In Create 0.5, what blocks can you interact with as part of a train/contraption? Seats and doors and ofc the Train Controls block all are okay, but barrels (and presumably chests) and beds both are not. Furnaces and Crafting Benches both are also no-go. It would be neat to have a mobile mini-base of sorts-- or even just provide a place to sleep through the night would be nice-- even if these things could only be accessed at a station, but if it has to be disassembled/reassembled every time it kind of kills the mood.

(YMMV of course, but if anyone is just dreading Nomifactory stuff, just remember cheating in single player is a choice you make, there's no leaderboards.)

God I wish I had been smart enough to give myself those tools. In other I wish I had been smart enough news I ground my factory to a halt twice in the last day by forgetting to do the setting on a conduit that was supposed to filter the matter from half my DML setup so those all backed up and I ran out of aluminum and gold. Then I discovered I had forgotten to void apples from my tree farm and it finally overflowed and filled my ME system. I've been on a push to autocraft things into dedicated drawers and while its taken a ton of time to set up it been working a lot better than my old system so thanks for that tip.

Probably, yes. In my experience modded Minecraft is unreasonably CPU-heavy, and Nomifactory isn't super well optimized, though better than most I guess considering how many simultaneous machines can be running.

If you're looking for building type things you'd be better off with a DSP/Factorio/Satisfactory for the laptop; otherwise you'd be in for a bad time with big modpacks. Comedy answer would be setting up a free oracle server and connecting to that to offload a bunch of the processing then turning off particles/animations until you get playable speeds.

Bhodi posted:oh noooo don't grind for hours nooo if you use a uh self-aware enderman(?) plus kill them with a looting enchant weap they drop them fast. I think that's the trick, or maybe it was something else. I watched a youtuber do it and just did what they did I was under geared (and killed way more than i needed) Fun fact - Dont swap out a self aware module from the simulation chamber by hotswapping a lower tier one. Game crashes and the self aware (one being taken from the machine) disappears on restart, So i kinda had to grind a bit.

Gave Vault Hunters a try and made it to level 30 before I quit. Reminded me of why I don't play combat-heavy packs - MC might have the worst combat in gaming history. I don't mind fights here and there, especially if the mobs are interesting, but VH arenas just rubbed me the wrong way. Playing Rustic Waters 2 right now and having a lot of fun with it.

For those you'd probably have to use either use console commands or if that doesn't work then nbtexplorer. f3 + h will make items show all their ids for arguments for the console route while for nbt you're best off just putting a different self-aware in your inventory as well as a basic you want to edit and comparing the two to see what you need to change. E: Here you go, console works fine for it. /give <player> deepmoblearning:data_model_zombie 1 0 {tier:4} will give you a self-aware zombie module. Replace zombie with the name of any other one and you're golden. Rynoto fucked around with this message at 12:28 on Jul 21, 2022 |

I've run into a weird issue. I've got an enderIO farming station setup for canola to make canola oil and its working. But it keeps trying to replant a few of the blocks so it uproots the existing plant and leaves a pile of seeds. Its only happening in about 5 to 15 blocks. Some will grow normally for a while and then get messed up for a while. A few of the blocks never seem to grow right. Any idea what's going on or how to fix it? Its not a huge impact on production but I have a feeling an ever growing pile of seeds won't be great for performance.

Vib Rib posted:Yeah, I gave it a shot but got turned off pretty quick. Expecting you to go through the entire game vanilla before the real meat of the pack even begins was a real roadblock, but then the whole gimmick revolves around MC's terrible combat. More than that, though, because of the way resources are distributed in Minecraft, modded packs have a hard time adding new, desirable items. What do you put at the end of a difficult challenge that the player can't get already? Netherite, diamonds, elytra, books of mending, stuff like that tend to be the main gifts on offer that a player would actually want, and those run out fast. And you don't really need even better weapons, most times, since mobs cap out at a fairly weak level. So most mods tend to invent new problems and that way they can add their own solutions to it. I wonder if that's why so many modpacks have simple quality of life improvements gated behind ridiculous costs and challenges, because they're one of the only things players will really want that they can't just get already. The loot grind treadmill was one that I did not jive with at all, along with the fact that it takes way too long to even access modded stuff and then you have to pick how you get new stuff dripfed to you. It felt bad to me, but I could at least see the type of player who might really enjoy that sort of thing. For me though everything progression-wise just took way too long.

