They happen randomly and don't seem tied to any specific dimensions or actions, though closing out and suffering the initial load times again does allievate it for a time. (It was worst when I ran the game for a week and just exited to the main menu and put my computer to sleep) If you're technically inclined, I'd recommend switching to a java9+ version of the pack with Prism Launcher. You'll need to get and install a modern Java version (I like Adoptium's JREs), but doing so will allow you to allocate more than 8gb RAM without it being counterproductive. Better Java garbage collection too, which is the usual culprit for microstutters. http://downloads.gtnewhorizons.com/Multi_mc_downloads/ The curseforge version is stuck with Java8.

Forever Stranded and FS: Lost Souls are definitely more on the challenge side of modpacks but they are very unique and have far more depth than you would expect at first glance. Not for those looking for long-term base builders, though. For a challenge-based base builder I'm currently quite fond of The Winter Rescue which is frostpunk-inspired-but-minecraft.

Is it necessary to build strictly inside chunk borders these days? I'm seeing the practice pop up in older let plays but modern googling only gives me posts talking about it from 10 years ago so I dunno. Is it just safer for multiblocks?

Gone into nitty-gritty detail of /opis and all I can gather is that the ping goes up to 2000ms the second I exit the Personal Dimension, with no ticking entities in particular that are the cause. I'm debating just razing my base to the ground and moving it 2000 blocks away or something because this is ridiculous.

Rynoto posted:For a challenge-based base builder I'm currently quite fond of The Winter Rescue which is frostpunk-inspired-but-minecraft. Tried this out a bit and am enjoying it so far, though not without some annoyances. The temperature and weather stuff seems fairly neat, though I have been getting fairly lucky so far it seems. Been mostly regular or kinda warm weather so I barely had to pay attention to my temperature bar, though early on I did have one serious blizzard which was a bit of an oh poo poo moment, ending with me basically boxing myself in in a 2x2 space with a campfire next to me to survive. Not sure if there is a way to make a campfire heat a space more efficently, the ingame thing mentions that making a fireplace supposedly heats better but then doesn't give any hints on what that entails. The start has been fairly slow, played for a few hours and only now am getting close to building the actual Frostpunk-esque generator. Till there it has been fairly TFC-lite, taking some of the mechanics like charcoal pits and kilns which are pretty neat, though also slow down progress a bit. Also it can be kinda easy to want to try and make mortar for bricks for aesthetic reasons but needing to kiln the flux to make limewater makes that both kinda time consuming and costly I realised. Also they bring both the good and the bad (but not all bad) of TFC mining over. You got huge ore deposits so finding one will settle you for a bit and there isn't even any annoying need of measuring units to make full bars (One piece of ore is one bar worth) and there are no cave-ins or anything. The downside is that they also got all the different stone variations and such and ores being tied to those. And maybe that is just a me thing but one of the worst feelings is needing to find a specific type of ore and having to just trek an unknown amount across the overworld to find a spot where it could spawn. Arguably this is where this modpack is even a bit worse than TFC, because you got no surface ore bits to hint at what might be below and while the quest journal does list in what rock those ores spawn, you don't get to see that info until you find the ore itself which I feel kinda invalidates the value of having it (You mostly get a hint of "In some igneous" and such, which might make it even worse if you did find a igneous rock type and now get to search caves without knowing if the ore is even spawning in that particular type). Also, no copper tools but bronze ones as well as making progress be gated, which was real annoying in my current run where I had a lot of copper if I wanted, but had to search quite a while to find tin and so was stuck with the lovely starter flint tools. I am probably being a bit too harsh on it, but one of the loading tips is "Less grinding than TFC" so they kinda invited comparisons themselves  Edit: Don't get me wrong, I am enjoying my time with the modpack, just that particular mechanic irks me. Sorta wish there was like a "geoscanner" thing or something you could get that would point you in the general direction of where you might find the ore, sorta like a nature's compass for stone types Greader fucked around with this message at 16:59 on Feb 25, 2024 |

I barely survived my first blizzard in TWR and I figured out a few mechanics relating to the campfire. First off, don't build it in a hole. You have to be on the same y-level to get much warmth from it. Second off, it doesn't like wide open spaces, even if the space is enclosed. Third, try not to have any stone near you, I placed a couple of blocks to try to block myself off and the cold just got worse. Loam is the best block to make your shelter out of at the start. Those last two points mean the crashed ship makes a terrible shelter, though staying in it when the weather is warm works well since being near natural light warms you up and there's lots of partial blocks in the crashed ship that let light in. Lastly, and most importantly, crouching near the fire warms you up a LOT more.

