I am working on a mod of my own which i want to put into my modpack I have assembled. ( http://www.technicpack.net/modpack/details/morepower.360693 ) Whilst running a beta test server at morepower.minuet-uk.com but I want to get this faction management mod done, I have the concept there, and the blocks, I need to however work out how to do a gui and tileEntity which i have never done before. The concept: You make a Management Block (worth 100 influence) inside every minecraft day it makes an extension block (1 influence) you can put 9 extension blocks in a crafting table and get a double influence block (9 influence) You can do this up to 10 times compression. If you have the most influence in a Chunk then you can do anything. if not all you can do is place extension blocks and they have to be connected to a chunk you control. meaning that faction claims work like Risk. you can extend your area or just fill your main chunk with 10 times extension blocks.

TheresaJayne posted:you can put 9 extension blocks in a crafting table and get a double influence block (9 influence) 10 compression is absolutely overkill. Consider the enormous amount of time it takes to make the octuple compressed cobblestone in Agrarian Skies. Especially if you're getting one block a day per chunk. Besides, you want faction dominance to be overt and obvious, i.e. there should be shitloads of obvious blocks. Or make it so they only work if they're exposed to the sky or something so that defending them is hard. Otherwise there's nothing stopping people just hiding a bunch of 5x blocks walled up behind smooth stone and having them never be discovered.

Falcon2001 posted:So I'm realizing that building an addon that modifies or interacts with another mod is probably more difficult than I was originally imagining. Instead, I'm going to try and make an estus flask style item that is basically just a refillable, upgradable health potion. Hurray!. It depends on what you're trying to do. Some mods, like AE2 and TE, offer an IMC API which is generally very easy to deal with. Plug in your data and send it off, so it's easy to do things like add AE2 grinder and TE furnace recipes. Deeper integration? Yeah, that's more difficult, especially if you don't want a hard dependency on the other mod. At that point you're going to have to do some heavy lifting via reflection.

I was thinking of making that a point, you see a couple blocks and think "I will raid them" and they have 10 layers at bedrock of 10X extensions of course they can take them up and move them if needed.... otherwise you are limited to 16x16 max blocks for claiming the other point is that you wouldnt put them all in the same chunk, you would spread out over time, maybe one block a minecraft day is too few, could make it a stack a day... 64 influence per day how does that sound....

Is it just me, or does Modderation run considerably more slowly than NST Maxx despite having about half the mods? Is it just 1.7 being a pain, or is Botania the new Millenaire or something? I can't see it being my computer that's the bottleneck, it runs Maxx like a dream.

On the face of it I would expect large Botania systems to be much laggier than other power systems, but I'm not speaking from evidence.

Dux Supremus posted:Yeah, sure. (1) Takes an input from either of two illumar buttons and lengthens it before sending it to (2) that passes it to the underside of the carriage engine to lift the door for 3 seconds and (3) which takes the signal and sits on it for 7 seconds then passes it to (4) which pushes the door down for 3 seconds. I think the door can be made a block shorter but to cover the door frame would mean using a torch on the bottom of the carriage with a panel, which would make it trickier. Hmm I followed the instructions to the letter but I guess my door is just too different from yours? Mines 4 high and it doesn't go back down again. I might just figure out some hackneyed job with pistons that pushes a redstone block onto the top/bottom of the carriage for x seconds to open/close it.

Update on high-temperature furnace carnage: We found out we can use wood planks at the same efficiency of logs, so everything takes a trip through a cyclic assembler before getting burned. With that, we started to accumulate power in the furnace.

Yeah, actually, doing it to me too- I mean, I've always been a slight bit laggy, but Maxx was mostly smooth and Modderation is kinda.. Janky at ties. But, it still runs fine, so. Just an odd little quirk.

Dux Supremus posted:Dunno, something like that should work. Best bet is to play around with a setup to get a feel for how it works until it does really. I built one in miniature to get a clue as to how this stuff worked myself. I like the way that build looks by the way. Good nuance. I tried the whole piston thing and there was no circuit that would just emit a signal for x seconds after it received one. Turns out the pulse lengthener does exactly that  I'll just figure out what all that jargon means and hook something up.

Finally starting to play around with it some. I built a system involving an open blocks fan and a mana spreader in close proximity, and the fan causes the mana bolt to arc. So Botania particles do interact with non-Botania physics entities, which I was a little surprised by. Also, I have a nicely Rube Goldbergian mana farm setup, I'll post some screenshots later.

