I'd like to add some more decorations to housing and such in my game. Not too interested in a billion extra items I'll hardly ever use since I barely use most vanilla crap anyway. Mostly though I just want like, chairs and decorative plants and that kind of stuff. What are my options?

Vib Rib posted:1: I actually used the pulverizer for a very short time, mostly to buff up copper, of all things. Very soon after I had the energy condenser, so I could just dupe all the metal I wanted. I'd definitely beeline towards that -- your main roadblock will be coal, so get at least 2 organic compressors set up, fill them up, and save for the condenser ASAP (they can be easily fueled with jungle planks, if you plant 4 jungle saplings in a square outside with plenty of headroom, bonemeal them, then take it down with a tinker's lumber axe of netherrack which is easily replaced, you can fill your inventory with logs in maybe a minute). Yeah im on the hunt for coal atm for the condenser. Im a little over half way there, but the jungle sapling idea sounds good.I will see if i can get one. Yeah ive got a decent xbow. Think i went blue slime body and limb. normal string and paper binding. It currently shoots at 0.6s. Bolts i went blue slime with iron. Got reinforced as first upgrade so they max out at 74 bolts. 3x moss means im never struggling Im actually almost done with the top tier survivialist generator too. (ive almost got all the mats to make the 54 1st tier ones i need (as i already have a tier 2 running) That stack of chance iso you get from the quest? I looked at mine and they have a chance -100 (so i was wondering if there is any reason to even bother trying to open them)

Some servers use bungee but i was admin on a server once, where you appeared on a tiny dimension and if you went through portals you appeared on the overworld so it was possible in 1.6 (Voltz) I am loking through the codebase i have but cannot see how they made the login - maybe it was a plugin they wrote. I know they had a mega modified codebase

It is goofy but should work. I just do not want to be putting in more coding time on it if there already is something for it.

Vib Rib posted:Charms stack, so wearing two charms of +100 chance will max them out, yielding mostly beacons and enchanting tables. One will bring it to 0, for more diverse rewards. Yeah, i semi built my base and then went to bed. And no, its not safe when you get to the deep dark. There are large holes in the top floor and i already had a creeper come say hello. I had to use my condensor to make obsidian to wall off my base. Oh and zombies, god. In the caves they were 1 hit, maybe 2. Now they are 4 if not 5 hits before they even think of dying. Im semi lucky i got a nether star from an ore drop though. Being able to make emc out of light means i wont need to go exploring for a while. Only real problem is i made my initial base too small, but can add a second floor. I may look into making a charm for the chance stuff. I opened 5 from a quest and got 4 exploding ender crystal things and 1 that eats away a large square of everything. Some advice for moving. Keep dirt and a sapling on your hotbar before you leave. I nearly died looking through my 11 golden bags of holding for something to let me breath.

Hey, is there somewhere I can talk about server hosts, or would it be ok to ask here? We're currently using Akliz for our server, and frankly we're not happy. Users have been getting randomly disconnected since day 1 with no real ability to tell why, and since we switched to a new mod pack, the server's been getting huge lag spikes that time out almost all, if not all, of our users whenever people go exploring and generate new terrain. There's also the fact that we pay $60/month for our package and the server is funded entirely by donations, so if we can go cheaper, that'd be great.

Things with the new version of BFSR: 1. It'd be cool if the quests for the stone tinker's stuff used wooden handles. It'd make those tools less fragile and introduce people to the concept of different materials in the same tool (so later they'll know they should totally put the Alumite head on the bronze pickaxe later). 2. I can't get the Leadstone Energy Cell quest to work, it seems like an item mismatch. 3. With the updated world gen getting hold of lava seems to be a bit more of a pain that it should be. The world is way better than it was with the surface lava pools but it does seem to be a bit of a bottleneck (or I'm searching wrong).

So I can verify they did the other parts in stone or something. 2. It looks like when I update Thermal Expansion, everything in the quest book goes to hell. The good news is that I already went through and re-asserted all the Thermal Expansion stuff so that should be cleared and updated. I am planning to post an update in a few hours. 3. Well, I do give the player four actual blocks of lava when they complete the smeltery now. I mean, like, they're holding squares of lava in their hands and they have to put them in the world. I even made a mention of it, but I imagine you're well beyond that. Those four are enough to get them primed. Anyways, it was good to complain now because I was about to whip up the pack and do updates.

There are some special materials that get an extra bonus, like Thaumium which grants two extra modifiers total instead of one. Stone has a worse handle multiplier than wood, so a full stone tool is a bad idea.

They keep their inventory when picked up, so instead of packing up your base with each dimensional jump, just grab the chests and go. I beat the pack last night and hoo boy, that last step's a doozy. I have no idea what they expect you to do for armor because even with like 4 full health bars and some endgame armor I was getting my poo poo slapped in about two hits from some of the souped-up mobs. The Ender Expansion boss you're supposed to fight as the sort of final confrontation is infinitely easier than the endlessly-spawning near-instakill endermen that surround him. Lure him out, build a platform, done.

