Yeah, my 1.10.2 modpack has Mekanism, EnderIO, Immerisive Engineering, RFTools & Refined Storage for a decent selection of tech mods, plus a load of more magic-themed ones. I miss Thermal Expansion and MFR but hey, just means I've had to play around with other mods to see what I can do differently.

In short, yes, 1.7.10 oversaw the greatest level of development on the mod and forge side of things, the birth, life, and death of several mods, and not quite but almost 3 loving years of time. It is hard to move on because quite a few people never played anything before, weren't around for things like beta Minefactory and IC1, 1.2.5's glorious reign of 9 months (jesus gently caress we all thought this was long once upon a time), the IC2 abandonment wave, the rise of ThermEx and the Technic spitfights and ragefests. This was a lot of people's introduction and general place of enjoyment for modded MC. But in the end, please Don't be Rootin-Tootin Tex Mex. Let that poo poo go, it's a wait at first, but things fill in, and new stuff takes the place of holes, it already happened once. Just embrace the 1.10, and leave 1.7.10 to it's rest.

Magres posted:Other way to do it that takes a little more prep work is to go adventuring and get Botania going, duplicate a ton of Redstone for some maxed out haste gloves, make a manasteel hammer, and smash your way around faster than the blight can catch up. The process of getting the glove going is an example of something I actually find interesting and why I play modded. I needed leather, and I lost the cow lottery this time in my base. I am not mining so I haven't gotten enough prometheum to black market myself some cows, and I wasn't convinced I'd get a breeding pair from the supplier very easily. I could have used the reputation from exploring and I needed to get more ethereal blooms and random stuff, so I set up a trip. I managed to get some one-use safari nets in the provider lottery, so I took three with me on the way from the mountain lake to the spires. I ran into some cows on tree leaves and snagged them before they turned. Boom. I reached the spires, got my rep, stole the things, dealt with the super happy fun thing there, and got back to base. I do have bloodwood, but I don't get that much redstone from growing those trees. It's also tedious to deal with the leaves. I should just add veinminer and fast leaf decay. I got the cows going while tending to some other poo poo, and my fisher rig popped out another leather. I set up the fisher with a battery as a backup to give me plastic bags that might have cow eggs in them. It's also a nice diet boost and plastic generator. So I got my glove between that, knocking out two cows, and the leather I already had. I only had a stack of redstone so I had to go back down in the hole. And then it got boring. There was some cleared areas where I had already expanded out overhead, and I managed to extract some general stuff in there, but I did not got anywhere near enough redstone. Now that I'm playing it again, and having done BFSR, there are a few things I think would have been done to improve the pack for single-player: 1. Put a Jaded Amaranthus in 2-3 scout locations and focused on that over the botania flower scanning plot line. I think that plot line is hilarious, but it puts Botania on the far end of the progression for a pack where it's very useful. Being able to really use it is still out of the question to new players because they won't know what it really is until they can get the Lexica Botania up. I mean, they could do a lot of searching online, but they would inevitably be able to do that for Blightfall in general. The black lotuses that show up as well as the pure daisies would give enough to be able to start servicing that plant and get a few starting flowers. The flower locations would be a backup if the player runs out of mana before getting everything, and those locations could have other resources. Alternately, the flowers to at least make a daybloom or nightshade should be available at most locations. That is enough to get a taste for that mod just from that. 2. Make the mineral-rich areas actually mineral-rich. It was very disappointing that the odds were just slightly-improved. 3. Make the one ore in each biome very ridiculous. I know it kind of does that already, but I mean that there should be a strong incentive to go there to find things. 4. Walk through some of the Thaumcraft stuff, as opposed to fixating on the ethereal blooms For example, I think one of the optional flower scanning quests should be delivering a shock focus to Dr. Sprouse. That and emphasize the alchemy research. Maybe it does, but I haven't really cleared the hump in the quest book and forgot what showed up from the first time I played. 5. Put a few harvestcraft crops in some of the scout locations, or add abandoned farm scout locations. Relying on the lottery to not starve to death is going to ultimately really frustrate somebody. This time around, I just keep rolling in egpplants, almond trees, and pistachios. I need tomato and spice leaves to really expand the diet. Milk is also an issue, but they did set up a few ways to get to it. I know that spice leaves are hidden around, but I never saw others. It is nice that the berry bushes do show up around scout locations; they each basically yield a unique berry, juice, jelly, and a smoothie. 6. Have an abandoned place that had a golems to do a basic farm. They don't need to explain what they do, just have them. Alternately, it's a scout location that triggers another quest that starts to explain them. Generally, I think despite the drat game being called "Minecraft," it's in a better place if the player doesn't have to start at a bunch of stone, bang on it, stare at more stone, bang on it, etc. It could be better if the game just had more variety underground. I don't think there's a good concoction of mods to really make the underground interesting enough. For Blightfall, all I can think to do is to have spots stuck underground near scout locations that have a little more interest. A player that had interest in mining each biome--due to each biome having a very high rate of some ore--will stumble into them.

