I think he means make a modpack I kind of wanted to just work with Omp Sigma but it's discontinued. I had a backup save but I can't get multi mc to launch it because I'm also dumb... Mystical realms looks good and omp sigma's mods outside the big five of thaumcraft, botania, witchery, blood magic, and arse magick were kind of lame but I liked the dungeons it included, so I still will take any help offered getting that to work again. I have been playing with 1.10 and Psi and having fun with that. 1.10 combat is genuinely better just because you have a crowd control attack off the bat, so I'm enjoying it, but I didn't adjust ore rarity and there's no netherores or ore doubling or anything - didn't include TIC, tired of it and didn't want a half assed version - so I'm already out of iron and haven't found a diamond. Lame. Maybe I should've put in magical crops.

How do you all clear out the lower layers of Roguelike Dungeons without things like the scythe from legacy Tinkers Construct? There's only so much bypassing I can really tolerate to find all the hidden spawners. With 1.10.2 combat mechanics, it's an overwhelming volume of monsters.

TNT? use a buildcraft quarry or some other kind of quarry? computercraft turtle? Or just don't bother with it. The only thing I've found that lets me deal with those is just quarrying them, abusing Ars Magica 2 spells, or taking them out from a distance somehow. I find it easiest to just ignore them, quarry it, or don't set foot inside the dungeon, instead dig around it without setting foot inside the dungeon.

Play on a server with a bit of lag so you can dash in, quickly grab loot, and dash out before too many monsters spawn otherwise you want a weapon with some armor piercing, because those spiders in the hell level absolutely have diamond armor

Taffer posted:Wait until you get good gear. Being really hard is the whole point. I'm encased in steel at this point, so defense is okay. My problem is offense--and particularly the rate at which I can deal damage. I don't think enderium is a thing in 1.10.2 yet, and the weapon recharge time is tricky too. If I had a scythe, I could hit the whole crew bearing down on me in one swipe, but that isn't in the 1.10.2 Tinkers Construct for some reason. My alternate plan of a super-piston frying pan to just drive them away is no good either due to the confined space. Right now, I really only have an iron sword, and I haven't felt the need to upgrade because it was mending and unbreaking on it, so it takes care of itself. I think I'd only get another point of damage or so with steel. I have a bucket of lava that I can dump out for backup, but that has turned out to just be defensive too. I was wondering about stuff like that rocket launcher in Mekanism. If it can blow up spawners without necessarily wrecking chests, then I would totally take pot shots at them from the other end of the hallway. I'm stuck at the 3rd level, where they start to put lots of spawners in the walls of large rooms, so there's just tons of monsters spawning. All I can really think to do is run ahead and slam torches everywhere to reduce the spawn rate. They're just spawning faster than I can reasonably kill them.

Block off hallways you haven't gone through so you aren't getting surprised attacked from behind while dealing with a spawner room. Light your way, kill all spawners as you come across them and have a good idea where they hide in the bigger, more complex rooms. The "catacombs" like area tend to be behind the white quartz blocks whereas the Nether rooms have them hiding in corners. Wear your strongest armour or start combining the copious amounts of equipment that spawned enemies will generate. Armour piercing is key the further down you go so Tinker's Construct rapiers are really good in these fights. You could potentially handle it with Thaumcraft foci (chain lightning!) and keep yourself topped up by all the killing you're doing.

I may just be talking out my rear end but I think those spawners ignore light levels. I haven't tested that since I played with the mod ages ago so that might not be the case anymore. They're neat but also incredibly hard, it's a weird mod I kinda lovehate.

If I were playing Hexxit or whatever, then this would be a breeze. Or heck, Enderium tools would be a nice. In Hexxit from years back, I remember relying on a Legia Bow that shot three arrows at once. I'd throw it in that really nice enchanting table that let you pick your poison, and I'd set it to shoot flaming arrows. I was a walking napalm death machine. Which 1.10.2 mods can I add to get that extra edge? It looks like Thaumcraft and the shock focus for making a death taser is still a big way to go. I have Botania, but I never made its toys; I lost interest in Blightfall once I had my power rig up and could harvest all the essentia I needed. It looks like the crazy weapons in Mekanism aren't in 1.10.2. Speaking of Mekanism, where did the digital miner go? I don't have an ender quarry either, as I think somebody else reported. I have just progressive automation.

