Devor posted:Craft of the Titans 2 had some story to it, but had absolutely garbage performance for a combat-centric mod. Looks like it's still being updated, so I'll give it another try I actually jumped into CotT2 again. The dev stripped out lycanites godawful mobs and replaced them with Grimoire of Gaia's semi-awful mobs-with-anime-tits. The intro is also stripped down and much faster, and the actual overworld isn't a murderfest of infinite wild dogs. Infernal bears are still a thing of course. Mainly I just like breeding chickens.

Grimoire of Gaia's anime tits make me laugh every time I remember them. The boobs are cubes!! Someone worked so hard on cube boobs!

Does SevTech Ages have much in the way of unified/expandable inventory storage early on, or is it all shifted to much later in the pack's progression?

Are we finally at the point now where to play PO3 or Enigmatica 2 we need 16 GB of RAM? I was meaning on getting a new stick soon anyway, but it just seems nuts that it's so drat taxing on my computer. Exoria is a great story pack, but Blightfall was definitely more linear with a preset world.

These are gigantic packs, having 200+ mods, so I'm not surprised that they are a strain. There are packs that are smaller if you're running on a potato. My computer's five years old and I have no problems.

Age 3 has the first true sorting system with Storage Drawers and its controller. Age 4 is when you really start getting into the meat of automation and mass storage though.

greententacle posted: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 What I'm focusing more on is that transition to the final base--particularly when it comes to dragging everything over there. I'm just framing it here as trying to wander and wander. It's a good place to find some of the neater conveniences and mechanics that you sometimes need in challenge packs.

I can play Enigmatica 2 (non skyblock) and Sevtech without any issues but my computer straight up won't run PO3. I only have 8GB of ram and gave PO3 6GB to use. It took 10 minutes to start the pack and creating the world and entering the first time took another 5. Then it froze when I tried to move. After 2 tries I gave up.

The 'carry on' mod lets you carry chests and such with their inventories. It slows you down pretty heavily but is great for early game.

The way that your computer makes use of your video card, is that the memory from your video card is effectively subtracted from the total installed - so if your graphics card has 2GB of memory, and the game is using 6GB, but your computer has 8GB total, it's going to go to hell because there's nothing left for your operating system. I'm not sure if the failure mode would be an 'out of memory' error, or MASSIVE slowdown from trying to use a page file for the RAM, or something else weird

Black Pants posted:How long, in Exoria, am I going to be staring at ash mountains and FPS-killing fairies if I play it properly? Progression in Exoria is based on dimension hopping, so you'll technically have something new to look at after a major progression milestone. However, the next two dimensions are cave dimensions so they aren't much better, not to mention the whole grue thing.

It does still have the awful Deez Nuts creepers though! I think I'm just a sucker for Stargates.

It's annoying that I can run every other game I own on ultra settings at 3440x1440 but sometimes not my digital lego game. I don't remember which pack it was but it ran fantastically until I tried to go to the Betweenlands then my computer would poo poo itself.

You can in theory move to one of the other dimensions but you need sky for things so the caves are right out. The next overworld-type area has drones spawning all the time for some reason and they're annoying to fight. I *think* you can put torches down to avoid them but they spawned during the day for me so maybe not. It's possible they just spawned in trees or something. Eventually you get to another overworld-type dimension which is totally peaceful during the day so you can make a safe base there. Boy the mobs are even more annoying though. PS it's the ash mountains that are killing your fps not the fairies. Every block of ash has particles, even the ones you can't see.

There's a lot of attempts at boobs in minecraft, and they are usually so blinded by horniness that the artist tries to make a gentle curve out of multiple blocks that just makes it more lego-like and alarming while drawing more attention to them Grimoire of Gaia is actually the most subtle and visually appealing of all the takes

Here is a dumb storage drawers trick: Drawer Trim blocks count as drawers for the purposes of a drawer controller's access range. You can abuse this to make drawer trim "pipes" to snake across gaps where you don't necessarily need to have other drawers storing things.

Not sure where you heard this but it's not true. Some memory address ranges will be used by your graphics card for direct memory access, but those addresses are virtual, they don't obscure system RAM. I think you're thinking of 32-bit operating systems that only have 4Gb addressable space, so in that case your system RAM plus your mapped gfx RAM could go over the 4Gb limit and become unaddressable. With 64-bit operating systems there is much more address space available and this won't be an issue again for a very long time.

It's heavily gated, recipes are drastically altered, and your toolkit is severely limited until you get through the tech tree. It's an "expert" pack for people who already know the mods well.

Sevtech is an absolutely fantastic modpack  The guiding on the first few ages is very strict and you can get up to Age 2 after a few hours. It's only in Age 2 when the pack slams into a wall and you start digging in deep.Just make sure to check everything that unlocks with each age as the book only mentions and pushes towards a few key things in each mod, especially from Age 2 onwards.

Sevtech is combat challenges: the pack until you can attune and fully level the rear end Sorcery Armara perk, at which point you become completely invincible. Well, assuming that it never got updated to the latest AS release where Armara got nerfed into the ground.

Glad I asked then; I'd gotten the impression somehow that SevTech was rather more guided than that. I can find my way around mods given time and a spotlight video, though, so it might still be fun.

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. Cool, I thought it was trapped in the usual "mod is dead -> well i'm making a new mod with those features stay tuned! -> that mod is also dead" loop. Dartcraft was WEIRD but it did cool poo poo so I welcome it's return.

I've been playing COTT 2 lately and it seems a lot lot easier than COTT 1, in that the only threat are the occasional superbears and they sure as gently caress can't get over the simple concrete wall I built around where I settled after leaving The After. Also the only weapon I need so far is the diamond yoyo I got early on, which handles everything but the 4k hp regen leech darkness burning wither 1-up nonsense bears. It's weird how peaceful it is after the infinite onslaught of COTT1. Maybe I'm missing something?

Well, rule number one of infernal mobs is to go edit the configs to remove all the mods that reflect damage (wither, fiery, poisonous, and the actual reflect one). That way you can actually fight things with a million hp and not die from ailments and reflect. Although a good cleaver does like 68 damage a hit with no mods so it's not too bad to deal with the high HP guys.

Man, I don't know if it's just the version of TE in Ultimate Alchemy or some kind of interaction with the smeltery controller but Retrievers refuse to do round robin properly. It pulls from the first, then the second, then the second again before trying to pull from the first... or the other way around, depending on what stack size I use. I have no idea what other way to do this, because I have to keep the inputs even to alloy gold and keep the drain from getting stuck on tin or glowstone, since the alloy always winds up at the top and not in the drain if any other liquid is present. How did you guys automate gold for production of lapis? The only other thing I can think of is pulverizing copper or iron ore(via the Crusher recipe instead) and focus on the byproduct. That's extremely slow though. McFrugal fucked around with this message at 07:46 on Jan 31, 2019 |

Okay, here's a tip for Ultimate Alchemy. Normally it's impossible to speed up a coke oven with an acceleration wand because the center block is what controls tickrate for the multiblock. However, you can access that block with an ender porcupine! You really only need one wand per coke oven though. Now I just need to speed up my pulverized charcoal production alongside that. Charcoal itself is easy to speed up since you can dump stacks of logs into an accelerated furnace, but pulverizers are limited by RF/t.
