On that note, I don't just turn keepInventory on, I turn mobGriefing off in every game I play. Maybe it's childish easymode or whatever but having creepers blow up something important is not fun for me.

People can't even get their 1.10 mod versions to run without making GBS threads themselves half the time yet and here we go again splitting all the mod versions across 4 loving variants now with 1.7, 8,10 and now 11. Modders are just going to have to decide on a version to stick to for a while as Mojang has repeatedly stated since before 1.10's release that they are transitioning to smaller updates on shorter dev cycles. I forget the exact version number they gave, but they essentially said that if people wanted to wait to update for similar content equal to the 1.7 or 1.9 updates that they probably need to wait till 1.14/16 (as in going from 1.10 to that). I mean, to go from 1.8 to 1.9 it took Mojang 545 days, they have to balance both types of players: those who mod and those who don't. 1.3 years (not even including bug patches after release) to wait for an update kind of sucks if you are not invested in mods, but they do understand that updating between versions sucks for modders (Mojang in the past few months has hired on additional developers to work on MC Java version and now three people of the team are involved in the modding community: Searge of MCP, RazzleberryFox of DecoCraft, ProfMobius of a ton of different mods and MCP as well, so they have plenty of people there with first hand experience of this issue). That said, 1.9 to 1.10 and 1.10 to 1.11 both took roughly four months, so their estimate of 1.14-1.16 puts them, if they stay this course, at around 600 days, similar to what 1.8 to 1.9 took. So yeah, they are just going to have to buckle down until the actual modding community thinks that enough additional content has been added to justify moving on and personally while 1.11 adds some neat concepts, its not enough to justify updating my own projects to (unless updating is stupid easy like 1.8 to 1.10 was), this isn't a new situation and nobody should be surprised. Here is the video they released for the patch as Mojang dislikes changelogs outside of pre-release patches. My guess is that they view this mostly as a game for children and kids don't want to read thirty pages of listed bug fixes. The video is pretty poo poo because it doesn't cover everything. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsDOKrQBwLI Enzer fucked around with this message at 11:43 on Nov 15, 2016 |

Azanor isn't lazy, he's too industrious. I checked up on the Thaumcraft thread and found out he's redoing the mod again. On top of that he said that if Forge for 1.11 came out during that dev cycle, he'd release it for 1.11 and skip 1.10. Meanwhile Vazkii of all people insists that updating to 1.11 is too much of a pain for no technical gain and everything could be achieved with a backport mod in the vein of Et Futurum, so I have a feeling we are going to be on 1.10 for a while. Thaumcraft will never be for a version of MC that I'm playing again. 1.7.10 was the last time.

I got up to the grapple beam wand focus and it was amazing. Unfortunately for me it only ever feels really worthwhile to play on my server, even if my friends don't play nearly as often as I do, and that's on 1.10. I don't know WHY I can only seem to care if I'm playing on the server, but every single player world I create ends up getting boring. So once my server was on 1.9.4 I was waiting for Azanor to update it to that, then 1.10... and then I read the Thaumcraft thread.

I'm getting the Minecraft itch again, and I hate it. It's never not disappointing. Can anyone recommend a good modded server (preferably goon-run but who the gently caress cares) that doesn't have the same tired end-goal of endless automation and progress bar chains? It's the same things that seem to be inextricably linked to Minecraft that keep me from coming back more often, just endless Hnnng my power output and autofarmsand it makes me want to die after the millionth time, every single time. Is there a server where I can build a modest house, maybe gently caress around with some magic doodads, and not have the server come to a lurching halt every half hour because some turbonerd has a million machines chunckloaded and running at once at all hours of the day?

Looks like this mod is only capable of generating groups in a perfectly spherical shape. Main reason I wanted to use it was to replace big chunks of the underground with different types of stone in different layers, so that... kinda sucks. But there doesn't seem to be an alternative and it works well enough for ore, so oh well. Thanks.

If anyone's looking for a fairly neat Survival-y HQM modpack, The Aftermath on AT Launcher is cool so far. You wake up in a derelict space station and are trying to figure out how to make it self-sustaining again, what happened, and to not die to mobs that spawn outside of the first area or two. Fair warning, if you hate Enviromine and dealing with Heat, Water, and Air you'll hate the pack, but so far those have been concerns that are more "oh god I'm on a limited time clock to get things done" and less "oh boy I need to tediously farm leaf blocks for an eternity" the way they were when I played Crash Landing. It's also really atmospheric, but default the music is turned off (leave it that way!) and hearing monsters scuffling in the walls is decently spooky because you only start with a max of 5 hearts. The only thing I don't like is that your inventory is really limited to start, but I'll admit that it has helped add to the atmosphere that I am alone and screwed.

