I am working on a mod of my own which i want to put into my modpack I have assembled. ( http://www.technicpack.net/modpack/details/morepower.360693 ) Whilst running a beta test server at morepower.minuet-uk.com but I want to get this faction management mod done, I have the concept there, and the blocks, I need to however work out how to do a gui and tileEntity which i have never done before. The concept: You make a Management Block (worth 100 influence) inside every minecraft day it makes an extension block (1 influence) you can put 9 extension blocks in a crafting table and get a double influence block (9 influence) You can do this up to 10 times compression. If you have the most influence in a Chunk then you can do anything. if not all you can do is place extension blocks and they have to be connected to a chunk you control. meaning that faction claims work like Risk. you can extend your area or just fill your main chunk with 10 times extension blocks.

scalded schlong posted:10 compression is absolutely overkill. Consider the enormous amount of time it takes to make the octuple compressed cobblestone in Agrarian Skies. Especially if you're getting one block a day per chunk. I was thinking of making that a point, you see a couple blocks and think "I will raid them" and they have 10 layers at bedrock of 10X extensions of course they can take them up and move them if needed.... otherwise you are limited to 16x16 max blocks for claiming the other point is that you wouldnt put them all in the same chunk, you would spread out over time, maybe one block a minecraft day is too few, could make it a stack a day... 64 influence per day how does that sound....

Rocko Bonaparte posted:I am looking for clever tricks with level emitters in AE. I am using them to keep essence levels filled without running out of control. The problem is a precision export bus to a chest for dumping seeds will just unload tons of them while I am low on essence. The farming takes time so this ends up overcompensating. On Voltz i use level emitters to automate the Atomic Assemblers (Quantum Assemblers 1.6.4) You need to have a level emitter set to trigger on specific amount (ie >200) you then set the export bus to export single not stack and only active with signal. This will then output the item when there is more than 200 in the ME system. on the other side you have an import bus set up the same way except <200. In this way if you drop below 200 items it will suck them out of whatever you are putting it into (deep storage) DO NOT PUT a Storage bus on the deep storage as it will count the items in there as part of the count and not work.

Xtanstic posted:So I've never modded Minecraft before and me and my friends are thinking about getting back into the game. Normally, we just have someone run the vanilla Minecraft Server Host on their PC and we connect to them. I was wondering if hosting mods will significantly affect game performance? If not, then my next question is what's the best way to gather MP mods? Technic seems great but only good for single player? My understand is the best way to run MP mods is to get the Forge API then just search for cool mods that run that? Doing it this way means that all the mods are server side and no additional installation is needed, correct? However, you can still run clientside mods like minimaps? I used Technic pack and MultiMC to put together my own modpack. http://www.technicpack.net/modpack/details/morepower.360693 setting up the server is quite hard as you cannot have clientside only mods on the server so its not quite the same as the client setup. - you can always launch on lan a single player game whether modded or not.

I used to link them with an energy cube then have a universal cable take out of the energy cube, but you had to link to the cube with the copper cable in galacticraft. that worked in 1.5.2 (Voltz) but dunno about now in 1.6.4 but i think Redstone conduit from TE also allows the crosslink - not tested it.

Mzbundifund posted:I know balance is a dirty word around here but surely there is a middle ground between Gregtech and creative mode. The problem is how balance is often used as a code word for tedium. I like creating a giant complicated snarl of pipes and power cords in order to run some machines and produce a carefully sorted output to use in future projects. It's less fun to just go into creative mode and make it all appear in service to no further objective. Of course it's also less fun to stand in one place slowly and manually dropping magnesium dust into a vat for thirty minutes straight. Well I learnt to hate Gregtech early on. Me: "I want to craft an iron pick, I have 3 iron ingots and 2 sticks finally i can mine some good stuff" GregTech: "Sorry you need a lot more than that, I will take those ingots. Now go get a hammer and chisel as well" Me: "I have no more iron and i need to mine these diamonds i found. Please let me get an iron Pick" GregTech: "Mwhahahahaahahaha NO, now go off and play big dig if you want it that easy." But what i really like is Tinkers Construct with Iguana Tweaks, Specially with the leveling of tools turned on its a really nice system and is about in that middle ground between GT and Creative.

It'd be awesome if there were throughput upgrades, or the ability to multi-purpose a duct (add energy handling to a item or fluid duct via augments, vice-vice-versa). Then we could place "ducts" and then change them to handle items, or power, or liquids, or some combo of the three.. you could fasten ducts together with (wait for it) duck Tape...

Personally i prefer the Tinkers Construct with iguana tweaks. You get clay buckets - single use used for getting your lava for your smeltery. I have tried the enderquarry, couldnt quite get it working  Mining Turtles there is a pastebin you can use and it will only dig out every 3rd layer after digging out the bedrock layer. as it digs up and down only for items you want. Nice program and easy to use - just dont try to do 64x64 or even 32x32 as it will run out of power before it can get back to your start point to grab fuel from the left hand chest.

I'm a bit confused with NEI right now because it doesn't have the save inventory state things and all the various buttons I remember. It is just the items pages on the right and blank on the left where that all used to be. You only have the load/save stuff when you have op on a server. Also mod pack builders are tweaking their packs to make it hard all the time, For instance there is a modpack called "End of Light" that is fixed locally to not allow cheat mode etc. Very nasty.

