Reason posted:Anyone have anything good to say about galacticraft? I played through babys first space race and it was fun to work up to a rocket and flying to the moon and then the minecraft moon was just a super boring nothing almost and I was a little disappointed. Am I missing something? I have some bad news for you. The moon... is pretty much that boring. There are holes in the ground where you can jump in and kill a giant skeleton boss. This gives you plans to build better rockets or a moon buggy; who knows until you kill the boss. As I understood it, Galacticraft's author's GLORIOUS VISION has become more preoccupied with creating all these landscapes than the technology. You'd think then that maybe it would be more interesting. But I guess in an adderall-induced fit, you just get more vacuous planets and moons. The main reason that the rocket is the focus of the pack is it provides some concrete goal to achieve beyond "making machines to make machines for making machines that make machines . . ." . . . not that there is anything wrong with that. That's another reason I couldn't figure out a magic-themed tutorial pack. What's the end goal? Baby's First Eldritch Abomination? Actually . . .

Quick blightfall specific tip! There's a good node for cV under the swamp delta island closest to the warp island, at 659, 982, 43. You can see it from the shore with a pair of goggles It's a ~45 messis node, and gives 5 cV. I don't know how good that is in the long run, but it's a million times better than boating around, that's for sure.

Is there a blightfall-specific list of poo poo to scan? I can't do pretty much any research because a shitload of stuff is all question marks so i can't connect research nodes, and i can't scan most of the essentia bottles i got from under the waterfall because i don't know the mystery of animals or whatever the loving bullshit text that scrolls by said. god this is just the most tedious loving mod i've ever encountered like how do i skip all the ~my vision~ filler because seriously at this point i am literally just taking my chances and scouting rather than deal with it anymore. why can't it be actually good, like botania. speaking of, how do i make floral fertilizer? there's no recipe in NEI for it.

Edminster posted:Is there a blightfall-specific list of poo poo to scan? I sort of followed this guide, though I had to substitute some things based on what was available, like doing alternate part for the potion, making spiritus myself instead of scanning soul sand (you don't really need to scan vinculum right away), and using raw meat instead of zombie flesh and making humanus myself in the research table. Here's a nice list of aspect sources that I like to use, so you can find alternative things to scan for each aspect on there.

Also, all the Waypoint Areas with the teleporters have at least one node close to them, like about 20 - 30 blocks away max or something (afaik). You just gotta wear the Goggles of Revealing, otherwise yeah it might seem like a bitch to do.

There's a recipe for it in the lexica botanica. Since you have to translate that, it's a spoiler to post it: it's actually the same recipe as normal- it's just unusual because floral fertilizer will only produce the flower colors that were used to make it in Blightfall As far as research it sounds like you're not really having any fun so I'd really suggest going to the top deck of the jaded, heading down the hall toward the observation deck, and breaking through the door on the right. You'll need someone with op to give you nether tungsten ore. If you're in SSP, open to lan with cheats enabled so you can give yourself one.

I think 1 CV = .01 recharge per tick, and 20 ticks = 1 second, so that means 5 gives you about 1 of every element a second?

I looted my node from the eerie island. I think the wand recharge table maxes out at 5 CV, so any more is just useful for running the infernal furnace too at the same time I guess idk.

Yeah, I found a huge rear end terra node and dragged it home, thinking it would speedily recharge my wand with its 9 CV, but I never see it recharge any faster than 0.05/tick.

I've only been able to split beams, never combine them. Admittedly I've never tried since there's really not many things you need CV laser beams for, but if you could that would make setting up potentially a lot easier in some situations. Finding a combined-aspect node can be a real pain sometimes.

You can't combine beams. Destinations can only accept CV from one source at a time.

If you make the vis storage amulet that holds 250 vis, it also has the passive benefit of drawing directly from your energized nodes if they or a relay are in range.

Blightfall question. I've gotten far enough through the Geologist's tree to unlock the Ore Caches, but they don't seem to exist. I go to the place indicated by the quest, dig down, and find a cave that doesn't seem to have any more tech metal than any other cave. Which is to say I haven't found any so far. I know I'm in the right place because the quests are marked as complete. Am I not digging far enough?

So uh... (question re: glacier spoiler)what's the loot list for the scary rear end dude with the staff that spits blue orbs? i took out the other two fine but i panicked and lava'd him so all the loot went sizzle.30.5 Days posted:As far as research it sounds like you're not really having any fun so I'd really suggest going to the top deck of the jaded, heading down the hall toward the observation deck, and breaking through the door on the right.

Alright cool, I'll check that when I get back from the Glacier. Honestly I'm grumpy that it's so goddamned obtuse; if the Thaumonomicon was laid out like the Botania guide or at least told you what everything is gated behind I think I'd be doing just fine.

People seem interested in node bullying, as the internet calls it, so here's the low down: Node bullying occurs between any nodes that are within 5 squares of each other (ie 4 air blocks between them) The bigger node will eat smaller nodes within range, size is determined by the sum of all aspects of a node. Bullying speed scales inversely with distance When a node rips a point off another node, the chance of the bully gaining a point is equal to 1/X, where X is the bully's current value of that aspect (for this reason, going past like fifty in an aspect takes a REALLY long time) What determines whether the smaller node will actually lose a point off its max value or not is unclear. My own testing has shown that it's not guaranteed to lose a point regardless of whether the bully gains a point or not. Finally, wrt centivis, bright nodes give 20% more and pale nodes give 20% less. With all that in mind, if you want an ultra node (12 omni), your best bet is to bottle bright nodes until one stays bright when you bottle it, then bottle another 8 nodes of all kinds. Dig a 9x9x9 room, put the future omni node in the center, and feed it smaller nodes from the corners until it's bigger than all the other nodes. If your bright is really small, drain some nodes down to size before bottling them so they're small enough meals for your bright node. Keep in mind that a bright with 50 in everything will spit out 8 or 9 cv, and will take a quarter as long to make as a node with 100+ in everything. A 50 will take like a day to make, a 100 will take several. Imo it's not worth doing for practical reasons, but can be fun to do just to have the biggest, baddest node there is.

Euclidaisy from the Apocrypha tab will spit out random wispy essences, heavily weighed toward Auram. Make a Euclidaisy or two, feed them a full mana pool, and you'll have a stack or two of Auram phials by the time you're done breaking down all the wispy essences. You'll want lots of the stuff if you want to run a fully armed and operational Dawn Machine, or if you want to use the AE2 stuff that stores essentia Magres fucked around with this message at 01:28 on Aug 28, 2015 |

Yeah, I don't think it was node bullying or anything that destroyed the node I mentioned earlier. I'll post a screenshot when I get home but it looks like the node in the tree had actually exploded and destroyed most of the trunk or something. It was also like 15 blocks away from the transducer while it was running, and that was inside my house which was completely untouched.

Well i got banned from the playtppi IRC channel for suggesting to the modpack maker that yelling at people and calling them stupid because they couldn't find an NEI recipe for titanium maybe is the wrong way to go about it. Good to see modding is still a shitfest. This was after the poor guy mentioned that all he was finding was the fun titanium dust smelts to titanium, titanium dust comes from titanium ingots thing NEI likes to do.
