Saw that one of the early quests in Sevtech needed parrots. Wandered far and wide for jungle, nothing. Installed a Biome Finder mod (Nature's Compass). Searched Jungle, Jungle Hills, Jungle Edge, Jungle M, etc. No results within a radius of 10,000 blocks.  Guess I'll just cheat them in.

I'm just getting started in age 1, but I will say this about SevTech Ages: When you find an ore vein, it is enough to last for a very long time. This is a Teallite (Tin) deposit. It's 8 blocks high, 9 wide and 17 long (based on a bit of digging). That's roughly 1200 tin ore... Also, I've never thought much of horses before but they are a legit way to travel. I managed to find a jump 1.6 speed 3.1 horse and it seems to be better than 95% of everything else. I haven't looked up the numbers on the wiki to see what the absolute best is, yet. I may see myself getting into minecraft horse breeding... e. has anyone had luck getting Animalium bears to spawn? I just need 1 more claw for the bear claw paxel but I can't find any more. e2. and of course i get one to spawn just after posting this. thanks, random gods. e3. i wonder what loving mod is making animals run away if I place a block. Certainly makes penning them in a lot harder. e4. I do love whatever mod lets me repair stone pickaxes with cobblestone in the 2x2 grid. No crafting endless pickaxes.. just use the same one ~forever~. Ambaire fucked around with this message at 00:41 on Mar 27, 2018 |

Wow. I just discovered a feature in SevTech Ages that I think is undocumented. You can sneak-rclick on various stuff, chests, furnaces, machines, and you'll pick it up preserving the contents and can set it down elsewhere. You can pick up and move barrels full of water, too.

This is from Carry On. It is in MSB2 and MSB3, as well. It works great for animals, but adult buffalo are too large. This was irritating when I was still in Age 0, and the only way to corral animals was to put them in a two-high pit. I'd break the walls to lead a buffalo into a kill chamber, and the other animals would freak the gently caress out and run around.

For everyone playing Sevtech you probably want to open the Abyssalcraft config and turn off random shoggoth spawning in the overworld. It's one thing to unleash the local destruction of an ominous cavern leading into the ground. It's another thing to roll a double gently caress-you and have a random spawn of shoggoths turn Or I guess you can do the "correctly playing minecraft" thing and never ever let it be night-time. EDIT: Important correction. Shoggoths no longer destroy blocks in this version of abyssalcraft. TheBlandName fucked around with this message at 03:36 on Mar 27, 2018 |

I never saw a shoggoth around on land in the overworld. I had to go searching for one of the dens, and it took a while.  Probably not as long as it would have taken for me to find a parrot, if I had bothered.

Gwyneth Palpate posted:For those of you playing SevTech, here's a stumbling point that I overcame that might save you some trouble. Early into Age 1 you'll be instructed to make a dowsing rod for finding ores. There's no documentation on these things, but after asking some folks I found out that they way they work is they measure in a straight line 32 blocks away, only one block wide. They aren't like the prospector's picks from TFC where the search area is a cube. In order to find ore, you need to go to the depth that the achievement (or Prospector's book) indicates, and test the floor and ceiling all over in the area to find where the ore is. To add to this, I asked someone in the discord and they said the number the rod returns is the number of ore blocks in that line. Suddenly stuff started making a lot more sense.

You're definitely getting more material out of the building than you put in, but the mod adds 'compressed' recipes for a bunch of stuff like stone and bricks, so a given blueprint for the factory for example is like 800 odd smooth stone and a bunch of paper and lamps and stuff. It's cheaty if you turned around and harvested the buildings for materials but that's not my plan so yeah. I just wanted to have more of a pre-made layout.

Okay, I need help again because I'm still not great with Botania. Here's my current setup:  I need to start making terrasteel, which seems to need a poo poo-ton of mana. What's the easiest way to up my managen? More endoflames?

Waaaay more endoflames. Also use a Mana Splitter with a Mana Pool on each side, and point your Mana Spreaders at the splitter itself, which will evenly distribute the mana to each of the pools, allowing you to store more. Make sure you have a spreader per 8 or so endoflames, btw. Also unless you plan to leave them going while you afk for several days, you'll need a more proactive fuel source than a few hopping bonsais.

My primo suggestion is a TiCon Lumber Axe with Auto-Smelt (and if the pack has it, a tool part with Global Traveler) which you will then take to giant jungle trees. The problem with bonsai trees is that they output a lot of sticks and leaves (and apples if you're using oak) that will be useless for you and clog up an auto-furnace setup.

Yeah, I did this (didn't check the global traveler part, don't think we have it open though) but I recommend using 2x2 spruce saplings instead of jungle, since they're a bit less mess to deal with and tend to drop more saplings consistently. At this stage saplings just happen to be extra dirt for you too if you get extra, so don't forget about that. you can do a pressure plate / dropper setup to semi-automate endoflames too, which was relatively easy, but did break from time to time for me and needed to be reset. Long story short though you just need a bunch of endoflames. I did 36.

You can use a single 1x1 storage drawer as a simple filter with a hopper underneath, you just put one wood in the drawer, lock it and then put the hopping bonsai on top and from then on it'll only pull wood from the bonsai tree. You then put one on top of a furnace, one on the side and get infinite (if slow) charcoal. I think I had 50 of those going early MSB3 to get my diamond production going.

I really admire how smooth and sensible the progression in Sevtech is. It's slow going but every stage flows logically into the next. Basic wood, fiber, and flint -> Stone tools -> Competency in woodworking/stoneworking -> Animal husbandry and animal-powered simple machines -> Discovery of ore, metals -> Delve into the reality-bending nest of Shoggoths to steal the statue of an elder god and listen to its dark whispers -> metalworking It all kinda works as you'd expect, surprisingly down to earth. Also for anyone who's setting out to the "hunt shoggoths" part of Age 1 and like me thinks maybe a bow would help, do not actually fight the Baykok. Other than being your standard bad Minecraft bossfight (it's not even a boss, just a skeleton with 200 health and rapid fire that a stone shield can't defend against), it appears the Baykok quest is actually broken and though he drops a bow with arrows you can't actually use them. This looks like a bug people are aware of but as far as I can tell no fix has been pushed yet.

I killed them by abusing the fact that Minecraft is a game that allows you to pick up and place blocks, and made murderholes in the sides of their cave to ineffectually tickle them with a stone sword. The latest patch fixes the Baykok thing, but if it's still stuck for you, turn cheats on and type /gamestage add Playername baykok

Okay what's wrong with my alchemical fusion table? It consumes more ingredients than it should and leaves phantom items in the GUI. From what I can tell it seems to be a huge bug with how it's coded, where it uses the catalyst yield efficiency for the ingredients rather than the catalyst.

Phantom items in the GUI are intended, it lets you set a hopper or something like that. The efficiency should be both the ingredients and the catalyst.

The phantom ingredients are just the list of the last stuff put in there; it only accepts items pumped into it that you've placed in there manually. And yes the alchemical table is supposed to use the catalyst yield numbers. Primus alchemy dust is 75%, so you get 75% of an output for each set of inputs. The amount of output you get is based on the recipe though. Unless I'm misunderstanding what you are saying?
