I miss the old and great packs, TPPI, Bteam, Infinity Evolved, Voltz, Hexxit The most recent ok pack was Blightfall, and possibly Regrowth (although i hate the crops needing to be bred to 10/10/10) We need a good modern story pack which has sensible progression and interesting storyline.

I just started Enigmatica 2 Expert and ... no veinminer? The achievement is there but the hot key does nothing. I looked in the mods folder and don't see it there, did they pull it for some reason?

The mod "Controlling" is also in the pack, so you can search keybinds by category. Try searching for the "Ore Excavation" category, then by whatever key it's using to resolve the conflict.

Lots of mods have facades/covers for their pipes/wires. Buildcraft, AE2, Thermal Dynamics, Ender IO, etc. I usually disable them because they dynamically generate so goddamn many variations. I’m personally not aware of a mod that adds generic ones.

Surprised one doesn't just let you right click the facade with a block to make it look like it. I know some mod did it with doors or something, so it can be done.

Just go into JEI/etc, click the options button and enable item hiding mode, then follow the prompts to hide them. Single click to unhide one for crafting reference. I do this all the time for mekanism's plastic blocks and stuff, just leaving the white ones so I know they exist.

Covers serve a practical purpose too, in most mods they make the pipe block both opaque to light/mob vision (which helps alot in mob farms) and give it a standard collision box (which is nice when the floor is made of pipes).

Still really enjoying SevTech. I was childishly thrilled to watch a metal press punch out the first few ingot because it means I don't have to do them on a stone anvil or cast them one by one anymore. Wife just rolled her eyes at me.

SevTech is super popular for a reason. While there's a lot to be said about parts being too grindy, the exploration aspects needing a lot more, and certain mods being abysmal (hur hur hur), there's something extremely satisfying about it's actual core progression of "start as caveman, end in space." Also, if you like doing actual builds, there's likewise a lot of satisfaction in having an excuse to build multiple buildings in all kinds of different architecture types across different eras, and then going back to see your previous bases.

I actually did exactly that at one point. I had a straight up medieval castle looking bastion of safety with a moat (No water, it was for keeping out zombies), parapets for skeleton archers, punji traps along the bottom for spiders and so on. Then it got super easy to make torches and I wanted easier access to darkland for gem farming so I moved. Now I can go back and look at the primitive hovel I used to live in with it's quaint stone grill and horse powered equipment.

The last time I was at all seriously involved in trying to learn about modded Minecraft was around 1.7.10, so as you can imagine I've been experiencing some culture shock. Browsing this thread I've managed to learn a little bit about the ecosystem, but I still have some questions to ask to hopefully save me some frustration. 1. I didn't understand a whole lot about modded Minecraft previously, and pretty much any information I might have gained back then is gone, except TiCon which is burned into my brain for some reason. I've attempted a handful of modpacks and each time have felt overwhelmed with a bunch of bullshit (except SevTech, funnily enough, which I've only just started), so I kinda just want to pick a single major mod and learn how to use that. By "major mod" I mean poo poo like Botania or AE2 which fundamentally alter the progression of the game. The problem is, I have no idea where to start, because it feels like all of these mods have so much interconnected functionality between them now that they act like a giant meta-mod. TL;DR how do I ease my caveman brain into tech/magic mods? 2. Are there any tips that just generally reduce frustration? Stuff like setting keepInventory to true and mobGriefing to false on a new map.

I second Baby's First Space Race. That was the first time I built an AE system and got to the moon. I usually burn out before them in most modpacks. The Ozone packs are pretty good, though they can definitely be overwhelming when they really get going. I'm playing the third one right now and when you have to progress through a mod you don't want to do it can be frustrating, but there is always another set of stuff to focus on for the time being. That said, I just got to the Embers part of the pack, and I may give up cause I really just don't feel like doing it all again. I really hate that mod.

I actually gave this a shot the other day, and while I appreciated that the quest system generally didn't require you to make any huge leaps of progress on your own, I wasn't a fan of the Skyblock-esque feel of the whole thing. Also, and this might be a moddedminecraft.txt kind of thing, but even as early as I stopped I could feel elements of RNG starting to screw me (like having to hope I got enough dried sugarcane from the strainer to advance, which took way longer than it should have). Stoneblock 1 does the same exact poo poo by making you get 4 of each of the 6 saplings from dirt with the crook. I don't know, maybe I'm missing something.

