I can't help but be annoyed, though. Sure, pulling out of Forge is a respectable decision, but did it really mean removing all compatibility with it? I can understand not wanting to collaborate with Eloraam or take part in the project, and can certainly understand that it held back progress and even that you never really intended to have compatibility with other mods; But it doesn't seem like it should have extended that far.
The disclaimer in the OP is a general statement. It's been proven that quite a few mods are compatible.
Rule of thumb:
-Bigger mods = less likely to be compatible.
-Forge mod = certainly not compatible
-Similarly themed mods = less likely to be compatible.
Advice: check the Wiki to see compatible mods.
secondary advice: extract BTW to a folder, then extract any other mod you want to that folder too. If Windows asks you for overwrites it's likely it's not compatible

I loved this mod, but if it means giving up every other mod, it is just not worth as much as it was. It is a great mod, an ambitious mod, even a legendary mod, within our community and beyond it; But, it isn't worth nigh-complete incompatibility with all the other fun, great mods. I'm hopeful that someday, it can change and be used with other mods, again, whether that be through player, modder, or official intervention. I'm looking forward to it, really, and I hope you are, too.
Let me help to clear up the misconception a little bit.
There are actually a fair number of mods that Better Than Wolves is compatible with. The only clearly stated positions on compatibility are as follows:
Any mod that requires the Forge will not be compatible with Better Than Wolves. This is due to the very nature of the Forge. By design all mods that use the Forge are compatible with each other, but it bars mods external from that from being compatible. The one exception to this is Buildcraft, and the mod Better Then Buildcraft is the entire reason why. BTB is also the only exception to the next rule. Namely, that FlowerChild will not work specifically towards compatibility with other mods. He won't actively work against it, but he won't work for it.
So, in short, the reason Forge mods are not compatible with non-Forge mods is part of how the Forge works. Other non-Forge mods may work perfectly fine with BTW, but they may not depending on how they are programmed, and FlowerChild won't go out of his way to make it work.

This kitten is traumatized by stupid. Please stop abusing the kitten.

im not saying that better than wolves isn't good just i really just like to play on with forge mods
i like the pulley system but i really want to still have industrial diamonds and equivalent exchange and redpower.
long story short i would be extremely gratfied if you were to make it compatitible with forge.

Please watch the Q&A video in the OP of this thread about why FlowerChild brought BTW out of the Forge in the first place. Then you will realize why your request is unreasonable.

This is a really, really good mod. It's large, but not overly complicated. Most large mods have tons of itsy bitsy hidden features and an annoying lack of good detail, etc, but this is just perfect. Industrialcraft and Equivalent Exchange can go and hide in a small dark corner now that I've found this mod!!! It's just so amazing!

this is probably my favorite mod made for minecraft ever. not exagerrating, usuallly mods are broken or they're fiddily or whatever but this one functions really smoothly and doesnt crash or anything. its really nice, i like it.
i have only two requests to make. the first is maybe upping the drop rate on the hemp seeds from the full grown plant. it seems like it should be 1-2 from every plant and its usually 0-1. makes for a lot of random plowing of grass =/. is there an option somewhere to change that and i just dont know about it?
second, barley bitte? =D

If you're running out of seeds, you're likely harvesting the whole plant instead of just trimming off the top. Try that instead

Today, without an error report or copy of your Modloader.txt....I shall pronounce the cause of your woes to be:
Bad mojo.
At least he hasn't lost his mojo
No, just his chunks.

i just noticed this
That's nothing compared to the subliminal messages in the mod itself
You have been assimilated.
Welcome to the cult!
Yup, that's never an issue man, and always appreciated. Video away
No man, it meant exactly the opposite...