Oxygen is a big deal so far but that's about it. As far as heat goes, you're going to be more worried about freezing to death than overheating. Imo hypothermia is less frustratingly stupid to deal with than hyperthermia. Honestly the most frustrating thing is that I was an idiot and decided to play on Hardcore, and the whole thing has low gravity, which has the perk of "you have absolutely no weapon knockback" so Creepers are really, really hard to escape from. I'm gonna try hardcore again but give myself a couple extra lives because single life hardcore is frustrating. I like how much hardcore makes my hairs stand on end, but I don't like "lol creeper gg no re" Magres fucked around with this message at 22:52 on Nov 15, 2016 |

You get used to it, and when the quests slow down a bit and you stop hearing YAAAAAYY every 20 seconds it's a lot less annoying. I just made a new map and switched to creative and cheater speedran the entire map in like fifteen minutes, it's pretty drat cool. As best I can tell the quests generally stay oriented on "climb this tech tree, solve this problem. Okay now climb this other tech tree and solve this other problem" and ends with exploring the local area of space around you and couple boss fights instead of dragging on interminably and forcing you into grindy bullshit. I'm looking forward to playing through it! Based on my initial impressions, my advice is: 1 - Set up shop in the tree farm area so you don't have to worry about maintaining Oxygen supplies. Having to swap out air tanks regularly is annoying and leaving the air vents on eats tons of oxygen 2 - Set up food and water asap, I kinda let it go to faff about some in the mines and wound up regretting it when I got down to 1.5 shanks away from starving before I got food up and running 3 - Use clay from the mine to bootstrap your way past the stupid tree farming stage of skyblocks, the modpack is semi-skyblock but with a much less tedious early game. 4 - The mine is a loving death trap, wall it off like 10-15 blocks from the entrance to give yourself room to mine and don't open it unless you absolutely must. 5 - Different colors of hardened clay have different things they can sift into, use NEI to your advantage!! Notably Brown clay has a higher chance of spitting out bits of dirt, so go to the tree farm and carve out some clay Magres fucked around with this message at 06:09 on Nov 16, 2016 |

Yeah, I'm playing it now, got a little stumped for a second when it asked for pebbles and bits of dirt and the clay they gave me to start didn't produce enough, but there's lots of clay under the coarse dirt of the farm itself, so mine that out with your Clay Crusher and you'll be groovy. As with most Ex Nihilo setups you'll want to set up a cobblestone gen as early as possible, and it's pretty easy to get a crucible quick and a bucket even sooner so you'll be up and running in no time. Then you can move on to sifting gravel for early ores like you normally would, and focus on food and the like. I do appreciate that for as hardcore as this pack clearly tries to be, using enviromine, hunger overhaul, etc., they still give you a complete autonomous activator early on so sifting is less boring. Seriously, sifting is boring as gently caress.

You are apparently a lot better than me, as I still don't have a crucible (and as such, no cobblegen) and didn't notice the clay underneath the farm, and have probably been playing twice as long as you.

Yep, that. You can use a simple smart piston setup or a timer to push a line of cobblestone away from the lava so you can mine it. Or just put up with it until you can automate cobble (which shouldn't take too long if this is anything like a normal skyblock).

Most packs like this will have a Vacuum Hopper. It sucks in nearby items and pops them into an adjacent chest. Cost to make is one obsidian, an ender eye, and a hopper. Usually worth it, since you can then fully automate it and leave it be. The mines are an awful place and your air goes really really quick down there. Whatever you do, go slowly and carefully. The last thing you want to do is die too far in (like near the far locker on the main path) because even if you have hardcore mode off, getting your stuff back is going to be very hard without a space suit/air tank. There's a spare in the dorms, I think, but that's it. Tread carefully in the mines. I'm enjoying this pack a lot, and even Hunger Overhaul's ridiculous nerfs to food aren't as bad as they usually are, since food history is only 8 meals long, so you can go from empty to full by chowing down on a bunch of plain crops of maybe 3-4 types (single-point-hunger foods take a long time to stop being effective) and then finish it off with a simple meal. You only really need like two meals this way, and there's a few pretty simple/reliable ones, usually from sandwiches/toast. It gets even easier once you have a decent production running. The biggest problem is food spoilage prevents food from stacking properly, which is a pain. I turned off Enviromine's heat system in-game because it was super obnoxious and unlike the air system didn't feel like it was adding anything. I might turn off spoilage, too, since all it's really doing is making my spider eyes take up five slots instead of one and with a watering can I can get piles of crops in about four seconds so it's not like it's making me run out. Actually, where am I supposed to get flour? One of the relatively early quests in the Provisions line requires you make dough but I've got no sign of any flour-making crops yet. Should I just grind dirt sifting till I get grass seeds?

As far as spoilage goes, one of the quests in the food page gives you a Freezer that prevents spoilage. For the cobblegen heat problems, make a transfer node and world interaction upgrade. Other thing to know, you can buy more slots with XP. I didn't notice until I had already chosen like ~5 slot unlock quest rewards. The cost scales up with level as you unlock slots, but you can get several extra inventory slots for relatively cheap early on and it makes it a lot less annoying.

I mean, I finally started figuring out how the whole EMC thing works, and I've got a very basic "slowly create diamonds in the blue chest condenser thing" thing set up, so it's not the end of the world if I can't get the infinite dirt back.
