Mzbundifund posted:T...there's five death quests? I am awful at minecraft and I only got to three. I have been ordering things from the supplier whenever I want and not particularly attempting to grind reputation, and I have 750 mission outlook. How does this even happen? It's really easy to get to -60 if you're just grinding the supplier on cooldown, then make no attempt to complete any quests. From there is just 9 deaths and you lose.

I added a friend to our group after we were a few hours in, and he was sitting in the corner quietly with a quest book, I assumed just reading it, then he said "hey wow I can just keep completing these quests" I stopped him just in time, another 30 seconds and he probably would have made us lose hahaha, he used like 250 reputation in a less than a minute

I know dropping stuff from an open crate with a redstone signal on it stops flowers from picking them up for about ten seconds, but is there any way to selectively delay the pickup? Rannucarpus can't plant crops. A dispenser can, however. (botania specific feature to vanilla dispensers) Typically how you automate that is with the corporea network and a lot of funnels. However, if you haven't been to the End yet, you can't do this.

Come to think of it, I only really knew about reputation from reading up on HQM editing and putting together the book for BFSR. I chose not to use it because I wanted to shove the next components they needed for proceeding under their noses as quest rewards. I don't know if HQM really set up the reputation system to work that way or not. The fact that requesting stuff is a "quest" is confusing in itself, but HQM isn't giving an alternative.

I made a decent amount of progress on a new blightfall world, added a couple people to my party, and now a bunch of quests are just... gone. Every scout quest has disappeared except ore caches, over half the geologist quests are gone, the colonist quests are gone, etc. Even several quests that I had completed have disappeared. Using /hqm edit even didn't reveal them. Is there some file I can delete and replace to reset our progress and then just cheat it back with the book?

I guess you could wipe out players.dat in the world file and restart the server. This wipes all quest progress for everyone, though, if that's a problem. This happens I believe if you join a party of someone who's registered for a different biodome than you. If you set up quests to show up if you've completed one of a group of quests and the others you haven't completed are supposed to be invisible, it bugs out if you're marked as completing two of them and won't let you continue. If this is the case, you might want to wipe one of your customnpc player files, too, since the player in question will be marked as belonging to their biodome in customnpc's too. This isn't a huge deal (if they get to the correct biodome, it will be available as a teleport location and so will their "original" one) but if it bothers you & you want to make them go manually grab their original biodome, you'll wanna wipe out their player file in customnpc's. Luckily it's not in one giant heap of bytes because customnpc's is not a catastrophe.

Anyone have any idea how much mana a gourymallis will produce from a loaf of toast? I'm curious whether the RF output from a tree farm or a wheat farm (of equal size) would be better - you could do golem harvest and gather, autocraft it with a mortar and pestle, then smelt it twice in an infernal furnace before feeding it to a gourymallis. Alternately you could have a barley field powering victus for a breeding lamp with a butcher golem, feed the steak to a furnace, feed gourymallis with steak. For the extremely ambitious, automate olive oil production and the super steak meal that's like 7 pips of hunger. This would probably be the best food based power production if harvestcraft trees are compatible with golems Magres fucked around with this message at 21:18 on Aug 24, 2015 |

Is it possible to build a mob farm in Blightfall? I haven't seen a hostile mob spawn once since I've started, even in dark areas clear of taint. e: and if not how am I supposed to get poo poo like spider eyes and ender pearls? Just request random mobs until I get lucky, and repeat until I have enough? That seems like a lot of reputation. Steelion fucked around with this message at 21:25 on Aug 24, 2015 |

