So when I look at the dynmap for my NST Diet server, I see a DIM-100/Underdark entry in the dimensions list. I can't find jack poo poo on such a thing via Google. What the hell is it?

D34THROW posted:So when I look at the dynmap for my NST Diet server, I see a DIM-100/Underdark entry in the dimensions list. I can't find jack poo poo on such a thing via Google. What the hell is it? The Underdark is added by Extra Utilities. The portal is a single block crafted using Unstable Ingots*, and the dimension itself is basically an infinite cobblestone cave with hostile mob spawns turned way, way up. It also claims to have higher concentrations of ore (under the cobblestone layer) but I never really noticed it in my exploration of the place. It also seems to have pre-generated structures made out of the mod's colored stone bricks and planks. The main gimmick of the underdark is that if you spend too much time in too low a light level, you start to take damage at a very fast rate. The idea being that the darkness itself in the underdark is a hostile entity. OoooOooOooOooo!  I found it to be pretty dumb and pointless. * Unstable ingots are pretty terrible. They explode catastrophically 10 seconds after being crafted, which WILL kill you (there is a special death message for it). They'll also explode if you drop them on the ground. You basically have to make them and then immediately make what you want to make with them and if you gently caress up, you're going to die. The only thing I've found them to be really useful for is Ethereal Glass, which will let players pass through it, but not mobs, and looks pretty cool.

Christ. Good for farming mobs if you need to, but otherwise pointless by the sounds of it. It makes me miss an old server I used to play on back in the alpha days; it was a gigantic hand-crafted cave system spanning the whole 128-block map height. Giant obsidian creepers, ice caves, all sorts of weird events. Even had a Redstone Cult that left cryptic messages and redstone everywhere. Kind of like WilsonSMP underground.

I have some questions that have come up while scouting around in a modular powersuit. First, is there anything I can do to fix locked up chunk loading? When I rocket around for awhile, I hit a point where new chunks don't load anymore. I was stuck in a small grid last night that was mostly ocean, with just a few small islands. It was night so the monster spawner just starting vomiting hostile creatures onto the islands. It would also regenerate any blocks I tried to dig, so I couldn't just burrow down and try to wait it out or something. All I could really do was quit and come back in. I think it happens when I'm looking at new spots. In previously-explored spots, it won't load the chunks sometimes, but it knows what's there. When going through unloaded, but explored areas, I don't slow down like it happens unexplored areas. Is there a known clone bug in TE's energetic infuser? I tried to recharge my chest powersuit armor in one, and when I pulled the piece out of the infuser, it kept giving me one more, like Jesus with the loaves and fishes or something. So now I have these three chest pieces kind of just chilling. I'm also still trying to get the handle on flying. I have jet boots, a jet pack, glider wings, and flight control. I can enter level flight fine, but can't really move up or down by set amounts. Is that not really a thing? Also, sometimes when moving around--I think particularly when looking down--it will break out of flight and I just come crashing down. It hasn't been too big of a deal since I'm over the ocean, and it looks like flight control keeps me from smacking into solid ground. It's still very annoying. Thinking about it, I kind of wonder if my chest jetpack is even being used. Maybe it's just using my feet. The energy consumption rate is also confusing to me. My head piece dropped down by half after a 20-minute journey, and a little nibble was taken out of the chest piece, but the legs and feet had retained all their energy. In other news, I'll second the good vibes over the builder's wand. I got one in some dungeon loot and just kind of sat on it until somebody mentioned it here. I wanted to test out a vertical farm idea I had, and it was very useful for quickly laying out the layers.

When going through unloaded, but explored areas, I don't slow down like it happens unexplored areas. Battery use goes top-down, it's not per-piece. In fact, you only need one battery in your suit at all. Jet boots are totally redundant with the jetpack and are probably causing some issue. I personally wouldn't bother with glider wings either when you have the jetpack and a decent sized battery, but it might help if you're having issues with up-down control. Being unable to move up-down precisely with the jetpack is just part of how it works unfortunately. Most importantly, you have to boost the power on the jetpack before you get much vertical thrust past counteracting gravity. I just wind up maximizing it, personally, since it's about as efficient at the top as at the bottom per block traveled.

