The new version is going to have a lot of cool stuff, like an end-game taint-cleansing machine, a real end to the game that feels awfully satisfying and is probably the most satisfying ending of any "story" minecraft ANYTHING I've seen, a brand new botania questline with some custom junk I contributed, a WAY better food integration with a new hunger overhaul falloff curve, new foods, and golem compatibility for HO wheat/barley, some map improvements like making taint not ruin deserts, better ITT compatibility, fixed extraTiC bow stats, totems of dawn catch up to where they should be when they reload after being unloaded for awhile, a brand new death punishment system that drops your mission outlook rep instead of using HQM's life system, and on and on and on. I hope this end-game taint-cleansing machine is called 'The Taint Stomper' and that it does indeed stomp taint, I guess we'll find out once the update comes around and hopefully this time I won't get so bloody lucky and get fusewood on my first sapling pack followed by bloodwood on my second sapling pack! Also Botania along with Forbidden Magic....TAINTHISTLES ARE GO! I'm guessing the blood magic questline doesn't kick in until you reach the eerie island's scouting location? It looks like the intended way in would either be through some thaumcraft stuff I do not know about or the time-old tradition of nerdpoling up.

You can also make a thaumic harness or something and fly around. Enchant it somehow to improve the speed on it, it's very slow to begin with.

So, due to more pointless loving changes in mods, I'm once again completely stumped as to how to perform what used to be a basic task. The offending mod is Thermal expansion/Thermal Dynamics and itemducts. Where you used to be able to just set a pipe junction to either input ot output (blue or red arrow) and install a pneumatic servo for sorting, now you can't change a junction at all, and have to build a "servo" and install it to pull items out of a source. That's all good and fun, I made one and have it on my quarry tesseract so the items will flow out of it. The problem is that need to set itemduct junctions to output with a blacklist/whitelist so it will keep the ore and junk everything else. I have no loving clue how to do this. There are no blue arrow servos that are craftable, and there's nothing I can do with junctions in the itemducts so I have no idea how to set up a filter. I've said it before, but I'm continually amazed by the number of completely unnecessary changes to mods. It's like modders have some aversion to people becoming too proficient with their mods. Everytime I learn things well enough to get by without Youtube or a Wiki they change poo poo up for no reason.

The item you want to craft is called a "filter". There are also Retrievers that will pull items to them, like the opposite of Servos. I don't really get why ducts lack auto-output functionality, myself, even with a redstone signal. It might have something to do with further streamlining the block, so that computation is easier?

Thermal Dynamics Servos have the blacklist/whitelist feature built into them, with varying slots depending on what tier they are. To access it you right-click on the servo with an empty hand. The pipes should output or input automatically based on what the block setting for that face is. If it's a block that doesn't have face-settings then it will only input unless you put a servo to pull from it.

Theres also the amazing Thaumic Horizons, which lets you thaumically engineer a pig into a blight feeding machine.  I really hope that ends up added as a way to beat back the blight. That, and a option to set fire to the world.

Here's another question: I've always avoided Thaumcraft because I've been more interested in industrial kinds of things in Minecraft. I'm now thinking about getting into it cause it looks interesting. My only question is what exactly does it offer?

No. Because if you stay away from maddening effects for long enough, you'll be fine. The severity and frequency fades away until it never happens again. If you get any source of madness after that however, you go right back to fully snapped. Mr Scumbag posted:Here's another question: GO UTTERLY MAD. Use a wand to electrocute a creeper!

Get a ring of runic shielding or two and some half-decent armor (even iron would work with runic shielding). The shielding rings give you 5 hits where you literally take no damage and recharges from your wand, this activates on anything: poison, lava, etc. the shielding will take the damage first (and on poison/wither it regenerates fast enough that it will eat about half of the poison ticks anyways). Next get a lightning focus for your want and upgrade it. Congratulations, you have won Minecraft combat, even eldritch guardians have been reduced to annoying squatters and non-threats who appear in your house, create "spooky" mist and go "OOoooOOOooo" until you find and zap them.

