Me, before making Terrasteel in Break Out: "ugh I can't believe the author is making me generate half a pool of mana in such a small space" Me, after making Terrasteel in Break Out: "wait why does my mana pool still have so much mana in it" edit: Me, after getting to the final quest: "oh god I need to make nine more terrasteel" edit2: oh gently caress this modpack. I hadn't even bothered with an AE2 system, and only now do I find out that I'm required to make a Singularity. ...I guess I should've checked the recipe requirements for the final pick. edit3: cheated in a singularity. That wasn't the final quest, and I need to make another two blocks of terrasteel, get four rabbit's feet, and get some Wub ore. I think I'm just going to cheat through the rest of the pack. Clearing out all this obsidian to make a real base in the bedrock shell just isn't any fun. McFrugal fucked around with this message at 20:33 on Mar 1, 2019 |

If it didn't have the powdercoating and the simple machines stage the mod would be fine - other than the one time you have to really annoyingly craft the industrial dyes to make the industrial powdercoating, new EnderIO is just old EnderIO + more. It's finally fast enough to be viable for lategame! e: Honestly I love all the extra metals you can use now. I want more mods to have a spread of tiered metals, not just "this one's the endgame and everyone looks the same in it and uses the same setup"

I don't know if I'm just too tired and unmedicated right now but I just cannot figure out crafttweaker scripts. I'm trying to make an endless desert modpack with skyresources, and I just want a simple script to let me make red sand from normal sand, and make the basic six thaumcraft crystals. Preferably with life infusion and the alchemy table respectively, but then crafttweaker throws an error insisting that there's no such thing as skyresources. Even a normal shapeless recipe is giving me errors. Are there any example scripts out there so I can just steal and modify them? Feeling really dumb right now.

So, 2 questions. What are the current quest based packs that people are liking? Love the game but can't seem to keep on playing without some definite goals. Second, how do I make the Twitch launcher update packs when I click update? The drat thing seems to just not do anything when I tell it to update most of the time.

xanthan posted:So, 2 questions. What are the current quest based packs that people are liking? Love the game but can't seem to keep on playing without some definite goals. For 1.12 you've got: Sevtech. A very strict exploration and age-based pack. Caveman to astronaut while digging liberally into magic and numerous techs. Relies heavily on quests at first then loosens as ages progress while still pushing you towards where you need to go. Project Ozone 3. Latest iteration of the popular skyblock. Normal mode only right now so more of a loose progression. If you're looking for a more strict and complex experience then waiting for kappa mode and more updates would be good. Project Ozone 2 kappa mode for 1.7 is still one of my personal best experiences in minecraft. Enigmatica 2/ Expert/ Expert Skyblock. Variations of a modpack much like the above though has been out longer and more polished. The expert skyblock version in particular is a much different interpretation of skyblocking than usual as it eschews sieves and the like in favour of multiblocks. Massive questbook to keep you on track and with things to do. Exoria. Another heavily involved exploration type pack. You have a central hub world that works much like a skyblock without being in the sky - building from nothing and using that to expand, etc. Gimmick is mainly about exploring different dimensions. Questbook is decently strict about keeping you in line.

Also twitch related, sometimes when I click on a Minecraft mod it just spins and spins and doesn't load the mod info (I'm trying to check for updates). What I'll do to fix is just hit "Play" on the mod which then opens the Minecraft launcher, which I close, then when I click on the Mod info again it'll load right away. My theory is that hitting "Play" does a higher-priority request than whatever query is hanging, but populates the same data I was trying to pull about the mod.

This is why when me and my friends play we usually use Lost Cities (and turn off the haunted mod that it comes with). Just clear out a building and use it for whatever you want! We usually make buildings into like a HQ for particular mods or set up processing machines for a particular purpose in them. Some buildings come with treasure chests too, it's nice.

It was nice to get the prefab starter house with the ladder down to y11 in the first Craft of the Titans. At least until you went through a cave as you went down the ladder and a Deez Nutz creeper blew you up through the diagonal corner. I think the only other prefabs that were worth it were the end/nether portals.

I used the Warehouse (two story large open layout) a lot in a recent skyblock, although I forget which one. Maybe Modern Skyblock 2/3? (I installed it myself) In Project Ozone 3 I just used the Skylands mapgen and that worked out great.

I quite often end up setting up inside of some sort of premade structure, at least in modded packs. I don't want to live in a dirt 9x9, so I try to fancy stuff up...but then I inevitably decide I need this one specific cosmetic block to finish my build, which requires a bunch of infrastructures, but I've got nowhere to put the infrastructure since the build is unfinished, and so on.

