And before anybody asks, the power cube is Big Reactors Blutonium and Packed Ice used with Immersive Engineering Thermoelectric Generators. This bank of 24 generates 1440 RF/t at all times.
What is the best mob and why is it this fucker?
3rd for Blightfall Serb now has 10 active players and is looking for more
>>128263787
why would you use more blutonium than packed ice
>>128264347
How does that interaction work? I didn't think anything besides lava would power those.
>>128264506
What is Blightfall?
Would you guys mind someone who just likes to poke around?Maybe even mine just for you?
>>128265014
It's afuntechnic modpack where you are tasked to remove taint from a planet. That's fine, join team Alpha when prompted!
Post yer screencaps.
>>128264860
plutonium from IC2 works too
RTFM, stupid.
So. any mods in particular work with Essentialcraft 3?
>>128264860
The nuclear fuel blocks and ice blocks are the special cases, with hard coded temperature values. Generally, the thermal generator works with fluids. Because each fluid has a defined temperature, any two fluids will work.
Pyrotheum is the hottest fluid I know about, but at 4000 C it's not any hotter than plutonium/blutonium.
>>128264760
I'm swimming in resources and packed ice is a fucker to make (Merely becausefuck botania, there's no ice spikes biomes, and Cryotheum isn't easy to come by) so that was the first one. The second one has them reversed, I believe.
>>128264860
Hot block and Cold block on opposite sides. You get the most from either Blutonium/Packed Ice (30RF/t per pair) or Cryotheum/Pyrotheum (31RF/t per pair). 6 sides, 4 generators, 2 pairs. 6x4x2x30=1440 RF/t, at a constant rate. Bear in mind that three Tier-4 Solar Panels kick out 1536 RF/t during sunlight hours, so take this as it is.
Would you play a mod that adds this?

Is there porn of it?

probably.
>>128267453
It would probably attack you if you look at it,or teleport away if you try to put your dick in it.
>>128267453
There is not. There are similar looking creatures that have porn made of them, but I don't care enough to find them.

Is thaumcraft worth it on top of tech mods, or is it shit?
>>128268738
It's fun
>>128268738
There's some things that you can do with Thaum. Especially if you have the AE2 addon that makes vis collection incredibly easy and infusion altars almost painless. And I say almost painless in the sense that you need to have a 30x30x30 cube of stabalizers to do half the recipes without your things breaking off randomly and causing flux spills.
http://minecraft.curseforge.com/projects/ftb-utilities
These actually look like really useful utilities. A shame it has the "FTB" brand on it.
>>128265524
>>128269262
I swear, 95% of that functionality already exists in some form.
>>128269729
Thats because its a bunch of smaller utility mods packaged in the same .jar. Same code for many of them.

You can thank Forge for completely fucking everything up, by the way.

Where are my fucking nukes. Once I get these Attractors, this thing's going to fucking orbit.
Also, Fucking Particles.
>>128271783
nvm, I figured it out. One of my mods did not like it when I installed buildcraft one .jar at a time, instead of just the big jar. I guess if I don't like the Buildcraft robots I will just have to put up with it.
>>128272897
IIRC, the latest version of buildcraft has them as individual parts.
Search them individually on curse.
>>128273013
Thats what I did initially, installing a slightly older version of Buildcraft fixed the problem. I don't know why that would give me the error I ended up with though.
SOON.
>>128274056
that wall needs some detail, man. make it less of a rectangle and put something cool on top (a line of stairs would work, like crenelations). Maybe even make another small rampart somewhere along the middle of the flatter wall there.
>>128275862
Wasn't originally supposed to be a wall, was the outline of the planned house, then I realized just how much room I had in the building so I cut its size by about half, which you can see by how the wall is flush with the main building.

