Yeah, my AE2 system is post hoc. (but works fine for what it is doing atm) I could expand it, but it would be even messier than it is now. I'll work something out tomrrow. What was this guy that took his mods off twitch mods? i have no idea what he did. And where am i going to get stacks of chaos ore in msb2? I've got 1 sitting in a draw, so ive been somewhere where it spawns but cant for the life of me remember. And it cant have been a lot of it, and i need a lot.

What does Embers actually do? I've seen it in a couple of modpacks and it looks like an incredibly obtuse version of a simple tech mod. If I jump through all these hoops and decode the cryptic and badly-organised manual I can - what, get a slightly better furnace? I don't get the point. Also why does it put empty dungeons all over the map?

Low-tech kinda magitech tech mod, as far as I can tell. Has an interesting aesthetic, but Elucent seems to have a tendency to get a good start on mods and then move on. Oh. Side-effect of the mods being archived is that any pack with Elucent's mods is now uninstallable until they release an update removing them.

Roots and Embers were cool, visually intriguing mods but had almost nothing to show for it. Both mods (but especially embers, as people who had to get through the actual tech might've learned) were pretty drat unintuitive and didn't have much in the way of rewards for all you had to put into it. The magic spells in Roots were incredibly weak and unrewarding, and you really had to build up a lot of infrastructure to get anything in Embers. I've seen them in lots of packs, and they're pretty as hell, but I've never seen much purpose in them. Black Pants posted:Oh.

I don’t think Elucent is necessarily wrong when he says that “the community is bad for [him],” but it’s not because it’s incredibly toxic or horrible in this specific instance. He may be telling the truth when he says he isn’t butthurt, but it really does look like he’s upset that people don’t adore his mods as much as Thaumcraft. If he’s making mods for that reason, he should quit, because that’s not a healthy, sustainable reason to make something creative. You’re already putting yourself out there and casting a product of your blood, sweat, and tears into the void to potentially be totally ignored. Doing anything creative for attention and adoration has the potential to offer some seriously disappointing returns. On the other hand, the last time I played around with Embers I really loved the aesthetics but the feel of using the items was just slightly off and nothing had any loving sound effects. Thaumcraft has a shitload of polish to the point that just activating the infusion altar is incredibly satisfying. If you want Thaumcraft attention you gotta put in Thaumcraft work  On the OTHER other hand, of course I don’t find out about a loving Carpenter’s Blocks replacement for 1.12.2 until it’s pulled from CurseForge entirely

There are people who upon hearing actual Eloraam Redpower coming back 100% faithfully would be totally into that. The community has historic darlings they will celebrate over returning. Seeing this reaction to Thaumcraft being completely rebuilt for a fifth time I can sympathize with disliking. It may be time for a new generation of magic mods and Roots had potential. There was just a lack of substance. Taking your toys home over it is pretty thin skinned over these gripes.

I'm pretty sure Elucent did something similar a few months ago for about the same reason, i.e. "people don't like me enough". I'll be curious if this sticks, given how it's going to impact a lot of major modpacks.

Wow lol. Glad I'm not using his mods. I kinda learned that he was a baby when it was discovered that he programmed laggy backdoors into his mod that made him super powerful when he joined a server with his mods on them. When called out about it he lashed out and got very defensive and butthurt, instead of, you know, taking out the useless source of lag. It scanned the inventory of every player on the server every tick to see if they held a specific item, then checked if it was him. They make mods to compensate for something and it's not healthy.

However, P2P tunnels exist, which means that you can tunnel sixteen separate dense cables through the bridge for a maximum of 512 channels. (You need two channels per tunnel.) You can't nest tunnels, either.

Tunnels can go through the ME controller, so technically you only need to run 1 channel (for the exit p2p panel) through the quantum bridge.

That's a pretty reasonable final response, although it doesn't really erase his earlier dickishness. Like, quitting modding is absolutely his decision; I don't think he should take flack for that. Just downloaded 'Thaumaturgy's Rebirth' modpack since it was literally the first option, has TC6 and a couple other QoL mods and saved me the trouble of doing it myself. Trip report soon.

'All of these great magic mods and now Thaumcraft too, man 1.12 is great for Magic mods' became 'Now that Thaumcraft is here magic mods have finally returned to Minecraft' in Elucent's mind despite that Astral Sorcery, his poo poo and some others were specifically mentioned. And yeah, Elucent's generally pretty hostile, tends to enjoy getting into arguments about how Minecraft modding sucks now because people don't want to spend time solving problems like they did in the Buildcraft days and just want thinks handed to them, and that DE is bad because if a pack has DE and he isn't using DE armor/weapons he's actively hampering his 'success' and that feels bad.

I normally like Optifine and have no real issues with it, but in Forever Stranded: Lost Souls, having Optifine installed and dying causes the Overworld dimension tps to sit around 10 (despite that you're not in the overworld) until relogging. Doesn't seem to happen without it. I've got no loving idea.

I used to use optifine during 1.7 days and the game would just run slower and slower with time until it ran slower than vanilla until I reinstalled. Since I played on a server, this wasn't an issue. In my experience, 1.12 runs well enough to play normally without, so I play without now.

I really, really don't like the 'ok here's two options, - give me some taint essentia (from what? where? Even deliberately filling a cauldron with random poo poo over and over produces nothing noticable), or give me some taint essentia + death essentia. Occasionally the confusingly worded ones that don't actually tell you what items they want clearly always - the fact that the 'combine two vis and see how they react' wants the two base vis, but 'combine two vis and give the result' doesn't want the base vis and presumably wants the end result instead (but I haven't actually tested this yet because I was dumb and mixed the two up and was trying to input the base essentia again) They just need to add a 'give up' button for any one hand to just waste the inspiration point if you can't see either being completable. The ones that ask for an essentia /bottle/ are weird, because i don't ever have bottles, but it sometimes just lets me complete them randomly anyway, but sometimes it doesn't even if they have the equivalent amount in crystals. Other than that though, it's really neat so far, and i haven't really been too inconvenienced by dead end research. On a different note, how do you use casting foci? I have a casting glove and a flame touch foci but I can't seem to figure out what it wants me to do to make the foci castable.

Just gonna throw it out that I'd be over the moon if I heard Eloram was 100% coming back with a redpower2 remake for modern Minecraft. Frame contraptions were very much my poo poo and I still enjoy Minecraft but I do sometimes lament how things get condensed down to single block mods. I still very much enjoy modded minecraft but I do sometimes think that modern modpacks offer more direct solutions than the creative tools to solve the problems.

Same way as selecting a foci in TC4, with the change focus keybind (which still isn't in its own Thaumcraft section). Then you right click with the gauntlet. Touch-Flame seems to work like using a flint and steel on things.

I looked through the list of keybinds twice, but I was looking for a thaumcraft section which probably explains why I missed it. How DO you get something with taint essentia for all these research quests anyway? Do I just keep dumping large, essentia heavy pieces of junk in the cauldron a moderately safe distance away and across a river from my base and hope something goes wrong? Or is there an easier way to make massive amounts of flux? Wolpertinger fucked around with this message at 23:17 on Jan 26, 2018 |
