I could make some serious use of that for Baby's First Space Race, because I've felt like it's always needed pictures. Naw, this is the tcon book system from the Mantle coremod, and talonos has written some custom page handlers for it. HQM is too broke to be able to safely extend.

Sometimes I get the urge to sperg. How's Terra Firma Craft, in terms of bugginess/playability? Assuming that I think the whole idea of an extended stone age and survival mechanics interesting.

TFC is the mod that got me into modded minecraft. It has always been totally perfect at what it's trying to do, even though what it's trying to do it pretty spergy.

Once I found a starting location with the extraordinarily overpowered combo of "fresh water" and "more than one tree," TFC started to be really fun! Hopefully I'll be able to get some metal soon and start really cracking things out.

I liked what I saw of Blightfall a month or 2 ago, and am really looking forward to the big update. It kind of has the claustrophobic feel of the skyblock maps without the (in my opinion, boring) risk of items falling into the void. One thing that I thought could have been made more clear is that you can get rare items from some of the little reward bags. When I saw the sapling bag I just assumed it would have oak saplings, and maybe dark oak or birch ones until I saw someone in the thread mention you could get some of the nether saplings from it. Also I just accidentally came across Tekkit Classic Reborn and had a good laugh.

So a while back I set up a Baby's First Space Race world for my cousin and one of his friends (they are 10 and 12) and they're absolutely loving it. Some of the more technical mods are harder for them to use though but they've managed to use the smelter I set up for them and learned how to create steel and even made a builders wand a few days ago but otherwise they've just been stockpiling resources with no real goal in mind. I'm planning to set up a passive big reactor and a machine network for automated storage and sorting of various items they can pull from but I'd also like to guide them along the path of space exploration, since that's kind of the point of the mod. Any tips for what I could build that would be useful for them? I was thinking I'd at least set up some sort of automated fuel refinery process that can work mostly independently as well as a farm with biofuel generation for jetpacks (they still haven't managed jetpacks). I've never really gotten into tech mods much since I've most enjoyed Thaumcraft themed modpacks so I'm a bit at a loss where to go with it. Edit: Oh and because their world is hosted locally and they play through a LAN connection when one of them visits the other, (they live quite far apart) I'd like to set up a VPN for them to use so they can still play it together online. Would I be able to do that with something simple like LAN Bridger? Demiurge4 fucked around with this message at 09:03 on Jul 3, 2015 |

I tried TFC for 30 minutes and got my rear end handed to me. So do I have to make my hut out of two layers of thatch or something? The zombies just came waltzing through. Also, it was nice to get some onions, but they all just broke into seeds. Is that right?

# ? Jul 4, 2015 08:37 |

I tried the OMP TFC package and it was scary and alien. I think I'll stick to better things. Edit: Thatch lets zombies walk through it but it also blocks line of sight, so if you hide in your thatch hut before the zombies spawn they won't find you.

My skyblock save just died because I didn't properly filter sacred rubber trees from the treefarm. Learn from my mistake friends. (I could probably fix it via mcedit, but w/e I'll start fresh anyways).

Echophonic posted:I really enjoy that I can't tell if this is sarcastic or not. 50/50! TFC is a cool idea and really comes together if the world gen cooperates, but most of the time I'll spawn on an island with no fresh water, or next to a freshwater lake in the middle of a treeless wasteland. It's weird.

I've done 3 restarts so far, and each one started on the coast of some ocean. I guess I can liken it to being marooned or something. However, it was kind of odd how that happened every time. I understand it with ATG; there's a lot of ocean there, but I don't get the TFC terrain gen. I figured out what I really wanted to do was just lay out tons of logs. Night time is really boring in the beginning though. I can only play this in small bursts.

So you know how people always bitch that Mojang should just rewrite Minecraft in another language? They just announced Minecraft: Windows 10 Beta Edition which is an updated and ported version of the MCPE version that runs on C++ and uses DX11 instead of GLES. I think this version is being maintained by the MCPE and Console devs since this versions is what will be what is run on Windows/Mac/Windows Phone/iOS/Andrioid/Xbox360/XBone/PS3/PS4/PSVita and will be the platform that MS was talking about for XBox Live integration shortly after they bought Mojang. They are also apparently boasting about player feedback via an in-game feedback mechanism, but I'll believe that when I see it. The Java version will still be worked on via the main dev team and will continue to work in the Windows 10 environment, people who own the Java PC version will get the Windows 10 Beta version for free, otherwise its ten bucks. Tommo, the MCPE main dev, states that there are no plans for mod integration and support for now, so don't expect a modding API if they don't have something in mind from the beginning. Honestly I feel this is a bit silly, but I guess having a platform that has a standardization of content between versions is nice and I guess this means Tommo will be getting better support which is good since he has kicked back a few improvements to the PC editions code to Jeb.

So just as a heads up, I finally defended the other week and while I still have things going on, I made sure to take the time to gather up all the fixes and features and release some new versions. So, lots of new things still in development, but the new elementals/fluids/etc are available, as well as the FluiVac and Flux Transfuser. Fun times.

