Verizian posted:So I tried playing that lost souls modpack again, not sure why but half the quests refuse to complete, googling revealed a workaround is to edit the quest tasks so I went with that. At least up until I was looking through the questbook when something green with a slimy texture seemed to attach itself to my head, obscuring my view before it blew up and destroyed half the ship. I haven't seen or even heard of that type of mob, but it shouldn't be an anti-cheat thing because I've done the work around for plenty of quests with no issues on that front. Now my last world is messed up and refuses to load after I went to the overworld (not the first trip), so I'm waiting on another patch before I even bother again. Also the last release breaks the better with mods siding custom recipes (e.g. wood casing, chest that uses 8 sidings).

runchild posted:Well lucky for y’all McJty literally just tweeted about how Continuum v1.1.0 changes the smeltery to take 10 minutes, reducible to 2.5 with 4 gearboxes. I haven’t played it so maybe I’m talking out of my rear end, but I think timed crafting makes sense as a source of that “I’m making progress” feeling. You invest more work in gearboxes and viola, you can make stuff faster. Not gonna argue that 30 minutes is pretty ridiculous though. I feel like the one of the main issues, besides it originally being 30 minutes, is that you can't really progress on any other quests without the controller. Also getting 4 gearboxes takes a ton of iron and unless you're really lucky on finding iron odds are it would take less time to get it crafted with 1 gearbox than finding iron for 4 gearboxes and then starting the craft. Honestly efab just feels bad to use, it is a bunch of blocks that don't require being put in any specific order, so it could really be just one block with the additional poo poo going into upgrade slots. Also when you get RF power stuff to it you can make the electronic chips, except the empowerer is still better being used. I can easily automate the empowerer with hoppers and not have to make yet another ingredient (4 wires) that the efab wants. The efabs only feature seems to be to introduce even more time based tedium. Also gently caress people that thing the efab is the same as crops, most crops can be grown instantly with bone meal and crops don't tend to be things you need to progress. Soaryn called it FTB: Tedium for one of his stream titles and I have to agree with that.

Ambaire posted:Good server. Beware, though, the Cyclic Player Launcher is .. broken. It gives a 'Bouncy' buff that logarithmically accelerates the player once they make contact with a solid surface. I've been using it quite a bit, and it will happily bounce you sideways 800 blocks in a single second, or cross a 1500 block ocean in even less than that. If multiple people are using it, prepare for Happy Fun Lag Times. pfft 1500 blocks, I used the Player Launcher + a jetpack + slime boots and launched myself over 20000 blocks. I was honestly surprised the game didn't crash, even though it did lock up for a bit. From that point I decided I couldn't trust myself to not launch myself way too far, so I stopped using it. Not that there is really much reason to travel around.

Vib Rib posted:Gave it a quick look. I was going to say they really expect you to know how skyblock progression works, with how little info any given quest has, but then I noticed you don't get clay buckets? So you can't transport water/lava until you get an iron bucket, I guess? If that's the case this pack demands like 10x more boring-rear end dirt sifting for pebbles than most Ex Nihilo packs do. Yeah you'll have to sift a bit of dirt, but with a mob farm it is easy to just open 12 million loot bags to get an iron bucket. Though ProjectE makes it really easy to get additional items after you get the first. If you can get 4 obsidian from a lootbag you can get to the transmutation thing really quickly.

Playing Stoneblock 2 for a bit and all I can really think is how much chickens suck when you don’t have an easy acceleration wand to speed up getting them all to 10/10/10. There is also fluids cows now too and they have a cow stall to make “milking” them much easier, but unfortunately their breeding time pauses when in the stall. Also with the ftb loot crate system being used is their anyway to see the full list of items each crate can drop? Plus 42 more items isn’t really all that helpful of a tooltip. As always the quest rewards are a quick way to trivialize some things, as I ended up with like 16 of the tier 6 mystical agricultural essence as a reward and even a couple of the cruxes.

Some mod packs are certainly insane. I'm fine with Madpack 4 making literally everything except dirt and stone have a chance to spawn mobs when you break them, but forced boss fights with minecraft combat are a big no from me. So if you want to play a pack with a 100% chance of you dying and restarting (since you're supposed to play it in hardcore mod) than this is the pack for you. Also farting cows will chase you around and be generally annoying until you murder them.

Also this is the easy mode version of Project Ozone 3, Titan and Kappa modes have not yet been released.

I can't make string meshes because it just defaults to Erebus silk and the usual tiny charcoal recipe becomes useless Galacticraft charcoal chunks. It's not like it adds a bunch of load time to put those mods back in, but man that's a lovely thing. Those three mods aren't ones that should even be touching recipes, but with these huge mod packs who the gently caress knows how things actually interact. I wonder what I should be spending all these reward tokens on. The ability totems are useless because you can easily get them with a mob farm, but I don't know what can even drop from the loot crates. Edit: For Titan/Kappa modes I really hope that we don't have to dip into the hunting dimension if Ancient Golems don't ever spawn because you're apparently in the wrong biome in the sky.