GTNH newbie report: thanks to previous tips I realized that one of the quests leading up to the nether awarded enough obsidian to both make a minimum portal frame and grind up into enough alumite for a tool forge, so I secured a bronze/steel hammer, then strip mined a few veins to build a second BBF. The steel requirements for LV are up there I tell ya. The demands for steel are so high and thy smelting time so long that I don't see moving to steel tool heads for quite some time, bronze will do. I am now up to a small spread of LV machines: basic Wiremill, Bending Machine, Assember, and Fluid Extractor, all powered by the single steam turbine you craft to get into the LV quests. I made a small batch of circuits of which I have 6 left so I'm thinking next will be a Distiller so I can do slimeball->extract to glue->distill to refined glue which will open some basic assembler recipes for easier LV circuit components, based on some NEI diving. Not totally sure where to go after that, maybe the mixer or the simple ore washer because I am so over tossing poo poo into a cauldron. Maybe the twilight forest? More nether forays? That place is dangerous. I'm up to three HP solar boilers and one low pressure feeding an iron RC tank of steam, so far my power needs are met for the time being. Through more turbines are on the horizon soon I am sure. I was eyeing the basic miner but I bet the steel investment for mining pipe is a roadblock at the moment, and I don't have a good method of powering it remotely as yet. I did stumble upon a mica deposit so I know that eventual quests is covered. Oh and I saved up like 10 LV lootbags to gacha all at once and hoo boy was it a disappointing pile of garbage outside of a golden lasso.

twilight forest to find silver and nickel would be a good start. then you could make some more solar boilers I hope you know you can drop whole stacks in the cauldron at once. I didn't realize that for way too long the first time I played the pack i've always been a big proponent of getting an lv centrifuge asap. you can shove in rubber wood (use circuit 2!) and you'll get out sticky resin, plant balls, wood dust, carbon, and enough methane to burn to self-sustain the centrifuge, plus a little extra, if you pipe it into a gas generator. no more loving around with treetaps, and definitely easier than farming those slimeballs. it's not super obvious, but there's one way to get obsidian dust that's way more efficient than the other ways and is easy to overlook- use the alloy smelter and an ingot mold. you get 9 ingots which you can macerate, whereas the fluid extractor gets you two, and directly macerating gets you only one. they should probably clean up those recipes, honestly.

Fortunately I do know about throwing stacks into the cauldron, I just hate the drudgery of random stacks not throwing as far and falling short, forgetting to lock my mining backpack so I have to fish them out to throw again, etc. Good tip about the centrifuge! I've been mass logging rubber trees for the resin and steam extracting the wood for raw rubber for my rubber needs, but that doesn't result in much resin. I did luck into some slime saplings so I just started farming those, hopefully easing my resin crunch. One of these days I'll brave the deep caves and actually find a lava pool so I have any obsidian to my name but so far all I've had is from that quest reward lol. Luckily I found a couple obsidian bindings in a village tinkerer hut so my tools don't suck but yeah.

Arrath posted:GTNH newbie report: -snip- I prefer slime saplings for rubber. They grow way faster than rubber nodes on rubber trees regenerate, and the sapling drops (assuming you space out the trees) will let you rapidly grow huge quantities of slime. Plus, no IC2 crop breeding required. The only trick is finding them -- they only spawn on those floating slime islands in the sky. Look for ovals of pastel color in Journeymap, then go there and nerdpole up. They can be extracted, but centrifuge is better yield plus you get glue. (It should centrifuge directly to refined glue.) You need glue for your first Electric Blast Furnace as well. A mixer is a good next step. Mixers let you make concrete at half cost, and when paired with the assembler you can make BBF bricks for cheap. You also need a mixer for one of the steps for making the coils for an electric blast furnace, so you'll have to make one eventually. After I get the mixer done, I usually double my initial two BBFs to four, which tends to be a good number to end up with in my experience. Don't forget to wallshare the BBFs to reduce the cost even more. Automate your coke ovens if you haven't already, as well. The Twilight Forest is also a good idea for silver for high pressure solar boilers. A simple ore washer is also an excellent idea, though they'll be limited by your item I/O speed at first so hand-washing will probably be faster if you develop the muscle memory for it. If you do make one, I'd recommend setting up dedicated railcraft water gathering tanks for it because it can suck down water fast. Fortunately, nowadays there are LV simple washers, so this is actually possible at your stage. (I put in the pull request to add those personally!) The basic miner is pretty garbage. It's slow, has a terrible service area, and uses lots of valuable steel (in LV.) The only reason you should generally make one is if you are getting your poo poo ruined in the Nether, because it will mine Nether ore veins at essentially zero risk. I don't use autominers until HV. Not only is the HV autominer finally able to service an entire vein at once, but compressed chests unlock in HV -- 243 slots and retains inventory contents when picked up. What I like to do in late LV is start on oil power. The most conservatively designed light fuel refinery will power two EBFs, with some fuel left over for running miscellaneous machines. It is ludicrously good, and oil spouts last a very long time. (Plus multiblock pumps unlock in MV.) However, oil power is expensive on steel. A single combustion generator uses the better part of a stack of steel ingots, and you need four for your first EBF. Up to you if you want to grind that out.