Ok, here's my Endoflame mana farm setup. Worth noting is that so far this playthrough, I've completely foresaken all automining and even (so far) auto processing. Every stack of ore I've been dropping off in the feed chest for my single smelter / pulverizer / etc. myself. I have some magical crops setup but I've barely touched them except for Thaumcraft shard farming and ender pearls. So this design is partially driven by still being in a state of resource scarcity.  At the head of the assembly, 3 droppers full of coal are attached to a timer. The hoppers are supplied by a chest exporting charcoal one piece at a time via itemduct in round robin mode. The chest is supplied by an export bus. The droppers drop in front of an openblocks fan, which blows them forward across the endoflame farm conveyor style. The charcoal drops slide down the farm, until a hungry endoflame flower consumes them. If no flowers are hungry, they reach the tail assembly where an openblocks vacuum hopper sucks them back up and returns them to the AE system for recycling. I don't really have a sense of scale for Botania yet but the amount of mana this generates seems to be a shitload more than when I was running dayblooms. metasynthetic fucked around with this message at 16:36 on Aug 13, 2014 |

Okay, I had no idea fans interacted with the mana bursts. That's... surprising and kinda awesome and that curved burst looks pretty cool. Actually, your whole setup is cooler looking than mine, which is pretty much purely functional right now but eh I hate fighting with fans and such. Dayblooms are TERRIBLE. Someone in the MCF thread used some NBT editing magic to find out some values and dayblooms basically generate mana about once a second, while Endoflames generate mana (a small amount) continuously every tick for the 40 seconds it burns a single piece of coal/charcoal. So, yeah, endoflames totally stomp dayblooms into nothingness. All the other "consumes stuff" generating flowers are even stronger but definitely require a lot more work to setup and particularly to automate. Up at the top is definitely thermalilies but lava can be a pain if you don't have Blood Magic to abuse. But stuff like the entropinnyum and the kekimarus and so on can definitely all generate pretty massive amounts of mana you can use. And trust me, when you get up to the top tier and you're playing around with mana enchanting, orechids, terrasteel, and so on, you'll definitely need a LOT of mana.

My mana farm on the Luddite server is six potato fields stacked on top of each other. Golems harvest the potatoes, drop them into hoppers and open crates that drop the potato load down to the bottom level, where they go into an Infernal Furnace to be cooked. From there filler golems put the baked potatoes into five droppers on a three-second timer that feed gourmaryllis flowers. There's also one of those exp-to-mana flowers to consume the exp created by cooking the taters.

Regarding MystCraft, using that mod on a server with independent players would probably get you murdered. A friend and I are playing around with it fine on our own server, but we're age hopping together. That initial burst when you enter a new age is particularly bad because the server has to do a bunch of up-front terrain generation.

The best use of Mystcraft on servers is for the admin to set up a specific world(s) for people to use. One for mining, maybe one with an endless lava ocean, whatever the players need. It keeps the dimensions from spiralling out of control and still lets you set up things like linking books for travel.

Mystcraft is entirely too hard on servers to allow it to be used as it sits, and by the time you've locked it down to where it's not going to kill the server, it's pretty much useless to anyone but ops. Mystcraft is great in single player. I don't make packs with single-player-only in mind.

I'm still playing 1.6 so I don't have the newer Botania options available, and for the life of me I could not figure out how to get Thermalilies to even work. Couldn't find any tutorials showing their use either. If I plant them on top of dirt adjacent to lava nothing seems to happen, putting them directly next to it and they fry like any other flower. Am I missing something or do they just not work in the last 1.6 version?

Mystcraft is great in single player. Yeah, dropping the mod in the pack for single player is super easy; I exclusively play single player and keep a little folder with extra mods and custom configs I plunk down in the NST packs whenever there's an update. Easy as pie. Also, going to ask again since I spent some time troubleshooting without success: in Moderation, I can't get NEI to let me search for items by stuff in their tooltips. I really like being able to type "thermal" and get all thermal expansion mods, like I can in the NST series of packs. I tried messing with WALIA as Threep suggested, but that didn't seem to help at all. Anyone know how I can get the 1.7.1 version of NEI to let me include tooltips in the search bar results?

I know for at least the 1.7.2 version Fondue's server is running, that anything on the tooltip besides the mod's name will come up with the search just fine. If you're searching by mod name, it's @mod.mod'sname.

I know, we're terrible, evil people. But thermalilies aren't just for blood mages! I've gone through quite a bit of effort to automate a thermalily setup on Progress, and I've succeeded! It's not quite as elegant as a Blood magic setup is, but it works fairly well.
