Ambaire posted:Or just get the stepup mod like I do and have that 'ability' for free. One block stepup really should be vanilla, at this point... Terraria has it natively and it's a huge help. Am I confused at what stepup is, because I thought there is one block stepup in vanilla. The thing that makes you automatically jump up to the next block when you move against it if it's one block high? It's pretty annoying except on bedrock edition (where it was first added) and I make sure to turn it off in any fresh 1.12+ install.

Step-up is like that, but instead of jumping, you just pop up to the next block, without breaking your stride or your sprint. It's the same thing as what horses do when you ride them over one block step ups.

Ah, gotcha. I could definitely see that it would make getting around vanilla terrain generation smoother like that, but I feel like that's part of what makes getting around "rough" and gives impetus to the player to build stuff using half slabs and stairs to make paths that are more easily walkable.

And now that my cooker works on rf, i will be cooking apples rather than jucing them  Though im sort of lost in this pack. No gates no forced progression yet i still hold myself back >< I ended up making the pump jack and refinery tower using survivalist generators with the aim of making the IE diesel gen. but said, nar, and cranched out some compression dynamo's instead >< Oh im also powering through embers (i dont like embers) so just making the item and putting it in a chest is good. Though now it wants dawnstone... hopefully i dont need embers for anything later on as i dont really want to make a set up for it. And milk. murder cows dont give milk, so the only way to get milk is to soulium daggar murder cows for chunks, then make the seed for the essense? I need to make a cow in a jar, but you need milk for the jar ><

What are some commonly-accepted options for increasing early-game carrying capacity these days? I'm thinking of trying to dodge leather or else make leather easier to get. I think the old MFR plastic bags didn't carry forward into Industrial Foregoing. Some pack I had played did have a process to turn rotten flesh into leather, but I can't recall what did it. I figured cloth bags are my best bet if there's a mod that generally does that.

Iron Backpacks and the Bag of Holding from Extra Utilities are the ones I feel like I see most often, along with the Satchel from Thermal Expansion.

The Atomic Reconstructor machine has a default option to convert flesh into leather.

It wasn't a machine but rather a rack. I assumed it was Tinkers Construct but I read that capability was removed from its rack in 1.12.2. Specifically, turning rotten flesh into leather was removed. I was playing some pack in that version since I was definitely playing around with Thaumcraft 6 at the same time.

Well without knowing which pack you were playing it is hard to guess. It might have been a pack specific change to drying racks to add the flesh to leather recipe.

The mod simply called Backpacks is really good. Very simple, practical, does what you need without a lot of frills. Very customizable in many ways, also offers a few cool (and useful) options like backpacks that open to the same inventory so you and your pal you're playing with in MP can share items through it even if you're spelunking in different areas. Or have one guy caving while another builds/works up above, so you can have one player feeding supplies and torches and tools down while the other sends up ores and mob drops to be stored.

The middle of the 3 buttons in its UI it where you select the crafting option (3x3, 2x2, try 3x3 first then 2x2, etc). Aha, this was it, thank you. I didn't think to look for "compacter" because compacter isn't the right spelling.

It might have been Enigmatica 2. That's the most-recently-played one that isn't my own custom instances. I think I'll load it up tonight and see if it all comes up. I had the Backpacks mod already in my instance, but it looks like it required leather. I assume Iron Backpacks was the same. What I'm looking for more fundamentally is an easy capability to wander around the Overworld a bit before committing to a permanent spot. I used to be able to clobber together some plastic bags and carry along the essentials for a few trips, but those are gone. My fallback then was cloth bags of some kind from a bunch of cotton, and I can't find that anywhere anymore either. Then I could go for the spectral dimension key, but that now requires an ender pearl. It also seems like the spirits I need for it don't show up as often as I remembered. This is then all compounded by filling up my inventory with mystical flowers and Pam's Harvestcraft stuff. I now have to resort to teleporting between temporary camps once I've found a nice place to move all this random stuff I acquired along the way.

Something else I can do is just give the player a backpack or make it easy to buy one or whatever. What was getting to me here is I could have sworn in the past two years or so that there was some kind of cloth-based backpack made out of wool that came in a variety of colors. Using wool would be a lot easier than leather due to all the various ways to harvest base materials from plants in different biomes. So I was trying to angle for that. All I can find online are these canvas bags from RedPower 2, which is well before my time with all this. Gwyneth Palpate posted:Botania's got a flower pouch for holding flowers, FYI. 5 wool and a petal. This does sound very convenient though. That would reduce some of the crap but there will still be the Pam's stuff even just rummaging through the Overworld without wandering too much. chairface posted:Move it from your hotbar to your inventory. That used to work, at least. I didn't think it worked any more but I'd have to check. Of more concern is relying on iron; I am trying to assume they haven't even gotten into the ores at this point and are just kind of scraping around.

Hold sneak while breaking the gardens, and you'll pick up the entire garden without busting it into multiple food items. As a bonus, once you do settle, you can plant them again and they will spread.

Devor posted:I think you're describing Bagginses I looked this up and it appears not since it only goes up to 1.10.2. It's a shame though since I think I'd just use it even if it wasn't exactly what I remembered. Does anybody remember which mod back when had those very specific bags that looked like messenger bags? I think one was for cobblestone and another was an "engineer's backpack" or something similar. I'm wondering if I'm thinking of that after all. I don't think whatever that was specifically survived to 1.12.2. I'm not talking about the crafting backpack; I know that one's around and that requires leather.

I recently realized the thermal expansion bags have a void bag with whitelisting so you can just eliminate poo poo you don't want as soon as you touch it, which is nice. You can have bags pull specific stuff into them too. Reminds me of some of the poo poo you could do with dartcraft bags years ago.

I popped open this old Enigmatic 2 instance from awhile ago and figured out it was the Integrated Dynamics drying basin that took care of leather for me. It also had Forestry so I might have seen the bags there. However, the drying basin gives an alternate path for leather so I'm going to dabble in being a wandering hobo that way. I'm seeing how well I can do without really getting into metals.

The lever is set to off in the screenshot, but even with it on it does nothing.I've looked at a few embers youtube videos and I'm not doing anything different yet my poo poo just doesn't work.

Usually when I start a new pack, I quickly make a base near spawn, like just start tunneling into the nearest hill & wack a door on. I consider it a temporary base, so it's all just functional and I'm not worrying about making it look nice. Then later on when I'm swimming in resources, I'll build a proper base & I'll think about making it actually aesthetically pleasing instead of being purely functional

Fwiw, the Dartcraft modder has been dropping hints in Twitch chats that they're closing in on finishing a new version of Dartcraft. Not sure what version of Minecraft it's being developed for, but I assume it's 1.12.2 or 1.13.x at this point. With any luck it'll at least end up being a new set of weird stuff to further inspire the latter-day modding world. It's nice that base MC is finally starting to ramp up the rate of change a bit with the new utility blocks, mob variety and a native quasi-API for adapting what's there. Still has some way to go with underground/nether/end variation and a some good, deep revamps of its many unfinished game subsystems (combat/portals/enchanting/mob-A.I.'s/ingame-documentation/etc.) though.