Cerepol posted:ugh the lack of *ducts is really hurting. It took me 3 different pipe attempts to finally find one that worked with Tesseract to digital miner. Tried Mekanism as they are what I've been using all over but apparently they don't receive energy through tesseracts, switched to ender IO, but that didn't work either. I ended up using EU Transfer Nodes and Pipes to get the energy in, and then had to do the same for items after they refused to remove items from its inventory and send it back through. It's worth noting that my first attempt was just put it on the Digital Miner but I didn't get any items that way. I have thermal expansion itemducts that works with BC Quarrys and tesseracts but you have to put the pneumatic servos in to allow them to pull out (or apply redstone) that was on 1.6.4 Not tried the digital miner yet on 1.7.10 , i have been having too much fun with Stargates.

Its using tinkers Construct and Iguana Tweaks which means normal tools do not work. you have to make tinkers. Also you need to level the tool before you can mine certain ores, (hint the longer it takes to mine its likely to mean you cant mine it with that tool) I have the same with my morepower-ii mod pack on technic. but mine levels up at 75% of full xp. and you can use paxels on my one.

Vib Rib posted:Goddamn it, End of Light, why would you list iron as mining level 3 (obsidian) if it can't mine obsidian? There goes my plan of using an iron pickaxe head to skip straight to alumite. I don't suppose there's another, simpler way to get obsidian into my inventory? I dont know how EOL is set at the moment, But tinkers tools with iguana tweaks have 2 levels on them, Experience Level and Boost Level - you need to get boost level up to 100% to be able to mine the current hardness, ie you have to have a level higher than the tool to mine that item (at least what my system is set to) so Flint needs to be Boost Leveled before it can mine copper. Iron pick has to be leveled up one level to be able to mine iron. EOL is supposed to be hard so i am assuming that they are set up to use 300% or more for boost XP, on my server we have it at 75% It increases the grind but another hint - mine in the nether, Netherrack breaks quicker and you get boost XP based on the number of blocks you break times their hardness, and Netherrack is classed as stone but breaks quicker.

Vib Rib posted:Had a breakthrough in EoL mostly because I never noticed that the boost XP actually shows up on the pick after you master it. I just assumed it came as you leveled normally. So with that (turned down a little in the config, again, to avoid grinding) I was able to leapfrog up and now I've got an alumite pick ready to mine ardite. I guess in terms of material progression I should be heading for the Nether next. However I still feel insanely fragile so I might work on some armor first, and now that my pick is both fast and capable I'll probably expand my base underground a bit, and maybe start a side attraction like Ars Magica 2 or Thaumcraft. Farming is hard work, since twisters routinely uproot all my crops and farming underground isn't possible. does eol still have the particle gloves? we found those great, with redstone, water and torch/fire if you right click with the glove on, it puts a shield around you , moving around like a wheel, so we would add them multiple times and all 3 types, Laggy as hell with more than one of you doing it, but it kept some of the mobs at bay and helped against the silverfish.

I saw a post from Jeb yesterday, saying that everything is continuing with minecraft as it always has, By the sound of it they are leaving the dev team as is, just M$ is paying them not Notch. If they do change minecraft it will be to recode it in C++ / C# with DirectX rather than lwjgl At which point they will either still allow java mods to work or they will make it that only their mods work and set up a Shop to buy mods in as DLC. Until then its business as usual, I love the drama but the reality is Nothing ever changes. (often)

We also don't know the details of the agreement, I hope that it was stated that all alpha and Beta accounts retain their "upgrades for life" clause otherwise Microsoft can change it and completely renege on that agreement as they didn't make it. It would be a mine field if the text of the agreement were kept quiet. I wonder if a freedom of information request to Microsoft for the terms of the purchase could be got.

Ciaphas posted:AE2 (or AE I guess) question again. Besides the 'well, that was kind of awesome' factor, what is Spatial IO actually useful for, if anything? Spacial Pylons are great, you can actually store whole areas of land in the system, some people use these stored maps to have levels in an adventure game, but when i Played voltz on a raid grief server we discussed having players stored in the area, carried into someone's base then unpacked to provide an army of fighters within the walls.... Although i dont know if that works. but think - you can store your base in a drive and then unpack it at the new location. everything still where it was - no need to remake that clever entry door etc.

McFrugal posted:The more fuel you have reacting in your reactor, the higher the temperature will be and thus higher fuel consumption. Taller fuel rods means more fuel reacting. A checkerboard pattern, as Grimm suggested, is quite space-efficient and works well in wide reactors. Past 400% fertility is pretty decent though. If you want a cooler reactor, either make it wider and shorter or chop it in half and make a second reactor somewhere. You can also lower the control rods to reduce the amount of fuel reacting but that's essentially the same thing as having a shorter reactor! You'd just have a higher yellorium tank at that point. Also Big Reactors dont go BOOOOOM!!! so run it hot as you like as its not going to go Kaboom unlike the IC2 Reactors.

I really don't see why the wireless access points haven't been made to interact with one another the same way the wireless terminal does. Just plop down a WAP, supply power and run cables from it to wherever you need. One nice cheat we found on Voltz, If you have AE with MFFS, the MFFS remote works anywhere within range of a MFFS Capacitor and will control nearly any item in game. (The only thing we found didnt work every time was the Atomic Assemblers) and even will activate Switches and buttons. So you link up the MFFS remote to your AE Crafting terminal and it will work perfectly and because its based on the MFFS power in the capacitors within range you never need to recharge them.