I'm really liking a lot of 1.10 mods; specifically, Roots is a fun early game magic mod, and Actually Additions kind of takes the place of a lot of MineFactory Reloaded features, except with less "automatically do things" blocks and more "coffee brewing potions for food." 1.10 also has a way more fun Tinker's Construct, with no superpowered ranged weapons, some nice quality of life improvements (like accessing all Tinkers crafting machine tables at once from tabs at the top) and some loving brilliant additions (slime boots/slime sling transport will never get old). I'm really liking the state of 1.10 at the moment.

I am back with another request for pack recommendations... I have given up on the idea of a Pokemon centered pack, due to horrible interaction with the most promising pack, and it's forced launcher -- I'm looking at you, Void Launcher! It literally forced me to reinstall the launcher and pack every time we started to play. How cool. Anyhow... now I've found out that my wife wants to do nothing but build, so I'm looking for the best builder's pack. It should have lots of varied building aids and materials. Any suggestions?

Khorne posted:1.10 still has some big issues, like load time, and little to no advantage over 1.7.10. I've had the opposite experience. Once I hit 50 mods in any given 1.7.10 pack I'd have to just do something else after launching the game because the load time was interminable. I mean, the "Ding" mod was developed during the peak of 1.7.10's reign for a reason. 1.10 has been similar, but not as bad, so a lot like 1.6.4 was IIRC. Also 1.7.10 was by far the worst version I've ever dealt with server-wise, terrain generation just MURDERED every 1.7.10 server I ran, no matter what I did. It was also a horrible resource hog in general, and that's compared to 1.2.5, 1.4.7, 1.5.2, and 1.6.4 before it. I think 1.7.10 is still the standard for the same reason that big packs and servers stuck with 1.6.4 into the early parts of 2013; mods were slow to adopt it, and they have been EXTREMELY slow to adopt 1.8 and beyond. I'm not blaming them for it, but I don't think it has anything to do with 1.10's performance being worse than 1.7.10's, especially considering the advancements Forge has made. poo poo, 1.10 is the first time ever it's been possible to run mods built for a previous MC version (in this case, it's 1.9.4 mods, which can run in 1.10 and 1.10.2 without any issues).

1.10 runs fairly well for me but for some reason, as I mentioned a page back or so, I can't host a decent server. 1.8.9 ran great with a bunch of mods but now with even fewer I'm getting a much laggier server, to the extent I even had to cut out EnderIO. Hopefully future versions fix performance further.Whalley posted:I'm really liking a lot of 1.10 mods; specifically, Roots is a fun early game magic mod E: also a lot of nether materials and even sponges, which are not easy to get.

The Slime Slingshot in Tinker's 1.10 is amazing, but how can I disable the "moved too quickly" check that stops people in mid-air when they use it? I tried turning on "allow flight" on my server.

Just booted up Agrarian Skies 2 and... no inventory. Check my backups, no inventory. Hello Blightfall. I was probably about 75% of the way through. My whole reason for playing was to force myself to use mods I have never tried. I liked Thaumcraft and Botania and see myself using them again. I didnt actually see a use for Bloodmagic. My entire time using it was just standing at the altar getting to the next tier. e: Tried loading up the Hermitcraft Modpack and 40 minutes in and it still hadnt loaded. Guess its a little too much for my laptop.

