What’s up with Interactions? That looks like another huge complicated pack you could lose days to. I love GT:HN, but parts of it are really rough. Edit: By rough I mean NEI being slow even after its cached and the strange inclusion of things like a mod that creates a ton of layers of snow instead of blocks which results in a struggling server and tanked FPS.

I played Interactions for a while, and I thought it was pretty good, until you got to some of the poorly-optimized dimensions in the late game. I didn't have the NEI problem at all. The combat would have been horrendous if I hadn't cheesed it by using an astral sorcery ritual as well as building a skyblock-like platform in the overworld.

The reasons I can't, despite my best efforts, are a few "hardcore" mods like pitch blackness at night, mobs that can break and place blocks to reach you, and finite water in most biomes. Though honestly the single biggest reason is it's so drat bloated with mods it takes like ten minutes for the pack to load in.

It was easy to make and charge since I was already tripling ore and could feed it hydrogen. It moved very slowly going forward but raised pretty quickly. Regarding the bees, I decided to just kind of look this up myself to see what it looked like. Somebody else mentioned flowers being nearby will cause beehives to generate from fresh saplings. The Minecraft Wiki states it's just two blocks. So if the farm is outside, a pesky few flowers just out of reach could generate beehives anywhere on the trees that are popping up.

Well drat. The overworld stuff sounds fun, but not in a GT pack. I wonder if it's possible to easily prune the block breaking and pitch black stuff out. Do mobs pillar? It almost sounds like that 1.10 Darkosto pack, the dayz meets minecraft thing he did before SevTech. Which, I should just start that again. I have never played past the stone age and he's still releasing updates so it should be in relatively good shape. I need to figure out how to cheat through quests because I refuse to do the totemic stuff. The mechanics are terrible and the mod itself is offensive. BTW does anyone know the story behind the Pepe thing in SF4? I think it's a emoji you can spam in Darkosto's channel too. A lot of us are pretty sensitive to this stuff now and I'd like to know why he chose to stick what is commonly known as a 'wink wink nod nod' to racists fanatics in his block building game.

I haven't seen if something else is overriding that so perhaps I need to check what a creeper does. Unless you 100% want to find something that will blow them up then with TiCon already installed you can just use Phasing arrows/bolts to go through the bars for those pylons.

I occasionally feel like playing Sevtech again, then I remember it still includes Abyssalcraft as a major part of progression and that feeling promptly goes away. Darkosto streams his mod pack development on Twitch, and while I’m certainly not an expert on Twitch culture it seems like various Pepe emotes get used a lot without the unfortunate connotations there. If I’m wrong someone feel free to correct me. I don’t want to accidentally defend a chud if he is one.

It may be possible he's legit ignorant I guess? Seems difficult to believe, but I guess it's a possibility. The artist is trying to reclaim his character too, maybe he's part of that campaign. I'm not defending him either. I've seen his stream, but I've never watched it longer than 5 minutes or so. Oh drat! OmniTech doesn't have Thaumcraft or Bloodmagic? I was about to jump into Interactions despite the goofy overland, but I really dislike Thaumcraft. To the point I will skip packs that include it in the progression. I was doing really well with Enigmatica 2 Expert and then things started requiring Thaumcraft crap, I haven't touched it since.

Made it to the LV tier in GTNH. While it's nice to finally have some power I need so much freaking copper. And I only have a steam macerator, so processing takes years. Hoping the LV one is faster cause I think that's my next thing to build.

You're definitely not meant to one-of-everything your way through the steam age. Just macerating the materials for the bricked blast furnace is like 4 hours of process time. Macerators use 4 steam/t (one small boiler is 6/t), so it's very easy to run 3 of them in parallel off their own boiler. LV is literally twice as fast as steam, so yeah! Steam machines are still useful, though, because LV Steam turbines only convert to EU at 85% efficiency, while steam machines are technically 100% efficient. Some machines like the Forge Hammer have no recipes that require a higher tier, and for things like pounding crushed ore into dust it is certainly fast enough. I've had games where I don't replace my Steam Forge Hammer until after I make an HV Macerator. The general way machine tiers work in GT is each tier doubles speed, and quadruples energy requirements (Steam to LV doubles speed but doesn't change energy costs). Since it's twice as fast this means you end up spending double the energy per tier above the lowest listed recipe tier. An HV Macerator, for example runs 4 times as fast at 32 eu/t for most recipes (and is the first tier with 2 output slots so you get byproducts). Even an LV is great since you can auto-output the products without a hopper. LV age machines you will want, as far as I can remember: ( I definitely have a post from over a year ago with the same stuff in better detail if you can find it) Your first 4 machines should be focused on material efficiency: Bending Machine - Plates at 1:1 Wiremill - One ingot becomes 2 wires Chemical reactor + Fluid Solidifier: Rubber! 9 dust + 1 sulfur = 9 rubber sheets. This is 1/3 the sulfur and cuts out the 2:1 loss from making sheets in the alloy smelter. You will always run out of rubber. Always. As soon as you can stomach the cost, an assembling machine makes circuit components cheaper as well as a world of other things (Like chests from 2 logs + 2 planks, cheaper hoppers, etc.) Oh and my favorite tip: all those mechanic coins you have saved up? Spend them, especially on vacuum tubes. Technically the coins are renewable since the mob kill quests are repeatable and give coins. Just loving buy away the worst parts of making machines once you can. The coins exist to be spent! Don't have 99 elixirs on the final boss!

