I think we should have a community "Uber-breeder" look it up on dire wolf 20s channel. We could have it in spawn for people who need to farm bees fast, I could provide the electron tubes (for mutaters and special blocks), wax and few other bits and bobs if needed. Anyone wanna help?
*an uber-breeder is a set if machines direwolf put together to literally farm bees instantly and mutate immediately. He from rocky to emerald in a few minutes.

Don't think DarkApostle's saying to completely drop tech- he's running around in Power Armour himself- but if you ever decide to do Accords things, it's preferred that you use or at least try the Magic way of doing stuff. For example- sorting systems- Golem sorting systems can be pretty awesome, especially when you get Advanced Golems.
Or ask one of the Lords for help if you're setting up a Thaumcraft area for yourself- elsewise just stop by the Tower and use the public facilities there- the basic Thaumcraft Workshops on the first floor are just about done.

Cool, so are people saying that a community alveary is a definite no no, I think if we kit it out with soul frames, chocolate frames and tge mutaters of course, it could work quite effectively. Also it's a nice community goal to benefit beginners, it's a win-win

Darkinnit, the next time that we're both on at the same time could you teleport me to some innocuous location? I logged off whilst trapped in my teleporters, again, and feel that asking for Corpses' help yet again would be insulting him a little. =/
Though I have learned to never use crystal portals (bar other people's ones it seems) again. The amount of hassle they cause is far beyond what it would be to just retrieve the animals that I was transporting on foot.

What exactly happened, did you have linking books linked to the place of your portals? If it's something I can help you with id gladly do it.

Post by: Wyrmalla
I've had enough help from other players I think. I caused my current situation via my own carelessness. Currently the issue is the same one I posted on the previous page, but this time with the fun element of falling x amount of blocks before I teleport. The issue is that the server teleports me before I have control of my character (ie on the loading screen) due to a bit of lag on my part (or just natural loading times). Thus I can't place blocks beneath me to stop myself from hitting the other portal (they just disappear) as the server thinks that by the time I've coming out of one portal on my screen, I've already hit the other one. At least that's my interpretation of the situation.
If there was a second lapse before a crystal teleported you, or you had to reenter the portal for it to work, I'd be fine, but I'm assuming this is an uncommon issue.
Meh, I'll take a break from FtB for a bit I guess. =P

Corpeses, as your the only one to have an alveary to my knowledge, how is it compared to an apiary, I'm talking about speed, mutation and resource. Is it a necessary thing in your bee arsenal? Would you be willing to trade, I'd love to have one but I'd need industrious which isn't my chosen route of bees. What do you want?

Alvearies are inferior to a battery of apiaries, by a wide margin, for every purpose bar mass production of combs.

I have made a thing.
Wireless Redstone Frequency 999 is now named "TwoMinutesRemain".
When the server gives its two minute warning before the restart, this frequency activates a redstone signal.
If desired, you can use this to close down any machines or systems you have in time for the server restart. This can help with rare item loss from items "in transit" between machines or pipes etc at the exact moment of a restart.

Okay Iustis/Not_U, I was able to get on but wasn't able to do much. I shoveled some ore in the pulverizers and some dust in the furnaces to make myself useful. We got a stack and a half of iron out of it along with some lead, silver, tin, etc. I logged off with the pulverizers running on empty and full of tin and silver ores and put all my extra stuff in the chest in the machine room.
So yeah, hopefully once I get the the mscorsvw.exe issue sorted out (this computer is already low on processing power, and that windows utility is eating a lot of it up) I'll try again.
But it doesn't look good for this lappy-- a gigabyte less RAM and only a 1.5ghz single core processor, not very good for modded minecraft. When I get my desktop back I'll be able to be more productive.

A few other uses I thought of:
Mining (or other) Turtles - you could use it to signal to the turtle to return to its "home" position so that it knows where it is when the server restarts.
The display or alarm you've mentioned - if you frequently miss the warning in chat, have a simple lamp, note block alarm or display to let you know - the signal stays on for the last two minutes before the restart.
Thaumcraft Golems - I'm not sure if you can fit redpower deployers with a wand and then transposers or obisdian pipes to pick up the golem? There may be another way to do it.
Lockdown - If you like to just logoff and not come back when the server restarts, you could have it set to return all your minecarts/trains/turtles, lock all your doors and arm an MFFS - just make sure it doesn't unlock everything when the server restarts 
Counter - As it activates every two hours you could use it as a long term counter or extra slow timer.

