Eox posted:Is it possible to prevent players from processing ores/alloys until they unlock it, but still allow them to use parts they find in chests? Sevtech used the recipe gating method too - as you step into new "Ages" it unlocks a bunch of new recipes. It lags quite a bit when that happens, so you have to key it off something that would be happening in the base, like crafting. I'd imagine it's possible to remove the TiCon-smelter alloying, and require the player to craft alloys via combining powders - and then simply disable the 'electrum blend' recipe until you want them to have electrum. You could have a mid-tier unlock of Thermal Expansion induction smelter to give them all the two-metal recipes, then have a final-tier unlock of Ender IO alloy smelter to unlock all the three-metal recipes.

Devor posted:For FTB Sky Adventures skyblock, what's a good next step for energy generation if I have a few million EMC to work with? I'm running magmatic dynamos off of crucible lava right now, but I think it doesn't scale up to multiple-EnvironmentalTechs-worth of power particularly well. The EnvirinmentalTech solar panels are actually pretty drat good. My T4 with the T4 solar cells is well outstripping my extreme reactor and turbine for production, something like 100 krf/tick where my lone maxed out turbine is at ~26krf/tick. For power storage/transferring, flux networks are amazing, and you can actually hook them up to the ic2 power storages to run your ic2 machines. Not sure if you have to limit the input power on those, I haven't taken any chances and do anyway as I'd rather not have my mfsu explode or something.

It would mean taking the slag and such from previous steps and take another shot at them through the same or different infrastructure.

I remember doing this - the first half of the progression tree is pretty straightforward, until you get into some of the more advanced materials like osmiridium.

Are there modpacks that specifically center around one major mod (e.g. Thaumcraft, Botania) with some supplementary stuff? I know of Garden of Glass, but everything else seems to be very kitchen sink. Also, any suggestions for structures out in the world? Only one I've really found was this.

Roguelike Dungeons adds, well, mob and loot filled dungeons, if you are looking at the combat aspect of things. Most of the mod packs made by the person who did MSB3 are centered around a single mod, but they're all skyblock packs.

She hasn't played in a few years so it would be neat to see the various new things without dumping a pile of bullshit on her lap. Any packs that showcase cool newish mods without going into the weeds of progression? Without being the lagfest that are kitchen sink packs?

Guys, I’ve made 5 alvearies  Can’t wait to delve into Nuclearcraft for the first time. Yogscast was making it look interesting in their ATM LP. Powergen’s probably gonna knock the pants off my measly steam turbine being fed by 6 solar towers in E2:ES. Might even be able to run the IE Excavator full-time...

Vib Rib posted:I must be missing something obvious but it feels like 99% of this pack is just laboriously checking every page and tab of JEI to work backwards from every ingredient you need until you finally find the one recipe you're meant to use to progress. Early on it's relatively obvious, checking recipes for copper will find that it can be smelted from compressed sand. But almost anything more complex than that seems like the entire challenge is navigating JEI. Yeah, I would appreciate even a barebones quest book or sevtech-style achievements UI with "okay now make this next," even if it didn't tell you how to do it. Right now I'm spending most of my time just trying to figure out what I can do next.

I'm plugging the Monkly mod in Direwolf's last couple updates again - it uses the achievement tab to guide you through a series of quests to unlock new abilities. Start by punching a block of wood from a tree with an open hand (NOT a quest book) and your first quest will unlock. Quest progress gets tracked by a little doodad in the lower right. You end up moving really fast, have step-up, and eventually can unlock creative flight once you reach The End, while having some other cool abilities like giving your fists/non-tool filled hands the ability to mine as fast as stone / iron tools, and ignore arrows fired at your front. Sometimes the abilities get a little buggy on unlock (like stone mining speed) and you have to quit/re-enter your world to get it to work.

I’m thinking Thaumcraft might be a better fit for a “magical artificer” than Embers. Apparently it’s more of a magical secrets type mod? Also baubles and that cool gauntlet.

