Yeah TE is pretty good at that, you can eventually get up to something like 10x speed 20x power consumption on most machines, and you can dump extra power into powering warp itemducts so there isn't even any travel time between machines. I won't do it because I like seeing my items whiz around in the ducts too much, but it's there.

StealthArcher posted:As a warning to you and anyone else looking at it, Omp-i is currently in it's last days with this map. There's a ridiculously massive update (139>171 mods, lots of config poo poo, huge overhauls in aesthetics) coming and a whole new reworked worldgen. Probably at the latest next Saturday, hopefully sooner. Sweet. If it wouldn't take forever for you I'd love a rough overview of what's changing.

He's talking about the impending update to the OMP-i pack, due to be released later this week sometime. Currently the pack doesn't have the Progression in it, but it's still a very competent kitchen-sink style pack.

Vib Rib posted:I'm like 95% sure that only cobblestone is free, because smoothstone requires a source block or smelting in a furnace to create normally, and the consumed resources reflect that. It's a very minimal cost though, like 20 mB. SugarAddict posted:Cobblestone is free, smoothstone requires a bucket of water, and obsidian requires 1 bucket lava and 1 bucket water. Most packs have it set to be free, but there's a config option that makes smoothstone take a small quantity of lava. It's meant to represent the cost of cooking stone in a furnace using lava for fuel. Personally I think the effort involved in building and setting up an igneous extruder and aqueous accumulator combo should entitle me to not worrying about the fuel cost for cooking something as unvaluable as plain ol' stone.

It also doesn't have Pneumaticraft, and thank goodness. Botania flowers at least look good and have the common decency not to spread like weeds and automatically replant themselves whenever you try to clear them out.

Unlike Botania however, Pneumaticraft flowers when broken will drop seeds that automatically replant themselves if allowed to sit on dirt for more than 1 second, and if the flowers are allowed to grow to maturity, they will poo poo out more seeds that also plant themselves, forever.

Alkydere posted:The real annoying thing is that Endermen are immune to ranged (they just teleport) which are the real enemies I want to use TiC crossbows on. Goddamnit fucker, put that grass block down! That's my garden you're tearing up! Botania's Vinculotus flower is pretty great for them too, whenever an enderman within a large radius teleports, the Vinculotus forces them to teleport to the flower. You might not be able to hit them with your crossbow, but you can still shoot them and force them to teleport into whatever nightmarish Enderman Hell you've constructed.

A quick test says no, I murdered four in a row without a teleport. Took about 2 seconds focused fire per enderman. Disclaimer: my wand focus is Potency 5, so it didn't give them much time to escape.

If you don't want to progress that far into Botania, MFR conveyor belts can carry items and dump them onto vanilla hoppers, although you might need to redesign your killroom to use sideways-facing iron spikes instead of ground-placed punji sticks so that you can free up your floorspace for conveyor belts.

Ciaphas posted:Anyone in here know anything about Advanced Generators? I can't work out for the life of me how to actually get it to produce power on its own without other mods. The Steam Turbine seems to need steam from BR (in which case why not make a BR turbine) and the gas turbine needs gases from other mods too, near as I can tell. I haven't messed with it much, but if I recall the only way to fuel it without other mods is the rather fiddly Syngas Producer, which is basically a complicated middleman generator that eats coal and outputs steam and "syngas", which is the mod's liquid fuel.

So I'm trying out the new OMP-i pack (singleplayer), and I've noticed something odd. Whenever I try to use my mouse's scrollwheel to move single items in or out of a chest, it only works about a fifth of the time. The rest of the time the item appears in my inventory for a fraction of a second and then blinks back. I've been through the controls and I don't see anything else conflicting with the scroll wheel. Does anyone know what might be causing this? It didn't happen in OMP-i 1.3.

Hey thanks, yeah, that was (sort of) the problem. It looks like both Mousetweaks and NEI have the same scroll wheel function, and they were getting in each other's way. In case someone else has the same problem and finds this post, I fixed it by changing the WheelTweak=1 line to WheelTweak=0 in the MouseTweaks.cfg.

You don't need to level up your tools ever in OMP-i. Mine copper with a flint pickaxe, e: beaten, but yes. Use aluminum brass to make your casts. Edit again: Extra amusing option: Make a bucket out of copper, use it to bucket lava into your smeltery, and then melt your bucket down into iron in the same smeltery.

Light Gun Man posted:MAYBE you could do a certus quartz or invar tool early on? Both of those things require pretty high-level mining levels to break, but you can always brute-force it with a little TNT or creeper-wrangling. Vib Rib posted:It really is disheartening that the 1.8 update finally brings some long-awaited performance fixes and none of the modpacks moved to it. I'm sure the "my system can run this AAA game title at 120 FPS but can't run Minecraft" posts are done to death but it really is ridiculous. Even just tiny 2-person servers constantly get tripped up. Why exactly didn't they move over? I know the way objects are referenced is different, is it just that the tools like forge lagged so long that nobody wanted to go to the effort? Is this likely to change in 1.9?

Enzer posted:There was a ton of internal changes to 1.8 including how rendering works and what rendering methods were valid to use. 1.8 uses a very strict rendering method which makes implementing some mods not possible, for example the carpenters block mod, according to its dev, is not possible without certain rendering options so he can't update to 1.8 (if this is actually true, I'm unsure, it might be possible but could be incredibly time consuming). Hey thanks a lot for the detailed response. So while it's not impossible to convert most things over to the 1.8 format, it requires learning a totally different method, and a complete recode of basic stuff, combined with people not wanting to commit to the new method if it was likely to change soon. I sort of also wonder if a lot of people decided to wait for the promised modding API (ha ha).

