Does anyone know of a way to pull smelted items out of a furnace using Botania or Vanilla blocks that aren't hoppers? Apparently you can place corporea sparks on top of a furnace, but they don't do anything as far as allowing one to pull out the resulting smelted items.

Hot tip for Infinity, or any pack with both MFR and Tinker's Construct: You'll probably need lots of ender pearls. Many mods require them in bulk. Before you reach the End, this might be a problem. Instead of relying on ender lilies or whatever else you have on hand, spend your first 4 pearls and 1 ghast tear on a reusable safari net. Carry it with you (in a pack if necessary) and the next time you see an enderman, bag him instead of fighting him. Then release him into your smeltery, which should be at least 2 deep, to prevent him from jumping out. He'll take 8 hits before dying, and produce 1,000 mB of ender, which can be poured into a mold to make 4 pearls guaranteed per enderman -- and he may drop a fifth on death. A whole lot better than 0-1 per kill.

Nah, keep him in that ball and make an auto spawner and a grinder and use him to clone and murder infinite endermen. Get mob essence by making a cursed earth darkroom! Or you could clone them directly into the smeltery, too.

That's a good idea too but a bit further down the tech line, requiring MFR to be set up, and a division sigil to be found. I had particularly bad luck with that and only found one from the drop you get from killing the Wither.

Well for the mob essence part, instead of cursed earth you could also just move a normal spawner, build the rig around an existing one, or probably do something with animal breeding or normal vanilla mob producing dark rooms / villager rigs.

Can also set up a manual mob spawner 22 block high with water that drops them down. As for botania, can you craft the furnace on top of an open crate and it drops out?

Oh i meant for essence to drive an enderman spawner, though now that i think of it, you'd still need a grinder to get it. ok BFSR I got to the moon. Stood around for a dew minutes, nearly died of lack of oxygen. Whats next?

The water is just to push other mobs into a grinder to provide the essence to fuel the MFR Autospawner.

So what is the best way to help a 10 year old that wants to learn to mod Minecraft? I picked up O'Reilly's Minecraft Modding with Forge, but I'm not a coder and setting up Forge with Eclipse is just not working for me. I am looking for a way for us to do some things together, and we have already changed sounds and skins, so we are looking for something more. Of course he wants to get a fully functional WW2 mod going by the end of the day...

https://mcreator.pylo.co/ You can start with this which will get him custom machines, guns, bullets and the like. Vehicle movement is difficult but could be done. You'll want to look at the source code for mods like Archimedes ships, the boat, the mine cart, and similar things. Minecraft modding is like %60 stealing code, 10% original ideas, and -24512%% lovely java coding. As for not getting the forge environment up correctly, if you provide a picture, I could look at it, or link you to some video tutorials as well. Hell, with that you could even do custom armor, and he'd have quite a bit of playable content by the end of the day. DO NOT LET HIM POST IT ONLINE. If he wants to share it, you be the go between. The community is god awful if you're not in the right hangouts.

There are electrical compressors for plates instead of the starting smeltered based compressor block. Not that it makes it much better than it was as you go up the rocket tiers. Best way to make steel depends on the modpack. This could range from the Gregtech modpacks where you're stuck with the slow bronze blast furnace for a good while to as simple as resmeltering iron ingots. The two methods you outlined basically use the same amount of ingredients (IIRC 10 units of carbon is one coal) so it's down to a matter of how easy it is to automate and how much energy it takes to convert.

In Mekanism you can also improve efficiency by using compressed carbon (1 coal in an enrichment chamber) which makes it 10 times uses in the metallurgic infuser, at the expense of some power. So that's 1 coal + 5 iron ingots -> 5 steel, which is pretty efficient. You can swap out the coal 1:1 for charcoal too, which is good if you have a lot of charcoal around. For big batches you could use the TC smelter (2 pulverised coal + 1 iron -> 1 steel) but smelting pulverized coal takes an absolute age. You can pipe liquefacted coal directly into the smelter from a magma crucible, though you don't really gain anything over making steel directly in an induction smelter.

Yeah the mek one is semi automated. Can have 2 infusers that drop it down, though im not sure it works for the compressed plates, I might have to try it. Though ive pretty much finished the pack as it stands now. Oh set up a cursed earth farm. I opened the door for some reason and 2 baby zombies came out. I killed 1 of them and the other became invisible. I think its still down in my reactor pit, its killed me about 7 times. LOL ( i dont go down there any more, which will be a problem when my reactor needs some more fuel.)

One explains that the second will become active when they fulfill some pre-requisites I layout that will make the moon stuff much more tolerable. They can proceed to the rocket just fine, but having that quest light up is a good indicator that they will have a good time. quote:Though my son now wants rockets in the minecraft he plays >< quote:Does the next version/update have the turbine tutorial in it? quote:And does galaticcraft or whatever it is ever get automated compressors for the plates? because gently caress that ... quote:And what is the best way to make steel?