Hey guys I am looking at trying out Chromaticraft and was wondering what mods work well with it. I was thinking of using tinkers construct and maybe open blocks for the glider. Any other ideas?
>>128282443
Journeymap
RFTools/Mystcraft/WarpBook (Any kind of teleport mod that can get you back to base quickly.)
>>128282142
And ExtraTiC doesn't come standard with the casting recipes for their fluids, even though RFTools can generate them.
Do any of you know how to disable Tinkers Constructs bs where it makes you mine 10 stacks of cobble to be able to mine iron? As in, how would I fix the stone picks and make them capable of mining ores.
>>128281658
why not fix some crashes while you're at it?
http://pastebin.com/RUW5xfJC
Should I build a new base and just pick up shop?
Maybe one more planned out with AE2 wiring and possibly some better Big Reactors support?
>>128285328
Oh wow, I can't believe I missed that glaring error.
>>128285306
That sounds like Iguana's tweaks to me. Rip that mod out and enjoy TiC how it should be.
>Boni takes over TCon in 1.8.9

They can be; Just be careful you don't accidentally roll a hungry node on them, and make sure they're far enough apart so they don't bully each other.
>>128287712
lucky you.
I love that part of the game
hunting for the basic ore veins, carrying around dozens of wrought iron pickaxe heads ready for assembly, hollowing out small and comfy camps in the mountains. slowly working my way up the beginning of the tech tree..
>>128289362
meh. After years, i feel i need to see something cool made from me. Maybe, making a city in creative somewere in the world and going to my "survival place" when i feel i want to play in survival.
>>128289348
Shit.
Other one isn't bad. Except I've got a dozen nodes close to my base already, so it just saves a few seconds of walking time. Too bad it didn't spawn ignis, the only ignis nodes I have are in the nether.
>>128289732
lmao
>>128289732
>Fading node
If you have a stabalizer, get it in there quick. You might actually change it into a Pale node.

>>128307321
What did Boni change in particular?
>>128307605
Going by what I saw in Direwolf's videos, the tool station is completely different, but it's more of a cosmetic change than a functional one. Every material has its own effect now (iron magnetizes dropped items when mining, cobble is cheaper to repair and so on) and weapons seem to have ridiculous amounts of damage, but I think there were other changes too. Most feel like improvements but I'm still not sure of what to think.
It's altar-o'clock. Post altars.

Try checking out Mumbo Jumbo. He usually does hidden entrance videos in Vanilla.
Though we like to play modded, and therefore why not use the SecretRooms mod? One-way glass, Camoflauged doors, buttons, levers, and pressure plates...

