Agreed, Thaumcraft is a pain to get into, but unlike Gregtech it's not a pain in the name of balance drudgery (ok maybe a little bit), it's a pain in the name of theme and style. It's SO stylish, but I just wish its applicable things like the equivalent exchange wand were easier to get without going hours deep into the thing.

Thaumcraft and Botania intertwine nicely and are my go to pair of "magical mods" when im feeling low-tech. Speaking of, is there a good updated list of all the crazy addons to Thaumcraft?

Depends on your personal taste and tolerance for varying quality (most addons are not as polished as Thaumcraft itself), but the only one I really like is Automagy. It's really well designed, meshes with the base mod well, and offers a lot of genuinely useful features that aren't just single-block power enhancers.

Hey, Rocko B. I think one of the Bear Grylls quests in BFSR is broken. The one where it tells you to made a stone rod to make torches can't be completed using the directions provided - two stone/cobblestone makes a TC stone tool rod, not a Microblocks stone rod. You can still make a torch out of it but it doesn't complete the quest.

Liquid boiler's great, the hourglass would be really neat if not for botania, and the one annoying thing is that a lot of the items are really materials-heavy to make. I've never liked golems, but if you like those little guys the workbench is apparently really good. Some of the redstone stuff is useful if you're using a magic-themed pack or aren't using any of the myriad better redstone options. If you're using AE2, you absolutely need the thaumic integration mod, because digital jars make thaumcraft so much more fun, even if it is frustratingly buggy for some edge cases (in blightfall).

So I had previously just kind of banged my head on it. I don't know if I technically fixed it, but I think I can be sure now. I'm planning to upload a new version this weekend since I have a few cumulative quest book fixes.

Automagy promises me something really cool(AE with magic! whoo!) and reveals a thaumonomicon page full of research on how to output redstone on the number of items in a series of chests which I can't possibly think of a use for except as a research requirement for another building block of fringe use before you can get one part of a dozen parts needed for the magical AE system maybe I'm just a boring guy, but the floating brains are just not doing it for me enough when I know the blue one for essentia is essentially useless when we have mirrors? The Technomancy essentia coils are also less useful but look so drat cool I can't resist 'em

Blind Duke posted:Automagy promises me something really cool(AE with magic! whoo!) and reveals ... floating brains You're not wrong about the Inventarium. It's pretty tedious to do anything serious with it. I just like Automagy's redstone features, really. Has anyone in here ever done anything non-trivial with OpenComputers? I just finally took a serious look at it, and I'm really impressed by the detail and care that went into making a Minecraftian flavor of how computers actually work. Then I started poking around for YouTubes or any evidence of the creative possibilities hinted at by the manual, and I found ... a robot mining an 8x8 square. And a Big Reactor control program. (Okay the latter is pretty cool but surely someone has done something neat with drones and robots and ???)

That's pretty neat. You happen to still have the code? Seems ComputerCraft is more popular, but I really like the way you build computers from individual components in OpenComputers.

But it was a neat little project at the time. Nowadays I'm sure you could do it much simpler with AE2.

Interesting. I haven't actually used the mod in a survival world yet, so I'm curious what I'll think of it when I do. I really, really dislike super-deep crafting trees because it mostly just adds tedium when it comes down to it.

Oh, no need to do that. Hit E, hit Options, then inventory, then the W next to 'Item Mode' and click until it says "Cheat Mode", then just find the item in NEI and left click for a stack and right click for a single item. To go back, select item mode again. You only need to go into lan mode to use the slash commands like /keepinventory true.

If you change GLOBAL to cheat mode but have the world use its own setting rather than the global ones you can't cheat anything in. But if you switch WORLD to cheat mode or have it run on GLOBAL and have cheat mode on there you can cheat stuff in.

Ok i need to try this. ive always opened lan with cheats the used /give. which for witchery does absolutely loving nothing as you cant get the id's. I ended up setting world to peaceful to get past the portal in the nether. The i got lost. The i built a portal in the nether to get out. Then i got lost. Regrowth needs a map like blightfall.

My little scheme of using an RFTools dimension for a start tutorial dimension in BFSR has been further thwarted. I set up a dimension through RFTools' creative dimension builder, went in, doodled a bit, and saved. I then tried to move that save over as my template for the Lockdown mod. I deleted all the DIM folders except DIM2. When I started up a new game, it sure does fart around, but I just wind up in the overworld. First, is dimension #2 what I want? Maybe I am blowing that. If so, how is this supposed to work? I want the player to start in my dimension, and then eventually have them shuffle off to the overworld.

TheresaJayne posted:You could make your custom dimension overworld and then move to a custom dimension that is treated as Overworld, It seems like it'd be easier/safer/less likely to horribly conflict with other mods to find a way to force players to spawn in the overworld and immediately teleport to the tutorial dimension. Alternatively, if you don't mind having a nonrandom overworld, you can start the player in a bedrock box with a few signs telling the person what's up and a portal to whichever dimension (for an example of this, boot up the mod Banished)

I was about to say my next plan was going to be trying to even teleport to dimension 2 and then maybe set that up. It looks like the whole thing is just messed up. When I do /rftdim list, dimension 2 isn't even there. I'm assuming something is choking in Lockdown. Or rather, me just deleting the DIM folders from the save I put in the Lockdown template was inadequate. How does one properly delete dimensions? Like, how would I delete the overworld to have it regenerate normally?

I'm going to run a small minecraft server (on an actual server no less!) for an after school club. We're going to go into modding a bit, but the last time I did that was when Bukkit was a big thing. Now I'm seeing Forge mentioned everywhere but I've been out of the loop. What's the best thing to get setup on this server for students to tinker with and me to be able to install more popular stuff? I really liked I think technic a while back, but I see it has it's own launcher. Solar panels and that macerator thing were fun. Any tips? Thanks.

Hey, I know this might not be the right thread for it but this is the only minecraft thread I could find. For the console update is it normal if certain updates won't load in an old file? Example rabbits, new biomes and certain kinds of flowers. I'm curious if I have to make a new file to access those. Sorry if this is a pain in the rear end.

So far it's running fine. Textures are really good with minimum lag. My problem is I think certain updates don't pertain to old files I haven't found a single rabbit and i suspect I won't be finding any new biomes or ocean monuments either.

I've got the components of Babby's First ME Network setup, but now I need to power it. After my aborted attempts before finding the Vibration Chamber that could power my Crystal Growth Accelerators, I'm a little dubious about this. And it doesn't help that the generators I'm seeing all have caveats about blowing up. Is there a simple, efficient-ish generator that I can use to power my ME network? The Vibration Chamber eats insane amounts of fuel, too.
