How does it know where the destination is the first time? If you're building two portals, you won't be near one of them when you first activate them. It will HAVE TO chunkload both of them at some point, even if it's only once. In that case, upon first constructing a portal it would start chunkloading and would keep doing so until the destination portal is built, at which point they could link up. You'd have to put a timer on it to prevent people from just building a single portal to chunkload, which could be exploited if it's too long and annoying if it's too short.

Oh, also, if the destination isn't loaded, you risk falling through the world.

Generally this issue is solved by not giving a poo poo about people using portals to chunkload.

Easy when you place the master block it stores its coordinate in world.nbt data, then when you dial that address from another location it knows by looking in the World.NBT data

So, every portal is a different dialing destination, not linked up in pairs? You still have the problem of teleporting into an unloaded chunk and having it fail to load.

when you dial it loads the destination chunk before showing the portal is active.

So I'm super casual and just got bit by a Minecraft bug recently and pretty much rely on Technic exclusively to play cool Minecraft mods but pretty much everything I care to try except Tekkit is refusing to actually run. I'm mostly looking for a more fantasy/magic leaning pack but Hexxit and Hexxit Revisited are just opening Minecraft, hanging, and closing back down to the launcher.

You could try AT Launcher and the CrackPack, its pretty nice with Thaum Ars and Blood/Witchery as well as the usual tech mods.

How do you automate the crafting process for something that literally has no crafting recipe by default?

You put an item transfer node (extra utils) on the side of the puddle, and it will remove the completed crystals when complete.
and you can do a dispenser to put the items in the puddle.

Inscriber you put in top left bottom and pull out of right.
Power in back and you are set - Or use Steves Factory Manager.

you can find Charged certus in world, once you get it then you only need 1 charged quartz to make 2 fluix meaning you can then make the charger to make more charged quartz. its a major first step to understand.

It can end up as a big box, just they are going to be different components. A starting configuration to use up all 8 channels from a surface of an ME controller is
code:
[I] [A] [I]   [A] [I] [A]
[A] [c] [A]   [I] [c] [I]
[I] [A] [I]   [A] [I] [A]
Where
I = interface
A = molecular assembler
c = cable

This will provide you with 9 * 8 = 72 slots for patterns and a pretty good chance that there's no conflict between assemblers.
Once you move into Dense Cable and have access to 32 channels, you can expand the pattern longer (4 times for 288 slots!) and be basically set for crafting recipes in the mid game.

Dense Cable is the way to go, and you make controllers as a hollow cube (bit like the unfilled Tessaract frame)

and then you can P2P out to remote areas using the standard glass cable

Yeah but you still end up with just lots of interfaces for just a few patterns each. I liked in the old version how you could dedicate a page to having every recipe from a mod, or like all the different color variant lights from project red, for example.

Obviously AE2 is more geared towards lots of small networks/subnetworks instead of one big one. I certainly wouldn't complain if Extra Cells or something added in a "pattern storage" super-interface or something.

if you make 6 interfaces against 1 atomic and then make it a block so you have IAIAIA then next row down up left and right AIAIAI every interface has 6 assemblers and every assembler has 6 interfaces.
you put acceleration cards in all assemblers and it really goes fast.

TFC talk: You absolutely should get a pal to play it with. Its a whole other experience with someone to share the load, and not in a "Anything can be fun in multiplayer, stupid." way either. Alot of TFC's mechanics are rewarding with cooperation, from farming to animal husbandry. The peak example of this being the smelting process for the more complex alloys.

So is anyone else unreasonabley hyped for "Blightfall 2.0"? I say unreasonably because I know its still going to be the same lovely minecraft combat, but man i cant wait to fight the world for my right to live on a world that very much wants me dead and turn it into a ~~industrialized hellscape~~ paradise for the colonists.

I have been thinking about redoing blightfall and going thaum from the start, no tech no hqm
why fight the taint, use it..

also use water buckets to clear taint tendrils

I hope I don't get flamed for this but here goes. I read the OP and still have questions. I have a son who is 9 and is addicted to this game. I bought the game for him and thought that would be enough. Wrong. He is now asking me to get him mods for the game and I'm hesitant to just do a random search since it seems a lot of places really piss off my antivirus program. The few I did download have error messages (even some from the OP) so figured I'd go to the end of the thread and ask my goon mates what place can I reliably download mods and what mod is currently thee best mod (I know there must be some kind of consensus) and where can I get it? I know nothing about the game really but my son would be tickled pink if I could tell him I installed a mod. Thanks for any help.