Krakatoah posted:So along with Blightfall, I've been playing on an FTB Infinity server with some friends and the only mod I know my way around somewhat well by now would be Tinker's Construct...I've pretty much fallen in love with the armor set. In most packs, Applied Energistics is a bit fiddly but no more than any tech mod. In Blightfall it's pretty heavily gated because it requires constant power, so you'll need to get a reactor up and running before you can mess with it since Blightfall locks all power generation except reactors.

Must-Haves that add no new items or game abilities at all: - NEI (Not Enough Items) is a big one to save you the hassle of having to remember recipes. - Mousetweaks and Inventorytweaks add control shortcuts and sorting options that make basic crafting and item management much faster and less click-intensive. - WAILA (What Am I Looking At) is a highly customizable mod that adds a little pop-up tooltip whenever you mouse over a block, giving you lots of useful info about it, such as whether the tool you are currently holding can mine that block effectively, and is super super interactive with other mods. Mods that add a few new things but nothing revolutionary: - IronChests, which just lets you sink your excess metals into making chests with larger inventories. - Journeymap or Voxelmap will add a nice minimap to the corner, remember mapped terrain as you explore, and allow you to add waypoints to it, either is very nice. - EnderStorage lets you color-code your ender chests so you can have a variety of linked inventories. This is the mod that inspired Mojang to add Ender Chests to the base game. Mods with somewhat larger impact but still don't change the basic nature of the game: - Tinker's Construct, a mod that allows you to mix-and-match parts to make customized tools, so you could have a pickaxe with an iron tool rod, a steel head, and an obsidian binding. Different part materials all have different properties, and there's tradeoffs you can make between durability, mining speed, etc. It's very cool. - Pam's Harvestcraft adds new plants to farm and new foods to cook. They don't add any special abilities, but now you can adventure into the nether stocked up on PBJ sandwiches or pizzas instead of a sack of steaks. Also adds some fruit trees so you can grow an orchard. Those are just off the top of my head. I'm sure others will come up with many I missed.

Lizard Wizard posted:This is possibly a silly question, but what do the stats in Agricraft MEAN? Growth = How fast the plant grows. Higher is better, 10 is the maximum. I don't have any hard numbers, but it's quite noticable and makes a big difference. Gain = How much harvest you get off a crop once it's ready to be picked. So if you're growing wheat with a gain of 1-3 you'll get 1 wheat. Gain of 4-6 = 2 wheat, gain of 7-9 = 3 wheat, gain of 10 = 4 wheat. Crops with Gain of 10 are 4x as productive. Yes you can grow 4 pumpkins on a single plant. Strength = Resistance to weeds. Meaningless if the pack you're in has weeds disabled. Weeds are kind of a dumb mechanic, basically if you leave an empty crop stick planted it has a chance to get weeds on it, which can then spread to adjacent crop sticks, destroying the plants there if they fail a Strength check. 10 Strength = immunity to weeds. If you've never seen a weed, odds are your pack has weeds disabled, so you can ignore this stat. Even if your pack has weeds enabled, just don't be a dumb and leave empty crop sticks planted next to your garden and you'll never get weeds.

You can either cheat, or you can edit the MagicalCrops.cfg file to change the configuration back to normal. At the bottom of the file you'll see the line "B:"Essence seeds drop from tall grass"=false". Change it to =true.

Just be aware that breaking the machine destroys the interior dimension, unless you put a nether star into them, which lets them be mined up and placed again. I haven't tried to move them using dollys, transposers, or other such shenanigans.

Less complaining about ponies more posting cool machines I've been experimenting with Technomancy since StealthArcher added it to the latest OMP-i, and it's got some pretty neat stuff in it. After a few tests I discovered the Essentia Dynamo produces 96,000 RF per Ignis essentia, which is more than enough to power a galvanized bellows (RF consuming device that fuels alchemical furnaces). Here I've got a glacial precipitator pumping infinite snowballs into the furnace which is melted down into Gelum essentia, centrifuged down into Perditio and Ignis. This is basically a magic reactor that runs on water. The Everfull Urn provides infinite water, so it's upkeepless forever. It looks super cool too! Thaumcraft is spergy but man its blocks do have style.

It crashes on the main menu? Before you even open load a save? That's a bit surprising. Have you messed with the modpack in any way or are you just running it using the mods and configurations it had when you downloaded it through the launcher? How much memory have you assigned to it? OMP is a big pack and will not be able to run without much memory.

Thaumcraft has a bunch of neat concepts it addresses that no other mod does. Pollution, for instance, is something that I can't think of any other mod trying to incorporate. The problem is the pollution has to be interesting. If my options for dealing with flux are: A) let it go until it spawns a taintcreeper on my head and instakills me B) go to extreme extra effort to make 60 pharmaceutical filters or whatever to get rid of it C) pipe it into a jar and huck it at a cactus Then everyone is going to do C, and it's going to be poo poo. If, however, accruing pollution actually gives you access to some cool evil magic items, then that's great. If pollution starts making my wheat farm occasionally produce mutated Screamwheat(tm), then that's even cool. If pollution just makes all my stuff break and get more expensive, then that's garbage. I'll remain optimistic, because Warp in its current state is actually pretty cool. Yes it's "bad", but it actually has a bunch of neat effects, unlocks a cool dungeon and a bunch of neat items, and if you decide you're sick of it it goes away on its own. I'm hoping flux will end up the same way. No defending the research though, that stuff is awful.
