I've always liked it, but it's probably still a resource hog. There's also minecolonies if you want to be more direct in placing and managing the village, and ... there's one harvest moon style one that I forget the name of, but it was also pretty fun.

Minecraft Comes Alive is another option. Its sort of like Harvest Moon in Minecraft. The villagers have new models and textures, new jobs, personalities, and can like or dislike you depending on how you treat them. You can even get married and have kids.

TekTopia is a cool village mod that feels like what Vanilla should be; it's not excessive or over the top, but it turns the game into a low key city building management game. https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/tektopia It doesn't play great for like, real involved modpacks, so if you're looking to play mostly vanilla it rules but if you want to have a bunch of other poo poo going on it might be frustrating. e: With regards to EMC Chat from earlier, there's a new skyblock modpack called Chemical Exchange that relies on building things based out of base elements, and only base elements from the Alchemistry mod can be put in and out. If I get tired of Mystical Skies, I might give it a whirl - I like that, conceptually, as a way of using an EMC table without it breaking the whole game.

Man I made it to oil in Rustic Waters. Goddamn is this quest stupid. You dig around the bedrock to take core samples to find a chunk that has oil. You build a pumpjack capsule and take it down to the place you marked with the oil, you throw it down on the ground and "The pressure is too high down here to deploy this capsule." Then where the gently caress exactly am I supposed to put it?

My friend was the one that did the quest for us but ours wasn't on bedrock it was on the sea floor if that makes any difference. We didn't really use the oil for anything either, we went from a bank of thermos to biodiesel

I managed to stick it on the seafloor once just to see if it could actually be placed at all, but I didn't like it just sitting in a coral reef like that so I built a box for it to be in. I tried to redeploy it and got the same message. There's a lot of dumb poo poo in Rustic Waters tbh. It's a very cool idea for a modpack, but the things like this are just bad. Like I get that he doesn't want you to "build bases at bedrock level", but once you've got an ember bore down there it seems real loving arbitrary that you just can't place certain blocks down there. Especially the pumpjack though.

I was expecting that floating thing to be down on the seafloor, really. I haven't played the pack since the first day it was released and judging from people's experiences, I think it was a good decision.

I think the reasoning is that it's too easy to expand your base if you just build down at bedrock, since you can dig out space without needing to worry about water or walls. The pumpjack being restricted is just stupid though.

The idea is that you're a remnant civilization left behind after ~mysterious cataclysmic circumstances~ and you are the Benevolent Dictator For Life of your little village inside a valley or whatever, and you have to work to raise your people up from nothing by searching for artifacts of the precursor civilization (which unlock game stages and thus other mods) and climb up a tech tree until you have enough $WHATEVER to do $THING.

Hey everybody. I decided to dip my toes into modpack making again, and I have found there are a lot of really cool options in 1.12! So I decided to make a small challenge pack, sort of like the skyblock packs but a bit different. This one is more about exploration, I started out trying to make something like a procedurally generated Fallout game. Its pretty much finished, though I think I will be making some tweaks here and there as I play test it. I might put it up on one of those launchers once I am finished tweaking it, but for now it is simply a .zip that you can import directly into MultiMC.

It doesn't give me any margin for error in the quest system and that particular spot is several blocks in the air. I set it to survival mode, and thats how it is for me. I donno how to change it just in general, I think the modes might just be for my character?

I had some time today and I did a bit more testing. It turns out the location quests only worked when I was logged into my personal account, when I logged into a different name they were broken! I did a bit of tweaking and everything should be fixed now. When I was at it I replaced the janky starting map with a custom Lost Cities biome type. You can get your starting gear from the quest system. Just select "Lost Cities" than "Trantor"! Escape From Trantor v0.06 https://www.mediafire.com/file/zl1vdpg1qi8tejr/Escape_From_Trantor_v0.06.zip/file I have been having a blast play testing it myself. I kept the mod count reasonable, so it is moderately fast loading and quite stable. Exploring the procedurally generated city ruins is really trippy. I have a half dozen different mods generating structures in the world, and it is hard to differentiate them from each other. They all sort of blend together and make a really interesting city-scape to explore. With the Better Stealth and Better Combat mods its fun to bash some heads, which is good because a good number of the abandoned buildings are infested with monsters! I put a mod in there that lets the mobs break blocks/torches as well which really makes clearing out buildings a challenge. There isn't a lot of base-centric tech mods so I have mostly been focusing on exploring and grabbing loot. Though there is enough for a decent tech base, just not every option under the sun. I don't really like those kitchen sink mod packs, I only ever end up using one or two items from each one and it feels like a waste. The new biome I came up with is much better suited to this mod pack. I combined the "tall buildings" with "wasteland" then layered several atomic wars worth of explosion over top. It took quite a few hours of tweaking to get it just right. Lost Cities mod gives you a lot of rope to hang yourself with, the first couple of tries I ended up creating so many explosions that it destroyed the entire world  The way the different terrain generators interact is fun. These pirates decided to set up in the middle of this blast crater:  This building was hit from all sides, only a sliver remains:  Debris and devastation everywhere!