There are currently 3 main modding systems available with access to online servers as well. (although you dont need to go online to play modded)

Technic Launcher (already mentioned)
FTB Launcher
AT Launcher

Google any of those to get them, They all have packs available for download as and when you want to try something, Technic launcher has a lot of packs available by search,

I have never heard of them cracking down on it. It's definitely against the TOS but despite servers like them being reported I've never heard of one being taken down.

Actually selling items normally available in the game is against the tos, but lots of servers are selling stuff like claim blocks or ranks that allow extra chat or other online server options that are not part of the Minecraft system pers�

as long as you cannot get the item normally in Vanilla minecraft then its not going to violate the Mojang TOS as you are selling something they don't make....

Well, in the version I played, you started out in a spaceship and got to choose from five drop pods, each led to starting areas of varying difficulty. The progression is basically:
1) grow some trees, make tcon tools, use some reputation to get some quick food, then crops you can farm to deal with hunger
2) mine under the base for some starting metals
3) do some quests that send you out to scout nearby locations, making the mad dash across the taint. each location has a teleporter that you can use to return to base (and go back and forth)
4) discover new metals at other locations, use reputation gained from doing quests to gain stuff you're missing
5) scavenge ethereal blooms from other teleport locations, use them to clean the area near your base so you can expand
6) research research
7) more scouting, more quests, more research, better cleaning tools
8) become a magic god, clean the world

It's not really grindy, but tech ore can be hard to come by. Oh, you need to have a tolerance for Thaumcraft research of course, as Thaumcraft progression is required to get anywhere. I guess you can skip most of it and only use the parts dealing with taint removal? Also the gear you want. There's some Blood Magic later in the pack, which can be considered grindy I guess. It can be difficult at the start since the scouting quests make you run through tainted land filled with nasty things that want to kill you. Some experience in dealing with packs of dangerous mobs is required- either running from them or killing them without armor. Obviously once you've geared up and researched enough thaumcraft to get good cleaning tools you've got a good handle on things.

It definitely has a good atmosphere. There are a bunch of custom-made structures, and there are NPCs to talk to in the ship now.

Apparently a while back someone let slip the easy way to do the mad dash - Taintrells are removed by water....

If you've any plans to do another iteration on Blightfall, or if you do another modpack, I'm sure you'd be able to find people to do alpha/beta testing and help in various ways.

E: Oh for getting all the thaumcraft aspects, the other one that's a pain to get is Humanus, which is Bestia (Motus + Victus) and Cognitio (Spiritus + Ignis) mashed together. Every time I do Thaumcraft, I almost always build Victus and Humanus

I actually use a forum post i found for that.

OK , I found gold under alpha dome in the caves, I went down to the glass turned right took the coal and then went back to the center 2 blocks then right 2 blocks then right 2 blocks going down all the time and you hit caves with gold in it.

the ethereal blooms at the marble temple are good,

You can take down the leaves and the outlying logs as the node is in the main trunk and will remain as long as you don't break that one (i got 4 saplings from mine) - you can see how the block holding the node has strange burn mark on the side

also just to the north/north west is a pure daisy from botania and it also keeps the taint back so that may be a better localised protection of taint.

Gotta be fun dealing with warp effects in Blightfall, though. Can't just turn off Warp either, 'cos then you miss out on all the Eldritch stuff (which I still have never seen).

Question, where's glowstone in blightfall? I was working on a basic AE system because I'm tired as hell of chest sprawl (and I want to start thaumic energistics ASAP), and forgot you need glowstone for the panel for an ME terminal.

you could try to get a single mfr laser drill that will provide Every ore including glowstone.

