Forever Stranded: Lost Souls seems like it does something interesting with Infernal Mobs in that they start out being barely more powerful than regular mobs but scale up as you progress. You don't get bullshit to death from the get-go like you did in, say, Blast Off.

You're going to be chopping trees down for hours anyway, might as well make it not take quite as long. It would go well with Progressive Automation as well, since you could slap it in a farming block and not have to worry about it breaking. Good news, FTB Pyramid gives you unbreakable tools immediately.

The concept is neat of turning RF into items directly but I got stalled out when the second question wouldnt complete. I stuck a furnace generator in the quest chest and a big fat nothing happened. Tried it a couple times on multiple sides of the pyramid. Oh well.

I'm totally loving this pack, it's exactly what I was looking for. Curious if I'm doing anything wrong with my bloomery; the wiki says you can expand it up two layers but it doesn't seem to accept more than 16 despite the height (the rest "float" above the coal block):

What are some major mods since 1.7.10 that have become very commonplace and influential? I know to factor in Actually Additions, and I wonder if I should be thinking about Draconic Evolution because y'all kept talking about it.

Well, Draconic Evolution hasn't really changed a whole lot since 1.7.10, so I doubt it qualifies in terms of "mods that entered the fray after 1.7.10." It is a perennial closer, though. Thinking on it, I'd say that the new thermal expansion probably qualifies, even though it was present in earlier versions of Minecraft. The way the mod works is pretty different, even if it has a bunch of the old machines, and it has a ton of new ones and new ways to use them as well. Astral Sorcery is also brand new, and it seems to be working its way into a lot of packs lately. Embers, too, though Embers doesn't really seem to have a lot of point to it other than "it's cool to shoot fire beams around to do stuff."

Canola is the dumbest, fps killing poo poo that doesn't even give good rf/t for the effort, its internal crafting systems are awkward, and lens of the miner is the most broken auto mining thing to ever exist. It's the cheapest rf/t, cheapest resource cost upfront, and destroys your fps as well. Literally can go from starting the game to infinite ore in under 3 hours with AA. I guess if you disable half the mod it has a bunch of cool blocks and tools.

It is a perennial closer, though. Okay I should qualify maybe more like "came to its own possibly in 1.7.10 and kept up past that to the point it shows up in many modpacks." It could have even been around in 1.6.8 in some obscure or unknown form. To show my hand, I'm figuring out what I should have for a BFSR 1.12 modlist. Nobody get excited because I have been pecking at this forever, but I'm glad to see Galacticraft move up. Now I can at least make a fairly uniform migration. I got nowhere with Embers; I just had to deal with a bunch of golems when I tried Modern Skyblock and that's about as far as it got. I really don't know what that pack even does. It also appears to have a "no longer maintained" thing up on Curseforge. Did the Astral Sorcery dude unbutthurt themselves of Thaumcraft and decide to continue to support it? Immersive Engineering is another one that might have been around for awhile but I didn't really hear about it until post-1.7.10. I see the complaints about it but it appears to be a regular intermediate step throw into other progression-based challenge packs. I intend to add in Botania because I kind of missed it the first time around. Pam's Harvestcraft is going in since a lot of packs put in a hunger mod. I'm thinking of adding one that is only toggled on for the player after a certain point in a quest book about food. I don't know if that's possible. Finally, the Prefab mod is the perfect thing for a tutorial pack to just set down a pretty little place and get straight to it. Khorne posted:Mods that should go away and never come back: Actually Additions. I'm fine with that. However, going post-scarcity within 3 hours is hardly a trait of just one pack. I think it was fairly typical in the past with Mekanism to hit the digital miner in two hours if you have a deadline.

Other way around, it was the Embers guy who exploded over Thaumcraft, hence the no longer supported sign. Astral sorcery is a different person, either always or is now, and is still supported afaik.

Isn't Roots the one that, every tick, checks your name and entire inventory, and if you have the right name and right item it gives you basically mod powers on the server?

Yeah, when you think about Botania like the tech mod it is, it makes sense why they started killing off the passive flowers. Newbies (like me when I first got into it) see 'free mana' and beeline straight for it, even though setting up a mana system using just dayblooms would be like setting up your power system using only 5RF/t survivalist generators, when it's much more effort-efficient to make a few coal generators (endoflames), culinary generators (gourmaryllis), or what have you.

If I ran a server I'd disable lens of the miner but otherwise keep the mod.

Did you move your mana spreader? They'd need to be re bound to it with the wand if you did, which might be why they aren't emptying.

Look at the flower while holding a wand of the forest. Right click it to make the HUD update. If it has a mana spreader icon with a red X on it, that means it isn't properly bound to a spreader. Either use shift-right click to start linking it to a spreader, or make a floral obedience stick to mass-bind all generating flowers in the area to the spreader at once.

botania doesn't have every single number thrown at you but it's set up in a way where you don't need it to. things are really easy to set up and automate, and the passive mana flowers were pretty awful compared to just making even a single endoflame, which were even lowered in cost once the passives were removed to make them better work as starter mana generators.

If you add a mod to an existing world that provides new ores, those ores will show up when new chunks are generated, right? So I would just have to venture far enough away for overworld ores, and new nether ores would be present when I get around to going there? I only started this game last night, so it wouldn’t be a huge loss to start over. But I haven’t gone very far, either, so it shouldn’t be too far for new chunks.

Beyond what others have said, you might not have had enough spreaders. It looks like a regular spreader can only manage somewhere around eight endoflames, and even that's dependent on what's eating the mana up on the other end and how far apart your spacing the spreaders. runchild posted:If you add a mod to an existing world that provides new ores, those ores will show up when new chunks are generated, right?

If you want to be Fancy McFancyPants, you can use Orespawn or CoFH World to specify the new ores with retrogen and shut them off from their original mod. I think Nether Metals is the new Nether Ores--I'm figuring out how closely it corresponds--and that is build on Orespawn, so you might already have retrogen.

I gave up on Nether Metals and End Metals last night because they require Base Metals, and I didn’t want all those extra ores or the copies of Forestry’s Tin and Copper (even with InstantUnify converting as soon as they’re mined). I guess it might be possible to turn off the Base Metals I don’t want in MMD OreSpawn’s config? I’m thinking I ought to just use Ore Core instead. Then I can replace Dense Metals & Simple Gravel Ores* and add the experience ores I was thinking about but couldn’t find. *Didn’t seem to be working anyways runchild fucked around with this message at 20:34 on Mar 16, 2018 |

Actually Additions definitely has some good stuff. Portable crafting tables, some fun worldgen structures, rice, flax plants for string, and whatnot. I'm also deeply infatuated with the ESD and its item lasers -- they are super useful at automating weird machines since ESDs can target specific inventory slots. The lasers are also super useful for gluing together random inventories -- an item interface acts as a combined insert or extract point for every inventory point connected by laser. However, I also get that AA is terrible for performance. For example, I used LagGoggles to profile my MSB3 base, and the ESD that is filtering mob drops from my mob spawner is taking up an order of magnitude more tick time than any other block in my base.

AA also has a secret mechanic that will convert any item into another random item. That seems kind of broken to me.
