I just want to give a shoutout to the guy who made Baby's First Space Race. I'm visiting my aunt and her 9 year old and his friend are really big into Minecraft. I managed to get them set up with the Technic launcher because all they've played so far is some repulsive collection of pay to win public servers with vanilla. After they got their bearings, the absolutely ridiculous ore gen rates has them running around like coked up puppies screaming their heads off. It's so bad that they are actually flipping out and doing cartwheels on the floor in excitement every time they discover something new. After they settled down I spent a few hours teaching them Tinkers Construct and they're really taking to it. Great modpack  Gave up trying to make them follow the quest book though.

I just discovered the drawers for sorting items and holy poo poo have my eyes been opened. The addition of a controller just takes away everything tedious about sorting your items, minus the initial round of sorting everything into the drawers in the first place.

Azanor's been talking up Thaumcraft 5 features and it looks quite interesting. - Vis will no longer reside in nodes, instead it will reside in chunks as aura. - Aura has a potential and current value, chunks gain bonuses or penalties based on the biome. Jungles will have high potential but have high terra and aqua, deserts will have low potential but have high ignis. - Vis will move from chunk to chunk based on the differential of its neighbors but only if the difference is large, it's possible to spend and use up all the vis in an entire world. - Aura nodes don't contain vis anymore and simply refill a chunk as a generator. - Flux is now both an aspect and a type of vi that drains into the aura. If there's too much flux in the aura it can start to generate taint, flux will also spread across other chunks. - There will be many systems to try and control flux and taint. - Wands are now charged passively from the aura instead of directly from a node.

I'm actually interested to see what he'll do with void jars. Because it would sound like the best way to deal with extra vi in alchemy or whatever is to just pipe it straight into a void jar so it doesn't turn into flux and forget about it.

Vib Rib posted:gently caress no. Yeah it doesn't really sound that great on paper. He's said that only loaded chunks will be considered to help on performance but all these posts were in January/February so changes may have been made. I'm not actually sure what his plan is for nodes with this system. Sure you can stack a bunch of them around your base for passive generation of vis but if that's their only use then their whole existence is superfluous.

Well he's not completely wrong. The basic idea is basically applying the workshop method to the smelter/alembic in that it grows gradually with your capabilities. You start out with a dinky little poo poo machine that spews pollution everywhere but over time as you amass resources you expand and refine it into something useful. Depending on the full size of it I can see it simply moving from big 32 capacity alembics to them drizzling off into a jar and your golems taking it from there and sorting it. But it is a bunch of extra steps for very little gain except flavor and a bigger footprint. That all hinges on whether or not he'll allow lots of connections to the basic smelter block or if it only interacts with add-ons that are directly adjacent to it.

Thyrork posted:I threw my hat in, Demiurge4. Lets see how quickly we get banned. Yeah I don't really know how draconian that forum is but it's generally a sloppy blowjob in all the mod threads. I think the multiblock furnace idea has great potential but I'm not sure he's not just gonna make it a 3x3 block you activate with a wand, like the infernal furnace. That or it just interfaces with adjacent blocks. That said I think a modular multiblock system would be wonderful and I cooked up something quick and dirty to demonstrate how a setup could look.  Each of the size 8 alembics simply deposit into a jar as they did in TC3 where it gets sorted by golems. Excess flux is filtered up through a chimney or whatever thing he invents for it and turns all or most of it into harmless vis that gets absorbed by the aura. Smelting time is improved with various booster modules attached directly to the furnace and for added efficiency of all of it you can attach a control module and boost it further with a brain in a jar. That would be a pretty decent continuation and upgrade path for your workshop where you're encourage to improve the efficiency of your setup as you move up the tech tree and start generating more and more flux. I also adore the idea of essentia specific flux that generates various effects in the aura based on its concentration.

Brainstorming some essentia specific flux because that idea is cool as hell. - Split flux into two types. Essentia specific and tainted flux. - Any flux generated is always essentia specific. - When flux is vented into the aura through a variety of magical processes it has a chance to convert into tainted flux. - The chance that flux turns into tainted flux can be reduced with filters and more advanced machines. - Flux will break down over time and leave the aura, it does this by triggering a magical effect in the chunk and can be biome specific. - Ardor flux will cause new saplings to sprout randomly in forest and jungle biomes, cactus in deserts. Aqua flux will cause it to rain, etc. - Some flux effects can combine, Ardor will react with Praecanteo and spawn greatwood or silverwood saplings (silverwood only in magical forest biomes). - Make all of these reactions secret and it'll be something fun for the player to do, to see what combinations he can come up with. Higher concentrations of flux have higher chances of firing. - A high concentration of Praecanteo can completely change biomes and react wildly, creating new mob varieties and cool effects. Greatwood blocks will break and turn into wild golems, toads will rain from the sky and gold flowers will sprout from the earth. - Tainted flux will not create it's own effects but merely have a chance of being consumed alongside other flux and create bad effects. Benign examples can be two headed cows, mutated mushrooms and thunder storms. More severe effects are tainted mobs and traditional taint effects. Now that I've thought about it the aura system could be really fantastic if done with Fun things in mind, rather than adding tedious bullshit. Bring it on.

