Incompatibilities:

If you found other incompatibilities - tell me, i'll resolve it or add to list

Known issues:

Not full localization of Creative mode and other mods
Missings locale string in mod-setting-description when original mod doesn't have descriptions. Affects any non-supported mod

Future plans:

Moar customizable features
Maybe cross-integrate/localize other mods (possibly by community request)
RSO-like resource generator based on remote interfaces and per-surface settings, including AngelsInfiniteOres-like spawning (also fully customizable)

Disclaimer:

All changes in graphics, localizations and behaviours i've made firstly for myself, not for others. You can disagree with it, but it is so. I don't like to use mods that adds too much complexity in game, so you can't find bob's and angel's mods integration soon. But maybe later...
