Yeah, you can just make the spawn area one block taller to spawn endermen, but they'll teleport away as soon as they hit the water channel. Would using liquid crystal prevent endermen from teleporting away?

MaliciousOnion posted:Yeah, you can just make the spawn area one block taller to spawn endermen, but they'll teleport away as soon as they hit the water channel. Maybe, maybe not. Endermen are just irritating to deal with in a mob drop tower, so it's best to just avoid using them entirely until you have reliable dispatch methods (spikes) and a way to move items (itemducts obviously.)

OK I took all the advice here and had another crack at Botania as I'll probably need the item duplication thing at some point: I used minecarts to grab wood using locked drawers to filter out the crap like leaves and saplings. The carts then drop wood on to my endoflames and then the mana is distributed across the setup. Apart from needing to reset the carts now and then I'd say it's 90% self sufficient and once I get some kind of pipes and redstone wire it'll do nicely. Thanks pals!

Not for nothin', but I'm really enjoying Factory Tech as far as a fairly early-game, self-sustained tech mod goes. It's very manual at first, but I can see how you'd be able to automate a lot of it with clever stuff. If nothing else it's kind of neat to have something that doesn't need an RF infrastructure, just replacement parts.

It makes the mobs drop a stupid amount of reliquary items which can be crafted in to an even more obscene amount of basic mats and cool Reliquary trinkets. Uh yeah holy poo poo. I got a weird helmet with Loot 203 on it...and I killed an enderman and got 15 of those reliquary drops.

Hey Vib Rib, I love your Technodefirmacraft EZ pack! It's the perfect pacing and lack of bullshit. I *so* wish other modpacks outright told you which pathways are a waste of time to pursue instead of expect you to parse it out from the wall of NEI items. I'm at the stage where I'm trying to build a IE crusher but it requires 4 diamonds. The guidebook says you can only find those with Kimberlite ore (so sluice and sifting is out of the question) but the layers for that are sedimentary and igneous extrusive which is...basically everywhere? Are you supposed to just luck out and hope you stumble upon it on the surface?

No, in general. Evolved endermen pop up like loving weeds regardless of light levels and they're just noisy as hell and constantly in the way.

The answer to "how do I find this ore" in TFC is to find the right rock type on the top layer then run around with the prospector's pick until you get a reading of the ore you're looking for. There is basically no other solution since tunnel mining is slow and hazardous.

Yeah, make a big netherrack platform but it's still gonna take a while.  Gwyneth Palpate posted:Yeah, Botania has a poorly documented feature where you can place a "Fel Pumpkin" on top of two iron bars (think like you're making a snow golem) and it'll spawn a blaze. However, the blaze only drops blaze powder, not the rods. It's a feature for Botania's built-in Garden of Glass skyblock mode. This is pretty useless for MSB3 since blaze powder is one of the first things you can make. Shiiit, forgot about that. Falcon2001 fucked around with this message at 02:17 on Mar 24, 2018 |

I'm playing the new FTB Pyramid map. It's pretty fun, but short. I've only played it for a few hours, and I'm already nearly finished (unless it unlocks a new set of quests like the old feed the beast map did.) I've had to dig pretty deep to figure out how to progress, since it doesn't explicitly lay it out for you. I've already broken progression twice, too.

So, yes. Also, no, no new Blightfall, sorry. There's Forever Stranded/Forever Stranded:Lost Souls for non-skyblock progressiony story-ish things though.

The design philosophy was "give me something that I (Sevadus) can play on stream for 6 months", sooo unless there's an easy mode (I don't think there's an easy mode yet) it might be on the grindy side for the end game stuff.
