Reason posted:Is there anything that adds crazy/weird terrain gen? I'm bored and want to play something weird. I saw that you had already chosen one, but here's another just in case: Biosphere Configurable spheres each with their own biomes and smaller mining spheres dotted around, all floating in the sky. I find it pretty fun for a change of pace and the transportation systems it requires. For a challenge you can use the config to disable the walkways that automatically spawn.

If you put a dropper - with a redstone torch underneath it - pointing upwards underneath a pressure pad it will pop out the item on top of it and shut itself back off automatically as things are gobbled up. Perfect for as many endoflames as you could want. E: Went and dug out my old design. It's a redstone clock underneath. Fed by charcoal being pumped in from a tree farm.   And the full setup.

It has been ages since I played through Project Ozone 2. No idea if there was even a reason for that setup in the first place but at least it looked nice.

Project Ozone 2 on normal mode could work for you and your group. It's setup as a skyblock that quickly reaches absurdity with automation leading to infinite resources, massively overpowered equipment, and the ability to build a power system so hilariously overkill that if it fails will wipe out dozens of chunks in every direction. Even has a good quest book to push you in the right directions.

Sexual Aluminum posted:what is the new hotness in quest modpacks? Two personal favourites SevTech:Ages is a pack based around content gating as you advance through different tech tiers by fulfilling the quest book. Dazzling array of mods and things to do. Downside is it takes forever to load and has some questionable mods and busywork. Skytouched is a very unique spin on skyblocks that is based around flying about with the Elytra on a hard-limited map space with the ground being poisonous though not so much as to stop you from scavenging. Has a pretty decent ramp up to let you reclaim the land with outposts and steadily pushing deeper into the earth. Haven't gotten around to Exoria yet but it's supposed to be pretty decent.

McFrugal posted:I played this for a bit but the level requirement for going underground seemed daunting. How do you deal with that? Also what do you mean by outposts? I thought there was no way to avoid the miasma. The experience/miasma layer was revised recently to make it less awful - you now only lose experience from toxins and having nutritions too low. Outposts are built by having botania regeneration incense to counter the ticking damage before you get to the Wither II layer. I personally use mine to stock potions at the border for deep mining.

IC2 is everything wrong with modders who think they understand something but don't actually know anything about it then try and pass their understanding off as realism Compare/contrast it to nuclearcraft where the person making it actually knows what they're on about and cuts out the boring stuff.

Themage posted:what are the current big modpacks people are playing? Sevtech went into its final version a few months ago and is a big long sprawling pack. Probably the most unique experience I've had in minecraft with how it gates what's available and how you reach new 'Ages'. Requires tons of exploration and going deep into various mods. Enigmatica 2 Expert Skyblock is remixed skyblock that's still occasionally updated. Biggest change is how early game works without having sieves and using multiblocks for things. Those two I'm personally familiar with though there's also the big kitchen sink pack All The Mods which is supposedly pretty decent too. E: And Project Ozone 3 is currently being beta'd and close to finished which if it's anything like PO2 will be a massive, fun pack.

McFrugal posted:It outright requires 6 gigs? Sounds unplayable. Last I heard the advice was to never go past 4 gigs because the garbage collection gets too bad and performance starts to drop like a rock. 8gb allocation is pretty much the standard for big 1.12 packs. 6 if you're not using a texture pack.

Just turn down blood moon frequency if you're doing non-skyblock maps. Or turn it off. For PO2, at least, it was supposedly only there to make mob farming easier for the skyblock start.

Skylands is a fantastic 'skyblock' style start in that there are a bunch of islands made of dirt. In the sky. Skip the early dirt grind and just restart until you have an aesthetically pleasing starting area.

Oxyclean posted:Stupid question, but, did something huge change between like ... 1.7? (whatever the old really popular modding version was) and 1.12? I remember running old technic mod packs like tekkit and hexxit without issues, but trying to run the Tekxit 1.12 mod pack just has my game totally chugging and hitching to the point it's completely unplayable. To expand, everything is now loaded into memory when the game starts which can be either really good or really bad depending on the system you're using. The hitching is most likely java's garbage collection and can be helped along with code:

Ciaphas posted:Does SevTech Ages have much in the way of unified/expandable inventory storage early on, or is it all shifted to much later in the pack's progression? Age 3 has the first true sorting system with Storage Drawers and its controller. Age 4 is when you really start getting into the meat of automation and mass storage though.

