Unlocking all the research in creative mode and using the commands for temp and perm warp leaves me taking various warp effects still There are three kinds of warp, not two. So you have to run all three sets of commands. /tc warp Serifina set 0 /tc warp Serifina set 0 temp /tc warp Serifina set 0 perm That clears it all.

I thought not specifying would default to temporary warp what the hell is the default, sticky for some ungodly reason?

Huh, looks like crystals in the 1.8 version of Thaumcraft are going to be a bit different than in previous versions.  Models are still a work in progress. Enzer fucked around with this message at 07:42 on Oct 2, 2015 |

I like the idea of crystals growing on surfaces a lot more than them just being another ore, and it means that you'll only really find them in caves, abandoned mines, and chasms, which is interesting and makes shard hunting different than "go strip mine the world"

wasn't a picture posted of the taint being changed a bit in the new version, too? it'll be interesting if trees aren't mulched by the taint. i'd like to see it in blightfall, honestly, because having entire forests start degrading the second you load the chunk is pretty dumb.

He has some interesting comments on this as there is no longer like a "tainted dirt" or "tainted stone" block as of right now, everything tainted eventually turns into a new generic tainted block that effectively turns to dust if you try to remove the taint if it gets that bad.  Azanor posted:The TC5 incarnation of taint harkens back to the TC2 version. It is virulent and if properly fed it spreads very aggressively. What I mean by fed is as follows: If the flux level in the aura reaches sufficient amounts certain events occur - one of them is basically a tainted rain cloud like in the picture above which seeds flux goo puddles in an area. This however does use up some of the flux in the aura. The puddles have a good chance of leaving taint fibres behind once they evaporate. Things like the Etheral Bloom will still exist and will revert a tainted biome back to whatever it was on default worldgen, but it will not revert fully tainted blocks.  Honestly the taint in TC5 sounds pretty manageable with a decently serious consequence if you gently caress up to much and don't keep an eye on how far you let things get bad. Also in the first image, the water is all hosed up, that image was taken from a build where taint could convert water into flux goo, but Azanor backed off on the idea as it got out of hand way to fast and was a killer performance wise. Gotta say, I like the way the tainted trees are looking, it is a lot more interesting visually. Azanor is also apparently trying to get a Beta ready for this soon. Mzbundifund posted:I hope you can grow crystals, that would be super cool. Looks like you're in luck. Azanor posted:-Each crystal in a block is not on a 1-to-1 basis, but the more crystals there are, the more shards you will get. Enzer fucked around with this message at 08:07 on Oct 2, 2015 |

that new taint looks and sounds pretty neat, but it leaving areas a dusty wasteland could be worrying for something like blightfall. unless blightfall implements a lot of stuff to help you re-terraform areas.

Yeah I don't see TC5 working with a straight Blightfall setting at all since the blocks no longer keep track of what they used to be once fully tainted. It might be possible with a map that was made to have a high "natural" taint level across all chunks so that the weird taint rain and fibres are growing everywhere. You'd have to design the gameplay around duel objectives: 1) Acquiring some specific longterm goal across the map that as you progress dumps more taint into the world which starts the process of the taint becoming more and more self sufficient and 2) Keeping the taint under control while you do Objective 1 as too many chunks fully tainted (as it sounds like Azanor is letting most block be taintable this time around) could make your main objective impossible. Throw an optional third objective after the primary is done which is to completely clean up the world, or try to. Heck, if you had someone to make a companion mod, you could probably do something interesting with the fact that it leaves a wastland. A setup where the world is fully tainted, but oh you've dealt with this in the past, and try to go about reclaiming the world only to find out that the taint here is much much worse and thus have to figure out how to restore the world after cleansing the taint. It is doable, it would just require a lot of work and re-thinking, which might be honestly good for Blightfall to keep it from getting stale like the Material Energy maps did.

Make it a technological setting and have it so that between the surface being deadly, the underground is full of ruins and technology you can hook up. Basically, Star Wars: The Old Republic's Taris mixed with Fallout, sprinkled with death flowers.  Plus you could have neat points of interest, accidentally hooking up a reactor that starts leaking, but fixing it up gives you a working reactor? Exploring the dusty ruins of bookshops, looking for leather to scrape by? Using railway systems to travel quickly through the less-dangerous underground?

