Mr Scumbag posted:I wish someone just made something like openblocks elevators with the three dyable nodes like ender tanks so you could place them anywhere, tune them to each other with dye, teleport at will and just forget about it. I really miss Runecraft for this reason. Teleporters were made with a four-block signature, which could be anything but dirt or smoothstone. Free transportation, total minimum cost eleven cobble and one plank.

Sistergodiva posted:Playing agrarian craft with a few friends. We didn't get any chickens from our eggs and still working on getting eggs from bees. Any way to get humanus/mortuus/spiritus scanned with thaumcraft without using a research table? So frustrating not being able to progress, since we split the mods up a bit between us. Heard that something in the farming quest was supposed to give chicken spawner eggs, but I don't want to do all the quests for my friend who is taking care of the farming, anyone know exactly what the reqs for that quest it? In AS1 you can make chicken spawners from arrows in the alchemic chemistry set. Each one is 200 LP, or one heart of damage from you. Make one and autospawn it, or chug a regent potion and hurt yourself for a shitload of LP.

axelsoar posted:Just curious, would it be possible to make a 'bag' to hold a lot of 1 item, that places one of the block when you right click and opens if you shift+right click? Maybe it doesn't even need to be operable with a proper inventory, just have it turn them into a stored number that iterates down when used, and shift +rmb just pulls a stack out, or what is left if it has less than a stack. Direwolf uses something like that, it shows up as /dev/null. No idea what it's from.

Blind Duke posted:Unstackable materials suck balls to craft with and milk/water make me want to go vegan in food mods. Some system for getting stacks of milk/water sources for crafting food, or a dummy item in the crafting station that automatically drains from a nearby container for crafting would help immensely. HarvestCraft's fresh water and fresh milk items are my favorite way of dealing with this. Just craft your bucket for four units of the "fresh" ingredient that stacked normally. I always just made a liquicrafter for each version and filled a barrel just so I didn't have to gently caress with it. quote="Serifina" post="451515888"] My only request for a new food mod is please don't go too far overboard with how many new crops you add. HarvestCraft adds like 8 billion things and some of them are utterly worthless or we have 500 different versions of the same exact food. When you add a new crop or other new foodstuff, please just ask yourself if you can add a meaningful number of new, final food items with it, and not just one more variety of this food other items already make. [/quote] Dunno if you ever saw it, but Pam was actually taking donations/commissions for HarvestCraft. If you paid X amount you could ask for a new food with the current ingredients, or for more you could commission a whole new plant for the mod. That's the main reason it got so bloated. Still doesn't excuse the bloat, though.

I found high level blood magic pretty easy in agrarian skies if you played around with deep tanks. Use an altar with a bunch of sacrifice runes and a well of suffering ritual, combined with a bunch of runes of dislocation pumping into a tesseract. The tesseract goes into the deep tank, which empties into your main altar, which also had a shitload of dislocation runes in it. I got to the point where I made an entire stack of nether stars all at once in like ten seconds because I vented almost my entire giantass deep tank of blood straight into it. Has it changed recently? I haven't quite hit it in Regrowth yet.

Rocko Bonaparte posted:I'll probably end up mentioning both, but the liquicrafter is novel for when you don't really have power generation even going on yet. Then again, nobody's usually making 64 blocks of butter without a powered rancher anyways. I have to see if anything I have in BFSR make clocks easier, or if I will have to explain redstone shenanigans. I use liquicrafters even after I've got a reactor or whatever up. Not having to run power to where you want to make stuff is super useful, and if it's making a stack or less I usually just hook it up to a lever. If you have Extra Utilities it has a clock that pulses every half second or so and is usually good enough for Pam's salt and fresh water crafting or whatever other long-term poo poo you have going.

Hey Rocko, have you considered Agricraft for BFSR? There seems to be a lot of packs starting to include it, and it seems like it would be a pretty easy thing to teach - one quest for making Crops, one for crossbreeding a specific plant, one for making an irrigation system, and one for. . . resource crops or something? I dunno, they were useful in AgSkies 2.

Bhodi posted:I actually ran into this issue myself and hunted it down; basically it could be considered a bug in HQM - detection doesn't properly automatically register multi-step quest parts past the first properly for some reason. It's on my mental checklist to avoid, along with crafting quests, when possible, simply because of this annoyance. If you have individual quests gated behind each other, it seems to "detect" all quests at once, so if you had, say, a crafting table behind a quest to make wood planks, and another quest behind that that uses the crafting table, if you just made the third item right out you'd be able to "complete" past all 3 quests one after another even though the first two aren't in your inventory anymore. But whatever's doing the detection in HQM is only checking the first part of a multi-step quest. This is probably why I haven't been able to unlock the diamond quest in BFSR. It's still stuck at 2/4 required quests, despite having everything else done in the vanilla and tinker's questlines.

A friend of mine got me a copy so we could co-op it. My impression was that it's a really cool game with a bunch of good ideas that really does play like a mix of Minecraft and Factorio. The main problem is there are vast gulfs of tedium between the cool teching up bits, and there's really never any risk of dying unless you're trying to speed things up. Example: I decide I want to go mining and get some ore to make stuff.
It's a cool game with some really good ideas, but right now it's pretty much gregtech.exe.

SugarAddict posted:Smeltery drain -> filtered fluiduct -> casting basin or table. You hook the fluiduct directly to the drain, not to a fauset, then you set the fluiduct to extract and power it. What I ended up doing in AS1 was going smeltery drain -> filtered fluiduct -> casting basin -> fluiduct -> casting table. If you had a bunch of metal it would fill the basin and harden while also filling the table. The blocks got autocrafted into ingots before storage, IIRC. We eventually had to upgrade to using resonant tanks before the casting basins to get a buffer for the fluid, or it would back up and we'd fill the high oven. It's probably not as much of a problem with a smeltery of any sane size.

