No one would probably want to do that if they’re jut playing a game, but lots of LPers would love to have a dumb thing to do they can then turn into a subject to fill air time with and a meme.

There's quite a few little widgets that are grindy and optional, for a small quality of life bonus. Journeymap is the same way -- you can grind out a very expensive item in Age 2 to unlock journeymap, but you also just get it for free by pushing into Age 4.

It's kind of surprising me how playable Sevtech Ages is on 4GB of memory, once you disable smooth fonts, better foliage, and mo' bends, at least in age 0. Especially smooth fonts...that's been identified on reddit at the largest memory-eater.

Speaking of, I like a lot of things about the various detail mods integrated into the modpack, and I mentioned before they illustrate how easily Minecraft could make itself prettier without much work. Better foliage isn't as big a performance hit as I expected and the particle mod that makes all particles into actual 3D voxels is a surprisingly good improvement. My biggest problem is Mo'bends -- specifically with spiders. Even though it looks good it makes spiders harder to hit than ever, especially cave spiders. They've always had bad hitboxes but this turns it into an outright joke and getting hit by a dozen tiny spiders is not very fun.

Could not hit them at all with a melee weapon. Regular spiders was just a matter of getting the timing down. That being said, I love Mo'bends and would not disable it for anything. Spiders feel appropriately spidery now. Also, regarding the Twilight Forest maze secret treasure safe: I found that one can break maze blocks with about 20 seconds of hitting them with a quartz AIOT. If you tunnel into the center of the 3x3 treasure thing at the bedrock ceiling, you can safely get in there without triggering the pressure plates.

As long as I'm complaining about mods, most of Astral Sorcery's guidebook is trying way too hard to be written "diegetically" and in-character and suffers from clarity a lot. I still don't know what a tree beacon does and any number of other things just use vague descriptions like "focuses the power of liquid starlight" but doesn't say to what purpose or via what mechanics. At least Thaumcraft usually had a plain language mechanical description after its fluff.Ambaire posted:Also, regarding the Twilight Forest maze secret treasure safe: I found that one can break maze blocks with about 20 seconds of hitting them with a quartz AIOT.

I made a tree farm with Botania and Thaumcraft 6! Golems do the chopping and sapling delivery to the Rannuncarpus. The hopperhock is filtered to only pick up wood. No mana costs at all. Now I just need to figure out how best to make charcoal out of the wood and deliver it to my endoflames. Golem-based transport is certainly possible. Due to how seals work the golems in the wood farm won't be distracted by any seals I have outside the enclosure, so long as I designate the seal areas so they don't overlap the enclosure. Because of the overlap issue I had to use four Collect seals here to avoid overlapping the area around the Rannuncarpus the golem dumps saplings on. Otherwise it gets stuck in a loop picking up and putting down the saplings. Seals are a vastly superior method of controlling golems, I have to say. Only problem is you can't plant more than one sapling per Use seal, so a tree farm this size would require somewhere around a stack of Use seals. A pure Thaumcraft tree farm is going to have to use greatwood saplings, simply because the wood-to-sapling ratio is very high. Edit: LOL the trees grow way too fast for the chopper golem to keep up, I need to scale this back. Or switch to birch I guess. Edit2: Dammit the Empty seal has no area to select. No idea what its range is. I'm guessing it's just whatever visual range golems have. McFrugal fucked around with this message at 01:55 on Apr 7, 2018 |

In Sevtech I just spent a couple hours grinding out screw pumps and gear boxes / axles so I could lift water up to my base's z level and then aqueduct it the 50 or so blocks from the sea. Except it turns out the Better with Mods screw pump doesn't create a water block that is recognized by the Better with Addons aqueduct, despite them being in the same mod family. Am I missing something here? It seems like lifting the water first would be one of the only ways anyone would even bother with the aqueduct. Am I supposed to run it underground from the sea and then lift it up? That seems a stupidly unintuitive solution to a problem created by removing infinite water in the name of realism.