Among other mods, I added ProjectE to Nomifactory to make the early game less grindy - all the advanced stuff still requires proper crafting, but ProjectE means it's a lot easier to produce the basics and progress without as much grind. It also means you can essentially create infinite systems for producing certain things like cables and sulfuric acid. I tend to play a modpack most of the way through in its normal state first, then tinker with its mods and configs to make it a more enjoyable experience for myself. I'm not here to prove myself to other people, I'm just having fun making complex systems and making the questbook go ping. My E2:E install is a pretty big mess because of adding dimension mods and other such things to it, I might pare that down to bring it back from the brink at some point.

You can till farmland and plant a crop and the farmland will stay intact as long as the crop is growing on it. It grows slower though, and bare dry farmland turns back into dirt over time.

The farmer fortunately takes care of tilling and watering the dirt. If I didn't have my base lit by feral flare lanterns I might have remembered about light levels but they do a good enough job lighting things up that I haven't given light levels a thought in a while. But apparently not a good enough job to grow crops in every square.

Yeah, I feel like not having cheats on in a pack is just begging for trouble. It's always "Oh, well that just vanished" or "this recipe is literally impossible because they didn't oredict this right" or "I'm not loving making another one of those by hand".

I pretty much had to do every single metal as wires and plates through the early tiers. There started to be a few exceptions later on. The quick check would be if you need plates of the metal to make casings of a tier, and if you need the wire for either cabling or as ingredients for certain machines at certain tiers. I think I had wires and plates of every metal that could come out of DML, along with their alloyed variants (electrum, red alloy, bronze). You'll need plates and wires for every thermal expansion alloy. You'll need wire for most (I don't think soularium or whatever?) EnderIO alloys, and most of the plates. If you are turning a plate into foil for boards and electronics, consider keeping some space aside for all of that because end game will consume potentially millions of them. In the end game, you'll end up having to ramp up most of the machines that you are using to do this now or just make new ones. If I had known the scaling ahead of time, I would have grouped all wires in one place and all plates in another, and just shat out UV-tier replacements for the final quest. That point you have creative RF power so that's not an issue. Another common thing is rods. When you collide with the next tier of motors, you might as well take a pause to extrude a ton of different poo poo, because it'll culminate in pumps and robotic arms that require various extruded stuff. You won't avoid the lathe because you'll need screws from extruded bolts.

Yeah its big and almost certainly mine is far too densely packed and not organized enough. I've done almost nothing but sort out stockpiles of an ever increasing number of parts. The upside is that as I go its gets easier to just grab a ton of machines to poo poo out more. Another tip is plates are far faster to make from cutting up blocks than compacting ingots, even more so if you use lubricant instead of water. You only need a trickle of lubricant and its easy to make. It'd be really nice if the copy paste tool lets you copy machine or AE2 junk even if not any of the settings. Are there any mods I could add that would help take some of the pure repetition out of that?

All the Nomifactory talk got me interested enough to take a peek and while this is well outside my wheelhouse even as a fan of the factory and automation stuff, it did immediately introduce me to something I've been wanting since forever: Scannable (which was just yesterday updated for 1.19 and has both Forge and Fabric releases). Finally, finally something to make diamond hunting less bullshit without completely trivializing it. ...Now I just need to wait for Create + Crafts & Additions to update for 1.19 to be able to power the thing without resorting to AE2 or some other such nonsense.

So if you want to go with the always-free server from Oracle, be sure to check that region the you're selecting at account creation has more than one availability domain since it can't be changed later. I went for San Jose instead of Phoenix because I thought "hey, a little closer to home has got to be better, right?" Nope. San Jose has exactly one availability domain, and it's already full up on free Ampere servers. Phoenix has three domains, but since I'm locked into San Jose, I'm screwed until Oracle decides to make more availability domains for San Jose.

Friend of mine's had a Shockbyte server for a while that was doing just fine with several people at a time on the lowest tier (1GB) back in 1.16, now with 1.19 he's beefed it up to the third tier (3GB) which is supposed to support up to 30 people, but having added nothing more than the usual Fabric optimizations, Origins, and Tom's Simple Storage (which is barely in use) it is semiregularly making GBS threads itself and dying from running out of memory and timing out with 3-6 people. I'm terrified of trying to introduce Create to this loadout once that updates given how much it's already struggling, and I'm not sure what to blame in this situation.

I don't know about those mods specifically, but mods just raise the requirement naturally due to more stuff = more RAM usage. Unfortunately I also don't really know the effect of 1.18+ on baseline RAM usage on a server either. All I can suggest is bumping it up to 4gb, see if that fixes things.