Reason posted:No modding is really dumb. I can kind of see why the dev is being hesitant to talk about modding. I completely agree that no modding is a dumb idea, but there are several factors the dev has to take into account: 1) Tommo is being told (by I assume MS) to make this version feature parity across all platforms, if Block A or Mob B or feature C goes into Windows 10 version, it has to go into the tablet, smartphone and console version, so if they follow through on modding on one platform, all platforms have to have it in order to keep parity and some of the markets that it will be sold on will not allow for modding. 2) Because it is written in C++ it is much much harder to reverse engineer the code so the likelihood of something like Forge popping up is incredibly small meaning that Tommo would have to create a functional API and the likelihood that it will contain a fraction of what modders need or want is also very small and I can see him seeing it as an issue where more and more time is taking away from developing the game (because one of the big selling features is an in-game mechanic to submit ideas and improvements to the game so that the game is constantly moving forward with community suggestions) and adding niche components to the API. As a reminder, this isn't yet another iteration of MC that has been written from scratch, it is literally the MC Pocket Edition code (hence why Tommo is lead dev on this version) that is being pushed to become feature parity with the PC Java version and then probably go on to do its own thing. I mean, there are some major differences between Windows 10 version and the Java versions outside the language it is written in such as the fact that multiplayer is currently limited to seven players ir order for it to work across multiple platforms. This isn't being marketed as Minecraft 2 or even the new standard for Minecraft, but rather the "cross platform" version. MS and Mojang seem completely fine letting the Java version continue on because they know that not everyone is going to want to switch to the Windows 10 version, they know that modding is probably never going to come to the Windows 10 version and they know that they don't want to piss off the community at large, so instead of doing something dumb and stating that MC 1.9 is the last Java version of MC and then the next version is the Windows 10 version, they are just merging all the side MC products into one.

MrTJP is implementing a unique power system into Project Red. It's basically identical to blutricity, complete with its own blue totally-not-redstone, electrotine. It truly is nostalgic; there's only a solar panel, simple generator, a battery box, a proof-of-concept furnace that isn't worth the effort, and promises of things to come. After trying it out, all I can take from it is that blutricity should have stayed dead.

How is this copper thing supposed to work in TFC? I blew two day cycles trying to pan, and two more trying to find some in the four cardinal directions. No dice. I got iron, and just enough copper from panning to make a saw. So I am glad I could make a door, but I was hoping for a pick.

It's really the big frustating bit at the start. Just mark where you find the various ore nuggets on the surface and poke around hill cuts and all that for the textures. You can sort of cheese it if you have the right ratios to make bronze and cast them that way. Once you have enough of for one pick head (and maybe a prospectors pick), you can just burn stone shovels to clear junk to stone and fiddle with locating ore pockets. Generally copper stuff will be readily available on/near the surface iirc, malachite sort of junks out when its mixed in with red colored stones etc. I'm not sure if the weirdness of the sluice and pan shutting down ore gathering after x about of sand processing is still in or not. You might just have to travel near and far looking for ore, but you can gather up other stuff while you're out and about. Or mark nugget locations of other stuff.

Tetrahedrite and malachite are copper-bearing ores. I like to set a waypoint with a minimap mod any time I find a cluster of ore pebbles on the ground, because they always betray a cluster or vein underground. When you have a saw, pick, and prospector's pick, you can come back and mine it out. e: gold pans are kind of a crapshoot, they are basically a last-ditch option if you can't find enough pebbles on the ground to grunt out the three basic tools

Anias posted:Man TFC doesn't sound fun. "Scramble in the mud for pebbles of rock" is the least interesting part of minecraft. Yeah this has been bad luck. On the first two seeds, I found an overabundance of gold and copper ores on the surface. However, I bungled the first nights with both and set myself up to just die a lot. On this third seed, I got set up, but all I find for rocks gave to do with iron, which is at least one tier up beyond copper. So to those making suggestions, I was following the Wiki and did not find those alternate names for copper laying around, just iron. Panning is kind of like sifting in a skyblock. It was novel for the first minute, but that is it. I guess I will surface hunt a little more before I cheat some in or something.

if you do need to pan, remember that it checks overworked-ness by chunk, so if you overwork an area, walk at most 16 blocks in one direction and try again

also if you are finding a lot of iron around you are probably in a sedentary top layer, which is absolute balls for the early game due to its nearly nonexistent copper content (though pick up some flux bearing stone like limestone or chalk if you find that so you can start making leather and poo poo) i like http://wiki.terrafirmacraft.com/Ores_&_Minerals for figuring out what kind of metals are generally going to be in a given top layer if you can hoof it to a metamorphic or igneous extrusive top layer then you will have a much better time of it in the early tfc game I usually just keep exploring until I find clay, flux, fresh water, and enough copper and maybe bronze ingredients to make all four tools (chisel, pick, propick, saw) at once also taming a horse is absolutely worth it
