Like I could go on a nice mining trip, see that I got a bunch of cobble/coal/lapis/whatever and when I try to empty it the slots just become empty and maybe I can get stuff out manually or not. Anyone knows whats up with that? It had some bugs a while back (8 months or a year or so) but as far as I know they've all been fixed.

So what's going on in the world of modded? The last new pack I played was SF4, nothing new or exciting seems to have come out since? What's going on with forge 1.15+? I've been distracted, last I knew they were having some issues with server stability.

I've been distracted, last I knew they were having some issues with server stability. The fission reactor has a radiation mechanic that is good but has an effect that's both a bit too extreme and not as cool as nuclearcraft's. If anyone wants advice on dealing with it ahead of time I can provide a very simple way that exploits mek's mechanics. 1.12.2 is still the modded version with the occasional 1.7.10 pack worth playing if you haven't already played. 1.14/1.15 saw a lot of mod releases and porting between 1.14,1.15, and 1.16 shouldn't be too bad. Depending on the release cadence and what the next version adds, 1.16 may be the next big modded version or it may be another 1.10 where it becomes the version but hides in 1.7.10's shadow until a later 1.12.2 equivalent. It's still up in the air and nothing real big has happened. 1.16 is still really new so not much has ported yet. Refined Storage & Mekanism are the two big ones. These new versions may see some of the old mods left behind but we'll see. Khorne fucked around with this message at 20:19 on Jul 21, 2020 |

Khorne posted:Mekanism v10 came out for 1.16 and is pretty cool. It adds armor/tools similar to modular power suits, a huge item storage block, some equivalent of ic2's energy -> items endgame stuff, and it adds a fission reactor that gates some of the endgame stuff. Ooh I like the newer version of mek in 1.12, so 1.16 mek sounds fun. Thanks for the info, I appreciate it. I’m excited to see where modded goes next, but it’s taking its time. Is Fabric catching on at all? Edit: NM, scratch that question. I scrolled up. Lol.

So the Regrowth dev just released a new skyblock pack, Heavens of Sorcery. No ex nihilo or sky resources, so if you're tired of sifting for resources this may be for you. One note, disable the Linear mod because it has a weird conflict that makes quests not complete.

Well it is a magic focused mod and appears to have extra dimensions, so it may be more of a do other dims for resources. At the very beginning it is mush berries (rustic) and dry them out for iron. Then you can use charcoal (27 per) to make a diamond. Though with the magic focus it isn't like you will need 12 million resources to make a things like most expert packs (I assume).

I believe Forge started its rewrite after 1.12.2 and that took a long while to come out, so most mods just settled on 1.12.2. Whether or not we'll end up with another version being the modded version for a while like 1.7 or 1.12 were, I have no clue. I guess it depends on much work would be required to update after the rewrite of Forge or if mod devs switch to Fabric.