I keep forgetting to post about my house on WylkerWorld. First a picture I made to show off the new skin I had made for the 1.8 update that adds more details (still in 1.6 though because I can't live without mods)  A few shots of the treehouse from different angles to get the different portions of it in more detail      My farm that provides all my food, being run by golems of course.     My lumber mill, also run by golems  Some interior shots, a good majority of the house is decorated and I just need to finish up the remaining rooms.       And this is the Dimensional Door entrance.

Roland Jones posted:Okay, follow-up to the Witchery and Hexxit thing, Hexxit (unless there's something huge I'm missing) is still in 1.5.x while Witchery is in 1.6.x, as is Blood Magic. Dropping them into that pack is out. So, does anyone know of some good Hexxit-ish packs with one or both of those mods, or some other non-Thaumcraft magic mod? Basically I want an adventure and exploration-focused one rather than the usual tech focus, though Tinkers Construct (which isn't really tech, just crafting with a little more infrastructure involved) is also something I'd like. Someone was talking about their pack a page or so back but I think it was a private one. You can try downloading the pack I was talking about at it's technic URL: http://www.technicpack.net/api/modpack/draugur-saga I can't make guarantees since I'm still tweaking it and looking for bugs. I'd suggest tweaking the configs in ways that make it more your style.

Shadowmorn posted:stuff about my Geothaumology pastebin The plan with the crystal machine is that it'll work like any block that consumes essentia - it just won't accept it till you've applied the upgrade, ala Golem upgrades. Regarding the Salis Mundus/Sugar thing, I'm tempted to do a TE-style thing, where sugar will work, but only get you say, 2 crystal per quartz, whereas Salis Mundus gets you alot more or something. Also yeah, editing the recipe for Salis Mundus to include the clear shards will probably be a good idea too. I'm sort of wondering if I should do some aesthetical stuff as well with the shards. Like, maybe "Active Ignis Shard" as a glowy, more light-giving torch(and no, I'm not thinking 1:1 shard to active-shard. Something like 1:6) And also maybe an "Active Aqua Shard", which creates water-source blocks around it? Honestly I have so many goddamn ideas I don't want to get too ahead of myself, because I've still actually got to crack down and learn how to make this thing.

Ars Magica 2 is pretty nice. It's mostly non-intrusive so if you want to ignore it, you can. It adds neat things like falling stars, the bosses are all summoned at-will and are surprisingly fun to fight (especially if you build an arena), and being able to make your own custom spells is amazing. You can string together effects and modes to make a spell that blasts enemies back from you and regenerates you at the same time, or throw a solid explosive beam at enemies, or chain lightning between them, or create a healing patch on the ground for you and your teammates, and on and on. Amazing stuff. The only downside is the unlocking of spell types and effects is limited by your spell level, and leveling up becomes an insane grind by the time you're even at level 30. I haven't really found a way to handle that.

I'm using the never stop toasting modpack and I am having great difficulty crafting stuff. It seems that certain items replace others which makes traversing the various wikis quite difficult. For example, I have no idea how to craft a machine block or make machines at all. I managed to craft a rolling machine but can't figure out how to craft anything that can make power. I have like 6-7 different version of tin and copper but none of the recipes seem to work with any of them.