I do like the idea that taint will be more manageable, and that if it does pass a certain threshold and become self-sustaining, you can strategically go in and eliminate these specific structures. Kill the heart and the rest will wither. It's very much like how I wish clearing areas from mob spawns would work. Also liking that crystals will be available in variable amounts per block. But I seriously do not like the idea of him bringing back "Aura". TC4 benefited in so many ways from moving away from that system. I don't miss it. It was really hard to keep track of, it was nebulous, it was almost impossible to control, and it let things dry up. At least waiting for a node to recharge is a steady process, Aura was so obfuscated you might eventually just dry up an area and then that's it, you're finished forever.

Am I doing something wrong or is Skyfactory 2 specifically designed to be a mindnumbingly tedious grind? To make the most basic of things I have to place hundreds of cobblestone blocks, break them all with a hammer, sift the gravel then combine all the broken ore, place the resulting block, break the block, combine the result of that, place it, break it, then combine the result of that, place it, then break it, then smelt it all only to find I'm one ingot short and then repeat the entire process again. I have to be missing something here, surely?

It took me over six hours of constantly harvesting 21 trees with a crook to get three ingots to make a bucket with. It wouldn't have been so bad if it weren't for the staggeringly low droprates for things in sievs. Also, I was getting gently caress all saplings to compost. Half an hour seems absolutely impossible in the modpack I'm referring to (Skyfactory 2)

If it's anything like other skyblock maps, you need use dirt to make a cobblegen, instead of sifting it.

I installed this pack to take a look, and I agree with you... all you start with is one tree and a dirt block, no bone meal or watering can so you're at the mercy of the RNG for tree growth. This does not look like much fun...

This does not look like much fun... So, you're not entirely wrong, but there are a few mods that make things much easier. First, there's a mod that applies a bonemeal effect randomly to saplings around you when you either crouch or sprint, so mash Shift to grow trees. Second, VeinMiner lets you mine huge chunks of things in a single go. I think it's configured to work when you mine something with a tool and hold ~. This works with pretty much anything, and its definition of 'tool' is very broad so you can clear out leaves with a sapling in hand, for example. Placing all of the gravel/whatever blocks to hammer is still annoying but you can harvest them all in a single swing. Third, the clay bucket from I think Tinker's Construct makes getting an early cobble gen much simpler. You can use crafting tables for the structure. They look dumb, but they don't burn. Use your first 2 iron on shears and shear leaves for all the dirt you'll ever need. From there it's pretty quick and simple to automate the cobble -> dust chain + sifting with pulverizers/auto-hammers and the auto-sifter. It's still super grindy, but it's a skyblock so I repeat myself.

Sorry, I figured it was the same or a similar start to Agrarian Skies 2, which starts you with like two stacks of bonemeal, and I figured you were at the stage where you have a cobblegen

Regarding Skyblock maps, if you've done one before, you really should accelerate the early game. The entire focus of a skyblock is to work with minimal resources towards maximum automation, stepping over the dirt, wood, water and cobble limited steps isn't exactly getting you near the end!

New Botania Changelog posted:Changed the "no mana killzone" of the Dandelifeon from a 5x5 to a 7x7. To be honest, I really don't know where I'm going with this one. It's seeming to me like it's a failed experiment, as the optimal build always ends up being a really simple thing, which I'm not a big fan of. I'm just trying various things and seeing what sticks. I might end up removing it alltogether. TBH, Vazkii, you seem to have no idea how the game of life works if you're honestly surprised about this. Or Minecraft for that matter.

If I can bother you guys for some Thaumcraft help: I'm progressing through the research nicely, but it's the crafting that I have trouble with - I never seem to have the right vis for what I want to craft. Right now I'm just flying around using a jetpack, trying to find nodes and draining them with my crappy iron wand, looking for the right stuff to upgrade it to a crappy copper wand. I've seen a ton of guides on how to progress through the reasearch, but none on how to get the vis you want. Also, is there a way to drain the wand of vis or maybe place the appropriate vis in the arcane workbench? I have two wands but none have the combination of the vis I want to use. This mod is fun but can be frustrating.