Yeah, that got me underway in my smeltery but eventually I reached a point where I needed to start using up reasonable quantities of metals and for beginning the power quests and while I had ~1k Iron Ore, 2 stacks diamond etc. I still had only found 1 block of lava out in the world. It puts a cramp on both ramping into metal requiring quests and going to the Nether. If I had to guess I'd imagine the problem is that all the extra ore gen you've got going on is pushing lava lakes (at around Y=30) out of generation like you originally had with emerald. I should also point out (as I didn't in my previous post), BFSR in its current form is better than ever and I'm enjoying playing through it again a lot (even the bit where a blinding thunder casting zombie killed me).

Vib Rib posted:The charms are definitely worth it. You can frequently get beacons as chance rewards, which are worth well more EMC than it costs to make the charm. I'd also advise vines instead of saplings, since they can be placed anywhere. What is the end game armour? And i can leave the deep dark (think that entire chapter took only a few hours, hardest part was kill the creepers quest. I just set up spawners for zombies and skellies. And the wither went down in his little room with no problems.) Yeah, no need for saplings atm either. the stone that transmutes stuff worked wonders. I dont even know if i need to bother with the ender quarry either. The emc dupe isnt working. If ihave something with low durability and i put in in the table i get a full durability one registered :/ Is the nether the last map or is it the end? (im currently tossing in 1 mill cobblestone and then i have 1 more quest left after that, then i will move. I did want to farm the wither, but i just dont get enough skulls and i cant tank 300-500 hp skeletons with a sword.

Think I found your problem. You really don't need much metal to start the power generation quests, and they lead you into ore processing that isn't reliant on lava. Plus ore's plentiful enough you don't necessarily need ore processing, so you can just furnace it if you're in a pinch. Even if you want to go pure smeltery, there's a nether portal within a stone's throw of the overworld spawn point. Or there's a weird coincidence where both worlds I've created had nether portals right near spawn.

Good luck filling it up without being dedicated to doing that. It can go to -2'147'483'648 actually, in twos complement representation  . Don't forget you also need to be able to represent 0.

Mind you, VNuc is a VPS hoster, not a game server one, you have to know all the stuff to do commandline work to have it be useful. Also, the disconnect issue is a thing with 1.7.10 and large packs thanks to netcode and packet overflow. No server or host will change it, it's dumb and the sooner everything moves away from 1.7.10 the better. VNuc has a thread in SAMart and a goon discount if you wind up going with it.

That's a bug I can't nail down. I don't entirely know how it happens, but I think there's something going on with RFTools dimensions. After seeing it for months in the beta, I just noticed last night that when I used the rattle to go back to the tutorial dimension that I toggled the "we need to go deeper" achievement. I was going to dimension ID #2, where The Nether is ID #-1. I might try to find that achievement in the decompiled Minecraft code and see what toggles it since that might imply some things I can do about it. Edit: I guess I will write that I did post an update where the tools use stick handles now, except for the netherrack pick. I might keep that one that way because it assumes a Nether bumrush strategy. Rocko Bonaparte fucked around with this message at 16:20 on Jul 19, 2016 |

As mentioned, there are ultimately better ways to do it. In the electrical power chapter, there is a progression to Mekanism ore tripling. It comes with an Enchiridion book that is a picture guide of how to assemble the rig. There's also a comedy option advanced quest in that chapter now for setting up sustainable power by manufacturing TNT from cobblestone and feeding it into TNT generators--also complete with a picture guide. I felt the mod pack needed some advanced and hilarious diversions from reaching the moon.

Is the evolving technology modpack any good? I'm looking for a more guided experience with the use of quest books that I haven't been able to find yet. So far I've tried blightfall, skyfactory, and now space astronomy. I've had the most fun with the space pack and its quest book is more along the lines of what I'm looking for. I wish these mods had more in game documentation on how to build and set up things. Edit: Also is it a good idea to just always have fastcraft installed?

Packing tape lets you pick up the drawers without dropping the items, then you just set them all back up at the other end. That plus a bag full of JABBA dollies let me pack up without too much trouble.

There's a mod in the pack that makes enemies stronger every time a boss is defeated, and I'm not sure if the trigger is repeatable or first-only, but I wouldn't risk it with enemies getting as souped up as they are already.

Vib Rib posted:For the EMC dupe, you don't use the table. You stick it in an energy condenser to duplicate it, then into an alchemical chest with a repair talisman. The repair talisman will, for free, bring the charm back up to full durability, making it worth like 30x as much. Then you just drop that into the first condenser to get more mostly-broken charms you can repair, or into your tablet for raw EMC. I heard of a mod that made the Wither itself stronger every time you killed it, but I hadn't heard of one that made other monsters stronger. What's it called?

There's just more mods for it at this point. There's also modmods and crossover mods so the large variety of mods feel less like their own independent tech trees, and people can customize their mods easier. Just higher variety really. They'll move over as more mods release updates for later versions.

FalloutGod posted:So why does everyone stick to 1.7 for all the mod packs? What makes it so special? Is it just the familiarity? I haven't seen a coherent loadout for technology modding beyond 1.7.10 yet. BFSR will end up having to lag behind things anyways because of all the activities behind explaining and progressing things. So I am just hoping the community at least semi-stabilizes on one of the newer ones. I'd then start playing with kitchen-sink packs and try to edit it down to a modlist similar to BFSR. At that point, I can consider a port. That would likely involve many quests breaking, then having to tweak progression, delete deprecated stuff, and add entries for new stuff. It looks to me from back here that RFTools is one area where I expect to have to add much more, for example.