OgNar posted:Just booted up Agrarian Skies 2 and... no inventory. Check my backups, no inventory. Blood Magic gets worlds better once you have a big enough altar to set up a Well of Suffering and put a good mob spawner on it (shove a blood orb into the altar getting LP from the Well of Suffering and you can power basically anything, and there are lots of fun rituals to play with). Notably, the Obsidian Tower is actually one enormous mob spawner. Clean the island and light it, shove a Well of Suffering in the hollow space under the blood altar in it, and enjoy easy LP. Alternately Tainted Soil from activating a Division Sigil makes for pretty much the best mob spawner room possible. Magres fucked around with this message at 21:18 on Nov 4, 2016 |

I think the tree expands out north and east. I just flipped the gear around a little bit and got a few trees through just fine. I couldn't figure it out from the Natura source code when I tried to peek at it, but I was relieved to see they're working on getting it out on 1.10.

Mo Creatures is interesting but ultimately adds way too many fluff entities and had some seriously bullshit moves in the form of Ogres which will routinely Kool-aid Man any ground-level structures you have. Paris Harvestcraft is interesting. It works best if paired with Hunger Overhaul and Spice of Life so that you have a real reason to use the dozens and dozens of different food types (be careful when handling settings for those mods, though - it's possible to set them to truly BS levels). I mostly like it 'cause it gives you a reason and way to have huge fields of different types of crops and different food to eat.

I tried Journey to the Core and man, these kinds of 'hardcore' packs I just don't get. You spend an hour or two desperately scrabbling together a little bunker that won't suffocate/insane you or collapse on your head, then the only way to progress is to kill something, so you walk outside and a creeper blows up killing you and your grave has 50 blazes and skeletons and creepers and zombies on it, and then you break the grave and a creeper blows up and destroys your unreplaceable ticon tools. I don't get how all these lets plays of it have dozens/hundreds of chapters when one mistake could make it unwinnable. They seem so close to being fun, but the whole idea of just a second of bad luck could steal hours or days or even weeks of work just doesn't make sense to me. It'd be more tolerable if spawning wasn't so nonsensical - you walk outside and it's completely empty and then suddenly 20 mobs appear point blank after you walk out.

Don't put Hunger Overhaul in any 1.10 packs jesus saturating be used for regeneration means food you can only eat once before it's half effective, and twice before it's useless, means half your inventory needs to be food for any sort of cave delving or dungeon diving it was a poor idea before 1.10 and new mechanics just magnify that

Blind Duke posted:Don't put Hunger Overhaul in any 1.10 packs jesus I like the idea of getting some extra benefit from carrying and eating different things than a stack of baked potatoes, and I like having some encouragement to use Pam's Harvestcraft + Cooking for Blockheads, but the mechanics and common/default configuration for hunger mods tend to be wasteful and annoying. They also generally render the "snack" recipes from Pam's Harvestcraft useless anyway. If one item only restores a tiny bit of hunger and saturation, the next restores basically nothing. You need to carry a bunch of mild variations of similar recipes, and no more than two, because after that they turn to ash in your mouth. I think most people could eat some meals several times in a row before getting sick of them. The combination of "Let's make the game more realistic and challenging" with "I have no idea how the real world actually works and even less idea how to integrate it with game mechanics" is a plague upon many modern games, especially in the sandbox/survival genre. I think that genre of game is an admirable goal but it doesn't work if the player is handcuffed by the combination of a lack of realism (can't do certain things because they aren't implemented) and an overabundance of realism (can't do certain things because they go against the developer's "vision"). For every brilliant survival game like The Long Dark, there's a hundred sandbox games with survival elements shoehorned in, like Space Engineers starting off on a planet's surface under siege by common wolves that can bite through metal (formerly exploding robot wolves). If it's not feasible to overhaul the whole game's mechanics with typical mods, I'd rather experience a challenge modpack as something that primarily antagonizes you using the environment (like Blightfall) or lack thereof (like Skyblock maps), rather than something that enforces limits and distractions on top of regular gameplay.