The custom modpack I've been running on my lab's server ("Mine Boggling") is almost ready to be released. As I mentioned earlier I've been spending a lot of time on it, aiming for something with slightly more "polished" feel than what I've seen in other packs, with less overlapping functionality between mods, with a lot of things to explore, and with a balance which encourages long-term collaborative efforts between players and massive industrial projects. Some of the mods included don't normally work very well with each other or are a bit buggy, but through a lot of tweaks I've been able to make things work (I've even gotten galacticraft to not be broken!). I use the Lost Books mod to make mobs drop in-game documentation books about the more obscure or difficult to understand mods (along with some mineworkers' folk songs). The players have been having a lot of fun with it and a talented pixel-artist friend even made some custom art for some of the worst looking mods (Project Zulu, Galacticraft), and he also made a TON of awesome paintings which I added to the vanilla ones. Here's the technic splash image he made for it:  This is the latest (and probably final) list of mods: Flagship Mods - Mystcraft - Thaumcraft + Thaumic Tinkerer - Witchery - Galacticraft - Twilight Forest - Railcraft - Thermal Expansion (only some machines, and no itemducts) + Redstone Arsenal - Factorization - Ships Mod (like Archimede's ships, but you can walk on the ships while they move!) - Biomes O Plenty + Alternate Terrain Generation - Atomic Science + ICBM - Growthcraft - Hardcore Ender Expansion - Modular Powersuits Exploration/Essential/etc Mods Darwin (genetics and selective breeding to create custom mobs), Better Grass and Leaves, Treecapitator, Grimoire of Gaia (only the monsters that are NOT anime girls), Not Enough Items, Baby Animals, Damage Indicators, Artifacts, Battle Towers, Better Storage, Dimensional Doors (dungeons only), Bibliocraft + Bibliowoods, Chisel, CraftGuide, CraftHeraldry, Custom Codex, Custom Chest Loot, Chicken Shed, Deadly World, DungeonPack, Dynamic Lights, Paintings++ and Paintings Selection GUI, Hamsters, Lava Monsters, Special Mobs, Lost Books, Mob Properties, More Nature, Mutant Creatures, Player Heads, Portal Gun, Project Zulu, Red Logic, Redstone in Motion, Roguelike Dungeons, Statues, Balkon's WeaponMod, Wireless Redstone, Minetweaker (LOTS of tweaks), Mob Spawn Controls, Thaumcraft Mob Aspects The one mod I really wish someone would make now, is one that simply either removes sea villages, or add a wooden platform for them to float on.

So turns out there's the single player stuff that gets saved as part of the level.dat which overwrites the Player.dat in the Player folder. And since it's thrown in the middle of everything else I couldn't figure out how to copy my stuff in there instead of his. We loaded it up on his computer again, tossed all our poo poo in chests, and made a fresh copy of the save to toss on my computer. I logged into the world where he logged off and with his exp bar, and he logged on in the same spot with his old exp bar. Here's hoping they either changed this poo poo to be easier to mess with in 1.7 or will do so soon (this modpack is on 1.5 something) because we might be throwing it back to his computer at some point :/ But for now, blocks!

So most of my modpack stuff seems to be working so far, but when I go through NEI's item lists I end up with this on one page: I'm not sure what's causing it and it crashed for a while after leaving it like that. Any idea what would cause this? EDIT: The NEI interface goes completely invisible, but still functions, just to be clear. EDIT 2: It only happens on page 5 of the items. Nothing else.

Well I'd say it's actually because I enjoy building large complicated automation systems way too much. I really enjoy building complex railcraft networks with other players and having carts zip around automated factories, but mods such as AE and TE itemducts are so much more cheap and compact that it makes using anything else pointless I understand this is a minority opinion, though, and that on less powerful servers the performance savings from AE are very important.

Well, you could use golems or a Sorting Tree for keeping your chests sorted, and Routers or golems can work for inserting things automatically into machines. I don't see a barrel mod or MFR or anything though so storing all your cobble would still be a pain.

McFrugal posted:Oh, I never tried using minecarts for item transport before. That's an interesting option. Can you make a sorting machine that way? If you mean sorting in the sense of shipping things to different places based on item type, the basic railcraft item loaders/unloaders let you apply filters to achieve that. There's also the factorization "parasieve" which can be combined with the "item shifter" in order to target both item types and specific inventory slots to take things in and out of. As for sorting in the sense of keeping things tidy within a single container, I can't think of anything in the pack other than the sorting tree that does that. Regarding barrels: factorization includes barrels for players' cobble storage needs.

A factory or system powered by railcraft (and maybe a few other mods) has this certain Rube Goldberg:ian charm to it that more compact and near-instant systems might lack, as satisfying though they might be to have running properly. With all the different mods goons in here run, I think it'd be silly trying to tell anyone they're "playing wrong" just because they prefer one over the other. Now, if we were the minecraftforum forums, on the other hand...