>>128331320
>>128331237
>>128331108
the hardest part of all is make em compatct.
i just saw the mambo jumbo vids, and they are all very very compact in design, i never had the patience and the time to work every single timer and make it smaller or more simple.
back then i just wanted to work.
at first i thought it was because cheating that having a secret room or something similar was useless, but now i know its mostly because of mods, dont feel bad though, at least they are arround.
>>128331320
a door whose workings are bigger than the rest of your base is just not worth doing, even "because I can'.
>>128331514
It's not cheating having a secret room. Honestly I used to have my base on DW20 1.6 hidden in the side of a mountain...using AM2 Etheral blocks.
>>128333371
i said it wrong.
i thought the idea of having secret rooms was useless because of cheats that let you see through blocks, like that old sand trick i used back then to find diamonds in caves deep underground, i think it dosent work anymore.
I used to play Agrarian Skies before on the FTB last year and had fond memories of it. I only just realized there's a beta for Agrarian Skies 2, but there seems to be no progress on it for the last couple of months plus it needs me to make a Curse account or something...
Recommend a modpack to me? Preferably something that doesn't need me to change configs or java versions or whatever.
>>128333783
It does; You have to use Redstone powerblocks or TNT with Fence Posts.
Though Draconic Evolution has a tool where you can see through blocks like this trick, though only through itself.
>>128333938
>mix TNT with fence post
>suddently xray vision
>>128334240
Any Solid Non-Opaque block works; Pistons and Glowstone included. TNT is the easiest to craft.
You find yourself a corner, put down two fence posts on top of each other to box yourself in. Jump and place the block on the side of the fence post facing you. If you did it right, you should be able to look through blocks, though not for forever. If you did it wrong, or did it for too long or moved about, you'll see the inside of the block.
Mojang tried to fix this bug, and they did with the old machines (I think) but this method works most of the time and is easy enough to reset and retry.
>>128334858
what i wanted was a comfy castle on a mountain, a prision below the castle, and mines down to the bedrock, a nice field to plant shit and a lake nearby with a boat to go to places.
then i looked and got hooked with redstone and pistons, and sticky pistons just came out.
only managed to finnish the prisions when i wanted to test it, even found a slime spawn place to farm some slmeballs, but when i came up, everything was under 5 blocks of snow (dont know if this is a thing today) , after trying to remove half of the snow i abandoned everything and start making shit in creative (the map you see in those vids)
i still want to do it, with a hammer temple and everything like pic related.
>>128324685
Modding is supposed to have gotten so much better, but you never used to see some of these crazy fuckups a few years ago.
To the anon who posted these last thread - may I ask which mods you used?
Since the battleship is far too large to sail, and the existing ironclad is ungainy on the open sea, I've gotten to work designing smaller ships to act in the mobile role: like this light armored cruiser, pictured here sailing through a test map.
Is the only way to get controller types for RFtools dimlets by breaking down dimlets of that type? I have a steady supply of Material Gold Block dimlets from a villager, and a few tier 2 control controller circuits, but I really need a desert biome dimlet and a noon dimlet, yet I don't have a time type or biome type. Am I fucked?
>>128348660
I don't think you are. If you need dimlets, make a random flat dimension and run around to the little generated huts. You should be swimming in random dimlets.
>>128337792
That's because a few years ago there was a dozen modders whose mods anyone used, and the barrier to entry with no documentation whatsoever was so high that it generally ensured a minimum quality.
Would Botania be worth adding to a pack with Thaumcraft with horizons/tinker addons? Or should I go with Witchery instead?
>>128351806
If you have Thaumcraft and its addons you already have pretty much every possible feature Shitania recycled and could possibly offer you.
Witchery in the meanwhile actually has unique features you won't find in any other mod.
This shouldn't even be a question.
>>128352080
You know what else shouldn't be a question? Whether or not its wrong to murder furfags that fuck in fursuits in public, but unfortunatly its still required to be a question.
>>128351806
botania adds a lot of altar stabilizing things, but aside from that, it doesn't tie into thaumcraft very much without stuff like forbidden magic (wands that run of mana and flowers that give you research aspects)
witchery doesn't really tie in much with thaumcraft either, but honestly, both are enjoyable mods, dispite what people here will tell you about botania. Botania is more a weird-item-utility bundle + automationist's mod though.
>>128352312
>weird-item-utility
Outside of a very very very select few things in Botania, it's more or less completely worthless as a mod.
Though Thaumic Tinkerer does open the door to a lot of mana production using a Kek reactor.