I've never done much large scale building in this building game, so this game I'm planning on making some ziggurats for the big magic multiblocks like the blood magic altar and the infusion thing for thaumcraft. Should be a fun change from my normal "pile of poo poo in a field" method.

Actually this is something I think Minecraft needs a ton more of - abandoned or premade structures in the world that you can latch onto. Even if they're just stone and wood and brick and nothing fancier than that, I loved taking over an abandoned church I found in one modpack that had a bunch of extra things like that. Edit: I'm a goddamn prepper in Minecraft. I can't handle being out in the open with skeletons and poo poo shooting at me, so it's almost always full walls or an enclosed space.

Enigmatica 2 Expert had a bunch of neat looking but otherwise pointless building you could find out in the wilderness. I don't know which mod added the different things but there were plenty of things to look at as you ran around. Makes exploring a lot more fun.

Falcon2001 posted:Crap, you are correct. I misread the documentation. I'm pretty sure it's all coded and not coming from data files because I really did want to get in there and monkey around. The pre-made tunnel and helper chests are very convenient and something I wanted to include in a tutorial pack. I can even imagine how you could create a prefab and just place special blocks for where to put those special things. I think Schematica is the one where you can save a structure and build it elsewhere--complete with preview and all. However, I think it expects you to have all the materials. What I also couldn't figure out is if I could make some kind of creative, single-use blueprint that I could give a player to, say, create a large, mod-friendly machine shop building. The stuff in Prefab isn't so good for that. Depends posted:It was nice to get the prefab starter house with the ladder down to y11 in the first Craft of the Titans. At least until you went through a cave as you went down the ladder and a Deez Nutz creeper blew you up through the diagonal corner. Do you mean that the vertical shaft was exposed to any cave systems it plunged through down to Y=11? The ones I'm building always wrap everything around with stone on all four sides, harvest whatever ores it replaces with stone, and slaps them in a chest on the bottom. Or do you mean that Deez Nutz creepers would just blow up that enclosed section anyways? Black Pants posted:I take forever to find a place to live anyway, so if I can't find sheep before nightfall I just dig 3 down into dirt and place a block over my head and wait until morning. I did some experiments with not really settling down someplace right away and I feel like it's become more of a pain in the rear end in 1.12.2. I use to be able to get a spectral dimension key fairly easily or at least haul my life around in MFR plastic bags like some kind of bum. That key is very hard to make anymore, plastic bags are gone, and people are really fussy about turning rotten flesh into leather for backpacks. What I came up with kind of relies on villages. Every village I found so far had an Immersive Engineering shack of some kind, and their crates were fair game. Well, the wool too so I could make a bed. The crates were portable storage so that let me wander some more without getting fed up. This was also a good time to try to get some emeralds from stealing wheat. There's a packing crate in Pam's Harvestcraft that'll convert 32 of a crop into an emerald, so you can use that with PlusTiC to make emerald tools. The second phase I'm dabbling in is traps from Pam's Harvestcraft to get leather, but I haven't gotten a handle on how well it works (how long it takes). Generally, I see a fun quest chapter with the theme of not settling down and trying to avoid mining for iron. There's little bits about flint tools and such you can scrounge together on the way.

One trick for leather is that you can use a TiCon drying rack to turn any kind of cooked meat (including cooked fish) into leather. It takes a couple of minutes though.

If it weren't for the fact that dimensional changing is so finicky in minecraft, I would love a setup where you have a Spectral Key base sort of deal and then spend most of your time wandering around. I liked Exoria for this exact reason, actually.

They skipped out on rotten flesh though. I think I'm too gung-ho about that; zombies just need to be more useful for something. The fish is probably the best way to go since you can fairly easily make a fishing pole in modded Minecraft and just work on a small patch of water at night to get some fish. I'm hope the Pam's Harvestcraft trap kind of takes off some of this edge by turning some grain into meat (to cook and dry into leather) as well as some leather itself. I just don't know the constraints on it. Like, can I make one of those down in a cave somewhere and be fine so long as it's surrounded by dirt? I like the notion that the traps are just altars to some benign fertility god that accepts the baits in exchange for random animal body parts. It sounds like the type of animal it traps has to be anywhere nearby.

What the hell is the point of rotten flesh anyway? Even in modpacks where it can be used for stuff I always end up with a chest/storage drawer full of the crap. Does it even have a purpose in vanilla?