Meskhenet posted:any difference in blood moons since 1.7 or whatever the last big batch of mods were? We're not talking teleporting creepers with x-ray vison right? just a whole bunch of mobs and cant sleep? Blood Moons in PO3 are on a 45% chance and all they do is greatly increase the spawn rate and prevent you from sleeping. Now you're not going to want to actually be out and about fighting mobs on the ground during a blood moon. You have normal creepers, charged creepers, and John Cena creepers are also back. Skeletons with bows are snipers and are super annoying to deal with when they're constantly spawning. If you play on a world type where you have to deal with mob spawns (default, sky islands, noodle) then you'll want to secure your area with torches and wall yourself off or you'll be spending blood moon time doing nothing. None of the mobs in PO3 are inherently unfair, but a blood moon means you'll be swarmed with them. Obviously Garden of Glass means you don't have any areas they can spawn on unless you make it, but on default you can still do the tried and true dig down and live underground method. Also if you're playing on default and plan on going out in the world I'd recommend making a waystone (or two) and a warp stone so you can easily travel between your base and the world itself. Or you could just turn off (or greatly lower) the chances of blood moons, so that exploring isn't super risky.

Gwyneth Palpate posted:I've been playing PO3, and it seems really unfinished. I'm really struggling with redstone, in particular. The only way to automate dust production (for sifting into redstone) is to make a modular machine, which itself requires a shitload of cobalt (or making a material stoneworks factory, which is a tech rabbit hole and really slow.) Modular machines require cobalt. Cobalt is a very rare drop from sifting crushed netherrack, which is, admittedly, easy to get by just vein mining the nether with a diamond hammer or whatever. Do you mean that you have to craft the ore pieces from the sieve into the chunks before you can smelt them? Because if so there is a machine that can easily combine them, there is a compactor (probably not the right name) that you can pump items into that has an option to do 2x2 (or 3x3) auto crafting. My sieve setup has my item collector pump into a crate that in turn has everything that can be 3x3 or 2x2 crafted pumped into the compactor and then from there they’re pumped into drawers. If I wanted to I could have the ore chunks go into a furnace and then into storage. The fact that prosperity shards are from iron meshes only is also very annoying, so I give my pick axe the base metal tool rod and just vein mine the poo poo out of the nether. I also really try and get into mystical agriculture as fast as possible to get away from ex nihilo, but I don’t actually know how to automate agricraft poo poo. With 10/10/10 seeds (and bonemeal totem) it doesn’t take long for me to get thousands of whatever essence I want (provided I can get the actual material first).

Gwyneth Palpate posted:In PO3, specifically? Because it doesn't have Ex Compressum or whatever. I looked up "auto" and "pack" in JEI and got nothing relevant, and the thermex factorizer doesn't work on them either. It is the same mod that was also in PO2, compacter, just search for it in JEI. It requires RF to operate, but it has multiple modes of operation you can choose. The middle of the 3 buttons in its UI it where you select the crafting option (3x3, 2x2, try 3x3 first then 2x2, etc). Edit: If you use the "Try 3x3 recipes first" option you will need to blacklist coal (via your transport system not the compacter itself), otherwise you will end it with it crafting the 2x2 recipe regardless wasting a ton of coal on that useless recipe.

I think the old MFR plastic bags didn't carry forward into Industrial Foregoing. Some pack I had played did have a process to turn rotten flesh into leather, but I can't recall what did it. I figured cloth bags are my best bet if there's a mod that generally does that. Odds are the mod you're thinking of that turns rotten flesh into leather is Actually Additions. The Atomic Reconstructor machine has a default option to convert flesh into leather.

Whalley posted:I... wouldn't hate that Prestige is just, essentially, SkyFactory IIII's version of an Expert Mode. What most people seem to be doing is having a main world where they actually progress and make a ton of other worlds where they do the first page for a point and then delete it and make a new one and repeat the process. Even if you use the machine that generates points via power it still has a restart feature. You start the machine, feed it enough power, and after a set amount of time it will kick you from your World and restart it to the state it was when you first turned the machine on and give you a point. IIRC the power requirements go up for each point. If none of this sounds entertaining to you, then definitely do not use Prestige mode. If you do want to do Prestige mode then maybe shoot for the bag that is supposed to fast forward early mode (6 points) after you get hopping bonsai and ore excavation (and probably a mulch or two).

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.

Meskhenet posted:Ive got no idea what you're talking about >< but ill start making the box I’ll start with the box first as it is the main way of earning points. When you open the GUI on the parabox you have an option to start a loop. When you start the loop it makes a backup of your world. From this point on any changes you make to the world will no longer matter when you end the loop. This is how you can duplicate items because ending the loop resets the world, but not your inventory, to the state it was at when the loop started. Using this start/stop method you can quickly turn 1 item into 1000 with the only downside being that you have to constantly reload your world. Now like I said the parabox is the main method of gaining points, because while you’re in a loop every 10 minutes it will generate a point as long as you give it enough power. It starts at 10m RF for the first point and goes up by 10m for each point after. Now on to the geothermal generators, they’re just a cheap and easy way to make power. If you have an auto clicker on top of a cobblestone generator feeding a cauldron to make lava you can pipe the lava into the generator. Now without the stacks of speed upgrades geothermal doesn’t make much power. However if you have 4 or 5 generators each with 256 speed upgrades then you can start to gain a good number of points. My setup was initially a few generators (each gen gets its own clicker and cobble gen) until I got 4 points for the flux network. Once I had the flux network I duped my way to the max size energy storage tanks it has (128m RF per iirc). With a dozen of these I had over one billion RF held and since the loop resets everything that means each time I went to start the loop even if I broke all my generators I’d still have enough RF to generate points for over an hour. If I really wanted to I could just dupe my flux tanks until my buffer was some absurd number that would take days for the parabox to use up. And besides the parabox itself, SF4 does not really have anything else that uses massive amounts of power.

Option 1: Use JEI to back track and see the ways you can end up with your end item. Option 2: Make a Nether Cake and travel to the Nether (bring a stack or two cobblestone) and just mine some Nether Quartz.