Both mods are a little obscure on how to make a fancy automated setup Embers is a little simpler once you figure it out, but that also means there's less fun stuff to automate Thaumcraft has (or had?) integration with other fun mods like Applied Energistics you may or may not be using Thaumcraft has more gameplay to it - scanning objects, different crafting things with cauldron, imbuing, etc, and definitely has more 'rewards' in the form of cool baubles and tools. If you're making a mod pack around just one magic mod, it should be Thaumcraft and not Embers

Devor posted:Both mods are a little obscure on how to make a fancy automated setup Revolving around a single magic mod makes sense, but I don't want it to be just that mod - it's partly about literally being an Artificer, and partly about a collection of one large and many small mods that work well together. Case in point: the mod pack also has /dank/null, Mining Dimension, Simple Storage Network, and Tinkers Construct. I also want to add in mods that add different dimensions and maps and stuff, too - the kinds of things you'd expect to see in your adventuring as an Artificer. There's a degree of wiring and pruning I'd have to do between all the mods, too...which is not an insignificant amount of work. But yeah, Embers and Thaumcraft would compete too much. I'll probably save Embers for like, The Dwarf or something instead.

Thaumcraft (the current one, TC6) is absolutely magictech artificer. Even moreso than previously, with the golem crafting bench and the kinda more scientific-ish way things are written/done, though it doesn't have the Thaumcraft 4 mod integration yet. But that's absolutely started!

jack_squat posted:Guys, I’ve made 5 alvearies I felt NC's fission reactors were fairly underwhelming - they offered more power gen than an immersive steam turbine, but burned through fuel too quickly for my liking. It wasn't until I got up to the fusion reactor that I saw real value. I was running a size 2 hydrogen-hydrogen reaction, 100% cooled, and was hitting ~350k RF/t iirc. The best part was that it ran entirely off one kitchen sink and two electrolyzers with three speed upgrades each. I also ended up building a second reactor with a deuterium-tritium reaction but never checked its power output, since I already had more than enough, and only built it for the neutron fluid. You'll definitely want to make sure you've got a decent amount of RF storage (I used a mekanism induction matrix but resonant energy cells with Holding IV can store 750m RF), and I'd recommend using cryo-stabilized fluxduct to bring the reactor online - takes a matter of seconds to warm up instead of minutes.

Not sure if it will be exactly what you're looking for, but I'll be releasing a new Progress in a few days. It won't necessarily be the newest mods, but it's centered around botania, and astral sorcery on the magic side, and IE/thermal suite/AE on the tech side. It's made to be a relatively light modpack, and it'll have quests that help guide a player through the start of the central mods.

It's somewhat of a kitchen sink (we're at 140 mods and possibly adding more, I went into making it with the intention of keeping it under 100. A fair number of the mods are smallish QoL ones though...) Anyway, DPT6 is a lot more freeform than 5 was and has some neat mod integrations based on scripting I stole from the previous Progress pack. We have a quest book that provides a little structure in a big world with cool landforms. Big tentpole feature mods: Immersive Engineering, Thermal Expansion, The Betweenlands, and Thaumcraft 6. Astral Sorcery shows up too.

I was thinking of doing all my power wiring with integrated dynamics cables since the power transfer limit is supposed to be ungodly high, but cryo-stabilized fluxduct definitely has more of a beefy, dangerous look to it. Now I just have to get a netherrack gen set up. Turns out the only way to get all the Nuclearcraft metals in this modpack is Ex Nihilo sifting or the deep dark, and I’m nowhere near having the ingredients for a deep dark portal!

New base coming along nicely. First vertical stack is water to Oxygen > Rotary Condensentrator, water to Hydrogen > Rotary Condensentrator > RS Storage Second is Lithium Dust > Lithium Gas > Rotary Condensentrator > RS Storage Third is Heavy Water > Deuterium > Rotary Condensentrator > RS Storage (I find spreading the production out helps with lag)  Starting from the far bottom is my Heavy Water production, then it's Liquid Lithium > Rotary Condensentrator > Gaseous Lithium > Solar Neutron Activator > Rotary Condensentrator > RS Storage  It makes 500 buckets of Liquid Tritium per second. Almost ready to use my Mekanism fusion reactor as my current power demands are experiencing brownouts.