You have to be careful about doors in grinder-managed cursed earth farms or other similar contraptions. If the door is flat against the outside, and the grinders are set up to only cover the inside, then there's a small safe spot at the door monsters can stand in to avoid the grinder. If you make sure the door is flat against the inside, this isn't a problem.

   Turns out getting mana->RF isn't as difficult as I thought it would be. Pretty satisfying though. This messy setup might not be any kind of efficient or elegant, but it works. Blightfall sure is an interesting learning experience.

Then i struck some sort of skeleton that set me on fire with each hit i did to it. Then there was some sort of creeper that was tossing lightning bolts everytime i hit it?. I used to love the smelter, but after doing some tech mods holy cow the smelter is slow and annoying. Edit to add pics Oh i loaded up my game Always special  This is my mana to rf production  Here are my golems being idiots.

Clairetic posted:It's been over a year and people are still talking about blightfall. I followed during the big craze everyone went through last year but that was before I'd ever really touched Thaumcraft (or Botania) so I wasn't game to pick it up. I'm glad I decided to now. Though, at the same time, glad I played it -after- all the changes it went through back then. The people who made it put a hell of a lot of love into it though. A hand-crafted map, HQM wizardry, hell even custom mods - it's almost 'total conversion' territory. I was iffy about single-player experiences before but now I want more HQM story stuff. ..HQM story stuff that isn't Regrowth, anyway. Also: wait, I don't need to put mana spreaders -on top of- mana pools for them to spread mana?  That would make things so much easier. Also look at you and your buildings. A double-walled pen was the closest I got to building any sort of structures. Though I'm currently making a small spaceship Archimedes Ship for a laugh.Looking at Minecraft screenshots always makes me feel like I manage to do everything in the worst, most laborious and inefficient ways possible.

Blightfall was my first experiance with modded minecraft (as minecraft was really boring) and yeah, nothing has even come close to being as good. Im chasing the dragon though!! You dont want to see what's inside the building. The first layer was my 'everything goes here' the second layer was my ' holy gently caress, nothing works, i cant move. let me at least put some AE/thaumcraft burners somewhere else' The power setup was interesting. I remember posting how even at max power from my reactor i was not able to use machines. I had a cell that was taking energy, then feeding it through a loop back to itself and never actually doing anything. Im also sort of making a super node, my 7 in primals doesnt recharge fast enough Then under all that i have a cursed earth farm feeding a ghast spawner and a wither skeleton spawner. If anything though, Regrowth taught me how to use Jabba barrels better. If i was to play my blightfall game again 99% of my time would be reorgansing poo poo. OR heading over to Beta and starting a new base without all the mistakes (and a whole load of new ones). I can see my rancher for wool is in the wrong place. I was manually doing milk from cows WTF am i crazy, but i think that was more a slaughter pen for leather for tut. I mean i have 3 separate botania setups that could be fixed with proper use of sparks and other mana movement tools. The big dirt block is a 9x9x9 for mushroom growing. why i needed that when down south is everything you need... Oh here's a tip for thaumcraft 4. Research tables are independant. So if you have 3 of them and they are all regening order for instance, you can get 3 free order points for research by going to each one individually and clicking to get the free one. Horrible yes, but i never got around to having a golem autocraft crafting tables to throw into a deconstruction table. Its also nice to have whisperweeds at research tables ^^

A lot of the particularly annoying effects are nerfed, and the mobs drop great loot when they die. At this point, that mod kind of goes against the major theme of the pack.

TheresaJayne posted:of course if you add extra cells and thaumic energistics you can then store liquids and Vis as well as having 4096K drives Extra Cells is in there, but Thaumic Energistics won't ever be. I should post here that I'm skipping Thaumcraft completely now. My plan was to get into the magic stuff. However, the TC5 talk has shown me everything I know about all that is getting thrown out, so the progression I was planning to use (bum rush to CV with diversions for shock focus and other comedy) has become moot. I'm kind of dismayed. However, I have plenty else to do; I basically have 2.5 chapters of advanced quests to do, and some of it involves very tricky stuff. At the moment, I am trying to verify I can clone a completed dimension tab, have the player go there, and show up in a dimension I created that has an emergency hut. They can get stuff out of a chest to take them back home there if they didn't set themselves up correctly. Speaking of which, does anybody know how to set up a corpse with CustomNPCs? I kind of want to slap one on the ground in the RFtools dimension with a sign next to him reading, "See this guy? He forgot to bring a way back home with him!"

blightfall was cool because it has a pretty good balance of actual adventure mixed with fiddling with mod stuff, all wrapped up in a really interesting handmade map with a bunch of poo poo spread out everywhere. it also had a sense of danger without being actually 'gently caress you' levels of difficult, so you could actually feel on edge when you were out and about but you didn't have to worry about something like teleporting creepers that can walk through walls or whatever the hell people are making these days. a lot of the more difficult areas were also sectioned off into their own, distinct places so you weren't super likely to just accidentally walk into them.
