slowed down a lot recently but am still one of the wiki's biggest editors. I've developed a greater interest in wikis and documentation, and although I still focus on my home wiki (this wiki), I have sometimes contributed to other wikis. At the time of writing, I have more than 50,000 edits on this wiki, and plenty on other wikis, which is pretty cool. I can't really play modded Minecraft (and sometimes other games) without documenting stuff, which sometimes leads to the creation of very arbitrary pages.

Currently, I am not very active on this wiki. I like it when people put stuff on my talk page, but if you do, you should probably point me towards it on Discord. I'm generally busy, either with college or working, or other IRL responsibilities, so my activity isn't very high. The time and inspiration I do have goes mainly towards administrative tasks, especially ones that editors without the access to wiki roles or experience can do, as well as helping others, rather than documenting newer mods.

Number of Wiki Articles:

Goal for 2022: finish/fix ESAEBSAD3.

Things I have done on this wiki:
 * Documented IC2 Nuclear Control, IndustrialCraft 2, AFSU Mod, The Mists of RioV 2/The Mists of RioV, Falling Meteors Mod, GregTech 4, Immersive Engineering, Immersive Integration, Engineer's Toolbox, Thaumcraft 4, Thaumcraft 5, Steel Sheep, Pam's HarvestCraft, Simply Jetpacks, Ztones, Aether II, Ender IO, Charset, Inventory Pets, Actually Additions, Quark, EnderZoo, The One Probe, Roots, Hexxit Gear, Bullseye, PowerCraft, Exchangers, Rustic, Thermal Foundation, Thaumcraft 6... (some completely or near completely, some in smaller fragments)
 * Did a bunch of maintenance work (I'd most of my edits nowadays are maintenance), including translation stuff (I'm the translation administrator and the person to talk to about translation of content here).
 * Called SatanicSanta a "meany-face".
 * Created the IP award (Santa is the first staff to receive it, btw) (Choco made it into a template, but I created it first. The picture is still named "Bony_Joke_Please_Ignore.png").
 * Used terrible or no summaries. 0% of them include good grammar. Many include lyrics, but I have issues picking out lyrics so they're often short or nonsensical.
 * Welcomed a couple editors to the wiki (none of them stayed, of course).
 * Found myself (I guess).
 * Made many weird jokes.
 * Mega achievement? Mega achievement (easy peasy, if I could collect repeat mega achievements I'd have like 20).
 * I got Editor of the month! (the actual trophy came in fairly late, but still)
 * Got more wikipoints/edits than EVERYONE ELSE! (I hope they don't catch up)

Current focuses
There's so many things that need to be done, but unfortunately because of college/work I haven't had the time to do them. Because of that, and because I haven't been caught up with the modded community recently, most of my edits are maintenance-related. I hope to do more technical, administrative stuff (like finishing ESAEBSAD3) also when I get the spare time.

Mods that I kinda wanna document
This could be seen by some as a TODO list, but it's not all stuff that I'll necessarily get around to, but would like to. These aren't "reserved" by me or anything; if you ask me "hey bony what mods need documentation?" I might point you to this list (or say "all of them", which is more accurate ¯\_(ツ)_/¯). These aren't in any order.
 * GregTech 6
 * GregTech 5/GregTech 5 Unofficial changes
 * GT++
 * GregTech 6
 * Biomes O' Plenty
 * RFTools (and McJty's other mods)
 * Storage Drawers
 * Better With Mods
 * Literal Ascension
 * Tech Reborn
 * OpenComputers
 * TIS-3D
 * Totemic
 * Thermal Expansion 5
 * Tough As Nails
 * Rustic
 * Thaumic Potatoes 2
 * Embers
 * Better With Mods (and Better Than Wolves while we're at it, but people don't need that as much).
 * Astral Sorcery (most requested from survey)
 * Gadgetry (Gadgetry: Core, Gadgetry: Machines and Gadgetry: Transmission)
 * Chromato Creeper
 * Stuff on the current focuses that I haven't been focusing on at all (like most of them).
 * Other major TODO: es-ni pages are now considered subpages and not translated pages, which seems pretty awkward. translatewiki.net never had dialects, and our custom language is not currently supported.

Contact

 * If you have a long message (longer than ten words), the best place to put is on my talk page. I don't check it super often because wiki notifications are messy, so maybe ping me on discord that there's an update to the talk page. If you want me to do something or remember something later, than the talk page is better than the Discord.
 * And yeah, I'm on the FTB Wiki Discord. You should totally join it. I'm also on the Gamepedia/FANDOM Discord as well as a ton of various modded Minecraft Discords.

Languages

 * English: I'm a native speaker of English.
 * Dialect: American English. I have a mostly "neutral" American accent, but a very good listener might be able to pick out a bit of Southernness in it.
 * Spanish: I was learning Spanish in high school, and in college I've taken an accelerated beginner class and an intermediate class. Because of academic focuses, I'll probably stop there, but I'm still doing some Duolingo to keep my knowledge fresh (currently have a ~1000 day streak).
 * Dialect: I never really got into Spanish enough to have a sense of its dialects. I use "tú"/"ustedes," and I potentially would "usted" in formal situations. It's reasonable to assume I speak with a strong American accent. I pronounce the "y"/"ll" like an English "y" (like in "you" or "yeah").
 * Lojban: coi .i I've studied Lojban from reading the reference manual and contributing to Wiktionary, as well as doing a tiny bit of translation (Minecraft, here, Lojban Wikipedia). I lost the interest a while back though. "jbo-1" is a massive exaggeration.
 * Latin: I took Latin I online. I can translate some stuff with a dictionary and charts, or at least I could once.
 * Dialect: Classical Latin. My pronunciation probably sounds like Spanish but a bit flatter (Latin isn't usually spoken though so it doesn't matter much). I've been trying to remind myself that "v" is pronounced like an English "w" but to little luck. I prefer SOV.
 * Esperanto: I studied some Esperanto on Duolingo, but I dislike the language and have stopped learning it. I'm kind of disappointed that it's the face of constructed languages (cough). I'm probably not going to return to it unless I get a written note that it impresses babes.
 * Ukrainian: I don't really know any Ukrainian, but I intend to learn at least a little bit someday. Maybe I'll study Russian off of that.
