The multiblock messages often mention absolute coordinates or the X, Y or Z axis. This should not be done as it breaks the immersive gameplay Forestry usually provides. You could for instance replace the specified minimum size of the multiblock with a mention of %dx%dx%d like Railcraft does instead of mentioning "X, Y, Z". All mentions of coordinates or axes should be removed.

Secondly, the chat messages shouldn't appear out of nowhere, you don't have Alveary blocks magically talking to you. I recommend doing it like Railcraft again and having some kind of item like the Railcraft Magnifying Glass which can be used to inspect machines and multiblocks.

This is a great idea and I agree with Vexatos.

@Vexatos - while at it, could you fix the info message for BuildCraft's quarry chunkloader in a similar manner? :)

Any progress since long time ago?

I still remember @bakaxyf expects a lot on it.

Someone else can make better messages. I don't have a problem with what we have now, so I assigned @Vexatos.

@Vexatos it seems you have accidentally unassigned yourself. Should this issue be closed? Thanks.

The multi-block messages are improved, but I have been informed that they are still bad.

Secondly, the chat messages shouldn't appear out of nowhere, you don't have Alveary blocks magically talking to you. I recommend doing it like Railcraft again and having some kind of item like the Railcraft Magnifying Glass which can be used to inspect machines and multiblocks.
