Man, I can see why exploration-focused modpacks are relatively hard to come by. Making one that runs worth a damned is really hard. So many of the big world gen mods are hell on performance.

What's the go to early game power gen method everyone is using? Banks of Survival generators?

Toadsmash posted:

I might just try that. I've been trying and mostly failing at building my own modpack to scratch the exploration itch and I don't think I have the patience for the work involved in doing it right, I'm slowly finding. Grimdark is everything I want and then some if I can make it perform decently on my machine.

What the hell, gliders have durability now? Come on!

what version of minecraft is that

Sexual Aluminum posted:

It's FTB Beyond. I'm playing on the SockCraft Server.

What the hell FTB team.

OpenGliders gliders have durability yes. They have a lot of durability. God forbid you have to spend another six leather and seven iron after a few hours of flight to remake it.

It's probably the mod author's fault, not necessarily the pack creator. Making an unbreakable item take damage is a little above what most pack creators can swing with stuff like MineTweaker.

I wouldn't put it past them though. These are the same people who disabled Quark's vertical ladder placing and who think clay is the best way to tweak "balance."

Let's hope they never see Literal Ascension, then. Vertically-placed ladders made from string? Blasphemy!

that slowpoke guy from ftb posted:

"Deploy ladders downwards": Will remain off, willing to add a separate mod providing this functionality in a slightly more gated way
We're leaving that off due to balance concerns, but we'd be glad to add a mod that puts a slightly higher cost per ladder; similar to what OpenBlock's rope ladder did on 1.7, requiring string: it's a little gate on day one, because you have to go kill some spiders or finding some string in the world, compared to just breaking a few logs for having such an assistance in stuff like exploring ravines and similar deep places with ease. Quark's recipe felt a little bit too easy.

What is a good combination of tech and magic mods that cover all bases (logistics pipes, automated farming, new dimensions) as well as are as integrated into each other as possible? I'm playing survivalcraft 3 right now and scanning things with thaumcraft and them not working is kind of frustrating. Maybe it's just something I have to deal with?

Also lol the pack maker did NOT weight his world gen right. I've been thousands of blocks in every direction and no magical biomes, since there's too much new stuff from biomes o plenty

I regard mechanics like that as just a 'hey, gently caress you, for no good reason' from mod devs.

Is this a default Ender IO thing, or is this from the pack maker?

code:

    # The chance per level of Beheading that a skull will be dropped when using a TiC weapon
    D:ticBeheadingSkullModifier=0.07500000298023224

Because this is making farming wither skeleton skulls really annoying.

Gwyneth Palpate posted:

That looks like a tinker's construct thing.

If you need any kind of mob head, use a Looting III enchanted "The Ender" from Ender IO. You'll be swimming in them.

Meskhenet posted:

And the typical amount is 10% per level (so 5 modifiers will give a 50%)

Your pack, 10 modifiers will give 0.7% chance

LOL

just change it back to 10%

I've also been getting slowdowns in big 1.10.2 modpacks. Flowing water seems to be a major cause of lag. Is there an easy way to disable flowing water in 1.10.2?

lolmer posted:

Quark also has a built-in realistic terrain generator if people want, and everyone should have Quark already installed on Minecraft 1.9+ anyways.

Double Punctuation posted:

Nope, that's in the Ender IO configuration. The Ender is even worse:

code:

    # The base chance that a skull will be dropped when using a powered dark steel sword (0 = no chance, 1 = 100% chance)
    D:darkSteelSwordSkullChance=0.10000000149011612

    # The chance per looting level that a skull will be dropped when using a powered dark steel sword (0 = no chance, 1 = 100% chance)
    D:darkSteelSwordSkullLootingModifier=0.07500000298023224

    # The base chance that a wither skull will be dropped when using a powered dark steel sword (0 = no chance, 1 = 100% chance)
    D:darkSteelSwordWitherSkullChance=0.05000000074505806

    # The chance per looting level that a wither skull will be dropped when using a powered dark steel sword (0 = no chance, 1 = 100% chance)
    D:darkSteelSwordWitherSkullLootingModifie=0.05000000074505806

I can just grow the drat things with bees. In fact, I can grow nether stars with bees. Why does this need a nerf?


It's 7.5% per level. It's not that bad, but it's enough that I'd need to set up a mob grinder to get any significant number of them without power-leveling my Beheader, and gently caress doing that.

This is also computer-generated; the extra digits at the end are because of floating-point rounding errors.

e: lol the config option is misspelled. I bet they hosed up the nerf.

Yeah, but it's not as good, which is a bummer, because stuff it does with the biome dungeons is great. Just not willing to give up my lush RTG vistas and interoperability with Streams. I will keep an eye on it though! I'm sure they'll fix the problems I was having with it (villager buildings cut in half, etc)

It's probably some mod that messed with flowing water. Sound effects, maybe?

So if I am wandering though an area with a claimed chunk, and I fall in a hole, how do I get out? I can't place blocks to climb out, or dig into the side.