Too bad Thaumic Tinkerer is just as shit if not worse. Doesn't help Vazkii also had a hand in developing it and then just gave it away to some furry who - as you would expect from a furry - anally raped what semblance of decency was left. The server-destroying fires are just a drop in the bucket.
>>128329297
What mod is this from, thaum bases?
>>128353413
True, though it does have two of the better things in all of Thaumcraft in it (Dislocation focus and Corporeal Attractor) but that's not saying much.
>>128353864
No, it really isn't. Especially when Dislocation Foci is easily replaced by a JABBA dolly or that other tool mod I forget the name of (especially since moving tile entities, most notably chests, is a must-have feature in any modpack these days), and the attractor is just a fancy conveyor belts/fan.
>>128353728
Yes, it's thaumic bases. it basically transfers vis capacity from one node to another at a pretty bad but very quick rate (if you don't want to wait to have a big node, you can just shred through a bunch of nodes). It generates a shitload of flux, and can cause other problems, but what's magic without a little mess?
>>128329297
the hell are those
>>128354261
>JABBA Dolly
Can I grab spawners with JABBA dollies? If so, that would just save the hassle of the dislocation foci and the endless nether stars and enderium for PortaSpawners.
And Corporeal Attractors work much faster than conveyors, and multi-directional unlike fans. Unless mobs CAN spawn on conveyor belts naturally (read: not spawners) then I still need the Attractors.
>>128354673
>Can I grab spawners with JABBA dollies?
Yes. That's the whole point of the dolly upgrade that requires diamonds.
>>128354527
They are node linkers. As I said in the post above you, it violently rips vis from one node and forces it into another, causing a shitload of flux. It's not effiecient either, but it's fast. if you have a lot of nodes sitting around that you don't mind sacrificing, it's a good way to go, in my book.
>>128354731
Well fuck me sideways with a razor blade. I thought the diamond dolly was just to reduce the speed debuff. Now I just need to figure out what I'm doing in regards to spawners, if anything.
>>128354793
wait
you mean it gives the node its giving to a permanent vis increase
>>128354261
The dislocation focus wins out in edge cases. The dolly can move certain things, the dislocation focus can move just about any block, so it still has it's uses
>>128354913
it's basically node bullying on crack, so yes, it gives the receiving node a permanant increase. However, it seems like, say, you have an aqua node with 90 points, you might get get 30-40 points out of it on the receiving node before the aqua node is too damaged to give more
Shit.
Okay, I'm torn between playing my magical mods or my tech mods.
Should I go for magic or tech? All this talk of magic is making me want to get back into it, but at the same time I want to get into tech too.
Without mixing the two.
>>128354673
For an alternative to attractors, you can use the Siren's lure from Automagy. It doesn't look as amazing as GET THE FUCK IN HERE magnets, but it's still pretty effective.
>>128355395
magic mods are objectively superior
>>128354946
Most edge cases I've experienced ended up crash the server, one even leaving a corrupted chunk behind.
JABBA's falling out of style anyway, what with Storage Drawers around. The other mod (Inventory Tools, I think it's called?) is what you should be comparing stuff to.
>>128355395
Stop being a lil' faggot and go full magitech.
>>128355619
Yeah, I think IT's dolly can pick up any block with an inventory too.
>>128355568
I think I just might have had more fun with magic mods.
>>128355395
Tech mods, unless your wiring looks like this.
>>128355554
Hm. I might consider it. Though it does kind of stink that there is no alternative to the Attractors in tech mods, of which EnderIO's Attractor Obelisk just makes them focus on the obelisk instead of actively moving towards it.
>>128355847
We need a Magitek mod, something that can actively go between RF and Mana/Vis/LE for different functions and tools. Like, a pickaxe that requires one of the magic forms...If you power it with Mana, it's Silk Touch (Because nature wants to maintain what it is). Powering with LE gives Fortune (Because you want to take everything it can give). Powering with Vis gives increased speed and allows itself to be powered by something else, just at a little weaker on one of the sides (less fortune with LE, less speed with Mana).
Could work, and really piss off all the magic mod makers.
>>128355395
Does it even matter? Magic is just tech with more sparkles and evil monsters added anyway.
>>128355395
I personally have more fun playing magic modpacks than tech modpacks.
All the tech mods feel very same-y. There's a pulverizer, there's a sawmill, there's an electric furnace, there's something that makes power out of coal, there's pipes for items, liquid and energy... All the mods feel like the same collection of machines with different names and textures. Universally using RF isn't helping that "same-y-ness" either, despite its advantages.
Meanwhile you can bunch up Thaumcraft, Witchery and Blood Magic in the same modpack and even though they might have some features in common they're guaranteed to work completely differently. If you're bored of one, you can progress in another.
>>128356884
>If you're bored of one, you can get stuck and bored in another
FTFY. Although tech mods are also shit. Combat and mob-buffing mods are better.
>>128357031
Like Tinker's Construct, one of the most balanced mods out there right now?