Let me try to be helpful: You could get a resource pack to turn them into different mobs with different sound effects... they could also play on Peaceful, but the Enchantment Table and Brewing Stand would probably set off alarms too, so you'd have to install CraftTweaker or something to disable those blocks.

I lost my GTNH world due to a hard-drive failure. In preparing to start over, I think I'd like to see if I can tweak the pack a bit to fit my playstyle a little better and possibly speed up the early part (say everything through the end of LV age.) Overall, I think my goal here is to try and naturally integrate some of the cheating I intend to do. I had about 9 months of on-again off-again play, and was basically just hitting MV age in my last play-through. I learned quite a bit, and expect that my next base will be much more efficient because of it. What I'd like to tweak: - Ore scanning/prospecting. I think that the scanner i used to map out my ores was actually removed in the most recent update. What item do you guys use to find your ores? [QoL] - Peaceful mode. I played pretty much entirely in peaceful mode last time, but I kind of felt bad about it. I like the idea of having to think about defenses when planning out bases. [QoL] - Water. I hit a water bottleneck multiple times last time. I'm thinking making water tanks cheaper [speed up early game] - LV Components. pumps, engines, arms, etc... I figured i used give or take 2 stacks of each during my last play-through. I'd like to speed things along by bypassing some of this grind. [speed up early game] - Corpse Recovery. I like the idea of having to recover my corpse. During my last play-though, any grave I couldn't reach I ended up recovering via command. Id like to find a less cheaty way to do this. [QoL] - Veinminer. I shoved veinminer into my last play-through, but it only kind of worked as I never really had it configured correctly. I mostly used it for chopping trees. Is there something better than veinminer for 1.7 that would work with all the custom ores, or an easier way to configure veinminer? [QoL] - Crazy Mobs. What is the mod that makes mobs have boss modifiers? As I played almost entirely peaceful, it never really bothered me. If I go for a less peaceful run this time, not sure if I should remove (would that cause any issues?) or modify this [QoL] I think I can address some of the above issues by adding some new coin quests in the quest book. One issue I had last time is that I had chests full of coins that I never really bothered to cash in. I'd like to see if I could take some of the above ideas and make better use of the coins. For the ore-scanner, I think I could just set an item and make it buyable for like, 1 full stack of any coin. What I'm not sure about (and would appreciate input on) is if it would be possible to write a quest that toggles your game to peaceful mode for a set amount of time and then reverts to normal. Ideally it would allow the player to spend x amount of any coin type to put their world into peaceful mode for y game days, and then reverts it to normal. In a similar vein, I'd like to be able to spend 1 full stack of any coin type to run the command that recovers your corpse (I think this one might be tricky - if you die a few times trying to get to your grave legitimately, it might be hard to recover the one you want.) If possible, Id like to spend x amount of any coin type to summon all of graves that still exist in all dimensions to my current location. For the speeding up the early game stuff, what makes sense to me is to tweak the loot tables for the low level lootbags. I've never done this before, and would appreciate any advice on how to do so. More importantly, I'd really appreciate hearing about pain points or wishes of others who have been playing GTNH recently. Especially ideas others might have to accelerate or smooth out the early experience.

I started to play some RLCraft. It took me a few botched attempts, but eventually I spawned near a desert village. That meant I could sleep in a bed to set my spawn point and I set up shop in a house just outside of town. It's an interesting approach to minecraft to say the least. I feel kind of directionless at the moment. I have a place to sleep and a basic set of tools (the town let me leapfrog over the whole flint knapping experience to make a grass bed, since I could just use their crafting tables to jump right to stone axes). Not 100% sure what to do next, but I guess I'll figure it out eventually.

xanthan posted:What's the easiest way to automate nitor production in All the Mods 3 Remix? Because I need tons of the stuff. Making that is pretty much the last obstacle I have that isn't easily solved by simple stuff. Side question, anything besides a hopping bonsai for getting silverwood leaves? I don't know what else is in that modpack, and I don't have any experience with Thaumcraft 6 yet. But I can tell you how you would have done it in Thaumcraft 4, and that might translate into Thaumcraft 6. Whatever way you have in that modpack to automate crafting, use that method to automate charcoal production, and craft that charcoal into torches. Then the rest of the steps use the automation tools built into Thaumcraft itself: use the alchemical furnace to melt down charcoal into ignis and potentia essentia, and melt down torches into lux essentia. (You'll want two separate furnaces, one for charcoal and one for torches). Have two alchemy golems move the essentia from those two furnaces into a set of three jars that are connected to a Thaumatorium by essentia tubes. (A separate tube for each essentia, so you never have to deal with essentia blocking each other in tubes). Something feeds glowstone into the Thaumatorium (you could use a Thaumcraft golem for that if you wanted a "pure" Thaumcraft solution here), and a hungry chest sits under the Thaumatorium catching the nitor that it spits out. Voila: as long as you can automate charcoal and torch production, you can make nitor automatically. At least, you can do so in Thaumcraft 4. Hopefully Thaumcraft 6 still contains the necessary tools to do something similar.

Thaumatoria are much easier to set up in Thaumcraft 6 because there's an "air transmission system" which magically floats essentia to and from the required jars without the need for any pipes whatsoever. It's an incredibly quality of life upgrade and it looks cool to boot.