Oh I have a potential answer for this one! This does rely on you being a little lucky, but it can save you time and give you some fun stuff. Try exploring and finding one of the Lootgame game dungeons with either Minesweeper or Simon Says minigames. They're the ones that spawn underground with dark green blocks making up their walls. These games can give you all kinds of prizes if you're skilled at them, including stacks of mining pipes. All my LV pipe needs were covered by these minigame prizes, plus I got all sorts of other bonuses out of them. Plus, and I believe this is a tip Gwyneth Palpate game me, if you take one of the dungeon wall blocks and put it in your Ore Finder, it'll tell you whenever another minigame dungeon is hidden directly below your position! They're actually way more common than you realize, so you can get a lot of goodies for LV, MV and HV by playing them, even at the start of the game. Arrath posted:Not totally sure where to go after that, maybe the mixer or the simple ore washer because I am so over tossing poo poo into a cauldron. Maybe the twilight forest? More nether forays? That place is dangerous. Before you make the ore washer, I just wanted to make sure you know that you can throw a whole stack of stuff to be washed and it'll wash all of it at once, instead of having to wash items one at a time. I know at least a few people didn't realize that until they were told it explicitly. Knowing that fact made washing ores bearable until I was eventually able to make the multiblock washer in HV.

I have to say I really like the cave generation in The Winter Rescue. I dunno if it's intentional, but the shape of the cave system I'm following right now changed as I got deeper. It started out with the usual tunnels, then slopes, then pits, and now I'm in a sort of shallow ravine with a different type of stone on the bottom. Like a lava tube almost? edit: the passage opened up, the pits I saw earlier are part of a sort of underground chasm, but it's not the same shape as a vanilla chasm.

GTNH: Talk to me about cable loss: Let's say I have a LV bus bar of 4 steam turbines, spaced 1 block apart, all facing and feeding a 7-long 4x copper cable with -2eu/m. If, for example, I have a machine tied onto that cable across from a turbine such that the energy path is one block, does it get hit with 1 tile of loss? All 7? Is the energy generation and delivery simulation so detailed that a machine making a demand does pathdinding over the cable and finds the closest turbine with free capacity? Direct feeding every machine with a dedicated turbine is beyond my resources at the moment so I'm thinking of a way to power a decent spread of machines that is a balance between material investment and energy loss.

Arrath posted:GTNH: Talk to me about cable loss: Before I explain: use tin cable for LV, it's 1 EU/t per block loss. Copper cable is MV, which will work for LV but there's a better line loss option. The way power works is that a generator will emit a full power packet (1A for steam turbines) of its voltage at any machine whose buffer can receive that much power. Every block of cable that packet has to travel reduces the amount of power in that packet by its line loss rating. The packet will take the shortest path from the generator to the machine. However, if there are multiple generators, it's not guaranteed that any particular generator will be responsible for any particular machine. Therefore, it might be such that a machine gets serviced by the worst possible choice, if the internal list ordering for which generator acts when works out poorly for you. Trying to predict this is a fools' errand; always assume the worst. Bear in mind, however, that machines can actually receive +1A over what they use. If a machine is getting screwed by line loss; e.g. it needs 30 EU/t but line loss is degrading the power it receives down to 28 EU/t, it can receive an additional amp from a second generator when it has room in its buffer, allowing it to continue to work. This second amp only arrives when the machine has room for two whole amps in its buffer, so the second amp only comes once every few ticks. Generators never output anything but full amps.