Does the Gourmaryllis suffer from Spice of Life  Glory of Arioch posted:one of the gimmicks of botania is that none of the numbers are supposed to be available, so this is pretty hard to answer without digging through the botania source code SOURCE CODE DIGGING INCOMING Gourmaryllis' produce mana equal to the square of the half-ham hocks they eat, times 64. So a four ham-hock food earns 4096 mana, (eight half-ham hocks = 8^2x64 = 4096) each while a one half ham-hock cookie produces 1^2x64 = 64 mana. For comparison, a single Endoflame produces 30 mana per second, and produces mana for half as long as the usual cook time of the fuel it ate. So a piece of charcoal which normally burns for 1600 ticks, would burn for 800 ticks, and produce 1200 mana. 20 ticks per second, 800 ticks, 30 mana per second, = 40 seconds = 1200 mana. So yes, a properly fed Gourmaryllis is immensely more profitable than an endoflame, at the cost of being somewhat trickier to automate without wasting food. I recommend an automagy magical hourglass to get your drop times precise. For comparison, a Kekimurus produces 1800 mana per cake slice, so one cake produces 10,800 mana. Could be easier to manage, especially if you have an MFR rancher for auto-milking and a collection of chickens near a hopperhock.

I even already have two cows, I could totally do this with that breeding plant and a wheat farm (lord knows the wheat would go a long way). I need to figure out how vanilla comparators work though. Vanilla redstone mechanics and movement confuses the hell out of me.  (edit) Then again, it'll take an awful lot of cows to get the same throughput as my baked potatoes...

Nothing's wrong, unless you consider thaumcraft tainted mob mechanics to be wrong. Tainted mobs don't despawn easily, and since they don't die out during the day, they tend to fill up all the hostile mob slots in an area and never leave space for vanilla stuff. In order to see vanilla stuff you have to clean out an area big enough to both have valid spawning terrain the appropriate number of blocks from you, be unlit, not be in a tainted land biome, and have there be available spawn slots for hostile mobs. Passive mobs have a different cap, so that's why you see friendly animals showing up.

Ciaphas posted:Glory of Arioch or other botania experts I'm dumb and need your help You're missing the static signal strength 15 lead going into the side of the comparator. Without that, the eye will output a signal when there are any animals nearby. When you give a comparator a signal on its side, it tells it to compare what's being generated by the back to the side, and to only output when the back signal is greater than or equal to the side signal. By giving it a full strength signal (use a torch and one piece of dust between them; torches only give indirect power) you make it so the signal only occurs when there are 16 or more animals. The way your lead is going out of the torch might be incorrect, too. Make sure it's a straight lead pointing directly into the flower, no bends. You can also use a repeater with the business end pointed at the flower, or even put a piece of dirt on top of that torch, then plant the dreadthorne on top of that. (redstone torches power blocks strongly above them)

Steelion posted:Something must be wrong then, otherwise I'd by up to my armpits in poo poo. Almost everything outside the dome looks like this, and the only light sources are ethereal blooms or otherwise glowing things: You haven't cleared a big enough area. Bats spawn in cleared out dark underground areas, which then fly around in the taint and turn into thaumslimes, which hog the mob slots. You will on rare occasion get some hostile mobs, but they tend to just spawn underground since there's more area there to spawn. Tainted creepers will also be created then, which hog the mob slots too! You have to clear out a fairly large area AND kill all the tainted animals near you on the surface. It helps to clear out the taintacles and swarmers too, but I think taintacles will spawn randomly on their own, and swarmers will pop up again in large enough piles of crusted taint after a while of there being none there. The quickest way to get hostile mob drops is to find spawners. Dungeons or burial mounds (I know there's at least one in the world) for zombies and skeletons, mineshafts for cave spiders, Sinister nodes for furious zombies (brains and rotten flesh galore).

So basically I have to kill all the tainted critters, track down the slimes that are clogging the caves (which I need to find first) and then keep all the passive mobs e: and bats  )that spawn in the cleared ground (using a different cap) from wandering off and turning into more tainted critters. Welp. e: rotten flesh and bones aren't the things I want more of, really I just want endermen (and blazes, but christ I'm not looking forward to trying to clear off the volcano.)

You don't actually need to kill endermen to get ender pearls.

It being enclosed also makes it safe and the grass being isolated means the chances of an animal getting tainted by accident and eating your other animals is really, really low. Did you just live with those blood splotches or did you find a way to destroy them? You can't place blocks on them, pickaxes don't seem to do anything, and my excavation focus just goes right through the dang things. Are they indestructible?
