SetPhazers2Funk posted:Anyone using the Toast pack having trouble finding the appropriate 'decorative tin' block used to construct space stations? The only block I can seem to find (aside from the ones that spawn with the station) has some weird lines on the top and sides and overall doesn't look very good. Mess around with where you place the tin, it affects the output result. You'll want to do it with a crafting table. I don't remember which set will give you what you want, but it doesn't show up in NEI.

Taffer posted:What mods don't work with Forge anymore? Anything that doesn't is basically from the Dark Days of modding and is hopelessly outdated. Either that, or it's made by some pretentious modder who refuses to even take a small amount of effort to work with other things. I'm double checking myself, but I think what eh4 is running into is something that couldn't happen on the old launcher. With the new launcher you can set up profiles that allow you to keep multiple versions of Minecraft installed, like the Technic Launchers have allowed you to do for a while now. However, in order to make that work the new launcher has messed up the "directory structure" as eh4 puts it. Folders are no longer in the same place and files (and other folders) are no longer in the same folders as 1.5 while using the new launcher, even when you're using a 1.5 install, and that's messing with mods that worked in 1.5. On top of that, Forge changed their setup for 1.6, which is less of an issue as you can use an older version of Forge to match the MC version.

You're going to run in to this problem no matter what you do. A large amount of people just do not read manuals, tutorials, guides or instructions. Whether it's people throwing together an IKEA bookshelf ("I don't need to read manuals.  Wait, what's this extra screw used for?"), gamers not paying attention to dialogue or tutorials or any other example, all you can do is provide the information so if someone comes to you and asks how to do something you can point them to the explanation and let them know it's right there, they just need to read it.For an example, years ago my Dad took our family to a Superbowl party, and a bunch of us kids went and played the N64 on their other TV. We were playing a new file on Donkey Kong 64 and got to the point where you get the Coconut Shooter. The kid who owned the game piped up, "Even though we've got it, we can't use it yet. We don't know how to." Funnily enough it says right when you get the item the buttons needed to use weapons, and I just happened to catch them as the kid mashed buttons through it. I was the Cool Kid with the controller for the most of the night after that. Sure, we were a bunch of stupid kids then, but this attitude rarely disappears with age. In the old Xenoblade LP thread Lethemonster both showed off mechanics that other people hadn't known about and found out about mechanics from other posters in the thread, most of which were mentioned, if not completely explained, in the mandatory 1-4 page tutorial pop-ups that pause the game until you've gone through all of the pages. There's hundreds of millions of other examples abound across the internet, and I know I'm guilty of doing it too. You can't ever prevent it without physically being next to the person, so the best you're going to be able to do is make sure it's available to the players so it's up to them to read or ignore at their own peril.

So it seems that IC2 is finally undergoing some semi-significant changes for 1.6! With as little information there is (for example, I don't think GregTech is on the server but it might be) it's hard to say for sure, but I get the feeling that they're kinda going in the wrong way here and shooting themselves in the foot after already being knocked down by Thermal Expansion, Applied Energistics and Modular Power Suits.

Today's episode from Direwolf20 continues with more IC2 stuff. Nothing too major, but there's a few head scratchers there. Most importantly, you'll want to listen to Soaryn at around the 19 minute mark. IC2 Cells do not have a recipe, and will not until Xycraft is in. I think he mentions released, but I can't quite hear him and it's probable that he doesn't mean finished even if he did. Cells are of course used for Geothermal Generators (Which are now slightly nerfed by outputting 12000 EU instead of 20000 EU per bucket of lava, at the same rate of 20 EU/t though.) so those are uncraftable unless you cheat in Cells. The reasoning Soaryn gave for this makes some twisted sense, but it's still completely ridiculous.

