5th for hello reddit!
>>126186794
FTB doesn't care about mods or minecraft, they just download every famous mod they can find, meld them together in an unholy abomination, and don't give a shit about how the mods actually function or the rights of the people who made the mods.
Bumping request from last thread. Anyone know a mod that will give a heavier impact on dying besides just losing my items? A long-term debuff on respawn, or (semi-)permanent HP loss if I die too often, would be great.
Actually, maybe I could just work in reverse and build myself HP as I progress, with the danger being losing that on death along with the rest of my items. I vaguely recall a mod like that, but can't recall the name. If anyone knows it, that'd be great, too.
>>126187149
> I vaguely recall a mod like that
Maybe I wasn't specific enough. I vaguely recall a mod -that would allow you to change how much HP a new player in the world starts with,- and I think there might have been some in-mod way to increase your max health, too. I also have no clue whether it was for 1.6.4 or 1.7.10; I sorely hope it's been updated if the former is the case.

The 'wrong' part is that if you don't want your mod or modpack badly represented, you're suddenly the WORST MOST EVIL bad guy because you don't want your mods in their horrid pile of shit. And they usually throw your mod in there eventually, anyway.

hello autism
>>126187149
A 'wellness' system would be cool. You start out at 10 hearts, but as you die or starve, your maximum hearts slowly lower to 5. And the longer you survive in relatively good health, your hearts can raise up to a maximum of 15.
>>126187825
I think there was something like that on 1.7
It was in MadPack and BnB(maybe).
>>126187997
I wonder if I could cobble this together. I have very little modding/programming experience, but I recall parts of similar features from other mods that are hopefully on github.
>>126188412
The way I see it, whenever your health and hunger are both full, your 'wellness' should slowly increase. When it hits a certain threshold, you get an extra heart.
When you take damage due to starving, your wellness begins to decrease.
When you die, it takes a HUGE chunk out of your wellness- enough to lose a heart or two.
If you're below 'default' wellness, then it should increase faster. If you're above default, then it should decrease faster.

Except skeletons. Fuck them and their spam arrows.
*still in the process of configging away most of the bloat
>>126190891
I'm working on a similar thing. Feel free to ask for details on an unfamiliar mod, I've done my research.
http://pastebin.com/sN11ba8D
Mods marked with "heavily configured" or the like will, as you may gather, require a lot of configuration to not be shit. But they can be good, if you bother. It sounds like you know that already.
>>126189637someone mod thisjew steel looks like normal steel but its more durable and it sometimes whisper "oy vey"

You could retexture TiCon Pig Iron. It's made of iron, blood and emeralds. That sounds like Jew Steel to me.

Assuming you don't want all the bloat, look up "Dynamic Sword Skills"

And thanks for the list, mate. Herdcraft was what I was looking for!
>>126191767I'm kinda interested in what the mod has to offer. DSS doesn't work with TiCon swords, so I figured a bit more variety would be necessary.
I'm modding again.
Trying to get a bunch of work done in the next week in time for Asie's Better-Than-Minecon thing. Unfortunately, it'll still be real unfinished.
What I have done:
* In-world finite gas blocks which are not tile-entities
* A dirt-fueled engine with the downside of producing a bunch of poisonous smog.
* A heat system and some basic blocks to test it (the system works - I just don't have any content that uses it yet).
* Acid blocks that will fucking kill you (with a terrible horribad texture)
* A fuckjillion lines of library code that allow me to more easily write new stuff, especially for GUIs, config options, and initializing blocks / items.
Now, the reason I'm posting here is, I have no idea what to prioritize for my next task. Here are the few things I want to get done:
* Burner blocks which heat blocks above them, and the ability for those burner blocks to turn water blocks to in-world steam (Since I have gas code and a bunch of GUI code the hardest part of this would actually be rendering and fueling logic for the burners)
* Better textures for acid + a chemical thrower item which can spit acid to rapidly mine away dirt, sand, gravel, and stone but not ores
* Sticky wall-climbing gloves, like those ones mDiyo briefly added to TCon and then removed
* An early-game alternative to the Reliquary Void Tear that I can't be bothered writing about right now.
* Atypical tree-harvesting system, which consists of railguns (or pressure guns) and buzzsaw blades - the guns can be set up (like dispensers) to fire the buzzsaw blades at trees. The sawblades would treecapitate whatever they hit.
What should I focus on so I can have the feature done by BTM16, hm? And what should I avoid working on for that reason?

The block you're using as a trim is a metal grate. It's not a wall, it's something to walk on. The connected texture rivet wall can be a wall but it's so bland I don't know why it's your main material
Look up pictures of real factories, they are not metal they're mostly concrete. You have to add other shit in there, buildings aren't just made of metal, metal is just for structural support

FastLeafDecay was causing an issue since RT already has a built in faster leaf decay option, but I have no idea what's causing the issue with Farseek and Repose.