I've made a macerator, lathe, wiremill, bending machine, assembling machine, chemical reactor, polarizer, electrolyzer and centrifuge so far. Was hoping to electrolyze some of my centrifuged dusts, but apparently the LV one can't do that. Right now I'm trying to figure out how to get a decent supply of nickel to get an electronic blast furnace up. So far I think my only option for nickel is yellow limonite and the occasional iron ore I get out of chalcopyrite veins.

Once you get your first lv circuits and make an assembler, you'll be able to go to the twilight forest, which has more nickel and silver than you'll ever need. you may wanna hold off on the ebf until then. plus you'll need a good amount of power (probably including batteries) to realistically power the ebf unless you're spending an absolute shitload on steam producers and turbines (don't do that) e- oh i see you have the assembler. yeah, go to the twilight forest.

RaspberryCommie posted:I've made a macerator, lathe, wiremill, bending machine, assembling machine, chemical reactor, polarizer, electrolyzer and centrifuge so far. Twilight forest is a requirement for the EBF. You need sapphires to make the "Alumino-Silicate Wool" that is a component of the copper coil blocks. Might as well go there for nickel as well. I second going to the nether for antimony for batteries. Running the EBF requires 120 eu/t (with duct tape, which I think the quest gives you). You can try to set up a giant steam tank with 4 turbines, but it's much easier to just get a pair of 4 slot battery buffers hooked up to the energy hatches and charge them as you can. It's a major step to have the kind of power production to run the EBF continually. Personally I loathe steam power so I never expand it past my minimal LV setup. I generally limp along LV by making a ton of batteries and swapping them around to charge while I work on other stuff like farms and structures.

A friend of mine is just getting into the game and looking for a new home after the server they used to frequent shut down, so I'm looking for mods that: - add a ton of new passive mobs to the game (basically a modern successor to Mo' Creatures) - made cooking more complex, particularly in terms of expanding farming and/or hunting for rare ingredients - are compatible with 1.16 and multiplayer If there's a single mod that combines the "more animals" and "cooking/farming is more complex" that would be amazing, but not necessary. Does anyone know of something like this? I checked the OP first but the mod version tracker and resources there haven't been updated since 1.9.

I've decided the Industrial Foregoing one can't do it. I'm starting to try other things and finding a surprising amount of disappointment. Cyclic has a harvester that doesn't work on grass or flowers. EnderIO has the farming station that does harvest flowers but leaves the grass behind. This means grass eventually takes over. My last option would be garden cloches with each time of flower. Before that, I at least have an RFTools builder set to clear out the farm path, but I fear it might nuke the sprinklers and pipes while it's at it. I could also do something using either pistons or water buckets but then I have to do a bit of world logic.

Khorne posted:Just do it the vanilla way. Flood to harvest. I usually bonemeal to grow when I do this, but that assumes you have a bonemeal supply. Too late! I was reporting back after using the RFTools builder. That thing rips through a prairie! I had to put it on a timer to rein it in a little bit. I don't know how the builder does with quarrying, but it took out about 80 blocks with of random grassy bits instantaneously if I used a lever. It also, uh took out the torches, sprinklers, and fluid ducts too. So I had been doing some shenanigans to put the sprinklers a block into the ground. That surprisingly worked. What surprisingly didn't work was putting them overhead three blocks above. I suspended some light blocks so I thought I might be able to do it there. I suppose I should hold my judgment until I measure how much power it's eating to do all this. On the other hand, it's very quickly pulling up some of those oddball plants I had forgotten about. What's oddly missing are blue flowers. I have a lifetime supply of dandelions though. I'm guessing it's biome shenanigans.