I also found end stone under Alpha dome, but where can you get Ghast Tears and Blaze rods?

okay here are some pictures of my blightfall stuff

this is my main base from the air, i started in alpha dome

as you can see it is basically Yet Another Organic Growth base with stuff thrown all around
just left of center is my food area, where i spend way too much time trying to find OPTIMAL FOODS to stuff into my lunch box
to the right is my chicken imprisonment device which has been netting me feathers and eggs for basically the entire map
god i need to do the AE stuff but power is hard in blightfall

here's my little farm, though i should probably tear down the saguaro because the fruit is culinarily useless

here's another shot of the outside
a thing i found out after it was too late was that tainted animals can and will attack through fences to take your animals to the MURDERZONE
so i threw up some secondary fencing to keep them safe

this is dome beta, where i ended up setting up my thaumcraft related stuff

here is my infusion altar, as you can see i have a little bit of a flux problem
i should probably make some scrubbers but
this is an insufficient number of candles

oh hey chauncey what's up, still manning the alembics as usual i see
we need to have a talk, i put down some nice new void jars but you seem to want to fill empties up with essentia instead of the void jars
if you can just go ahead and use the void jars from now on that would be great
otherwise i have to toss the extra jars into the SHAME DEVICE behind you, yeah, the one with the green laser

Well you know that the "room" that your infusion altar is in has to be completely symmetrical that includes jars and walls. - same with the aspect altar

I'd go for Orichalcum, personally, but that's partly because I've already found and bookmarked some

E: Just got my first Totem of the Dawn and daaaammmnnnnnn they clean a big area, by my estimate it's a 48x48 area (3 chunks x 3 chunks, centered on the totem chunk, I think) where Ethereal Blooms clean something like a 7 block radius. If you can make a couple dozen of these you can clean the world out in no time. I'm gonna work towards totem spam with one Dawn Machine for cleaning up tainted nodes. By my reckoning, with a Euclidaisy covering Auram, you can make all the essentia needed into renewable resources. Hardest part is gonna be the fact that each totem takes 7 ordo shards and an ignis shard

ok won't be building one soon but i will get there.

i genuinely don't want to sound like i'm nitpicking a lot, believe me. i personally lowered it in my solo game since it's a lot to keep track of on top of everything else, but on a group server i'd be fine with whatever. mostly i just wanna be able to sell the adventure pack to other people better, and it's hard to do that when people immediately start asking why they need to get into cooking like 50 different things when they're already dealing with taint and whatever else.

I like the idea, it takes your mind off the taint as you concentrate on getting food, so taint becomes second nature

Autocrafting will wind up being a multiblock structure. I never really optimized that with AE2; I only started getting into the crazies with it at the beginning of the year and my cohort lost interest. So I know the gist of crafting CPUs and the like but I'd have to look at it again before I told anybody how to do it with AE2.

BTW where is that secret in the swamp? Given how easy it was to find the secret behind the lake waterfall, I figured the swamp would be nothing. I've been running around all over near swamp delta and getting nothing.

before you had to make a huge multiblock structure to hold the patterns and copros, now its different
crafting setup needs at least 1 storage module and possibly a copro - and it needs to be square in shape so a 2 x 2 x 1 will do - 1 storage 3 copros
these are the actual crafting computers so you may only need one to start.

then you have an assembler surrounded by interfaces (and vice versa) I usually try to do a flat setup as follows

AIAIAIA
IAIAIAI
AIAIAIA

Then you use the interface terminal and pattern terminal to make the patterns and then put them in the interfaces.
You can accelerate the Assemblers.

For smelting etc you put an interface on the top usually with patterns in (via the pattern terminal/interface terminal) and that will allow you to pulverise/smelt stuff needed

Thats it for the crafting setup
(you can just start with assembler and interface on it (remember the small interface does not pass power so you may need to power from a cable seperate if you don't use the block interfaces)

Mkay. Depends on what you think is easier/cooler, I suppose. My idea takes ~20 mana spreaders and 10 of them need to have bore lenses (it's basically "fire bore burst down the row, pass it over a row with a non-bore spreader into another bore spreader, repeat") and can do ~110 plants (this is all assuming my math and my knowledge of mana spreaders are both correct, which is definitely not guaranteed). I'm hoping to power it with a bunch of hydroangeas so I don't have to mess with it and could basically just black box it with an item pipe coming out and leading into a barrel of reeds.
