I'm just going to assume my instance of Artifice is at fault and just needs an update. In the Artifice configuration, I disabled the natural generation of Artifice stones. Instead, I had the CoFH ore generator create strata of them above sea level, as well as those basalt crusts around lava ponds. I don't have any of it in front of me, but I never got the impression from the language in the configuration that would disable using those materials for anything. I will probably update a bunch of the mods this weekend as a matter of course. I wanted to also potentially make some changes to CoFH for generation myself, but I have completely forgotten how to work with gradle correctly. So I have to start over on that. It was practically a month ago when I was doodling on that.

So I'm trying to get a decent mod setup and I'm having a weird problem. I tried this modpack called It's A Beautiful World and I wanted to turn off a mod or two in it, but "Disable" is in pink and it won't let me disable them. This is for mods that don't have child mods or anything seemingly relying on them. In fact, there's only one or two mods in the whole thing I even seem able to disable. What's going on here? I'm not big on building complex machines or anything. I mostly just want to explore and find interesting things like villages and ruins and stuff. It doesn't seem tremendously easy to find a pack that satisfies that without also having mods where I can build spaceships or adding unkillable alligators that sink into the ground.

How possible would it be to make a website that scrapes / is manually fed by the user modpack links and then compares packs for you? Like if I wanted to compare like an OMP kinda pack to a FTP launcher pack and see which mods they each are "missing" from each other, poo poo like that? If that's easily possible at all someone please steal this idea immediately. It would also be nice if you could just pick a mod and get all packs with it installed, or better yet a list of mods you want and then get the most relevant packs and what it has/doesn't have compared to your list. Version info would also be nice. I'd say custom config stuff too but that's probably pretty impossible to do non-manually.

I was going to update the mods for Baby's First Space Race this weekend, but I am have been having success rewriting the CoFH dungeon generator to create the Nether Outposts I wanted. I am now moving on to the molten ponds I was hoping to see too. So I am distracted with that. If this all pans out and my code goes upstream, I'd want to wait until the CoFH mods officially release. Otherwise, I'm posting dirty laundry that will confuse the poo poo out of KingLemming and Skyboy if somebody complains about it.

Sorry my feedback stopped Rocko, i always tend to hit a wall with MC when it comes to "Okay, gotta build a shitload of rooms to house all of this in.  " and then Age of Wonders 3 had its expansion happen.  If you push a new version and it requires (or you recommend) starting over, please post about it and ill pick it back up.

Fair point I'm a bit spoiled by things like JSTR Universal, I suppose.Not much chance of getting a Sphax pack for Progress or OMP-i or Modderation: Permabanned... maybe I can install textures for some popular kitchen-sink pack like RR3 and go from there, take off some of the burden. Never sure what modpack/goon server to play on nowadays. I don't even collaborate or chat all that much, you'd think I'd just play single player or something but for some reason I get bored faster that way.

Also Rocko, if/when you update Baby's First Space Race, please please go into the Nether Ores config and turn off hellfish/exploding ores/mining pisses off pigmen. Even as an experienced player I find all of those unfun, and hellfish can pretty much destroy any ability to go to the nether by bringing the computer/server to a crawl.

Hellfish should be off already. If they showed up, then I messed that up. I will look at what I can do without the pigmen if I can change the CoFH generation code to work in my favor without accidentally screwing it up for normal stuff. I was hoping I could get my Nether Outposts up, which should drop out blazes and wither skeletons. However, I do want to keep the exploding ore. It does cause a lot of chain explosions given the oregen rate I have, but I wanted to keep that little bit of danger for the extra ore doubling. It also has a tendency of popping out stuff I might not necessarily have the right tool level to harvest.

Anyways, I got to the moon today in BFSR, and I have a couple comments: 1. You might want to disable the vanilla oregen on the moon (and, presumably, other space dimensions); when I went there, it was choked with vanilla ores and finding any of the moon-specific stuff was pretty hard. 2. In the context of "this is a tutorial-ish modpack" you might want to have something in there where you have the player do something with the magma crucible (probably make redstone energy fluxducts/cells); if I was a new player figuring out these mods I imagine that'd be the big thing that trips me up because unlike everything else you have to gently caress with machinery in a way and can't shuffle outputs of one device to another manually - you have to either figure out ThermEx side configuration/how to configure the magma crucible or liquid transposer to fill/empty buckets/use fluiducts to connect machines directly to make them. If you did have them make redstone energy fluxducts/cells, a good followup would be showing that you can put leadstone/hardened fluxducts/cells into a pulverizer to recycle them. 3. If you add a 'postgame' that occurs after the moon quests are complete, some good ones would be: Making tesseracts to move things across dimensions, making a mekanism teleporter so you don't have to take a rocket every time, making a space station (possible followup: making a MFR laser drill), making an enderthermic pump and pumping lava.

I still have a high oven dingleberry in the quest book? I thought I took them all out. I was going back-and-forth about how far to go with stuff like the magma crucible. I can't remember if I kept redstone energy cells in there. IIRC hardened cells don't need to run through an infusion step, so they don't need destabilized redstone. I know at least at one point, I was just trying to dodge the whole thing as a distraction. Also I think you can create destabilized redstone in the smeltery now too, so that's another way to dodge a crucible. As for more advanced quests, I was probably going to stop roughly at the point of reaching the moon. The overall goal was to get people into technical packs, so that they could then feel at ease in the more complicated packs that otherwise provide no objectives. I had kind of just assumed that was obvious, so I'm surprised at how people are trying to build pretty bases and milk all the machines. I was thinking though of adding a chapter to do with teleportation and chunk loading, because they are two questions that usually come up together, and a naive newcomer would be completely unaware of chunk loading as a problem. I'll add a dimension restriction to constrain that oregen to the Overworld. That should take it out of the moon. I thought I had already done this, but I only superficially dug down into the moon when I was playing around with it. I feel like the moon should have something neat under it though as part of my whole idea of "crazy stupid resources." Would underground lakes of gelid cryotheum feel about right?

Eeeeeh, not unless you work in Big Reactors as a thing or show that you can use them with TE's ducts. Gelid Cryotheum is sort of a specialty "King of poo poo Mountain" resource; something for the rich to dick around with and eke out a few more percentage points of efficiency in their builds. It's not really used much in normal builds, especially for those you're building the modpack for. Maybe straight up diamond/emerald block deposits? Destabilized redstone pools?

Considering the modpack's guided portion currently stops dead as soon as you step foot on the moon's surface, I think it's fine having silly endgame materials like Gelid Cryotheum on it.

#ThermalExpansion has been quiet when I'm banging on stuff. Is everybody in Europe there or something? I looked into the CoFH lake generator a little bit, and I was wondering if somebody in the thread has actually toyed with terrain generators. The general problem I see is when checking blocks, sometimes the block will be in yet another chunk that hasn't been generated. So Minecraft will try to load the chunk, find it doesn't exist, then queue it up to be generated. This will then trigger the lake generator have a go on the new chunk, and so on and so forth. It could wind up >10km away before the call stack breaks down, as far as I can tell. All I can really think to do is coerce the generator to move generation inwards to chunks that are already generated, and just augment the existing terrain. I'm not entirely sure how to do that, but I assume that's what other mods do that are throwing in splashes of stuff.
