So a server I'm on is having a strange problem and google isn't helping any.



There are so many Hobgoblins spawning that the game is lagging for some people to the point where playing is flat out impossible. Is there anything we can do to make them go away?

There should be some kind of setting in the ini files to change/disable their spawn, there is with most mods. Alternately if you've got Tinker's Construct and Iguana Tweaks, it's free sword XP :black101:

Tearing Blightfall free of the constraints of Minecraft's engine and building an entire game around it (Kind of Skyrim like) would be a game I'd gleefully throw money at. :homebrew:

You might like Infested Planet. The gameplay is a lot different, but I would say they are spiritual kin. They feel like it to me, at least. Also Creeper World 3: Arc Eternal. They're both kind of "strategist dropped into a horribly hostile environment" kind of deals. Creeper World leans a tad tower defense-y, Infested Planet is more squad-level RTS, and picking between them I'd probably recommend Infested Planet over Creeper World 3, it's just a lot more polished and is really fun. Only thing I didn't like was that it was too dang short!

So after messing around with a bunch of new mods in FTB I have to conclude that minecraft modders are kind of insane. Every good idea seems to be hopelessly bogged down by a million tedious or mind bogglingly bad ones. Like this Decocraft mod. It has some genuinely cool looking blocks. Except we can't use any of them because if you try to place any of them in all but one specific way it doesn't work and you get an error saying something is in the way.

I could calculate your chances of survival... but you won't like it.
Is there a way to complete a quest in Material Energy^4 if you're missing the requirements, or failing that, get another copy of a spatial map? I inadvertently blew up the skystone chest that was buried in the Reds map. I couldn't find it at first, only finding a massive pile of silverfish stone. I thought the solution was make some explosives to dig through the stone, but I used too much and blew up the skystone chest with the wool in it. Without the wool that was in the chest, I can't progress any farther.

The current version has tons of hidden stuff you can find if you're clever and creative enough. Personally I'm hoping for a new map to go with everything and ill be checking the he'll out of that cave.

I'll probably also beeline for the silvered Grove and set up my home there though.

Last time I played, I've seen pure nodes get corrupted a minute after I find them, and the silverwood grove is no exception. I would probably go on to say that the silverwood grove is a risky place to go because you are in a forest, and you have to clear out all the trees because the taint turns alot of it into swarm spawners, and those keep coming back until you can clear out all the tainted wood they're spawning from.

Everywhere starts off as tainted, and in some cases including inside the biodomes. I've died from going afk, and taint spreading into the biodome, then getting killed by a tainted chicken or something.

Safest place is probably biodome omega because it's underwater. As long as you don't breach the entrance to the mineshaft underneath it like an idiot it's nearly impossible for it to get tainted.

Of course, then you have to deal with your base being underwater. :v:

That could be fixed with a little editing in creative mode, though, and potentially something fixed in Blightfall 2. Cause :agreed: that Silverwood land is horrifyingly dangerous. Really, any forest is super dangerous in Blightfall

Swim to shore and grab some dirt. The bigger problem is wood in general, since the space is too small to really grow trees in.

I never had issues growing oak trees inside the biodomes. Also I thought there were a few dirt blocks in Omega? If there aren't any then yeah it's probably the most difficult dome to get started in, as it should be. You'll also have trouble getting animals to spawn there since they don't spawn on grass in ocean biomes.

Also if taint grows into your biodome you hosed it up somehow, probably by destroying your silverwood tree.

That's all I can think of at the moment.

Those sound very good for sure, but I was honestly looking more for lightweight, fun things that a 9-year-old (I don't know why I thought he was 12) would enjoy.

Or, I guess, a lightweight adventure-y modpack with magic stuff.

Minecraft mods become degenerate the longer they are in development. I suggest you go back to version 1.2.5, you will find most of the mods to be more straight forward and stable.

The pure nodes actually covers a smaller area than the biodome covers. The taint can grow diagonally into the biodome.

So... you sat in one of the corners of the biodome? I tested the coverage once and the taint can at most creep one block in at some of the corners.

I've had taint creep in, kill a chicken, then had a tainted chicken attack me.

After that I started keeping my critters underground in a smaller room centered under the silverwood, just to be safe
