You can stack up to like 32 mystical agriculture growth accelerators underneath your tilled blocks to speed up growth.

I keep coming back to this game every year or so, what do folks use for pack launchers these days? I think it was the Curse launcher last I checked, though. Are grindy tech progression packs still all the rage?

Are grindy tech progression packs still all the rage? I enjoyed Rise of the Pack when I played it a couple months ago. It's has a quest book and taught me a few new mods. I'm not sure if it's the faster release schedule or people just getting tired of it, but it seems like the modding scene is kind of thinning out.

Yeah some quest-based packs don't give you the book and expect players to know you have to press tilde to bring up the questbook interface. Better Questing sure hasn't made things more convenient. I got pretty far into RotP, just started making not-MFR machines. I'm a bit put off by them (and mekanism machines) requiring 9 osmium and 9 steel each. Steel is basically just iron at this point, and osmium is fairly common, but it's still fairly expensive. Should I have some sort of effective passive oregen at this point? I can't imagine how, except maybe via Botania? The not-MFR laser drill is probably still too expensive at the moment.

Better Questing sure hasn't made things more convenient. I just made a TiCon hammer that mines 5x3 and auto-drops lights. It's pretty easy to get a couple of stacks of osmium in a few minutes of mining, and once you have a pulveriser you can double it. Copper is actually more of an issue for me right now, guess I did too much of my mining at y=16.

I've gotten bored of the Technic 1.7.10 pack. Any suggestions for another one to try? I want one that has good quests and good automation options; it doesn't have to be tech-based, but the main reason I don't like Botania is having to run around and manually click everything to harvest crops, keep my mana generators fed, and so on. I also have an aversion to skyblock maps, mainly because I have a fear of falling, but as long as cheats aren't locked I can cheat in some extra floor. Again, though, I want to be able to get things automated fairly quickly.

Without having any idea of your experience level, Ender IO, Thermal Expansion, and Immersive Engineering are three tech mods with tons of pretty simple automation tools with very thorough in game explanations for stuff. Mekanism to a lesser extent, but that one might be more complicated than you'd want right out the gate. Ender IO was basically my intro to modded MC and it was very simple to figure out the basics of. Factory Tech I hear is the new hotness for 1.12 that completely scraps a lot of aspects of the popular tech mods that we've come to take for granted and does its own thing. It was made by a Factorio fan and basically tries to reinterpret a number of that game's core mechanics for Minecraft. Parts that wear out and have to be replaced (which you can automate, something that leads into a lot of the mod's depth), components that work together fairly intuitively, and notably doesn't run on any kind of power. The connections between its various machines are complicated enough without having to worry about power.

botania is set up to allow for pretty much any automation you would want. it might not be the most efficient or fastest way to do it, but it's possible.

I have been really digging Homestead as of late: https://www.atlauncher.com/pack/Homestead TL;DR is a survival-focused sandbox that strikes the right balance of sperg (torches that you have to relight, for example) and fun gameplay (not mashing your dick with a hammer). 1.10.2, alas, but it is really elegantly designed to let you do poo poo at your own pace without the goal of automating automation for its own sake.

Hello modded thread I know this thread is mostly SP these days, but I want to let people know I'm hosting a small Dark Grid server, skyblocks with a twist. It's really cool concept and not enough people have played it (probably because it has a lot of unneeded crap in it). I created a slightly stripped down version that removed bloaty mods that weren't required (decocraft) and a few others that were totally redundant (there were 3 separate mods that added only backpacks, and 4 that added only chests, and 3 barrel mods), but you can still connect with base modpack just fine because I didn't add any additional mods. If you want the stripped one for faster load times and better performance I will post the override folder (you'll have to create a new profile and click import in the twitch launcher). Pack: https://minecraft.curseforge.com/projects/dark-grid My minified version: https://www.dropbox.com/s/8w9hnedcbtfahcq/Dark%20Grid%20Minified-1.0.9.zip?dl=0 Server IP: 136.33.144.178 Also, this is just a prelude to more server stuff I plan to do very soon, for those that are interested. Progress is coming back. (Soon™)

No go for me, Doing it by hand to check and it doesnt work on the top tier ones :/ ( i will move a MM over and see if it works. I may even remove the crux/block underneath to see if that works) EDIT"-- nope, wont be using the mechanical user on it. causes my game to crash. have to load up mcedit to remove it. Now, im almost halfway through DE, but i see the other side is the uber crafting things. What do i need to mass produce? For example, it looks like i need to set up maybe another 1 or 2 top tier void miners. Then i need banks of pulverisers to get coal. This coal then funds the creation of dark matter in multiple ways. What else should i be setting up? Meskhenet fucked around with this message at 09:40 on Jan 22, 2018 |

Ask me how I made a piston tape to time the dropping of coal blocks for a patch of endoflames, only to later figure out there's comparators now and they work on hoppers for super easy and precise timer options the real solution is just using the hourglass from botania

Coal blocks are a bit more efficient than 9 coal, but also take too long to cycle in endoflames, so you lose one every now and then due to despawn timer. it's not a big deal, I just like making things more complicated than they need to be

Truga posted:Coal blocks are a bit more efficient than 9 coal, but also take too long to cycle in endoflames, so you lose one every now and then due to despawn timer. Yeah. You can solve the despawn issue by using a hovering hourglass to pulse a hopperhock every 4 minutes or so to suck up the coal blocks, as well.

If you put a dropper - with a redstone torch underneath it - pointing upwards underneath a pressure pad it will pop out the item on top of it and shut itself back off automatically as things are gobbled up. Perfect for as many endoflames as you could want. E: Went and dug out my old design. It's a redstone clock underneath. Fed by charcoal being pumped in from a tree farm.   And the full setup.