Goncyn posted:I have to apologize to KingLemming for the things I said months ago about the crafting recipes for Thermal Expansion. Now that's I've properly played with Thermal Expansion + friends, I think they're among the best-designed mods out there. There's a lot of content and interaction among the machines without the sort of runaway complexity or rampant micro-crafting I was fearing. The recipes are only a couple steps deep, and they're logical enough with few enough basic materials required that I've already started to memorize them. Finally, the servo/filter/retriever duct system is amazing. I honestly don't think EnderIO compares favorably in any of these respects. I actually feel the opposite, in that I absolutely hate the servo/filter/retriever system. Making them is a pain in the rear end and clogs my chests with nuggets, then I have to go and spend enderium or other annoying-to-make materials on loving servos to make them go at a resonable rate or get at places to upgrade them and aargh just give me back my pneumatic servos and crescent wrench. OTOH, trying to ditch TE pipes got me to finally play around with Transfer Pipes from ExU. They're actually pretty terrible if you try to use them for pipes, but at least now I know!

If you need salt in a skyblock use a liquicrafter. It doesn't take any power and you can set up a salt and a fresh water crafter on the same Redstone clock.

Taffer posted:Yes, hundreds of MB of RAM. MC is always a mess with memory, but decocraft is exceptionally bad. Reading this thread and the Roguelike thread is always a little weird. Other games take 6-8 GB RAM and things like Skyrim mods will eat as much as you give them, but Minecraft's "hundreds of MB" is to much!!! I get that it's because Minecraft's memory management can be charitably called a dumpster fire, (and a lot of people who play roguelikes would upgrade by switching to an actual toaster) but I always enjoy seeing these posts. For actual content, has there been any rumblings about a TE release for 1.9? I'm thinking of compiling a modpack for shits and giggles, would I be better off waiting?

McFrugal posted:So uh, it looks like Better Questing does not give modpack authors the ability to update the questbook in a pack. Once a world is made, BQ doesn't care about the json file in the config directory and exclusively uses the json file in your saves, which ALSO tracks completion data and thus can't be edited easily by copypasting sections from a new base json file. I guess this makes sense if the author wanted to avoid the quest book resetting that happens when people update HQM books, but now you can't update the book without making a new world so uhh, good job? Hey Shukaro, how's your quest replacement thingy coming along?

The mega packager is also used to fulfill contracts, which can actually get some pretty decent returns of coins/badges. I find it only works if you have the thing you're filling, i.e. the contract or the crate, in the upper-left corner slot. The rest of the stuff goes in the other slots without stacking. So if you have the Cheap contract that requires 5 diamond nuggets and 50 emerald nuggets, you would have exactly 50 slots with emerald nuggets in them and 5 slots with diamond nuggets. If you have 51 slots of emerald nuggets, it won't work. Then you can pull the filled contract out of the output slot. If you have multiple of the same contract, you can put everything in at once, just like a huge-rear end crafting grid. That's all the packager is, really. For crates, it's basically the same, but you have to have at least 100FMC worth of crap in a crate to craft it. If you have 20 fence posts in there and a crate in the upper-left slot, you get a 100FMC crate. I think you may have to have an exact multiple of 100, I dunno I've never tried it. Once you have filled crates, you can combine filled crates directly in a normal crafting grid but it's a little finicky until you hit 1000FMC. There's no 800FMC crate, IIRC, so if you have a 500FMC crate and three 100FMC crates you won't be able to shove them together. TL,DR: The contract or crate you're filling goes in the upper-left slot of the packager. Don't bother with making crates of less than 1000FMC, it's a pain in the rear end. Don't use the mega packager for crates of 1000FMC or more.

Falcon2001 posted:What sort of renewable systems are people using to generate FMC? I play Minecraft very slowly, but compressed cobble can be used pretty well. 3x gets you 1500, 4x gets 3500-ish. Mob drops can also be used if you have a grinder setup. If you have a surplus of RF, you can also go from cobble to gunpowder and crate that. Also see if any food items have FMC - stuffed eggplants should be pretty good, or hamburgers.

Quotin myself to say stuffed eggplants don't have FMC, but vanilla foods do, so making bread is good for 25/FMC each - using a SAG mill and running that flour through a redstone furnace with the food doubler upgrade means each wheat is worth 100FMC for a bit of RF. Gunpowder is also 500, so a few upgrades on your production chain can really get some income there. It's significantly cheaper than all the redstone you need for a Extra Utilities cobblegen, too.

Falcon2001 posted:Alright. Will try and remember how to set up a spawner system :\ Cursed Earth has spoiled me. Might make a trip into that roguelike dungeon. Precision sawmill to get sawdust, four sawdust per cardboard box. Get two smallish backpacks, fill one with the empty boxes and use the other for holding the boxed spawners. When you get to the roguelike dungeon, box up all the spawners and put them in the floor of your spawn room. Run redstone lamps in the ceiling so you can stop the spawners whenever you want. Hook up Openblocks fans along the walls to push everything into the range of the grinder/spike/other killer. If you can hold off until the lower levels of the dungeon, there are probably a few creeper and enderman spawners to grab, and maybe even a blaze spawner. You'll get plenty of skeleton and zombie spawners in the upper level.

Potato Salad posted:Have they started developing a C# client that's more than the Minecraft Portable/Console featureset? Yes and no - the C# client is the MCP codebase, but anything they would add first goes into MPC first. So when the update finally comes out that unifies all three codebases, it won't be anything new to console or portable users. As for modding, all I got from the dev I was talking to last PAX was "there's some cool stuff that Forge is doing that I'm looking into but I'm not allowed to talk about it", so that's both encouraging and terrifying.
