Gwyneth Palpate posted:Skyfactory 3 is a 1.10 skyblock map like agrarian skies, but almost completely without the quest book. It has an achievements book whose challenges you manually mark completed. It is, as "FTB Presents Skyfactory 3". At this point, basically every FTB pack should appear on Curse as well.

Ciaphas posted:I'm probably gonna need the guidance of a quest book at this point to be honest, it's been so long To be honest if you've ever played a skyblock, SF3 isn't going to be anything of a stretch to play. Like I've mentioned previously, largely the 1.10 modspace is direct or slightly updated ports of 1.7 mods. There are a few exceptions to this, ExUtils2 is pretty heavily changed from 1.7 ExUtils, and Blood Magic is an entirely overhauled experience, ala the difference between Thaumcraft major versions. Ex Nihilo Adscensio decoupled meshes from the sieves and different mesh materials get you different outputs but it still functions the same way. Mystical Agriculture is basically Magical Crops remade, Refined Storage is pretty much AE1, Extreme Reactors is Big Reactors, Tinker's Construct has gone through big changes but fundamentally does the same things, etc. Definitely take a look into Chickens, Actually Additions, EnvironmentalTech and Tiny Progressions though.

Im finding SF3 a bit of a challenge as i dont have the oodles of redstone needed to make event he basic power gens (yes i got some in the end, but ive used that on an auto hammer, auto sieves are next) But that aside, im liking it a fair bit. There is no waiting on trees which is think would make every skyblock 1000000% better.

Make inferium plants first, then make the second tier growth crystal, an ender IO farming station, and a completely paper mattock filled with reinforcement upgrades. Use your nigh-infinite font of inferium to make redstone and iron plants.

So ive owned minecraft since like way early alphas, but never put much time into it until now. Or at least not a ton. Looking for a few specific mods: Using 1.9.4 1. Something that "remembers" recipes or shows me what i can build based on what i have. No, not Wikipedia. Something in game. 2. Something that fleshes out underwater. Not necessarily a new biome. Just creatures and plants and such underwater. And scuba diving. 3. Any UI mods that make the interface look nicer.

You probably want to look at 1.7 or 1.10 1.10 has beefier technical spec requirements, but is being actively developed for most mods right now 1.7 was the defacto modded version for a really long time, so there's a pretty huge library available, and lots of kitchen sink modpacks that had a lot of development

Looking for a few specific mods: Using 1.9.4 1: Nothing exists that does exactly this, though NEI(Not Enough Items) and/or JEI(Just Enough items) is a stopgap. They store a list of items in the game you can click on to see the recipes for. The only other option is Applied Energistics 2 or Refined Storage, which allow you to create crafting patterns for what you want that crafts from items stored in the system. This option will require power generation mods though. 2: Only thing that really does this is a mod called Mariculture, unsure if it exists beyond 1.7.10. 3: There isn't really anything that does this, that I've ever seen. Mods can add to the existing framework but the framework seems to be set in stone. The appearance of the UI can be changed with resource packs but these only skin the UI, they can't alter the layout. Another thing is that 1.9.4 is a very, very unsupported version mod-wise. The current mature version of Minecraft for mods is still 1.7.10, and due to issues with how the engine changed from 1.8, and the speed of which 1.9, and 1.10 were released after, most mod authors since skipped 1.8 and 1.9 entirely, going straight to 1.10.

Black Pants posted:Coders are nerds, and x.0 are sacred builds. There's a reason x.0 builds are sacred, usually an x.0 build includes actually fairly earth shatteringly large changes. Like DotA was on 6.xx for the better part of ten years and just recently moved to 7.0, which included the first new character released in several years, a huge swathe of character balance changes, changing the nature of how your character grows as you level during a match, changing the map layout, and adding some very significant new buildings to each team that greatly change how the early and mid game play, as well as retooling the character XP curve so you hit max level something like 20% sooner. Not proselytizing for DotA, just explaining that when I see an x.0 patch that's the kind of scale of changes I expect. They're not always as big as DotA 7.0, but they're generally pretty monumental.

The reasoning for the numbers is because of what each number means. For example, Minecraft 1.10.2: It is Version 1 of the overall program Minecraft. Of that, it has 10 major revisions. And of those, there have been 2 minor revisions to the 1.10 experience.