>>126200295
Alright, let's follow your logic for a moment then. 1.8 is the 1.7.2 and 1.8.8 is the 1.7.10. So what's the problem?
It's not a broken mess at all.
>reduced modpacks
Yeah, not everyone has ported yet due to guys like you shitting on 1.8.8.
>>126198192
try replacing the foundation-like at the bottom with something rocky.
put in windows, border them with a different block.
make the floor a different block from the trim on the bottom--personally I use the black wireframe factory block for floors.
try out technical blocks too to break up factory blocks; like, make an air intake somewhere or something.

(I'm not the guy you're responding to, I'm actually curious as to why we should give a shit about 1.8 when 1.9 is coming out)
>want to set up a serb
>no idea for a theme

>>126200604
No, you're still getting it wrong. 1.8 is the 1.7.2 and 1.8.8 is STILL 1.7.2 (or 1.7.4, to be less harsh).

You have IE and chisel, you have 20 different types of concrete and 4+ ways to make it. Put some concrete under that thing before it sinks into the swamp.
Are the monster girl mod mobs tied to vanilla mob spawns? I turned off vanilla enemy spawns with Mob spawn controls and made sure all of the monster girl mod mobs were enabled but now nothing but ambient creatures [sheep/chicken/cow] are spawning. I tried using the Just another spawner mod but couldn't understand how it worked so I can't use that one.

Here's the next task you should work on.
Smog biome. Slowly blackens the sky around where your engines run too much. Rain becomes acid rain. The biome grows the more smog you pump into the sky, and eventually condenses into a thicker, even worse biome, that constantly rains ash and that no light enters.
>>126205295
what mod? lots of dead mods are being replaced and/or ported to 1.8.8 recently
>>126205519
Soft Hardcore, mentioned earlier in the thread. It sounds absolutely perfect for the pack I'm working on, but I'll never use it.
I wonder if maybe using 5 hearts of Natural Absorption plus UHC mode for regular health might be decent, but that's a bit different from what I really want.
>>126205808
Look up the Sync mod.
It's based off of Corridor Digital's Sync video.
IIRC, it's compatable with HC mode.
Basically, what it does, is it allows you to make clones of yourself. You can use them sort of like waypoints (In that you can switch bodies at will, even between dimensions) and on death, you will be placed into the clone that's nearest you. It doesn't transfer your inventory, though.
>>126206434
Does it make a lot of lag?
Can... can I make rows upon rows of clones?
>>126206750
Haven't used it (Kind of don't need it since I don't play on HC, and I use journey map's teleportation because I'm a bitch)
It is compatible with gravestones, if you're curious.
Yeah, it uses pigs and other mods on treadmills for power (might be able to use villagers, I don't know)
>all this info comes from a spotlight I saw once
>>126206935

Eh, not really serious enough for what I have planned.

>>126206750
Yes.
The way sync bodies work is this:
You have a Constructor (powered by either pigs on treadmills, or other power mods)
and a Container.
You create a clone in the constructor, and then anytime you enter a Container, you can possess any clone of you that's inside a constructor or container. So yeah, you could make bank after bank of clones. You only really need power for the cosntructor, while the containers just need a redstone pulse (DO NOT DESTROY THE REDSTONE PULSE WHILE THERE'S A CLONE IN THERE)

Guy who switched SD cards the other day here. Apparently FAT32 partitions just fuck their shit when being resized. So it was actually everything but the emunand getting fucked up, and the error was probably menuhax failing.
What I ended up doing after using dd to copy the 16GB SD to the 64GB SD was then to copy the actual files off of it (so everything but the emunand), expand the partition again, reformat it after that (all the while leaving the 1024MB of preceding space alone since it's emunand) and then copying the files back on to the NEW larger fat32 partition. Worked like a charm and now I've got room to install games again.

What would you say is a fair EMC for various blood magic slates? I was thinking 256 for the basic slate, and then double it for the next tier, and then double it again, etc, because it doesn't take any blood that way.
>>126221595
>fair
>EMC
pick one
>>126222236
Right, sorry, I'll reword my question.
What would you say is an EMC for the Blood Magic slates that's relatively equal with the effort required to make the slates normally?
Take Iron as an example. 256 EMC for one ingot.
... Or maybe I could just balance blood cost directly with EMC cost. Blank slate costs a thousand, Reinforced slate costs 3000 (2000 for the upgrade, 1000 for the base), while the imbued takes 8000.
>>126222693
Well I don't use EE myself (was mostly just memeing in my previous post), but if you ask me given what I know of the mod the more expensive they are the better. So if I had to choose, I'd go with your second suggestion there. One slate is definitely a lot more effort than one iron ingot, so 256 even as a baseline in a multiplicative series seems really low.
recommend me some mods pls. i've been playing ftb infinite for a while but it's a complete clusterfuck. i want a modpack where i actually have a reason to build giant bases and such, it's incredibly satisfying to turn peaceful villages into industrial landscapes so i want an industry/technology focused modpack where there's a lot of stuff to do.

