Sorry but the only bad thing about Immersive Engineering is laying everything out so it's not an enormous mess of wires.

It's probably because so much time with MS2 has mentally broken me, but now that GTNH has stopped crashing long enough for me to tech up a bit, I'm actually enjoying it. I didn't think I'd be that guy, but GTNH has a great quest book with rewards that don't suck to ease you into the tech tree if you're new to Gregtech. I don't quite get why the guy seems to have some kind of severe allergy to shapeless recipes, though. The tech tree is just such a radically different direction for the game I'm enjoying the learning experience. Despite a pretty clear progression for the pack, the book does a good job of pointing you toward miscellaneous paths to start down if you get bored and need something different to do. The sheer size of the tech progression can be mind boggling. I hear my opinion may be subject to change as I advance into the mid/late game and hit some of the hard time sink walls. We'll see, I guess.

Honestly, having played pretty far into it, my biggest complaint was just the ore distribution. Enormous but sparse ore deposits meant absolute feast or famine balance. Once you find an ore you need you're set almost forever with the size of these deposits, but if you're searching for like, the one metal you don't have, good luck. I installed a noclip/xray pack and blitzed through the world and still spent like an hour trying to find some specific metal to make batteries or whatever.

Serifina posted:Massive understatement. By default they use 8 rf/T and require only periodic water input to put out moderate paced, massive amounts of output. They crazy powerful. They're balanced against early-game IE, which is a pretty bad idea. It's also hilarious that you can hook them up with a sink and never have to worry about water again. Cloches are the easiest way to break early Sky Factory 3 and I wish I had known about them sooner. But I tend to forget that IE exists in packs.

Gwyneth Palpate posted:I've been tooling around with the new direpubname pack too, but I haven't gotten very far, and I haven't done much with the new Thermal Expansion. However, IIRC there's a machine that can straight up extract sap from trees, and in larger quantities, too. I forget what it's called, though. Combining the uses of Sap and Resin into one fluid would help solve the balance (although maybe still require too many sap-suckers) - right now though, the renewable tree-sucking machines make Resin, and enriching regular Phytogro into Rich Phytogro requires Sap, and Sap only comes from the Sawmill processing wood blocks into planks. I don't currently see a way to make a closed-loop automated wood production using only Thermal Expansion. It requires an input of Rich Slag (which I need to process ores to create), or large amounts of Sap which comes from destroying wood (which I'm trying to automate already). But maybe that's a good thing for balance - if you want infinite wood, be prepared to feed some ores into your system too.

According to https://teamcofh.com/docs/arboreal-extractor/ , you can extract sap from Oak and Dark Oak trees using the Arboreal Extractor.

I didn't realize that different trees would make different things from that, and arboreal extractors production recipes aren't explicitly in the in-game JEI. I am gonna automate the hell out of some Fluxed Phyto-gro

Is there a mod that adds just "magnet" mode for items, like what NEI had? It's probably the one thing I miss most about older minecraft.

There's also Actually Additions' magnet ring, but it needs to be charged.

GTNH is my favorite modpack ever because I am a crazy person. To anyone trying it, do yourself a favor and cheat the best version of the prospector's scanner. It shows you every ore cluster in something like a 17x17 chunk grid. Looking for the thirty different types of randomly spawned vein types is the single worst part of the gameplay, and if you give yourself that scanner you can get on with the excellent and stupidly long progression path.

EnderIO has a magnet that goes into your bauble slot. It does require RF tho, and while it's not a massive power drain the power requirement might be something you want to consider.

There was a modpack I found a year or so ago built around nature and exploration. It had a bunch of harvest stuff and came with Sildur's shaders. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

Life in the Woods?Captain Invictus posted:Yep, oftentimes comedy falls flat when you're really, really down. While not something on Steam(of course), in regards to that, when I went through some...bad poo poo, I had just installed the Minecraft: Life In The Woods modpack. It adds thousands of new items, recipes, foods, buffs, animals and monsters, and over a hundred new biomes to the game, as well as more robust villages and villagers with quests and poo poo. It is absolutely less about building absurd machines to automate everything, and more about exploring, farming, and building. If you have a good PC, it also has an optional shader pack that adds dynamic lighting, shadows, water, etc and makes the game look just really great. I put hundreds of hours into it, it really helped me out during a particularly rough time.

So I went back to SF3 after a bit playing around with direwolf's new pack/lp series (oh man I never knew Thermal Dynamics was so easy), and I need some more advice on things. First: my mob grinder collector:  Is there a way to filter out the bows or just destroy them? Second, still trying to get my auto-hammer-sieve setup working even remotely efficiently.  Lava isn't going into the closest generator. If I can set up some more crucibles, will that increase the lava flow into more generators? I've seen people setting up rows of crucibles so I assume that's the case.

Additionally, make a drawer key to lock the drawers, so empty spaces don't get filled with whatever random trash happens by.

I honestly don't know if it's "slow" or not. It seems to be grabbing things pretty well from a chest and putting them into the drawer controller.

Okay, cool, thought so. I'm not so much worrying about efficiency as getting a steady stream of redstone and diamonds without spending a bunch of time doing it by hand. Then I guess I can move on to the farming/mystic agriculture/chickens stuff.

You can make Yellorium Blocks out of the Yellorium Dust, putting the block under a crucible melts cobblestone 50X faster than lava.

Has to do with changes that happened to base MC from 1.10 onward, but yeah. Pretty much all 1.10+ modpacks need 5-6 gigs of RAM. The big ones will use even more than that if you let them.

I give everything 4gigs of RAM and I assumed that was enough for anything! How the hell has Minecraft modding become so bloated? There are no HD textures here this is Minecraft, what is taking up all that RAM?!  1.7.10, the best version.

I can only assume when they bought the company Microsoft instructed Mojang to incrementally make the JAVA version of Mincraft shittier over time, until it is a bloated mess when you want to run mods. This would be to encourage sales of Microsofts new Minecraft 2, written in C++ with many of the features of modded Minecraft built in as default.
