Random Encounter posted:I'm running a locally hosted server for myself and a few friends. Mobs move in discreet bursts instead of smoothly moving from block to block. Players both local and remote lag behind on their location inputs by a fraction of a second, an example is trying to enter a pressure plated activated door, showing they pass through it, only to have them standing back in the door square with the door closed in their face. TPS is 20, avg tick rate never gets above 10 unless someone does something extreme. Type "/forge tps". If overworld tps is listed to be less than 20, you have a lag problem. Then install Opis and run it, it will help you track down the source of the lag.

It may be garbage collection (GC) sweeps causing those pauses, which happens too often if you have too little RAM, but also has a detrimental effect if you give too much RAM.

Scorpion 3-2 posted:I haven't played Minecraft in over 5 years. For Goon popular ones, there's Grimdark and Disaster Piece Theatre: Act 3, both running Minecraft 1.10.2 and both providing a server. Less popular and with no public server provided are NST Frostburn for Minecraft 1.10.2 and NST Exploration for Minecraft 1.11.2. There are some non-goon ones also posted in this thread and talked about extensively the last week (Curse of the Titans, Project Ozone 2, and a few others I'm forgetting). The arguably _easiest_ way to get modded Minecraft is to use the Curse (merged with Twitch) application and browse Minecraft modpacks by popularity or genre (e.g. sci-fi), or easily create your own.

Thanks for the suggestions I think I'll give NST Frostburn a go the others sound a bit too hardcore and I don't play online. Maybe I should play vanilla Minecraft first there's bound to be a million changes that I missed but playing moded Minecraft is 50% play 50% reading Wikis and watching tutorials anyways.

Something like agrarian skies 2 or project ozone 2 might be good to learn since they have massive quest books. It's helped me get started with modded Minecraft. Also grimdark on the goon server is great and everyone on there is helpful. And it's not a balls hard mod pack at all which is nice.

Well you can still try my old precious Baby's First Space Race if you just want to skim through what's new and what work as of 1.7.10. The oregen and quest rewards are very generous so you can focus on the mods. It looks like 1.10.2 has reached a point where I could try to move the pack forward, but I'm having a hard time ingesting those changes myself. It seems like right at the time that Vanilla added recharge times to strikes that everybody decided we needed monsters with tons of hitpoints and no knockback. I'm assuming there are some hidden gems for combat in the early game to help with this but I'm just not finding them. I guess they just want people to run away a lot.

Rocko Bonaparte posted:If we're talking about mage combat, then is there a decent 4-slot spell in AM2 for ranged combat? I cheated in a lightning spell that was basically projectile + 5 lightnings and I couldn't even cast it. I cheated up to level 20 and found I still couldn't knock out an 80 HP GoG mob before I ran out of mana. So I was hoping to find something simpler that could still dish it out. Adding more "lightning" does not add more damage. The things that affect spell damage is damage type, your magic level, the +damage modifer (up to 3), if you have an arcane book or not (arcane guardian), what the enemy is weak against (only applies to some mobs), and things that straight up add damage to your attack (potions of strength, wolfpelt bracers from some thaumcraft addon, etc) If you want simple, the best way is projectile -> AoE or Zone -> damage -> tangle. Zone will apply spells to a 3x3 area inside of it once a second for 3 seconds (so 3 applications), and tangle applies a powerful slow for a few seconds. Also don't forget to have armor (doesn't have to be ars magica armor) with imbuned effects from the inbunement enchanter (burn-out reduction, mana regeneration) for easier time casting spells.

Be careful with AOE tangles, it's real easy to murder yourself with them. In Banished you get one as a quest reward and, I swear, more of my deaths were self-kill by tangle than anything else.

If your Minecraft server is lagging it's probably not a RAM issue. I think one thing a lot of people do not know is just how bad Minecraft is coded, it does not utilize multiple cores (every modern CPU) so soon as the game has to keep track of more than a few entities or god forbid has to generate the world, you're going to experience slowdowns, and usually this has nothing to do with how much RAM you have. 4gb is about enough for ANY modpack up to about ~200 mods especially if you're connecting to a server. Singleplayer might need a little more past the 200 mod point, but even then 6gb is the most you should have to allocate. It occurred to me the other day when I was reading notch tweet about livestreaming Factorio, a game arguably inspired by modded Minecraft, that not only does notch not play modded Minecraft he'd rather play a 2d top down version of modded Minecraft. in all these years, no one got around to adding multi-thread support to really open up the possibilities of what you can do with mods. On the topic of modpacks, there isn't a more complete collection of everything good available on 1.10.2 than grimdark, period, full stop. so unless you're into quests, are running a five year old laptop, are the type that likes creative mode, or you like missing out on content there's literally no reason to be playing anything else right now, especially since there's a high powered dedicated server available for it that will even help your five year old laptop run it.