T-this is normal right?
>>128357206
TiCon is a tech mod. I'm talking Battlegear and Zombie Awareness and Balkon's andFlans Modand stuff like that.
Anyone need/want a simple recolor for GoG girls? Full custom textures are out of my league for the time being, but recolors are easy enough, though you might onyl see the extra textures if you use custom npcs, since i'm not sure if the GoG spawning algortihms randomly choose maps based on wahts in the files or if its only for what the dev has added himself.
Pic related, made a black haired kobold.
>>128356302
That mod vaguely exists, called technomancy. it's not very polished and doesn't do what you described, it mainly allows for using magic to make rf and rf to make magic in various ways.
>>128356353
Magic mods in general are more about neat items, progression, eventually having a boss to fight, and a unique power source per mod
Tech mods tend to be about processing items and generally using a unified power source (rf these days). There's a lot more interchangeability in tech mods.
I personally don't find "aquire a shitload of resources" as a goal fun, it's a means to an end. Techmods can be good if you are the sort who likes automation for the sake of it or the fun of puzzling out how to make something work, I feel magic mods tend to fit better with the typical video game experience, giving your goals, bosses, powerups, shit like that.
Well, reinstalling my magic mods then.

Pic's out of date, I'm running witchery alongside botania. I hate thaumcraft, I don't have the patience to deal with taint or it's boring research.
Mekanism has a few features I like, most of it's stuff is configged off, that's also why you don't see it's generators module, TE and BR are my main powergen.
Anyways, TCon is my main weapon mod, most of the other mods have had their weapons configged off.

Pairs well with Archimede's Ships+. you get a better view of the area around the ship in 3rd person.

>>128360591

if you dont want to use custom npc's to get the textures, you'll have ot add the files to the assest of the mod itself, otherwise just linking to the texture with custom npcs works.
>If it's the former, does it support random mobs?
I have no idea, GoG naturally has random texture picking, but I have no idea if its a natural thing it does or if the author coded it to look fro specific textures only, i'll test it out real quick.
>>128360393