Continuing TC chat:quote:So I made some decisions regarding the smeltery. I will not be adding the flux that is created to the internal store itself - it will just be vented into the aura directly. I tried it the other way and it was just too much of a pita. There was also too many ways getting around it making flux management trivial. This way it WILL go into the aura and you will have to deal with it with any means at your disposal. Basically nothing's changed about the furnaces then, except maybe some ways to add upgrade attachments. Still, I like the new look.

I'd really love to play Blightfall in multiplayer, but it needs a lot of updating and stability fixes first. It's a fun mod though and I played a bunch of it in singleplayer on the first release. Thaumcraft is just such a good mod, despite all its faults.

So a while back I set up a Baby's First Space Race world for my cousin and one of his friends (they are 10 and 12) and they're absolutely loving it. Some of the more technical mods are harder for them to use though but they've managed to use the smelter I set up for them and learned how to create steel and even made a builders wand a few days ago but otherwise they've just been stockpiling resources with no real goal in mind. I'm planning to set up a passive big reactor and a machine network for automated storage and sorting of various items they can pull from but I'd also like to guide them along the path of space exploration, since that's kind of the point of the mod. Any tips for what I could build that would be useful for them? I was thinking I'd at least set up some sort of automated fuel refinery process that can work mostly independently as well as a farm with biofuel generation for jetpacks (they still haven't managed jetpacks). I've never really gotten into tech mods much since I've most enjoyed Thaumcraft themed modpacks so I'm a bit at a loss where to go with it. Edit: Oh and because their world is hosted locally and they play through a LAN connection when one of them visits the other, (they live quite far apart) I'd like to set up a VPN for them to use so they can still play it together online. Would I be able to do that with something simple like LAN Bridger? Demiurge4 fucked around with this message at 09:03 on Jul 3, 2015 |

I tried the OMP TFC package and it was scary and alien. I think I'll stick to better things. Edit: Thatch lets zombies walk through it but it also blocks line of sight, so if you hide in your thatch hut before the zombies spawn they won't find you.

I only just realized that you're looking out at the three other pods from your own pod. That guy on the left is gonna die next  Wonder if they're changing up the glass dome starts or dropping you near silver wood groves in the new version.I'm so incredibly pumped to start running about to fix the worlds aura. I'm probably gonna spend way too long clearing huge tracts of grassland to repopulate and reforest. Incidentally, anyone up for starting a multiplayer game with the new version? Would be cool to play with a few people in different teams and do some trading.

The current version has tons of hidden stuff you can find if you're clever and creative enough. Personally I'm hoping for a new map to go with everything and ill be checking the he'll out of that cave. I'll probably also beeline for the silvered Grove and set up my home there though.

I cleaned up the swamp island and I'm trying to get a smelter up and some basic farming. Haven't found gently caress all iron though. Started cleaning up one of the bigger islands too but there's a cave on it so keeping it clean is gonna be a hassle until I can tech up to better taint clearing. Really. Just getting past flint is a pain in the dick but it should be good when I finally.do get past it.

I wish I was more organize when teching up. I have a mess of chests everywhere with random bits and bobs in them. Terraformed most of the second swamp delta island though so now I have a ton of real estate. I'll probably use that for farming and botania stuff and there's a zombie spawner underneath I'm gonna try and use to get some brains. My 5 silverwood saplings will be used to turn the last island into a magical forest biome so I can try to farm mana beans. Is there a good way to make plants that are biome specific grow? All the oak trees I plant are regular no vines stuff. I want to make the swamp look like a swamp.

I only have four diamonds and is there a way to get a crusher for silicon besides hoping for it in a machine bag? Rubber is such a bitch to get but I haven't found a tree anywhere so in stuck farming bitumen.

I'll have to post pictures too but my poo poo is ugly as sin with way too much chest sprawl. I moved out of my dome really early though and I just live on the swamp islands that I've turned into a magical forest biome with a LOT of silverwoods. My gate to energistics now is a pulveizer for quarts. I also unlocked the dawn machine which looks like a lot of work. I think I'll build one of those taint trees for easy taint aspect fruits.

Glory of Arioch posted:Lots of cool poo poo. That's a nice setup. I think I'll post mine after I finish redecorating and sorting out my loving inventory. I have an abundance of silverwood because every tree I've put up and knocked down has nettet 1-2 saplings. I think I have 12 of the things spread around right now and I'm going to start farming them soon. I leave the pure nodes up and make them into a kind of silverwood bushes because I like the biome and (I think) they help with thaumcraft stuff. I'm going to spend all that silverwood building a redwood sized silverwood because I am a mad man. I want that greatwood home setup I found, but I want it silver. I really don't bother putting my thaumcraft setup elsewhere because it's honestly pretty safe, but I live on an island so I may change my tune when I delve into the void stuff and build myself an actual tainted island with the cool tainted wood and tainted stone I can make that doesn't have growths on it.