Scanning and researching and slapping together aspects of the world in order to be able to build more stuff is surprisingly fun (for a while) and will take up a lot of your time. Wand of Equal Trade will mean you can pick up anything (other than bedrock) that you want by replacing it with trash from your inventory; pour water over a lava lake and turn it into obsidian, then convert all that obsidian into oak saplings, watch them fall into lava, then convert the next layer of lava again and again. Putting a barrier around a rare Hungry Node and launching a bunch of crafting benches into it from a magical mirror to turn it into a monstrous source of power is fun; using that source of power through your base turns "boring pipes and conduits again" into "I have literal laser beams everywhere focused through dope-rear end crystals." And golems golems golems jesus christ, throw down a harvest and a gather golem near a small field of wheat and some reeds, never worry about paper or food again. (Also, make and eat Triple Meat Treats. They're gross and cheap!)

Nobody knows anything about this? It doesn't work in 1.7, fullstop. The recipe modifier in MT for TE was a port of the one in 1.6, but TE was heavily refactored in 1.7 so it just doesn't work anymore. It would require modifications by MT people or TE people (or both) to be fixed. My "workaround" in Progress was just making the recipes for machines in other mods (usually EIO) to fill the gap.

Darn, now I want to play Blightfall having never tried it before, but I want to wait for the big release since it'd probably require (or "require") restarting. Bluuuh. (Thaumcraft in Blightfall requires the stupid research game, right? I'd frankly rather use the Stealth Archer idea and give myself hundreds of every aspect in research and go at my own pace.)

It's like modders have some aversion to people becoming too proficient with their mods. Everytime I learn things well enough to get by without Youtube or a Wiki they change poo poo up for no reason. Basically, in the old version you had routing logic and all that poo poo in the pipes themselves, which was awful. Now all of the sorting and routing logic lies in the items so you don't have to worry about your round-robin sorting getting hosed up because you want two inputs into the same system with different sorting logic. It makes so much more sense to keep all of that isolated to just the input/output points, and having different items keeps the servo interface from being a massive clusterfuck. It's a really minor tweak when you think about it, and the learning curve for the new version isn't trawling wikis and youtube videos, all you have to do is type "Thermal" into NEI and read the tooltip for the new items. These items even look like the old red/blue arrows, so it's even easier to spot. Sumac fucked around with this message at 19:26 on Jun 7, 2015 |

When I played Blightfall the concept of the world being hostile was neat, but digging for ores in caves was a pain because the taint covered the ores. Something like a throw able potion that clears crusted taint in an area temporarily would be handy just anything in the somewhat early game allowing me to climb up a little easier

The only thing I don't like in blightfall is the swarms. They're a stupid mob, hard to kill because of their hit box, uninteresting, and gah, I just hate them. They make things challenging, but in a very annoying manner. There are other mod packs with blighted ground and swarms disabled. Those worlds are still hostile, but not in a cheesy way. I guess I also don't like the spice of life without pam's harvestcraft, but I guess the major update planned is taking care of that.

Danith posted:Are there any mods or mod packs where you can do stuff with AI people, like recruit people to harvest things for you? I use a Mod called Ancient Warfare. Exactly what you describe. You can hire people to run farms, do mining, make buildings, and even warriors to help protect your base. There are also couriers that can take/deposit items from inventories, so if you really wanted, you could create a fleet of NPC's and use them as a sorting system. It has quite a nice progression system involving Research (that you can hire an NPC to do for you if you wish), that opens up different parts of the mods, and also includes things such as portcullises, and drawbridges. New NPC villages are also created on worldgen, Including massive villages, that are thankfully made completely flat, and have walls around them. They also include custom buildings such as churches and 2-3 story houses. There are also windmills and water mills that generate RF (VERY SLOWLY mind) Castles and Bandit camps also generate in the world, with hostile NPCS (and much loot) as well as trading posts with multiple tents and a Pub (with friendly trading NPCs) All in all, its a great fun mod, and looks to be just what you are looking for. Depending on the version you are running, means you will have different things. The 1.7.10 version includes what I described above. The 1.6.4 version dos'nt have the villages, but has war machines such as ballistas, catapults, and the like. These have not made it to 1.7 yet.
