Sheesh, turning off mobgriefing is pretty much required when playing MSB3 isn't it? Evolved Endermen will grab your blocks just as much as regular ones. On a side note I found out mobs will walk off of ladders just like trapdoors. Don't leave a ladder on the side of your mob drop platform/tower unless you want a creeper showing up unannounced.

I mean, is your entire platform dirt? Dirt and plants are about the only thing endermen can pick up. That being said, I kept having them steal the dirt blocks for my Twilight Forest portal, shutting it off and spilling water everywhere.  Fortunately I'd placed an RFTools teleport receiver thinger in the TF, so I didn't have to waste another dragonstone.

SevTech: Ages is out, and just messing around it seems pretty neat so far. It's quest-based through the achievement system, and items are locked out based on progression. This is all you start with, but things seem to unlock pretty quickly.  Early tip: you need feathers and ink sacs early on for villager trades, since that's the only way to get farmable dirt or the antique atlas so far. But if you find farmed dirt in the world, you can still use it like that; you just can't till it yourself.

It feels a lot like Gregtech in the respect that it throws a massive monkey wrench into the early game and even the most basic mechanics don't work the way you're used to them working.

I actually really like that MSB3 doesn't change recipes much, it makes making your way through mods a lot easier. Are there any mods for 1.12 that build structures? Like a room...building...wand or something like that?

Is there a way to get Journeymap's patreon screen to stop showing up every time I launch minecraft? It's getting annoying. I remember it used to stop showing up after the first time, now it shows up every time. If this trend continues there's going to be a patreon button in the goddamn UI.

Devor posted: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. I don't understand how normal people play modpacks without cheating. I'm currently unemployed and feel overwhelmed by RPGs which advertise 80+ hours to complete, but each of the dozens of modpacks out there easily outclasses that.

Because modpacks are not necessarily well-paced or well-balanced experiences for everyone. For example I gave Agrarian Skies 1 a fair shake at first but grew increasingly frustrated at constantly falling to my death because I was busy looking upwards. I cheated by giving myself an infinite stack of half-slabs, a builder's wand, and turned on creative. It was much more fun after I staked out a large platform on there. I had a lot more fun with the modpack after that because I spent my time figuring out clever ways of creating resource assembly lines rather than literal hours sifting and hammering.

I played for about an hour, whereupon I got a kiln and fire grate going, as well as over a dozen counts of wolf murder. I was accosted by a "Karate Zombie" wearing a karate gi one night, but he was only a white belt so I wasn't very scared.

Sevtech reminds me a bit of Serious Remnants. Way more polished though. All this epak of MSB3 has gotten me to drop PO2 in favor of it. It's hard playing in 1.7.2 with all the qol changes made in MC proper. Can't wait to see similar modpacks in 1.13

I think I've only cheated twice so far in my MSB3 world, first was that loving sapling quest where you have to fish out one of every tree sapling, that was very close to me rage uninstalling the pack. The second was Botania where I threw a stack of iron in to the elven portal and somehow only got one elven steel back (I think I spammed "Q" too quick).

Did you throw manasteel or regular iron? Also, your mana pools with pylons on them fuel the portal's trades -- if they are empty, your trades will be in limbo. Try filling up both the pools a bit -- I bet the elementium will start popping.

Running almost any 1.10 or later pack on less than 5 is almost begging for trouble, and most can use 6. SevTech is bigger than average as it is, so it's no exception.

It's a slider. Just let it do its thing at 6. If you can afford to allocate 6, it's a good idea. Wouldn't recommend it unless you have at least 16 system RAM, though. On 8GB, the OS alone uses too much to be able to allocate 6 of it to MC. Sadly, you can still expect to run into garbage collection freezes the farther you go blow 6, though. Modded MC was literally the reason I upgraded my PC to 16.

Am I the only one who finds Astral Sorcery to be interesting and neat, but ultimately WAY too obscure? The neat magicky talk basically gets in the way of figuring out wtf is actually going on. Having to constantly check wiki pages to see what these things actually do when there's an in-game book feels irritating.