Weltlich posted:Is there an updated guide/wiki for the new Mekanism release? All the stuff I'm finding is v8. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQRVqs4TUEU With this developer interview. Stream of consciousness notes, will organize better later: Enriching diamonds/coal/redstone into plates gives 8x the amount for infusing other materials in the pack I was playing. Not sure if that's a v10 change or something I overlooked previously. Most things are the same at lower tiers. Recipes changed a bit at endgame tier. JEI works really well for the mekanism stuff. Most of the new stuff is gated behind having a fission reactor. Fission reactor uses fission casing, reactor glass with similar rules to the turbine. Stack fission fuel assembly and cap it with a control rod assembly. Leave a 1 block gap between the ceiling and the control rod assembly. You'll need 4 fission reactor ports and to use the configurator to switch between types. Fluid in for water, gas in for fissile fuel, gas out for spent fuel, fluid out? for steam. Something like that. If your reactor is big enough you want an extra port for water. A 7x7x7 with 2-4 control rods setup uses almost a full port of water using mek's ultimate fluid cables. Mek's multiblock will tell you what's invalid, but I didn't run into invalid on the fission reactor. Let it fill with water through the reactor port before running it. When you run it it will only consume 1mb/t until you set it higher in the Stats panel. It will consume insane amounts of water when you set it higher. I made 16 fully upgraded pumps before giving up and just using the cooking for blockheads' sink. Attach fluid cables in pull mode to multiple faces of that block for a lot of water. 1 sink can provide for an entire 7x7x7 reactor. 7x7x7 reactor with 4 control assembly produces 500kRF/t or so worth of steam when put into a mek steam turbine. Nothing changed about the steam turbine. It's still annoying to build correctly if you haven't built one recently. The rods get a penalty if you put them near each other. I haven't experimented much, but diagonal tiling might work fine. I left 1 block of space everywhere around my rods and it worked out fine. I haven't experimented yet with trying to turn it up because it wasn't needed and the polonium production rate & power output are adequate for this tier of power. Pipe waste out into the solar neutron activator. One can handle a reactor, but keep a decent amount of piping to store excess waste. Pipe polonium into a prc (+oxygen), pipe the spent fuel from the prc down toward bedrock and just make a big pipe grid to avoid having to deal with radiation. If you have more waste than your pipe network can contain when you break the pipe you will cause massive radiation in your world. Otherwise, you can ignore the radiation mechanics completely with pipes. There are also nuclear waste barrels, but I'm unclear on their mechanics or purpose when pipes can hold more waste per block, don't emit radiation, and can be freely broken as long as sufficient space is left in the network. For the fuel production chain, just follow JEI from the final result. Total machines for production chain are: 1x prc, 3x chem inf, 2x chem ox, 1x rotary conds, 2x chem inj, 1x isotropic centrifuge, 1x energized smelter (to smelt uranium dust), 1x enrichment chamber (uranium ingots), 1x chemical dissolution chamber (this takes a gas upgrade, use one). You'll want an extra PRC and 1x Solar Neutron Activator for processing spent fuel. Inputs to the chain are oxygen (maybe H too? I forget), water, fluorite, coal/charcoal, and uranium dust or ingots. There are two chains, the sulfur chain and the uranium chain. Uranium chain uses smelter/enrichment to get yellow cake, puts into chemical oxidizer, and then it goes to the main chain. The other chain uses oxygen+coal/charcoal to make sulfur, processes the sulfur, eventually gets to chemical dissolution chamber with fluorite, and then combines with the uranium chain. Strongly recommend following JEI from sulfur production up and just building piece by piece to avoid complexity. Leave space around machines. Use a basic chem tank set to dump excess to handle the excess hydrogen from the sulfur production. I upgraded everything to 8x,8x but it uses around 200kRF/t when upgraded that way. When built this way the simple uranium chain will bottleneck. Basic factories and an extra chemical oxidizer or two will increase fuel production significantly. I haven't tried fusion yet. The new gear takes polonium from the fission reactor, lithium, hdpe, and netherite. I can't get the digital miner to mine the block for netherite, but I haven't found the block yet because I have pretty limited time. I am fairly certain you can place it in Item Stack once you have one block of it. There is a hazmat suit, geiger counter, and dosimeter. You have to have the full hazmat suit on before being exposed to radiation. If you follow the pipe strategy above you won't need hazmat. If you break something containing radioactive material and it has nowhere to go you're guaranteed to die without full hazmat (or meka armor with hazmat upgrades). Don't do this stuff near your bed. Can cheat with /mek radiation removeAll to clear it if you end up in a bad situation. If you have full hazmat the radiation pretty much does nothing and is kinda cool. Might be able to make a mob farm with it. Khorne fucked around with this message at 22:13 on Jul 23, 2020 |

McFrugal posted:Weird, it refills on my computer. Depends how the water was 'made' I think. If it was naturally generated then it's all water sources and works right probably, but if you, say, make a lake deeper or wider, then the water layers below the previous level are not filled in unless you bucket water into them yourself. Maybe it's also possible that things can just be dumb sometimes.

Water mechanics are and always have been stupid, it's a drat kid's game stop making it so complicated. That it's still possible to leave ugly 'whirlpools' of water when bucketing from a lake is ridiculous, and the amount of effort required to fill in a natural lake or pool is equally ridiculous. There has to be a better way!!!

I've been playing FTB Revelation lately with ore excavator added, and while digging down to find redstone, I found this super massive clump of poor quality iron. After using up countless sharpening kits and dumping inventory after inventory into the smelter, I have more iron and invar than I think I can ever use  too bad the blocks don't look that great or I'd build an iron house as a flex.

Mek v10 is pretty good. Avoid bins they wreck fps and suck. QIO is good but can't interface with RS as far as I know. It's the best backpack ever and it has importer/exporters you can use to automatically dump certain stuff out into other places. Fission fuel process gives you the hard part of 5x ore processing. I didn't know that when I set it up. Pretty relevant because mek still has no way to get infinite ore and I can burn through gold faster than 5x fully upgraded digital miners can mine it. Teleporters are awesome now to the point that Waystones and similar aren't even worth it. You don't even need to build a portal if you use a handheld device. I also learned a whole lot of things about mekanism I didn't know despite using the mod since at least 1.5.x. Although lots of the things I learned weren't there in 1.5.x, like lasers and personal chests which are both pretty interesting. also, in 1.15.x and 1.16 you just need 1 ender pearl to get above bedrock in the nether and you can relink your nether portal there making a sweet place to build with no hostile mobs at all and good fps.

Decent so far except for tiny skeletons that seem to have an even smaller hitbox and creepers exploded into multiple smaller creepers. :/ Sadly I cannot find out which mod adds them to change any configs. Though the only thing i've played with so far are IE and Mekanism. https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/modpacks/valhelsia-3 e: just had a creeper sneak up behind me and blow and I got 5 tiny ones from it that time.

I can't really play versions after 1.12.2 because 1.13 introduced some kind of horrendous input bug that, as of current version, is still present for me. Basically if I try to start moving sideways within a second of having started moving forwards/backwards (or vice versa), I get locked moving in the direction I was originally headed for a couple seconds. So unless I disable strafing altogether I'm just gonna fall to my death every 5 minutes.