Vib Rib posted:That said, it's still way too much trial and error, and it doesn't in any way resolve the problem of being a tedious chore once you've completed it the first time. I don't mind teching up AE, TE, or MFR. But that research system doesn't look anything more like something I'd want to do twice. It depends on how random it is. It immediately tells you what thing you're researching, so there's no guesswork there. Presumably, every research will have to same requirements so after your first time you will, aided by a wiki or such if needed, know what's needed to light up the symbols. After that it's just a matter of moving the symbol to the correct place and then you're done. If the page for a research looks the same every time then you can skip the identify step and move the symbol as needed. If the symbols for the elements remain the same, then you can also skip the identify step as well since it looks like there's only one Fire and one Magic symbol on that page, you just have to play Where's The Symbol, and only if you don't have the needed element to show it right away. Admittedly, it doesn't completely get rid of the chore for every time after the first (edit: And with the way Minecraft is set up it's almost impossible to completely get rid of it and keep the research aspect, at least without putting in shortcuts that will let you skip tiers of research*. That might work, but with how easily available that information will eventually be, why have individual research in the first place?), but it's now simply replaced by a little minigame instead of requiring you to mash your head against an RNG grinder every time. *Edit2: Making research tier based, rather than item/mechanic based, would actually be a welcome change in my opinion. That very likely isn't going to happen though, so I'll take what simplifications Azanor does put in. If I ever got fed up with it, then I would just stop using Thaumcraft.

Rutibex posted:That looks....tedious in the extreme. I've got to say nothing about these reveal videos is getting me excited about Thaumcraft 4 at all. He hasn't shown off any new features at all; just that wands are going to be prettier and more irritating to use and now a research system that is largely trial and error. Thaumcraft 3's research was kind of novel; hunting for the various aspects made a lot of sense based on what you where discovering/what you where researching. It was kind of boring the second time around, but this looks boring from the start. I guess I'm missing something then, because this system looks a lot less tedious to me. Discovery seems to remain the same; he didn't pull up the research page until he tried Fire, and combining Fire and Magic makes sense for a wand cap that makes your wand shoot fire. As for the combined aspects, the Aspects of Magic node had a flashing icon on it at the end that wasn't there before, which leads me to believe those will be readily available to look up after you've discovered them the first time. The only thing I can see that immediately jumps out at me as worse is that the discovery doesn't pop out a little hint when you mouse over it. I'm just guessing on this point, but it's possible he removed them and I'd only be a little sad if so as they were usually so vague that they were useless to begin with. It's also possible that you can pull that info up in the Thauminomicon after discovering it but before finishing your research, by clicking on the discovery in the research table or, something that would be really nice, you can click on the node before discovery but after researching something connecting to it so you know where to begin rather than randomly throwing aspects around to start a discovery. What makes it seem so tedious to you guys? Eox posted:Liquid Vis/Taint was actually a lot of fun, and had a lot of potential to be different from 'Yet Another Minecraft Energy Concept', but unfortunately the author can't iron out the kinks in a mechanic and instead prefers to throw the baby out with the bathwater. This isn't really fair. If that was the case then research would be gone too, instead of actually being better than the horrendous time sink in TC2 where you had to throw stacks of items into a block and let it randomly make one of multiple different types of pages, which had to then be thrown in the same block with even more stacks of items to get a small chance at getting a random new page to your book. Not to mention the reasonably high chance of losing stacks of items or individual pages to failed research. If you weren't using stacks of bookcases or stacks of diamond blocks, you were just wasting resources. And really, aspects are more of a different energy system than liquid vis/taint. At it's most basic, what's the difference between a solar generator that puts EU into a battery box through wire compared to a Vis generator that puts liquid Vis into a Vis tank through Vis pipes? The liquid Taint was the only quirk there, but EU had its own quirk through EU/t scaling; too much and your machine would blow up. At least when you start with the aspect system in TC4 you're going around the world and examining items, blocks and creatures to get you primal aspects, which can be combined into compound aspects which you can begin collecting after discovering them individually or after discovering the base aspects needed. Aspects also seem to be player bound, so you don't have to set up some kind of tesseract equivalent in order to have access to your full stock of aspects at your friend's base or in the Nether.

Rutibex posted:I just dislike the decoupling of aspects from items. I thought that part was really clever. Iron ingots have the metal aspect, but combine them into a bucket and you can get void too! He could have just got rid of the part where the item are destroyed and it would have been perfect. Combining different base aspects to get more complex ones doesn't feel like "research" to me, it's too abstract and disconnected from actual Minecraft. I'll have to double check the video later, but if you pause and read the pages I think he does mention items along side creatures and blocks. The process you use to get aspects is by pointing the thaumometer at something, and it doesn't consume whatever it is, so it sounds exactly like what you want. I could be wrong though, and you can't use items. As for the compound aspects being unlinked from items, that's not the case. He mentions being unable to get Lux from anything until you discover the base aspects, but then you can collect them in the same way as the rest. I'll have to recheck the video later, as I'm posting this from my 3DS, about to get to sleep.