It's nice to at least know tossing a ton more lightnings on it won't do any good. It looks like it only knocks off 10HP or so on stuff that has 80HP, which is honestly better than most weapons in the early game, but I only get about three shots before I have a long recharge. So rewinding even further--is there anything I can do to boost up before I've, say, gotten up a really good mining operation? Back in my Hexxit days, my favorite thing to do was make a legia bow, take it over to the special enchantment table, and put flame on it. Then I had a big flaming shotgun. TBH that might have been a little OP because I didn't really bother with anything else after that, but it was the kind of thing I needed for soloing.

So rewinding even further--is there anything I can do to boost up before I've, say, gotten up a really good mining operation? If you want absolute easiest way to murder everything, you want a projectile "mark" spell and a projectile "recall" spell. Create a deathpit with spikes or whatever, shoot the "mark" location into the place you want mobs to be teleported to, then whenever you see a mob, shoot it with the projectile "recall" spell, this will teleport the mob to where you marked. And since it is an unescapable deathpit, you really don't need to worry too much about the mob's hp, only if it can escape or not. I don't remember how this would work if the chunk the marked area is in is unloaded. If you are running out of mana after 3 shots, I would just suggest you space out your shots more and/or imbuning your armor with 2 burnout reduction and 2 mana regeneration. The more you cast spells the higher your burnout is, which increases the mana cost of your spells, or use a cheaper damage type. Lighting does the most damage, but is also the most expensive, magic does the least damage, but is the least expensive. But if you have the magic levels and the materials you could go for the silver skills and just turbomurder your way. Firestorm, blizzard, and starstrike are the 3 silver skill damage ones, the best one is firestorm, the cheapest is starstrike. Starstrike does 10-20 damage in an AoE but it takes a few seconds for it to land from space. Firestorm does fire damage that ignores damage frame invulnerability and doesn't destroy items (I think). I haven't played minecraft for 6 months so I'm a bit out of date with my knowledge.

Thinking of hopping onto the Grimdark server but what's the quickest way to sort out keybinds for all these modpacks? I like to play with a typical FPS control scheme with C as sneak, shift for sprint, B for bags is a bit more unique but there's like 7 different mods that want to use those keys and most of the others are already in use. How do you know what it's safe to rebind without having to rebind 20 other things? The addon Controlling is a great start as it shows you which keys are unbound but I've still just taken 20 minutes to go over everything and I'm certain something useful is going to be bound wrong. I mean why does Dark Steel Armour have it's own jump key that's unbound by default? I've left it that way but it's still confusing when looking to try out a new pack.

CoTT keeps coming up with bullshit that makes me want to stop playing it. Monsters tunneled through 20 blocks of mountain to get into my base and to secure it I'd now have to essentially strip mine the mountain and replace it with reinforced stone or coat the mountain with reinforced stone. Neither are practical before the next night fall. e: I need to play something else to learn how to use the machines from the various mods, the CoTT quests give 0 guidance further than "build thing". I tried to power a pressing/rolling machine from IC2 and it exploded, destroying the machine. Carcer fucked around with this message at 10:58 on May 23, 2017 |

Neither are practical before the next night fall. Only zombies can tunnel? wrap a zombie flesh with 8 ingots of iron. Do that 6 times, then do the 6 of them 5? more times, Youll need a few bones and something else that is easy to get, and make the zombie charm. Zombies will no longer acknowledge your existence, even if you're whaling on them with your fists. So no more tunneling.

Project Ozone 2 is a 'skyblock' pack and as such is meant to challenge people who already should know the basics of what they're doing. Also the recipes tend to be changed up a lot and the mechanics of things rebalanced.

I'm trying to set up OpenComputers to control an active extreme reactor in FTB Beyond, using the brgc program. I've managed to get the computer to interface with the reactor and turbine without issue, but the program documentation says that it can also connect to my draconic energy storage. Problem is, I don't know how to connect the computer system to the orb. I've tried connecting to the pylon but the program doesn't recognise it. edit: I'm using the adapter.

It really doesn't though in many cases. The quest book wants to you to touch on the various mods but it isn't going out of its way to tell you why you're building this or how useful it will be. And it gates questlines fairly arbitrarily so you sometimes end up using something you're familiar with well before you have any quests surrounding it; probably the biggest being Applied Energistics as that's my centralized crafting/storage for weeks now and no quest has been unlocked for it. Still would recommend Rocko's Baby's First Space Race.