Here's my build!
Well, it's more like a direct screenshot of me in my build as I clear things (monsters, actually) out to start laying down glowstone strips.
Then I begin farming!
>>126231803
>>126232918
... Goddamnit, I absolutely NEVER remember to attach the screenshot to it.
A few things.
1. I want a resource pack that looks good with and without Shaders that is 64x64. It is subjective, but most of you have gud taste.
2. Small mods to go with Advent of Ascension.
Should I use mystcraft in my tech pack for mining ages?
Man, it's amazing how much modded mc has evolved, and maybe in not all the right ways.
I remember finding ic2's crafting of circuits and refined iron the peak of tedium.
Now i'm making magical reinforced stone and glass to fuse together into plates and splashing magical water on them to make a display withich altogether is just 1/9th of a recipe I need to make
>>126233580
RFtools is probably better. Because it's *technological*.
Rename pages to 'dimlets' and it's basically the same, only you need to spend power to keep the universe existing.
>>126233750
Isn't there some kind of Factorio-tier crafting? You just pick the end product and you automatically craft it over time?
>>126235772
That would be applied energistics, or any mod that's added it's own version of it. I personally don't use it because I don't like all the shit AE asks you to do, and I generally don't play microcrafting-intensive mods (the example I listed there was something from essential craft 3, and it's my first time going through it, so I didn't know what to expect, but it has some nice gear)
My first world was a hellish lake of muoutite with globules of netherrack up above, constantly twilight, that simultaniously thunders, burns, and poisons everyone in it.
This one is much more pleasant- now I can finally start grabbing fantasy metals! Or having my slaves do it.

Why have I not heard of this before?
Now while I have my slaves laboring in another dimension, I decided to finish my castle. The Inevitable Disaster is done! Except for the towers, but they each need to be done on a case-by-case basis where I build them up. The left rearmost tower is already the smeltry, and the rightmost might become my mystcraft tower/library. Then one more to put my airship, and the last one for whatever the hell I feel like.

I don't like the thirty extra inventory pages it adds. Is there some way to disable them, or maybe Traveller's Gear compatibility?
How many mods is too many?
>>126245480
>too many
No such thing. Most modpacks I make have around 80-110 mods, but less picky people can easily approach 200 or higher.
>>126245650
Shit man, I thought I had a lot at 46. Doesn't shit get unstable with that many?
>>126245753
Nah, not really. I mean, depends what mods you use, but for the most part you can slap shit in and get it working nice just by configuring everything properly.
>>126245753
>>126245480
My pack has 71, I could probably go up to 80. If you have like 100+ mods you're just a kitchen sink shitter

>>126245753
the number of mods doesn't mean anything
certain mods may cause crashes or lag regardless of total count
however if you have "too many mods" your pack will probably turn into a kitchen sink, so avoid that if you want a good pck

Here's an idea-
Cut out the flowers.
Instead of generating mana via flowers, make a botania addon that's all about ley lines, sapping power from either the lines themselves or a nexus. Instead of working like nodes, where it's a block you tap for vis or whatever, ley lines are kind of like a chunk-wide modifier. You find a ley line with some kind of locator compass, and it'll glow when you're in a ley line chunk. From there, you can plonk down a crystal (made with a diamond and a few petals or something) that taps the ley line for mana.
Each ley line has a different Y-coordinate that acts as a 'sweet spot' where you gain more mana.
Or, alternatively, you can make a higher tier detector- this one made with runes. The higher tier detector doesn't point you toward the ley lines- instead it points you toward a Nexus. Nexuses are extremely rare, places where two or more ley lines all point the same way, and they give a much larger amount of mana- possibly enough to power an elven portal.
Hell, you could also throw in Standing Stones, which are obelisks that, when hit by mana, gives some kind of global effect. Like a supercharged beacon, when active. So if you're lucky, you find a Standing Stone and a Ley Line in the same location, so you can just use the Line to power the stone immediately. You can't move the Stone, at least not without end-tier gear, and you can't choose what bonus it gives you, but it might be pretty useful if you end up with a stone that, say, gives you constant Saturation. Or gives you constant Flight.Or opens a True portal from the elven world, causing enemy pixies, monsters, and random elven items to spontaniously spawn all throughout the area in an uncontrolled fashion whilst open.
Then again, I'm one of those useless 'idea guys' whose never made a minecraft mod, so I have no clue how feasible any of this is. Probably not very.
>>126251504
The fact of the matter is that ftb has huge sway over the community. If you mod is in an ftb pack and for some reason comes off as a piece of shit, good fucking luck.
It's like if the BBB gave your company a review but first it came into HQ and fucked up all the filing cabinets and records. Then asked to audit them.
>>126251858
>Standing stone that, when charged with a titanic amount of mana, becomes a semi-permenant huge Livingstone Golem that shoots lasers from its eyes and obeys your commands.
I want this.
>>126209528
>>126250497
If there's one thing I'd want from a Botania addon it's a proper Alfheim dimension. No more tossing shit through a portal, get your ass into elfland with its magic blue/cyan grass and trees, a whole new set of mobs to discover, and elven villagers who replace the current input/output system. I don't care how much handwavy backstory you put into it, building a huge portal like that just to toss items into is fucking stupid and it's easily my least favorite feature of Botania. Even worse than the memes.
The only thing that annoys me about >muh permissions is when there's a mod with a clear flaw but good in other ways. Then the modder explicitly declines to fix the flaw.
It's like, if you're not going to do it at least let someone else do it jesus christ.Fucking fairy lights

