Dragomorph posted:Okay so, uh, new modding question: Any modpacks that work on a 32-bit operating system? Or am I just going to have to upgrade to a 64-bit? Note that the processor could handle it, but I'm not sure about the rest of the computer. Modderation FYAD should work.

I think lighter modpacks should work on 32-bit, but for anything particularly beefy you need to allocate more ram to minecraft than a 32-bit system can readily handle allocating.

Dragomorph posted:Guess that's another thing to add to the bucket list of "things to do when I can actually afford to upgrade my computer." Don't sweat it, you can get basically all of the fun of modded minecraft without using giant, bulky modpacks. Having to have multiple worlds and having to restart more often is certainly a downer, but you can find a nice lightweight tech pack, an adventure pack, and a magic pack and have the vast majority of the content you'd want available to you. There's not much crossover between magic and tech mods, and both of them only really interact with the adventure-y mods in that they give you more tools with which to conquer the adventure, which isn't necessarily a good thing - when you hit endgame in some mod tech trees, it completely trivializes everything the rest of the packs will throw at you. Progressing through a single modpack at the pace they set instead of mashing together the easiest paths forward from a half a different mods can be very enjoyable - in some mods, mining upgrades are a huge deal but flight is trivial, in others flight is semi-impossible to get but you'll get ore doubling (and more) really early.

Always try to have Applied Energistics 2 in a mod pack you play though, I say. AE2 makes -everything- better, even without Extra Cells/Thaumic Energistics/Equivalent Energistics. Provided you don't mind mixing a bit of tech into your magic, it is the primo item storage/movement/crafting mod. Granted, I'm sure there are people prefer to have nicely sorted chests to store things, and who want to do their magic stuff pure. But I've always found it takes a lot of the repetition out of making the things you need, leaving you the adventure of -doing- stuff. Also, to echo mechaet's post earlier, I believe Modderation: FYAD will run with 1/2GB of RAM just fine, enough for 32bit, and has a fair selection of progression choices.

You might be able to mitigate the memory barrier a little if you run a server on your computer and play off it. That is a second process that can have its own RAM. This assumes you... have the RAM to do it.

Sure it ain't much, but if it's another few hundred MB, it might make a few simpler packs accessible.

Greedish posted:What modpack should I download if I want everything but the kitchen sink in a server with my friends? I was going to try OMPi, but it seems not to have a server download at all. Am I missing something and, if not, what's an alternative modpack with lots of different mods to explore? Modderation: Permabanned by mechaet has a lot of fun mods for magic, technology, decoration, and miscellany in it along with a server download on the technic page.

I accidentally installed 32bit java on my laptop and I can confirm that FYAD does in fact work on 32 bit java, although journeymap sometimes doesn't show up due to ram limitations. Not a deal breaker at all.

That's only true for Windows, but go ahead and say it's so anyways.  The short version is that on a 32-bit OS, the userland is limited to addressing 4G of memory space, but the OS (kernel) through PAE (for example) can map up to 64G (should be enough for anyone, right?  ) and would allow for splitting the resources into two processes to make use of more memory than a single process otherwise would.

Magres posted:OMPi is the thread recommendation for a "tons of crap" kind of modpack right? My girlfriend and I want to play together and we want a good lots of stuff pack, cause I like doing tech and magic, and she likes doing magic and decoration. I know someone just answered this with Modderation: FYAD, but I kinda disagree. Modderation: Permabanned is a kitchen-sink pack. FYAD slims it down considerably by removing lots of redundant mods. It's mostly based around EE. Both are good. OMP-i is also a delight and I enjoy it frequently. I mostly play OMP-i these days but I should really play FYAD more to learn EE.

In Botania, what's the best way to generate mana once you can build a runic altar? Right now I only have two endo flowers because a creeper blew up all my dayblooms. Which functional flower should I focus on making first to get the best mana return from?

I like to use a mix of the gourmaryllis (the one that eats leaves) and the endoflame (that eats fuel) on a tree farm. The one that eats foods is also really good if you have a good way to produce that and are willing to rig up a simple timer (the best way to do that depends on the pack).

You don't even lose everything in the tank if you break it. The bottom center tile keeps track of what's in the tank. If you break THAT one, then you lose the liquid.

Beyond the first tier of TE tanks, TE holds more (it's a 4x multiplication compared to RC's 2x). The thing is as mentioned the big tanks just look cool since TE tanks don't multiblock. They can stack but they don't combine horizontally.

Which functional flower should I focus on making first to get the best mana return from? I have a few endoflames next to a basic pressure plate / open crate / hopper setup. Feed it a stack of charcoal and watch it spew mana everywhere. A gourmalyllis (which eats food) is nice if you have an hourglass controlling the rate it gets food, and it's a great way to get some use out of the rotten flesh and spider eyes you probably have lying around. If you have mana diamonds to spare to make the top tier runes, entropynnium (eats explosions) and munchdew (eats leaves) are pretty great.
