new horizons, day three having rendered an entire tree down into six torches against the pitch-black night, i have set out on a quest to find copper. i personally have my doubts on whether copper exists as a concept in the world of gregtech, but the quest book insists that it does. small copper ores torment me. they may provide an ingot or two, but the quest book will not accept them. no, it says. i want malachite. i want chalcopyrite. the small ores are supposed to be signposts to greater deposits. they are lies talc ore mocks me, embedded in the cliff faces, hanging just out of reach and the same colour as malachite. grossular and fuckin' garnet ore studs every available surface of all biomes ever. the black slashes of mineral sand are everywhere, and i begin to resent having to process so much iron. i have an infinite supply already - picking up oil in a clay bucket transmutes the container into metal. i assume this is the same strange alchemy that makes flint swords set mobs on fire, and that makes random explosions happen when i kill things i have stolen materials for a smeltery from a neighbouring village, that i might process metals without laboriously draining a swamp of water one bucket at a time to put together the necessary seared bricks. it turns out i need oven gloves to move lava, which are made out of extremely flammable cotton. chests in dungeons, mineshafts contain stacks and stacks of lavishly cooked feasts, and shards of iridium, chrome, steel. an embarrassment of riches that i cannot process as i am stuck in the stone age, grubbing for flints, clad in stolen silver trousers and boots that a flaming spider dropped. where the gently caress do i find copper? is this a biome thing or what

gregtech new horizons continues to amaze. i never knew making a piston would be so convoluted i think if the modpack used actual modern automation mods like TE and Minefactory but made their recipes equally bafflingly complex, requirements puzzlingly arcane, and processing times inordinately lengthy i'd be a lot happier, but these lovely IC2 interfaces and soundeffects are starting to vex

Furia posted:Any mods that make the nether less inhospitable (like have their own ores for crafting and stuff)? I was thinking about playing a game where the entire map is the nether. doesn't Natura do this? and i think tinker's construct has a nether version of its smelter you can make it's a delightful lovely brown

ok, so: new horizons bullshit again where can i find zinc? i am in the middle of the EV age - am i expected to set up ore washing plants with no guidance from the quest book, or is the intended aim for me to pootle around at the bottom of the nether looking for sulfur veins?

McFrugal posted:You can get zinc from tetrahedrite or yeah, sulfur veins. Tetrahedrite spawns at the top of the nether, sulfur spawns at the bottom. Personally I would recommend searching for a sulfur vein because you're going to NEED that sulfur later on. You'll have to make several stacks of gunpowder at least to produce the ITNT required to compress plates to make a spaceship to get to the moon. the first electric tier, immediately after steam i thought EV stood for "early voltage". to clarify, i did not mean Extreme Voltage or whatever high-level fresh hell awaits me once i'm finished rendering down an entire continent of garnet sand into aluminium plates or whatever

i know it may not be exactly what you're looking for, but have you considered A Song of New Horizons, by Greg R. R. Martin? (try Regrowth on FtB, it's not technically a skyblock as it in fact has lots and lots of blocks - but they're all fuckin' useless, so it has similar progression)

congratulations on discovering a modpack more awful than new horizons (it's day 190 and i've just got aluminium screws so that i can start thaumcraft and tinker's construct weapon forges)

I can't start thaumcraft yet though. I need an impregnated stick, which involves at least two more machines. I also needed a diamond lens, which is obtained by lathing a diamond plate, which involves sticking 750k eu and a diamond block (which needs a machine to craft) through a cutting machine If I want a wrench to move my cables around I need stainless steel from an electric blast furnace

new horizons is worse gregtech apparently baby's first space race will come out at some point and that's supposed to be full of HQM quest goals encouraging you to investigate the mods that make up the pack, so that'll be good. otherwise, blightfall is basically the best questin' mod out there

i really enjoyed everything about the 40k modpack up until night fell, Doom monsters spawned everywhere, and i started getting beat on by everything to no discernible effect until suddenly my armour broke and i was one-shot then i regenned at my spawn point and was one-shot again and, well again i will try the pack again later. perhaps there is some way to dig a hidey-hole at night without any tools??

the "sucks really bad" was in relation to the hobbyist steam engine, which sucks really bad compared to TE machines

it just sucks really bad 40k pack is fun but will take some getting used to, as i am coming straight off of new horizons and am pleasantly surprised i don't need to compress dense plates to turn into boltshell casings

mensrea posted:That's gotten everyone who tested it, usually the spot of redstone/dust next to it was the giveaway. I'll change it to something more obvious for the future. the new update is good, fighting at night is now a "poo poo, if this keeps up i'm going to be overwhelmed eventually" experience rather than a "it's dark, i'm dead" one also i appreciated being called a scrunt by the admech dude

so the 40k blood and iron pack is actually pretty drat fun past the initial sprint-for-the-bunker phase. i absolutely love the fact that exploring and looting is actually worth your time, and that the enemies drop stuff you actually want i have no idea where to find hemp, though. do i need to buy it? i am also unsure as to whether i'm missing something obvious re: lighting up areas or whether i do indeed need to bootstrap my industrial base simply to make torches/lamps

possibly a daft question but does exportItem do what you're hoping it does and literally moves items out of inventories, or is there some other method you should be using? it could just be something stupid like "exportItem gives you the data, to actually move stuff you need to use moveItem"

blood and iron is p fun, i've enjoyed running round looting weapons and shooting doom demons i have however lost the urge to industrialise in it. i've been burnt out by gregtech new horizons and spoiled by minefactory/thermal expansion

Vib Rib posted:People said that about 1.8 too. That modders would skip 1.8 and leapfrog to 1.9. Then it was that they'd skip 1.9 and only update straight to 1.10. Now it feels like most of them have just died out. It's like 1.8 was an extinction event, with so many people dropping support or losing interest in maintaining their mods, and now we slowly, gradually, have all new mods cropping up to replace them. It's taking time to build momentum but at this point I think it's almost a matter of letting go of all the old mods and ushering in the new wave. yeah, didn't that exact thing happen with 1.2.5? cf. the death of Redpower, obsolescence of Industrialcraft

D34THROW posted:Neither have I "having a lot of stuff" isn't the problem. lots of those dusts, for example, can be electrolysed into different metals to provide easy sources of rare materials the problem, the one that isn't initially conveyed by the big list of items, is that everything's a massive enormous loving grind