BWM and BWA are made by two different mod authors. They don't necessarily collaborate. You probably don't want to hear this after having spent so much time on it, but just push through to age 2, which gets you a clay bucket for moving source blocks (as well as access to the Water Sigil from blood magic, if you swing that way.) In the interim, what helped me was to just move my wooden basin out to a platform over an infinite water source location, and do all my mixing there.

Tinkers construct has EFLN, which is a spammable mining explosive that digs a spherical area 9 blocks across. Alternately, for LARGE, Abyssalcraft Oblivion Deathbombs. Or just detonate a DracEv reactor.

Gwyneth Palpate posted:SevTech is starting to slow down for me. I got to Age 4, but am running into several as-yet-unfixed bugs. The biggest bug is that there's no way to legitimately acquire Certus Quartz. There's a Geolysis vein for "assorted quartz," but it only ever drops nether quartz. Silk touching it yields nether quartz blocks. Since you need fluix to make an AE2 inscriber to progress, I'm stuck until the bug is fixed (or I cheat in a bunch of certus.) There are also blocks in the End with the pink and black checkered texture that crash Minecraft if you look at them up close (WAILA throws a NPE on what I'm guessing is an unimplemented block.) I might put SevTech away for a bit until the bugs are fixed.

Although I use MultiMC to create my own instances (create the same minecraft version, then just copy the instance folder from Twitch to MultiMC) just so I can have cyberage conveniences like desktop shortcuts. It also makes the installation more stable in exchange of losing auto-updates since sometimes that breaks things.

CurseTwitch has a few major benefits over the Technic launcher. First and foremost is easy, lazy differential updates. Technic may have done it first with Solder, but Solder's a giant pain in the rear end to set up and run, while CurseTwitch is easy. The other major benefit is that it doesn't nuke your options or mods you install on top of the pack when you do an update, unlike non-Solder packs on Technic.

McFrugal posted:Does the Alfheim portal not consume mana passively anymore? The book no longer mentions this, only a per-transaction cost. Correct; the running cost was removed, and the per-transaction cost was its replacement. You still need a decent chunk of mana to wrench it open, but after that it just sits there, devouring your TPS for no reason, until you throw something in. Also, if you run out of mana, it'll just hold on to whatever you've put in safely until you give it more.

I need help with anstral sorc. I am up to a celestial alter, but dont have nearly enough starlight to now craft anything. I have set up 8 spectral relays (had 4) in a circle about the altar. The middle of the relay is 10 blocks from the altar. Is that too far? (i have placed the AS glass lens's in the relays.) It may also be something with my game as i finsihed last night being 100% unable to turn iron ore into starmetal ore. A problem that fixed itself when i loaded today as the ore block turned within a few seconds, and i was able to do a couple of blocks.

At the celestial stage, location and height are your biggest contributors. Use the resonator to find a patch that's both foggy and starry, and then build up to like y=240 and make your altar there. Should get you almost all the recipes you need at least until iridescent, at which point relays/lenses might help -- but if you want real boosts I think you're expected to redirect celestial collector crystals via lenses.

You don't need to build up to y240 if that's inconvenient, but you do need it on the starfield correctly. Once you can make floating crystals you can use them to boost the star power too by linking them to the altar. Note: the stats of the rock crystal you use to make the floating crystal with affect its output, and the blue crystals are, on average, far superior to regular ones. Also if you have relays too close to each other they'll have diminishing returns. And they need to be within.. 16 blocks of the altar I think?

The y-level bonus of an altar caps out at 120. Relays also interfere with each other if they are too close; four of them, one in each cardinal direction, works for me.

I think i just have a super sucky area for it. There is nothing in the sky, and being a skyblock i cant just run around till i find something. I ended up with about 10 floating crystals through a lens, and even that was a waste. I think im over the pack though, and im barely through it.

You can just connect the crystals directly to the altar. This avoids the lens diminishing the starlight via lack of purity/cutting. Usually a max size crystal shining directly on the altar is enough to craft the stuff you need before going for the blue ones max size