>>128360393
>TCon is my main weapon mod, most of the other mods have had their weapons configged off.
What's your point? It's not like you'd even consider touching any kind of tool when TiCon provides a much harder-hitting, ever-lasting, infinitely flexible alternative even if their weapons were present.
Which is exactly why it gets shat on.
>>128358158
>neat items, progression
Are you telling me that tech mods don't have those?
>boss fight
I agree that doesn't really fit. Factorization has a really neat one though.
>unique power source
Go back a few years, all the machine mods had their own power system. I blame FTB for making
piss-easy RF the norm. Even now, there are quite a few mods like IC2/Greg, Flaxbeard, Electrical Age,
and Rotarycraft, which have their own interesting power systems.
I think you're biased towards the thousands of IC clones that do little more than grinder -> furnace
processing. Plus, "magic" mods do that as well, whether or not it's disguised as a ritual or some dark
arcane shit. There are a lot of tech mods that do much more than that; Railcraft, Forestry and
Matter Overdrive to name a few. The fact that most mods or modpacks focus on "hurr durr get all da
ores" thing doesn't mean there aren't fun tech mods.
>magic mods tend to fit better with the typical video game experience
Clearly you've never played games like Simcity, Dwarf Fortress, Factorio and such.
Well, I tried, I think i'll have to do some more hefty work to get Miia to look right.
>>128360591
>If it's the former, does it support random mobs? If so, sign me up.
No idea, but GoG doesnt Handel extra textures automatically, so you might have to try random mobs.
>>128360862
>>128360296
>Want to fork and add butt loads of content to gog
>Silentine will never go opensauce
Tried Cerea, and I see exactly what needs improvment, the ears need to have a splash of yellow where they meet the face because it clashes with the current setup, saddle color should be changed to a better scheme that matches her, armor should be removed and replaced with a blouse, and I need to figure out how to add a horse skirt.
>>128362359
>I think you're biased towards the thousands of IC clones that do little more than grinder -> furnace
Probably the case, though some of the other techmods you've listed kinda fit the same too, forestry's farming and bee's just seems like material hoarding, which I kind of put under processing, since it's about having or furthering a source of material, and railcraft, which i've tried to use, mainly to discover that's the whole point. railcraft is about making yourself use railcraft for the sake of using railcraft. I am wholly unfamiliar with matter overdrive, but it seems neat
I do like tech themes, I'll take a rusted dingy scrapheap tower over mystical castle any day it's just most of the popular tech mods don't focus on fun sci-fi themed shit like matter overdrive does, and when they do, it's not to the levels of polish you'd see in magic mods.
And on your latter point, I did say TYPICAL, I don't know if you'd list any of those games you mentioned as typical games.
>>128363723
>I'll take a rusted dingy scrapheap tower over mystical castle any day
Meanwhile I'll just build a 9x9 in the side of a mountain and call it home...
Granted, this playthrough I'm trying to live on the surface, but finding myself with less space and no real ability to "Just hollow out what I need" without some amount of planning...
I either need to move shop or start fresh. I'm getting 20fps in the area with a decent computer, though I suspect that's more because of my endeavors in Myst and RFTools than anything.
>>128364247
I'm still amazed at how common a problem fps lose is in modded mc. Some people just fucking deal with it too. I try to take every precaution I can to not lose fps, try not to use too many particle emitting blocks or blocks with special renders, but no matter what, just being in an area = slow and eventual fps loose. quality game.
>>128364885
I honestly think it's a ram issue; I set MC to only use 3.5 gigs but it's clearly taking upwards of 8.
>>128366378
It's a Mojang issue, with the constant rewrites that do nothing but fuck shit up badly
"But hey! at least it's not Notchcode!" -Dinnerbong
>blightfall is kill
Why must you do this to me
>>128367132
It's actually just a shitton of RFTools and Mystcraft dims not unloading properly.
Which makes me think I should just restart anew with a new pack.
>>128367132
as yes, dinnerbong's desperately pushed "notch's code was bad" meme. it's a shame the 12yr olds actually fell for it, even as the game's performance got worse and worse the more notchcode they removed.
>>128367448

Never played, considering it. Your pastebin is shit and someone needs to make it better. Here are my questions:
1) Anyone play on Oculus Rift? How is it, really? Recently got my GTX 980 Ti, system is now rift-capable, I'm on the fence about preordering a Rift. I've seen the YouTube videos of people freaking out. Reaction videos are a thing. Channels make money off them. What's the actual, un-memed experience like.
2) Can pirated Minecraft be made to work with legit servers? Why don't you guys have download links or instructions on how this is done? Don't really feel like buying it, even for peace of mind
3) Do you absolutely need to play with people? Can you have a fun time by yourself?
>>128369467
...could someone theoretically make a "mod" for Minecraft that redid everything in ways that enhanced performance? Fastcraft is a start, but something on a larger scale would be so nice.
>>128372748
>3) Do you absolutely need to play with people? Can you have a fun time by yourself?
I've never played on a server and I've had a lot of fun for several years with this game
>>128372748
>1
Not worth the 700$ preorder, when it's cheaper, maybe.
>2
No, you can only join "cracked" servers with a pirated account
>3
Fun is subjective, so yes.
>>128372748
Can't answer for the Rift question, but I can answer the other two.
Pirated minecraft can be made to work with servers, but that's on the server side. The way that the login servers work is that when you log in, Mojang hands your client a token. You go to the server, and the server asks for the token during the connection handshake. It takes the token, asks Mojang for the copy of the token they handed your client, and compares. If it's a match, it brings you into the server, no muss no fuss. Pirated MC versions bypass the server authentication, and when the server asks for the token they don't have one to give. So you turn off the asking for the token, and pirated MC works perfectly fine.
And as >>128373106 said, Fun is subjective. You make your own fun, and you can have as much fun on your own as you can with other people, as can other people make things boring as you can be bored.
>>128372748
you should probably wait a few years for the second generation of devices to come out so that the technology can mature and there are more VR compatible games.