Depending on what sort of learner you are, BFSR is still relevant today because while some of the mods used are very similar to the way they once were, it also teaches you how to learn a mod you're unfamiliar with by way of looking at NEI/JEI and going through recipes and seeing how items connect to each other. It teaches you that multiblock structures exist and gives you examples of how they might look. I think even today and even if you never play other 1.7.10 packs that BFSR is still an excellent resource due to how easy it is to apply the lessons you learn in it to other mods.

You only needed one sapling each from the dirt, then you could just grow it and crook the leaves.

holy poo poo the Abyssalcraft part of SevTech is one of the worst experiences I have ever had in modded minecraft First I have to walk like 4 ingame days to find a Shoggoth lair, and after a peek inside I set my spawn nearby using a bedroll. Then I attempt to kill one of them with my bronze sword. Nope, that's gonna take forever. Maybe I can get 6 of them to chase me like the book describes. I'll go into the lair and try and lure more out - oh whoops I died in there because they do a fuckton of damage. Well my spawn point is nearby, so I'll just - whoops I died again. And again. And about ten more times. Finally, I manage to make it most of the way out of the lair and die on the stairs. I go over to find my grave and....nothing. There's no grave. Maybe one of the shoggoths overwrote it with ooze, I don't know. So now I guess I'm painstakingly cheating in everything I had in my inventory, including a full backpack, because of this broken mess of a mod. Maybe I should just cheat in a statue too and be done with it.

Also, don't forget that Minecraft is a game where you can place and remove blocks in the world. Use this forbidden knowledge to make murderholes for shoggoths. There's a crafting recipe for the statues, as well.

Once you do that it is time to use the parabox to dupe the hell out of speed upgrades and get yourself a couple more generators. Seriously, parabox item duplication is intended and you should abuse the hell out of it. Also if you have a bunch of geothermal generators with 4 stacks of speed upgrades you can then start a loop and go do something else for a couple hours.

Early abyssalcraft is easily the worst part of sevtech. I'd personally suggest turning off mob griefing in general which neuters them pretty heavily or, if you're a purist, digging up some of the blocks that make up their lair and making a kill box of their spawn room - a one block gap at the bottom and two block tall entrance will keep them pretty well trapped as you slice their feet up with relative impunity.

Maybe I'm an idiot, but I was having a very hard time getting access to any sort of light source. For some reason, when I started a new map with the mod, it didn't actually place me in a small room with a torch, I just got dropped inside stone and had to fumble around in the dark until I managed to luck out and get glowstone ingots from a loot bag. Even on my second attempt, I kept having problems actually getting trees to grow just from that torch. Was I missing something there? Also, don't you need a 2x2 to grow dark oak? So you would need to get 4 of those regardless.

The different dimensions it poses does have a bit more variety in them than Galacticraft and Extended Galacticraft's planets but they are still "grind mobs for materials using a special stick, upgrade stick and book, fight boss, build key, access next dimension, repeat." I haven't found anything in particular I'd use from that mod outside of it yet.

Sage Grimm posted:Truth.

Yeah, I dig the general concept of abyssalcraft, but all the numbers seem to have an extra zero on them for no good reason. The idea of 'you're worshipping something evil' isn't a terrible idea, but the implementation is weirdly hamfisted, especially in Sevtech where you can't even build the altar structures from a different version of the mod that allow for safe energy gathering. Really the issue with this (and a bunch of mods) is that if you can cheese it (for example, I set up my altar in the hunting dimension, and then just stayed on top of a stone pillar area and AFK'd while charging my tablet) then everyone will do that, but cheesing it is boring as hell. Sitting there watching statues slowly fill up your book for like 5-10 minutes is basically the anti-fun equation, and there aren't many other real ways to get that stuff done. The part I find really weird is that all these mods based around 'put yourself in danger to get resources' really should just have some sort of thing like Blood Magic where you kill monsters and get demonic will or whatever. Instead it's just 'AFK for 10 minutes, during that time there'll be four events where you are in danger for you to deal with'. It's just equal parts boring as hell and intermittently possible base-ruining (if you get a shoggoth spawn because you built the statue charging area in your base you could literally render your base uninhabitable if they multiply.)

Falcon2001 posted:(if you get a shoggoth spawn because you built the statue charging area in your base you could literally render your base uninhabitable if they multiply.) Protip: shoggoth statues have a block at the base that serves as a spawner for the shoggoths, and it eventually runs out. Heavy shoggoth infestations can be dealt with by spawning 5-6, running away to despawn them, then running back to repeat the process.