Been playing Modderation: Permabanned with some friends on a server, and I gotta say it's hilarious how all of us set out to break it in different ways. One dude went straight Project E and farming EMC, another dude built a Big Reactor that made power fairly trivial, and I set up my usual MFR/TE abusive treefarm for charcoal power in steam dynamos and we're all kinda at similar levels of breaking the poo poo out of the pack. I get not all packs are so high powered but it's still fun watching us break poo poo in completely different mods/cross-mod shenanigans. In the end, though, I gotta say, Project E (the modern EE) is still the most broken. Duping anything is just too powerful.

Rocko Bonaparte posted:I don't fart around long enough to check, but it does look like the first three levels of spawners will shut up if I toss a torch on top of them. If not, it appears to at least severely delay them. The Sword of the Zephyr was great for crowd control in TC4. Does it still hit multiple opponents in TC5? You'd want to enchant it, obviously.

Almost nothing but decorative blocks and the barest, most basic things has EMC, and we've tried to close all the major loopholes we could. It's working pretty well so far.

I haven't played this game since beta and don't know anything about modding. I did, however, try out Blightfall based on goon recommendation a couple days ago. It seemed right up my alley, but the overly complex and tedious poo poo surrounding stuff like cooking and thaumcraft turned me off completely. If I wanted a minecraft experience with a greater sense of progression and challenge but without too much finicky bullshit, what would you folks suggest?

I can't actually think of any progression/challenge packs that don't rather require you to know at least a basic idea of what you're doing and a willingness to go through early tedium in order to eventually construct creative ways of reducing or eliminating the tedium or making Everything in order to solve a problem. Except maybe those awful combat-based ones. You could try a skyfactory map though? Black Pants fucked around with this message at 06:30 on Aug 25, 2016 |

Rocko Bonaparte posted:Which 1.10.2 mods can I add to get that extra edge? ArmorPlus has some powerful (probably OP for some) armor, and the Super Star bow does insane damage. Tinkers Alloying Addon adds in a bunch of new alloys and metals for TiCon tools, personally I find the default settings a bit eh and give no reason to really go beyond default TiCon metals, but these can be scaled in the config to give more durability, speed and damage. There's also some pretty cool modifiers the materials have, as well as annoying ones (Garishly is poo poo, avoid like the plague). I will admit, though, I am really missing Enderium tool/weapons.

Does Life in the Woods run horribly in general, or is it just me? Its got lower frames than I'd like in general, but it is just about unplayable with shaders on. I also have a weird reproducible crash that happens when I try to walk in a certain direction from my current save. To be fair about the shaders, I find that most modpacks with shaders run like poo poo, which sucks because I can play modern games on high quality with no real issue. I know MC in general is a more CPU related thing, but aren't the shaders actually on the GPU?

Thats the second time Ars Magica reset my spell points back to 3 (the starting amount). Still keep my mana and spells but cant create any new spells unless I cheat them back in. Which is fine on single player, but on a server that could get to be a pain in the rear end. Over all though it is a pretty fun mod.

I have to ask if you are using the latest version and the last time you reinstalled the pack, as well as if there are any other mods that might be unstable. Sometimes modpacks get corrupted or something and have to be reinstalled.

Natural Magic was the closest thing I had found. BulletPhases RPG pack, but I don't know if that is even around anymore. It is frustrating that every modpack is the exact same 100 mods over and over. Hexxit was good for its simplicity. It added a bunch of adventuring stuff and that was pretty much it.

The last modpacks I really enjoyed that weren't kinda feeling halfassed were Obscurity, Blightfall, and ME^4. HAve any other worthwhile modpacks in that sort of HQM/goal oriented style come out lately or is everything still too unstable from the move to 1.10? As much fun as learning a lot of mods for the first time were i'm not as interested in kitchen sink modpacks that just have you build modpack stuff entirely for their own sake at this point.

I really hate when a good mod falls afoul of "vision" bullshit. 1.10.2 EnderIO can get hosed. The new soul binder makes a godawful sound like nails on a chalkboard only ten thousand times worse. It seems to be designed more for torturing people than gameplay. I disabled the machine sounds for it as soon as I heard it. And I also disable mekanism machine sounds because who the gently caress wants to hear all that pounding and whatever.