>>126253251
The tc stuff is generally such a localized aspect of a world though. I feel like to acheive what you've said, you'd REALLY have to jack up the spawn rates of the biomes/altars/hungry nodes

I've yet to see a hungry node on the surface of my current world. I need one to feed and energise for power.

>>126254532
Mine all around their base. Destroy their machines. While you're out on a glorious adventure looking for new nodes to drain and dungeons to raid, they'll be stuck in front of a crafting table or in the mines making up for lost time. Who's the winner there, hm?
>>126254532
Mine the shit out of their resources before them
blood magic has a ritual that pulls resources up without damaging the terrain, and thaumcraft has the tunnel bore, which does damage the terrain, but can be tilted in any of the 6 directions.
Burn oil, destroy rubber trees if any are included for your mods, if there's BEES, destroy the hives
>>126254532
if witchery is installed, cast curse of misfortune on him

>>126254532
Witchery.
Sneak into his bedroom with an invis potion and as many taglocks as you can gather.
Mark him with ALL of them.
Then you can curse him, teleport him into a circle that you've previously erected a shield around (use a marking rune thingy to select where the shield goes, of course, so he can't just break the circle on the inside)
And then make him a deal. He stops waging his war, and you won't summon a demon in there with him.

>>126255241
Yeah, but it's a lot more fun just to directly fuck with him.
Vampiric poppet so that any damage you take goes to him, teleporting him away whenever he's trying to do something.
Go into the spirit realm and place banshee effigies ALL THROUGHOUT THEIR BASE so they just hear constant screaming everywhere.
Become a vampire. Hunt them! (And make sure you have a huge store of ritual supplies to make it nighttime. Set it to become night via daylight sensor so it's constantly night)
Witchery is really good for PVP.
It's like you fags don't even WANT to be comfy

Your shovel's durability matters too. I don't remember the exact rate, but you needed something like 1 durability per 100 max flux you want to put on the tool.
>>126258720
yup that was the problem
switching to steel parts fixed it
>>126258815
I don't actually know how to switch parts out, actually. I've never had a need to. I mean, blightfall had a tooltip that implied you could, but I never actually figured out how.

Does it overwrite the old part, or does the old part just kind of... get spit out?
>>126259007
it overwrites the old part
TiCon armor when?
Specifically, one that you make different parts out of different materials for different benefits. Something like how Bindings control both the durability of the armor and also how much/little it slows you, how Plating controls how much damage it resists, and how Pauldrons control how many modules it has, or something.

I'd say that's the best idea. Make up an EMC value for life essence and use that to calculate things you craft with it in the altar - something like that is what Thaumic Equivalence does, obviously using vis and essentia instead.

14hr reply, but I figured out how you'd do it whilein the showers.
Basically take the warp system from thaumcraft (as in literally just copy/paste), how you get whispers/etc every so often.
The more jew steel you craft, the more warp/holocaust points you accumulate, the more frequent/intense the messages become.

Shut the fuck up you fucking hypocrite. Vazkii always, ALWAYS implements whichever is the feature of the month. Remember when RWTema made those Futurama-like transport pipes? Vazkii made a similar transportation method within the same fucking week and slapped on Botania. Of course you don't, you were too busy playing with flowers and probably white knighting and demanding people on reddit refer to him as a "she" to actually pay attention to the rest of the modding community.

Step back for a second and realize you are the reason the modding community is such a cesspit and a welcome environment for FTB to jew in with their half-assed content and kitchen sink packs.
>>126266956
That's nothing in a programming point of view, unless there are hundreds of lines of code that's copy-pasted from one mod to another.

Vanilla carts can't travel vertically, or over emptiness, and require an actual cart to travel in.
