RaspberryCommie posted:Does it use the yellowcake, refined uranium or the fuel rod? CAuse I got some of those sticking around, but Mekanism stuff always causes my computer to lag with all the block updates and noise and stuff. Yes it does use the Atomic Science U-238 derived by turning Uranium Ore into Yellowcake then Uranium Hexafloride then U-235 and U238. I have done this myself, and in my suggestion: don't. The energy costs of the machinery needed far outstrips the power you get back. However if you find Nether Urnaium, you can pulverize it into 4 Yellorium dust.

At least fusion reactors don't seem to lag so much. Friend of mine built a huge one, but he used the Mekanism energy pipe to transfer out power which basically turned my MC into a slideshow. Thankfully convinced him to switch over to conduits.

RaspberryCommie posted:So basically just drain my supply of U-238, then start using Yellowrium/Blutonium then? I built a 9 fusion reactor system that doubled my tick rate on the server every time the plasma pulsed. I was using superconductors and whatnot. But simultaneously generating 6x4x9 blocks of plasma then fire then all the power from that at the same time was problematic. Avg tick went from 8ms to 16 every pulse. Big Reactors don't seem to have that problem, even with gigantic ones. They output huge amount of BC power with what appears to be no lag. The lag almost seems to come from the systems they are powering and not themselves. I can't say definitively, but I would say based on the significant amount of use I have put on them, that has been my experience. Mekanism, while I love the ideas, also game me plenty of problems and I ended up resorting to thermal expansion.

I've been using Wylker's LP modpack in the technic launcher. I keep getting heatscar spiders (and other supposed nether only mobs) spawning in the overworld. I dropped the newest versions of TC and NAtura into the mods folder which I thought would fix it. It didnt work. Then I tried using the mod options from in the game to stop them from spawning. THey are still spawning. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions, please let me know. I hate those drat spiders, they are seriously eating into my enjoyment of the game.

Mob spawning wise the Wylkerpack is megafucked in like six different ways; if there was any real way of dealing with the problem it would have been fixed on the real server by now. You just have to live with it, I'm afraid.

It's pretty simple to just remove the mo creatures and project zulu (I think those are the ones) archives from the zipped folder. My favorite wylker modpack bug was the savanna biome near my home getting absolutely packed with animals, so it was an endless see of rhinos, elephants, and giraffes.

Erogenous Beef posted:That's not a bug; the reactor can't operate if part of it is unloaded, as the bits that are unloaded may actually contain parts of the simulation. If any part of the reactor unloads, the whole thing pauses until the machine is whole again. You can use UE uranium, but I think yellorium is more common by default. Then I am imagining things, my apologies. I know the reactor can't work while partly unloaded, the problem I had was that it didn't start back up again afterwards. I believe someone else complained/reported it, and I also believe you fixed it. The not working again when loaded back in part. Or I might be confusing this with some other mod. It is quite a while ago, months I believe. I am rambling, sorry. But, in my modded bigdig pack, Yelloworium doesn't spawn at all. Probably because UE uranium does, and it is super rare. After digging up 20 chunks worth of world with quarries, I had a whopping 8 uranium. Certainly not enough for a reactor of any size really. Haven't looked into upping the spawn rate though.

That's odd, it shouldn't auto-disable if UE uranium spawns in. Check your config? At worst, try turning world regen on, which should load yellorite ore into any chunks that my world generation code hasn't touched before. I'm hoping Calclavia didn't add some kind of yellorite-generation-disabling code to Atomic Science. That would be lameballs.

Have not had problems spawning yellorium and uranium on the Toast pack. With both Atomic Science and Big Reactors. So I don't think there is any anti-yellorium code from Calc's side (as far as I can see)

If anything, after fiddling a bit with the spawn rate, it's almost too common. My reactor can't eat it fast enough.

So in Minecraft news, today Dinnerbone released the first version of a dev tool that generates every possible crash in minecraft that has been detected by the launcher. Just over 59 pages of reports for MC 1.6.2, kind of big but I was expecting more. How does this relate to the modding thread? Well, it also tracks if the game was modded or not. Which boosts the list of crashes and bugs from 60 pages to 1,146. 1,086 pages of crash report data comes from modded clients alone. So how is this useful for mod developers? Well Dinnerbone plans on hooking this directly into the client and allowing for additional information to be conveyed to the player. When the game crashes, not only will it let you know if the crash has been documented before, but if there is a solution to the fix. Dinnerbone gives this page as an example of what this would look like. The page gives your proper crash info, how many times this crash has been reported, jar version, if the issue is being tracked on the JIRA (The minecraft bug tracker) and provides a link to it on JIRA if so, and if the issue is unresolved or resolved but not fixed. However most important about this page is the green box at the top that tells you why the crash is happening and how to fix/prevent the crash if there is any way to. Now here is the thing, Dinnerbone is apparently working towards allowing mod devs to find crashes related to their mod and use this as an automatically generating list of crasehs and bugs they should look at as well as provide solutions to crashes within the game client, bypassing the need for people to even post error reports and requests for help on forums. While still a heavy work in progress, Dinnerbone is working on filters and such that will allow modders to see which crashes is caused by which mod (For example, DB points out that he can look up Buildcraft, and find 419 unique crashes). With proper secured account linking mod devs to access crashes associated with their mods, this could be a great tool for tracking and fixing crashes (as well as potentially provide hilarious public displays of mod drama when devs decide to fight it out in the crash logs like Greg did). Maybe I am over thinking this, but it seems like a pretty decent tool. Enzer fucked around with this message at 15:38 on Aug 14, 2013 |

