Update on my frustrations with Sev ages, switched to AllTheMods8 and am having a substantially better time. Only running into my normal issues of "I hate Minecraft combat" causing me to have to cheat stuff in occasionally, and since I dont have danger I have not build a proper shelter yet have no reason to engage with food. This is a problem of my own making of course.

Make Baubley’s Heart Canisters to increase your max HP and Reliquary charms to make yourself invisible to enemies. All the basic Minecraft mobs drop items that can be crafted into charm fragments, and all the modded mobs have a low chance of dropping charm fragments directly. There’s a weapon enchant that boosts Reliquary drops.

There’s a reliquary drop that’s basically an unlimited used steak. Throw that in a backpack with auto-eat enabled and you never have to worry about food.

Once you have the Reliquary charms for all the vanilla Minecraft mobs, YUNG's Better Dungeons/When Dungeons Arise become trivial to just walk through, which gives you access to lots of loot chests with enchanted gear. The gear isn't great, it's stone/iron/gold, but you can throw it into an Industrial Foregoing Enchantment Extractor to move the enchantments to books and then dump the books into an Apotheosis Enchantment Library to merge the enchantments to their higher levels without anvil bullshit and then you can put those enchants on affixed weapons & armor you get from killing Apotheosis boss mobs -- which can't see you and don't fight back because you have Reliquary charms. And then you can salvage affixed gear for rarity materials and upgrade gems to Ancient tier and socket those gems in your sword so you hit for 50 damage before all the enchantments get involved and socket the other gems into your boots and pants so you have 700% movement speed. and +3 step height.

And once you have made yourself like unto god, you plop down a Mega Torch and mobs don't spawn at all.

The combat gets better when you can kill Withers and Dragons in 2-3 hits each

I guess I found something worse than old-fashioned modded beekeeping, and that's modded vanilla beekeeping. I'm playing around on a FTB Skies server and the bees I had would just coast off over the edge of the starting island (approx 3x2 chunks). I have a sugar bee in a jail right now that I'm afraid to set out in a hive even with the ground expanded all around it because I expect it to go take ride into the void too.

All the current bee mods assume you lock your bees inside something, and even offer virtualized bees that never leave their hives to reduce server lag because bees are terrible.

Ash Rose posted:My issue is not that I find Minecraft combat hard. I don't find it fun. Personally I play with whatever variant of Apathetic Mobs is up to date (Apathy or ApathyMod rn) - it makes it so every mob is neutral so it only fights you if you attack first (or generally there is to make them passive and only flee if you want). Lets me only do combat when I want. OTOH, I also build at least somewhat defensive houses bc I just don’t want mobs in my house, or near it making sounds (especially spiders), so we probably have different needs. I kind of just wanted to spotlight a cool mod, but perhaps someone will find it useful.

It’s not a great solution, but building a glass dome over one’s island and letting bees free range in there is cute. From rfTools builder to some other mod that has a building template thing to some build guide mod that pack has i futzed with and found weird and awkward Stop being cowards Modpacks, include Effortless Building

Black Pants posted:Wait that worked? I'd never thought of doing things that way. It does work but I ran into some issues with Architectury and Cloth-Config when Roughly Enough Items upgraded a little beyond their limits and I had to downgrade again to get minecraft to launch again. Otherwise, having metadata for modrinth and curseforge for components is a brilliant idea and works for everything, mods, loaders, and versions. Certainly takes a lot of work out but I would like an option to pin versions to avoid breakage.

What are some alternate (magic?) ways in FTB: Skies to breeze through end game combat? When I did the stoneblock I just used a Mekasuit but I don't want to just do that again.

I delved deeply and greedily and found the deep dark, which I hadn't experienced before since I've only recently updated my version to one that has it. I promptly encountered The Warden, who I hit a few times and then he smacked me for 1/3 my health(in full enchanted netherite) sending me flying like two chunks away into a massive pool of lava. that was fine, fire protection on my armor means lava takes a good bit longer to kill me, but then the warden one-shot me at range before I could even get my bearings. I disabled it from spawning through the console, but is there a mod that makes the warden not poo poo so I can reactivate it? it seems like the devs trying to be "cute" but as always introducing an incredibly unfun mechanic. I looked up its stats and it looks like them trying to create a "horror vibe" creature that is blind but insanely hard to kill and can one/two-shot you, which is not fun beyond maybe the first time you encounter it, and at least in the modded version I'm in, boy there's a lot of deep dark. If there's a mod that like, weakens the warden slightly so it's tough but not stupid, I'd love that. if it's designed to spawn super frequently, I'd want to drastically reduce that, make it something special to encounter rather than a constant annoyance. decent aesthetic but annoying mechanics and blocks. is there a mod that reduces the frequency of it appearing at the very least?

lol I just looked at my map, realized the blue dots are deep dark and holy poo poo it's loving everywhere. will this data pack outright remove the existing deep dark and related blocks/inventory items, or just prevent further spawning? https://www.planetminecraft.com/data-pack/remove-deep-dark/

Nah they drop like eight different things from like five different mods. The most important being warden charm fragments that are crafted into warden charms which make wardens unable to sense you.

For farming crops, do you prefer to have mixed farms with the outputs getting sorted/filtered, or distinct patches for carrots, potatoes etc.?

Heran Bago posted:For farming crops, do you prefer to have mixed farms with the outputs getting sorted/filtered, or distinct patches for carrots, potatoes etc.? I play using Dubs' Bad Hygeine, so I have some sprinklers that make it easy to have a planting zone with a diameter of 13 cells. I also use Variety Matters and RimCuisine, which makes having a lot of different food options important. So what I do, typically, is split each planting zone in half, and I'll rotate the crops for each field once I notice that I'm starting to get a large stockpile of one plant or another. This is also really useful for crops where maybe I don't need an entire sprinkler's worth of output constantly - things like healroot, cloth and psychoid, for example. e: this is not the Rimworld thread, huh death cob for cutie fucked around with this message at 13:57 on Sep 11, 2023 |

Been playing through Material Energy ^5 for the first time lately as a duo. It's fantastic! Things I love: - Spending some time exploring a new portal one session, then spending the next session entirely in the alchemy hub/greenhouse breaking down loot and producing resources. Both feel important and rewarding! - Curated lootboxes with useful/interesting loot. I got a "NASA Prototype" frying pan out of a lootbox that makes combat kind fun. It's got knockback 5 on it along with something that makes targets float and take damage over time - its excellent! - So far, progression feels very well paced. Each world feels dense in terms of interesting things to do, but we have been able to knock a chapter/world in 1 or 2 longish sessions. (We did choose the keep inventory true setting, which has a large impact on how quickly we are progressing.) - The questbook is maybe the best I've ever seen so far (We are about 5 "main" worlds in.) 0 errors I've noticed and all rewards make sense. - The use of command blocks is really well done. Sometimes it's a quest reward granting access to a previously unreachable area, sometimes it's spawning a chest for placing a specific block in a specific place. - Hunting for all the trophies hidden throughout the pack is cool! Having a dedicated prebuilt place to put them is even cooler! I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a pack that has not played it before.

Ponder is neat but it's very bad at actually telling you how to make or progress a bunch of key elements in Create. Also a number of elements aren't actually accessible except through nested pondering of specific objects. It would be a lot better with an index.