Sevtech is an absolutely fantastic modpack  The guiding on the first few ages is very strict and you can get up to Age 2 after a few hours. It's only in Age 2 when the pack slams into a wall and you start digging in deep.Just make sure to check everything that unlocks with each age as the book only mentions and pushes towards a few key things in each mod, especially from Age 2 onwards.

Vib Rib posted:I've got an Astral Sorcery question: What blocks/structures actually need to be in the high-density starfield areas? The ones you find at night with the resonator or whatever that look like sparkly gas clouds? I know you build there for increased starlight (and up to Y=128 for even more), but other than the astral crafting tables I'm not sure what needs to be built in there and what can just be built anywhere. I only put my crafting altar inside the starlight spot for early game and that was more than enough to craft everything needed at night. Just make sure to surround it with those lenses until you're able to get a 900/100/100 collector. Then it's permanently full forever anyways. Haven't noticed any downsides for anything else being outside the fields.

I've found splitting blightfall into two parts is better for describing it: The first half with all of the exploration is grade-A fun. The second half with clearing taint is a horrible unfun slog. A pack that does more of the first and eliminates the second would be aces. Though I will say the first part did have the problem of the spreading taint putting a vague time pressure feeling to everything, especially because once it spread it made the landscape pretty boring.

Rocko Bonaparte posted:Do packs that tend to funnel people into Immersive Engineering tend to alter how that mod itself behaves? I am curious if there is a particularly common path challenge packs use for the sake of "progression." Sevtech, at least, features IE pretty heavily in Age3/4 though it doesn't really change the mod itself. The pack just uses the machines to gate steel and a few essential goodies while otherwise being the first real step in automated systems - making gears, rods, and the like. It's also used as the first source of ore doubling with the crusher + smelter.

If you mean the connector isn't sending power then sometimes there are only specific sides that accept it - though from your image that looks like it could be a relay and not a connector attached?

It's the mending enchant while also having an internal buffer for said xp. If you're far enough along it's better to just make the item unbreakable with 5 reinforcements. Getting a weapon with the extra damage at low durability, wearing it down to 1 durability then making it unbreakable is how you currently get the highest damage weapons in ticon.

Latest version of java? Always a huge one especially if you're using a launcher like, say, Twitch as it defaults to an old inbuilt one. How about proper command line java args? Garbage collection could be a problem when loading something big like a new dimension.

xanthan posted:So, 2 questions. What are the current quest based packs that people are liking? Love the game but can't seem to keep on playing without some definite goals. For 1.12 you've got: Sevtech. A very strict exploration and age-based pack. Caveman to astronaut while digging liberally into magic and numerous techs. Relies heavily on quests at first then loosens as ages progress while still pushing you towards where you need to go. Project Ozone 3. Latest iteration of the popular skyblock. Normal mode only right now so more of a loose progression. If you're looking for a more strict and complex experience then waiting for kappa mode and more updates would be good. Project Ozone 2 kappa mode for 1.7 is still one of my personal best experiences in minecraft. Enigmatica 2/ Expert/ Expert Skyblock. Variations of a modpack much like the above though has been out longer and more polished. The expert skyblock version in particular is a much different interpretation of skyblocking than usual as it eschews sieves and the like in favour of multiblocks. Massive questbook to keep you on track and with things to do. Exoria. Another heavily involved exploration type pack. You have a central hub world that works much like a skyblock without being in the sky - building from nothing and using that to expand, etc. Gimmick is mainly about exploring different dimensions. Questbook is decently strict about keeping you in line.

My own sevtech abyssalcraft temple uses 64 statues split into 4 groups which is massively overkill but fills the book very quickly on the central pedestal. Just build a dozen or so blocks down and cover the top with holes for the statues with one of the spreader whatevers pointed upwards at the charging pedestal and you'll never worry about spawns. Build in the abysslands and won't have to worry about biome changing either.

Make the wild dog boots asap and ignore horses entirely; the boots give speed, fall immunity, and large amounts of armour. Slime sling + slime boots also work for long distance travel although that's age 1 or 2 iirc. As to your horse disappearing there's poo poo all you can do, unfortunately.

Meskhenet posted:But i need help with my sevtech. Ive crafted my necromibook. Now i need to make the beneath portal and some ritial pedastls. I have no idea how to do that. Make a boat and ride along the waterways until you see a rectangle of dark stone; that'll be the shoggoth pit and the stone can be relatively safely mined out from the entrance. Ritual pedastal is explained in the book and also is just a circle of stone around a stone pillar which is then right clicked with the book.  In my own sevtech early on I created a boating network that relied on only short land crossings which helped significantly with speed, but getting around is definitely the hardest part of the first ages until you get the sling + boots. No idea what coriline is?