Yeah usually code releases are sets of separate integers rather than a single decimal, so 1.10.1 > 1.10 > 1.9 'Course then you got jerks like Blizzard who insist version 2.45 < 2.5 to confuse the whole damned thing

I think one quest in the TNFC-EZ pack needs to be changed, the 'Tanning' quest in particular seems to only accept Medium hides which is quite odd since small and large hides can also be used to show the same process, the only difference being how much leather the player's given once the whole process is done.

I suppose it would be possible to oredict each type of hide at every step of the processing chain but just about everything yields medium hide so I didn't think it was that important.

Vib Rib posted:I actually already changed that from its first form as written by the original pack maker -- the quest as it was written required one of each hide. I just set it to medium since those are the most common. I didn't look it up, but I ran into that too, and assumed the hides were completely different items. If that's the case, then HQM isn't going to be able handle the choices regardless. If I were not playing it so much while recovering from some crazy sinus infection, I would have more diligently written down some of the little issues I've seen along the way. There are three things that I thought were a little off. I'd PM them, but I'm actually kind of seeking consensus and extra observations: 1. Something is happening with oak wood in some of the recipes. It's not always taking it for some things. I don't know what the deal is yet though. 2. If possible, it would be nice if the armor quest didn't require exclusively copper. I got to it after I was swimming in bronze, so I had to go out of my way to bang out some copper. 3. IIRC the blast furnace expects ingredients in complete steps, which was frustrating when I was just running through them in a pipeline. So I think it wanted the ingots, then all the double ingots, then the sheets, and then the double sheets. In practice, I was welding ingots as they cooled, banging them down to sheets, and welding them to the next set without pausing in between. Edit: Let's just qualify these come from my sinus-infected head so I may be projecting them from a parallel reality. That's why I hadn't mentioned them until now.

One thing I can't figure out with the new There's this incredibly convoluted method with export nodes paired to import nodes and quantity sensors triggering a redstone cutoff but it's imprecise and prone to runaway if it glitches out. There must be a better way, right? (Playing skyfactory 3, if it's in that modpack I can use it.) Edit: "Refined Storage" is a rework of AE 1, before the crafter changes. In AE1, I can just put a detector under a crafter and have it listen to the redstone signal. I spent a long time on AE 2 so I forgot about that. Too much overthinking! One day I'll get another sheep so I can start wool production for real. Harik fucked around with this message at 01:55 on Feb 1, 2017 |

I've been wanting to ask, what are your favorite "new to mods" experiences? Mine was my first base in technic back just before forestry was removed and mo mobs was in with the block busting ogres or whatever they were called were still in. I had just finished my dirt hut and I was exploring what new weapons I had, and I had accidentally made like 10 spears or daggers or whatever and I was sitting in my dirt hut messing with the chest wondering whats with the 10 kinds of ore and an ogre comes busting in though the wall and breaks the chest I'm using, and the only thing going though my head was "FUUUUUUUUUUCK" and I'm hurling the 10 spears I have at it and it dies. the things going though my head are "I need a new chest, I need a new wall, and I need to go underground". Another experience I had (after mo mobs was gone), I had made my base in the top of a RP2 rubber tree and I had some IC2 stuff going, there was a storm going on and the weather mod was making that whistling high wind noise, I had made my first solar panel and I had just placed it, I turn by back for two seconds and I hear a lighting strike as it had hit close to me and hurt me. I find that my IC2 solar panel I had just made was just obliterated by lighting.

Having that brought up is funny, because people still ask if mods can be included in their pack leading to me seeing a lot of newer devs all confused and saying, 'Well yeah do what you want with it, I made the mod to be played.' My first modded Minecraft experience was Never Stop Toasting Lite in.. 1.6.4? I'm not sure why I never really touched modding before that but it might've been due to the fact that previous to it, the only time I did any modding it was opening minecraft.jar and copying the files of some minimap mod into it. A friend invited me to a server he was playing, and he had done some Thaumcraft and had a Hoe of Growth. Which he gave to me, leading to me crafting what was basically a Yggdrasil out of thousands of regular trees. Nothing very dramatic but it had everyone else all 'What the gently caress have you done!?'
