with its inclusion in exoria i was maybe hoping that embers was being updated again, but nope. the pipes and whatever in that mod are great and if nothing else i'm glad the mod is at least stable right now.

the dev got annoyed at everyone telling them to mix it with thaumcraft since a new version was coming out and so they just dropped it. i don't know about anything beyond that.

heard u like girls posted:How do i get glass for the Tinker Smelter? Melt sand in the foundry stuff, using a block mold. This gives you clear glass directly. You can craft clear glass by itself to get vanilla minecraft glass.

i could be wrong but i don't even think bees come into the picture until you're actually getting into the magic stuff, so before then most everything for the tech quests early on should be something you can get in other ways.

Eh, might have got him mixed up with someone else there. Consider me full of poo poo on that (or on everything!) until further notice. I do know that Embers was open source, and now it's "all rights reserved" and the link to the repository 404s. Whatever went on that's kind of a dick move if you ask me.

Yeah, idk what the deal is with Exoria bees. The quest book swears up and down that making the exoria bee is super important, but then the products it makes aren't used for anything. I've been keeping a pure line of Exoria bees going when I remember to replace the princesses and frames, though, just in case.

I was watching Soaryn stream the FTB Continuum pack, and one of the devs was showing off a bee that builds a 9x9 while it's in its house, and apparently has a dev bee named for himself that increases the speed of stuff around it passively. So apparently some of the new bee packs have passives for having the bee working

Elucent (the Embers dev) definitely had a meltdown that was at least Thaumcraft-adjacent. IIRC he decided that he wouldn't be maintaining any of his mods anymore because people dared to say that with TC6, magic mods were finally returning, which he felt didn't give Roots or Embers enough credit. I think he's "returned" to modding but is sticking to his guns on never updating any of the ones people liked ever again. As for whether or not he'll ever let someone continue Roots/Embers/etc., don't hold your breath:  That second requirement sure is something

Roots is a beautiful, unique, interesting mod with basically no payoff and no reason to get into it.

i dunno, roots 2 has some neat stuff going on. the initial version of the mod was pretty barebones but there's definitely some cool utility stuff going on.

Vib Rib posted:Roots is a beautiful, unique, interesting mod with basically no payoff and no reason to get into it. Funny, so is Embers. I only know Embers because I play challenge modpacks almost exclusively, and it has lots of fiddly, unique crafting mechanics that modpack devs love to use for gating.

Gwyneth Palpate posted:Yeah. Diamond Pipes are Silver Pipes in Exoria. Did end up wrangling a decent looking auto-strainer system going after figuring out that trying to connect all the drawers together in a mess of clay pipes along with a trash can was a bad idea, using pipe plugs to make sure items try to insert themselves into each drawer at least once before going to the trash can fixed that though!

Tyty posted:Did buildcraft pipes ever get smarter at splitting a stream of items? I remember waaaay back in the day trying to set up for the equivalent exchange ice loop that sprouted up after the glowstone loop was fixed and having problems. Unlike what I'd expect (switch which direction to send the item at an intersection to get an even spread) it just seemed to pick a direction to send them randomly. Dumb pipes like cobblestone, stone, etc haven't gotten smarter. They're not intended to be used in a junction or in any way other than one in, one out. Looking at Exoria, it looks like there is a "wooden silver[diamond] transport pipe" that claims to do "round-robin extraction." I'm not sure what that means. There's also an "emzuli" pipe, which does "gate-controlled extraction." I haven't used either of these, but I suspect one or both of these might properly affect a round-robin setup. There's also pipes that "paint" items and accept only painted items, which I also haven't used but feels like the old redpower painted tubes thing. Also, in Exoria there's the "Additional Pipes" mod. That's where the gravity pipe comes from. It has a "distribution transport pipe" which "outputs a configurable ratio of items to each side." That sounds like a similar thing. Round robin and load balancing is a pretty tricky problem in minecraft. E.g.: Thermal Expansion has a round-robin mode for servos, but it blocks if one of the inventories it is outputting to fills up, rather than just ignoring the full inventory.

Does getting shocked by IE wires drain power? If not you could build a fairly inexpensive perimeter wall or mob grinder by just stringing a couple HV wires around.

Nevets posted:Does getting shocked by IE wires drain power? If not you could build a fairly inexpensive perimeter wall or mob grinder by just stringing a couple HV wires around. I'm not sure. Getting zapped by an uninsulated wire does punt the entity a ridiculous distance, at least with the case of HV, though, so it might be unsuitable for a mob grinder. In Sevtech I was getting loving juggled by the bird's nest of HV wire above my base pretty regularly, and probably would have died stupidly if it wasn't for Armara god-mode.

I think the funniest thing about the whole debacle was the post that Elucent flew into a frothing rage over specifically mentioned Roots and Embers in the 'With [insert a bunch of mods here] and now TC6...' post. Just not prominently enough I guess.

Chisel paper walls annoy me. They are incredibly cheap to build so you'd think it's a great idea to use them for mass constructions in Exoria. Yet, they have drawbacks-- water will break them and you can't put torches on the sides of a paper wall. This makes them really bad for walls and really bad for any building that uses water. edit: it looks like I can make electrum via the grindstone. I'm thinking I should upgrade my sky resources 2 stuff to electrum, any reason not to? McFrugal fucked around with this message at 01:24 on May 25, 2018 |

Ambaire posted:Don't know about cobble, but here's one for dirt. Ah, perfect, thanks. I didn’t read far enough into the description for this one when I looked at it earlier today. Disincentivizing cobble isn’t as important if I go with PrimalCore’s “cobblestone must be crafted” option, anyways.

Don't bother to upgrade your combustion chamber beyond iron, and only then so you can install a combustion collector and quick dropper if you want. Combustion is only used for making the crystal shards for the condenser in Exoria. The condenser, OTOH, you should upgrade ASAP. I went iron -> steel -> electrum -> signalum.

In MSB 2 to whatever... can you use glass on the combustion set up like it says to in exoira? Because it is SOOOOOOO nice to see stuff inside and if you can wow, i didnt know. My problem now is space. I dug into a mountain and i cant be bothered re-settling my machines. Oh, and how do i get to the other dimensions? so teh quest book lead me or is it something i'm meant to know. because i have my rock bees but they need to be somewhere less hot :/

FTB Continuum is by far the most robust mod I've played that uses quest-guided progression, but EFab can gently caress right off. Who thought making the Smeltery Controller take at least 7.5 minutes to craft was a good idea? poo poo like that is why I leave cheats on and switch to Creative to skip the tedium.

I had it process items almost immediately, and I've had it take a long time. The best thing to do is to load it up with four buckets of water and 16 urushi paste or whatever at once, then walk away and do something else (chunkload it maybe?)

Who thought making the Smeltery Controller take at least 7.5 minutes to craft was a good idea? I saw the 30 minutes with 1 gear box and raised an eyebrow - but I get the point, it's to break up crafting and intersperse other tasks, kind of an enforced 'don't burn yourself out on all this crafting'. Gives you a chance to build something pretty, or chunkload your base and go exploring.
