Wait wait so you have a block with more blocks inside it all bag of holding style? That's loving amazing and wonderful. I don't suppose there's a handy way to clone the block once it already has a machine setup in it? Also can I do recursion on that poo poo and have a magic block-with-more-blocks-inside-it inside such a magic block already?

For me the infuriating part about Thaumcraft is that Thaumium's so damned useful for Tinker's Construct I'm basically obliged to at least get to Thaumium in the changes-with-every-version research tree that I otherwise don't care about because it's all so goddamn fiddly.

What does an "endgame" armor setup look like in something like Sigma?

Edminster posted:THANK gently caress. You also going to fix the vegemite recipe so it allows Natura barley instead of requiring Pam's? As to the hunger length, I think my biggest problem is how incredibly opaque and non-intuitive it is. There's no way short of manually counting in a food journal how far along you are to see how much more variety you need, and even then you have to deal with an already-extant food history so sometimes you find new sources of food that are already partially depleted. It's almost great, but the last couple of flaws are incredibly irritating. I want this mod and I don't even play packs that have the hunger journal thing. This would be incentive to design a remotely decent kitchen!

I understand that for practical purposes, TiC is still the weapon mod, but are there any that like... an armory mod I forget the name of try to bring in a similarly diverse group of weapons up to and including firearms?

The problem I always had with using the traditional MFR breeder/rancher/chronotyper/slaughterhouse setup was that it always seemed like either my cows were periodically dying due to phasing into walls or else the machines'd get clogged and unlimited cows would wreck the server. It's not any criticism of MFR per se, it's that Minecraft mobs are hosed up to have to deal with in general. Sadly for MFR autospawner purposes you wind up needing SOME manner of essence input and grinding livestock is the easiest way to get it before you can afford a nether star to move a spawner with. Soul Shards 2 can ameliorate that somewhat.

Acne Rain posted:how would one get an absurd number of seeds WITHOUT magic mods, like just with minefactory reloaded + thermal expansion? Openblocks Sprinklers are ok, the MFR fertilizer gets it done but is reliant on a moderate supply chain ultimately tied to mobs. Really just shove some size upgrades in a MFR planter/harv combo, make sure you're doing something with the harv sludge and that the soil blocks get irrigated. It'll take it a while, but is a fire-and-forget way to get all the wheat and seeds you want that's MFR+TE. If you've got lilypads of fert or openblocks sprinklers feel free to throw em in but even if I had a MFR fert setup going I wouldn't use the fert on wheat.

Hey Rocko, throwing this idea out cuz you seem more capable of handling coding for this kinda thing: How about setting up the tutorial world like the alternate dimension in Twilight Forest? No need to futz with the overworld per se, some kinda portal that's easy to make whisks you off to a pre-defined dimension for all your museum/instructional needs. Fits more into the Nether/End portal aesthetic of minecraft and you'd have Twilight Forest's existing stuff to crib from.

I understand why the dynamos aren't animated but yeah part of me misses massive arrays of Railcraft boilers and steam engines puffing, pumping and clanking away. A still room full of quiet dynamos purring away so efficiently... it's just not quite the same. Same thing for watching items and power travel in the Buildcraft pipes. It was more of a pain in the rear end to set up, required more (and more expensive) materials to get anything done, and it killed server performance but man did it look cool when it was all going.

From my experiences with older versions of GregTech-containing-modpacks, eventually you will build a solar boiler just due to having so much goddamn silver and nothing else to do with it and ANY amount of "free" power sounding attractive.

Hey so last pack I played and tried this with I couldn't make it work, but you guys are talking about BFSR and new mods. So is there a way to take the O2 from that poo poo and tesseract or ender tank it to a space station or a way to fill spacesuit tanks? I ultimately gave up on bothering with mekanism's crap on that, threw abritrary energy on it, and settled on one cracker for H2 jetpack fuel and one for O2 gas tanks while venting the other from either process but that obviously is suboptimal. The part I'm most objecting to is that while I can wire up one cracker to do both, I still have to vent the excess O2 if I use my jetpack more or vent the H2 if I'm going to space more, so it winds up being just as easy to have one of each set up to auto-vent, which is wasteful. Ninja edit: Plus not a legit minecraft concern but probs a bad idea to vent H2 and/or O2 into my lab all the drat time.

Best suggestion for putting the villagers back home is a reusable safari net. It's a ghast tear and four ender pearls, but they do drop in chests sometimes and one of them would let you move as many villagers around as you wanted (one at a time, admittedly.)

Been playing Modderation: Permabanned with some friends on a server, and I gotta say it's hilarious how all of us set out to break it in different ways. One dude went straight Project E and farming EMC, another dude built a Big Reactor that made power fairly trivial, and I set up my usual MFR/TE abusive treefarm for charcoal power in steam dynamos and we're all kinda at similar levels of breaking the poo poo out of the pack. I get not all packs are so high powered but it's still fun watching us break poo poo in completely different mods/cross-mod shenanigans. In the end, though, I gotta say, Project E (the modern EE) is still the most broken. Duping anything is just too powerful.

TwystNeko posted:well, I guess I'm talking about automation. I do like how AE2 does it, as it can leverage my existing machines. It's just getting to that point that's huge levels of "filler" makework. When you literally have to get lucky and find a Charged Certus Ore block to even get started, it's frustrating. The meteorite thing too - I had a world that I couldn't find even one, and just ended up cheating in the stupid inscriber plates. I spent probably an hour just running around with a compass. Modderation: Permabanned and Modderation: FYAD Edition are goon-made kitchen sink packs where you can pretty well try out most of the notable mods and see which you like and which you don't. Project E is the modern EE and included, as is TiC and Mekanism and AE2. Also a lot of your ore/crystal/etc problems will go away quickly once you can whip up a TiC Hammer with a Steel head. There's better materials but steel's an easy one to beeline to and very strong (can mine diamond/cobalt) while still ultimately relying on mats you can mass produce for cheap repairs. Modpacks vary in how hard Steel is to get (which is why the otherwise inferior Alumite exists as an option) but in the Modderation: Permabanned steel can be made with a TE3 Induction Smelter and Pulverizer.

Trying out blightfall and I got to the part of thaumcraft where I need to use an infusion altar. Namely, I have a gold-capped greatwood wand and I want a thaumium-capped silverwood wand. I have the thaumium caps but making the silverwood core is stumping me. I set up the altar so that it turns into the multiblock correctly, and then I added relevant pillars around it so I could put the needed shards around it. Upon activating the whole thing with my existing wand, there was a lot of explosions, flux goo, lightning, lightning knocking shards off the pedestals, etc and didn't really get the silverwood wand core I wanted.