Enzer posted:(as well as potentially provide hilarious public displays of mod drama when devs decide to fight it out in the crash logs like Greg did). GT_ItsNotMyFaultException is both hilarious and sad. Apparently he spams the error logs with it whenever something happens that is a result of his poor coding. Here's one that CJ ran into with Railcraft. On that subject, there's no way that forcing people to choose between Tinker's Construct and Gregtech could go any way but badly for Greg. Edit: Found this while googling for more instances of ItsNotMyFaultException:  It's from back in April, but that makes it no less hilarious. (Even funnier is the fact that you can change the Technic launcher install folder to completely evade it. I changed mine to .tl2 back when the launcher had its major update, just to get around stupid poo poo like this.)

It's cool to see acknowledgement of the modding scene, at least. After the flip-flop on the format for texture packs it was easy to wonder if they even remotely gave a poo poo. Does anyone have advice on repairing armor in Hexxit? Or I guess advice on getting shittons of XP for use in repairing stuff. I'm wearing 3 parts of the special Hexical scale armor + thaumcraft boots, but even with the boots being self-repairing I'm barely breaking even after a few battle towers. I was hoping to disenchant the massive pile of enchanted gear I have no use for, but I'm apparently on the version of the enchanting plus where that feature was removed. Also I seem to be coming across a lot of enchanted books with no actual enchantment in them. Are they useful for anything besides filling bookshelves?

I checked the MFR thread on the MC Forums but couldn't find any info about this; will MFR just run normally with no power requirements if no mod that can provide it power is installed? I seem to recall reading this somewhere, but can't remember where. I'm thinking about adding it to my custom Hexxit-based pack for the time being but I don't want to add any other tech mods if I can avoid it (not because I don't love TE, I'm just kind of burnt out on the usual tech mod scene).

For simplicity's sake, though, I'm thinking about having them require no power, which I guess is possible, since I found this on the Technic Wiki (the official one, no less! I didn't know there was an official Wiki.) http://wiki.technicpack.net/MineFactory_Reloaded posted:All MineFactory Reloaded machines that have power draws can have their energy requirements changed in the configuration file. I assume that means I can set everything to have no power requirement, which would be what I'm going for.

Unfortunately the next Wylkerpack (1.6) will no longer include MoC because its just too hard to make things work right. Maybe one day forge will give hooks for mod makers to have their mobs spawn in an intelligent fashion but until then I've sorta given up on it.

Well, after leaving early-level skyden running for about a weeks' worth of sickness (and remembering to clear out the trees only occasionally) I finally found the drive to begin with the Fez part of my build, thanks in part to one of my friends pointing out that there was probably a font that would handle the english to Cubish translation for me. So tonight I began to build up a tetronimo walkway to the halfway point, where I'll start work on A Beautiful Garden on the Mycelium side of the path, and begin plotting out fields of gold in the other direction. Here's the path:   And to give an idea of how long I've been ill, I managed to fill up this barrel while leaving the game running:

Some pages ago there was talk of MFR laser drills being more effective from Galacticraft Overworld Space Stations. Is this a proposed/upcoming feature, or something that's already in? Come to think of it, I'm not even sure if the height from bedrock makes a difference, though I heard mention of that too. While I'm on the subject, actually, am I correct that prechargers don't increase efficiency or yield, just the speed at which the drill can accept energy?

Progress shot! The grey cube is a vacuum ripple, which is just a short lived forcefield that appears wherever you point the manipulator. It's meant to make it easier to start construction projects with platforms floating at high altitudes, in space, over liquids, anywhere you don't have anything convenient nearby to build from. It can be handy for making temporary bridges across gaps and such too, or if you aim it downwards you can build downwards without water or the ability to fly. Oh, I added a mode for the manipulator to switch to to do that. It has an energy bar that regenerates over time, right now you can put out 16 ripples and it takes about a minute to fully recharge. Rotation is unchanged. The yellow field I'm still fine tuning, but it's already usable as an elevator. I'm seeing if I can get the physics right for it to be either a null G field, an accelerator field, or (ideally) both. So far every time I optimize for one the other one winds up behaving wonky. metasynthetic fucked around with this message at 19:10 on Aug 15, 2013 |

I am so goddamn clueless when it comes to modding. Makes me want to rip my hair out sometimes. The Technic Launcher was, thankfully, easy enough to work out, and I got a Hexxit Server up. But it freezes up for 5-10 seconds every few seconds after being up for a minute or so, even when all graphical options are turned down to minimum. Regular Minecraft works just fine. So yeah, that's annoying. Abandoning Hexxit for the time being, I then looked into using Pchan's Steamship mod, updated by some guy: (http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1651891-16xforgegotolink-updates-creeperspecies-fixed-with-forge/#Pchan3). I followed his extremely sparse installation procedure, but it still doesnt' work in single player, let alone that I want it for SMP. I downloaded and installed forge (Install Client, it said), despite not know what all these bukkits and forges and mod loaders are for, and dropped his zip into minecraft mod folder, as well as dropping an unzipped version, when it failed to work with just the former. Help with either issue? What can I do to improve Hexxit's performance and/or install a stand alone mod? Anything at all would be appreciated. Thanks!

Didn't realize it had added one, I thought that was just for changing our displayed name and maybe inventory on different servers. About Hexxit, is it just me or does it seem way to busy?