thevortex- posted:funny you include Xycraft in that list, its becoming a 'legacy' mod in its own right, with no updates since 1.4.7 its joining redpower on the 'also ran' list of past minecraft mods, took it long enough to become usable as it was, then it disappeared into the 'updating.. no ETA' bin I haven't been keeping up with Direwolf's stuff since I last mentioned the IC2 stuff. For anyone that has, are IC2's Cans working? Soaryn asked that they wait until Xycraft was on the server before making them usable, as I believe they are using some of his code to display liquid for an item icon without needing to make separate icons for each liquid, which he's using for buckets. It seems a bit ridiculous to me that he made that request, why not just ask for credit? Or does the perception that someone released a feature on a beta/alpha piece of software, that isn't even available to the public yet, first matter so much to him?

Thermal Expansion 3 has only recently come out of a beta state, right at the start of the holiday season.

Definitely recommend at least a paper binding for an extra modifier slot, since those weren't a major part of the tool last I played. For the rod I'd go for as high of a durability multiplier as you can easily get, but it's not as important as that extra slot. I'd even say paper rod, but the multiplier on that is so low I don't think it's worth it.Khorne posted:(paper/green slime I guess? not 100% sure). Paper binding with a green slime rod makes for an excellent start, using blue slime if you can't find a green slime is a good substitute though.

The Yogscast YogLabs series just covered a really cool mod called StarMiner from a Japanese developer. I don't know how the developer managed it, but it allows you to walk on certain pads, whether they're placed on the floor, wall or ceiling. It apparently also has ways to effect gravity without relying on the pads, but I'm not entirely sure how that works with just a little messing around on my own after throwing it into Attack of the B-Team. The gravity pads.  Something you can do inside of a bit of worldgen added by the mod. The mod they show a little bit of in the beginning (that I skipped over in the link above, if it works) is Sync, which also looks really cool. It allows you to transfer consciousness between clones of yourself, which are made through machines powered by treadmills operated by animals. Their previous video covered it well enough.

Vib Rib posted:I'm sure most other people have figured this out already, but every crafting table you make (that won't be summarily crafted into something else) should be immediately recrafted by itself in the grid to produce the more table-looking version, at least. This version, unlike the vanilla version, can store items on its own grid, so if you are making a complex recipe and forgot one piece, then leave the table, those parts will remain in their shape on the table, rather than puke themselves all over the floor. Do they work with InvTweaks added key+click modifiers and extra keys yet? That's something for TiC I've always been annoyed by, mostly the extra inventory you can get for it. Better Storage, or whatever it's called, as well. That mod's even worse since it's all storage. W/S+click is so handy, not to mention middle mouse to evenly spread out items in the crafting grid. It doesn't seem like it when you first start using them, but after a while now InvTweaks changes are as needed for play as NEI is for me.

I like to process my stuff in batches of 9, so it's really easy to pull out blocks of metal.

It is likely because of the sharpness, which you got from leveling the tool up. See the Skill Level: Master? That normally starts out Clumsy or somesuch, and every time it levels up you get a random modifier based on how you leveled it, plus an empty modifier slot every other level or so, as well. Edit: If you get a modifier from level-up, it won't show the x/50, just the base modifier.

Here's an unrelated AS tip: if you're ever worried about falling off your little slice of land, take a couple Ender Pearls and make the Warp Book and a Warp Page. Set your Warp Page to your pool of water, because you will still take falling damage if you've fallen far enough, and after putting the page in the book set it to an easily accessible slot. If you're playing single player the book will pause the game when you open it, allowing you to choose your pool at your leisure. The book can hold up to 54 pages, so it's also great for getting around your island and saving time and hunger. Just make sure you're standing on a full block when you set your Warp Page. If you're standing on a half block you'll warp just underneath the surface of the block and will fall through to your death. Edit: The book also works across dimensions, so if you find yourself in a tight spot in the Nether you can just warp back home. Edit2: Woops, shouldn't forget to mention that you don't want to use it from the Book Binder since it will crash your client. Onean fucked around with this message at 05:09 on May 14, 2014 |