Talk Iustis through it next time you two are on? I have little to no experience with redpower aside from using the occasional gate block.

Usefully, all blulectric components conduct blutricity, so a solar on the end of a row will still power a machine without a direct link.

Redpower's removal is only being considered at this point, but yes the slow updates do hold up the mod pack. Especially as apparently Eloraam (Redpower author) refuses any help to update it.
Dark Apostle, I told you in-game, no. You go inside a machine designed to kill things, you get what's coming to you. If the void pipes were a surprise, then that's probably because you didn't build it and shouldn't have been inside it in the first place.

He uses the beta version of FtB that is designed for the mod authors to test everything, when mods are seen to be ready they are put into a public modpack (like ultimate).

Sounds like the fun chunk loader and overly complicated lag machine problem again from the Tekkit server.

If we were near a desert we could even start making more gunpowder too (one sulfur, two saltpeter-- found in ores in desert biomes-- and one coal dust = three gunpowder), but that's less importnat.
Aluminum torches give off more light htan normal torches and, from what I can tell, also give off a pure white light.
And look cooler.

29408
Post by: Melissia
No, sulfur torches make that. Sulfur goo is basically bonemeal and red dye though.
I think anyway.
Maybe we could put a long vertical pit of sulfur torches over an adamantium buildcraft pipe that sucks it all in, to produce an easy supply of sulfur goo fertilizer?
Mind you it can't be used in fertilizer machines but it seems like a great source for hand-fertilizer.
Goes like this:
1 Sulfur + 1 Stick = 8 Sulfur Torches, which provide a very bright yellow light and sulfur goo.
1 Sulfur Torch + 1 Aluminum = 1 Aluminum Torch, which provides a very bright white light and no goo.
14070

Dark, is there axeay to stop thaumcraft golems from stopping falling out of the world? If not could you work out a way to return the golems, like we give you a diamond and you spawn in a golem for us? This is an important thing for me as I'll be making a sorting system, and anvil will be making a similar one. What do you think?

Presumably the solution would be to use piping, which isn't buggy as hell.
Does anyone have an 100% working version of Sphax for FTB? I'll pay ingame resources for an emailed copy. Sometimes I get sick of soartex. Say... 5 Diamonds?

Whelp. I was an idiot.
Kitted out, I went into a Pit of Doom. The remnants of CptPrice's frame miner. Wall to wall mobs.
I was trying to run through a bunch, but got arrowed and exploded, and I think I lost essentially all of my stuff- Haste III Feather Falling IV, Fire Protection IV Unbreaking III Boots of the Traveler- the robes and sword I just got from Pimp, Treasure III Potency III Charge I Wand of Excavation, and a Potency II Charge I Wand of Fire. As well as all the neat mob drops I'd managed to get (but those aren't important).
I suppose this is my own fault, and I'll just ahve to rebuild my armoury. It's great that Charge is now so very ridiculously rare.

Put Golems in chests or your inventory before the restart, that's it. Chunk loaders won't help because the chunks get unloaded when Minecraft shuts down for the restart.
No I won't return lost golems, put them in chests. I know it sucks but Thaumcraft is buggy and I have no desire to babysit it. Don't like it, don't use it.

Hey, if we can have people refusing to use pipes because they're not "Magicky" enough, we can have people refusing to use Warded Stone because it's not "Sciency" enough.
But Warded Stone is still awesome. It's essentially placeable, colorable bedrock.
And with the 2 minute marker Redstone signal, and a Deployer (if you shoot or hit golems, they take damage and can be destroyed/die) with a Wand, you might be able to set up something that'll automatically unplace golems.

If it's your only pair of goggles, I'd allow it. You'll have to clear it with the rest, though. I'm just building the thing. If you need Aqua shards, try looking underneath oceans. There's tons of them there.
In a way, the Accords is more about building an infrastructure without using the Tech mods. Things like Redpower Panels or blocks of Bronze or Aluminum, or using pipes or whatever as sources of Aspects is alright- but a pipe-based sorting system, or a Cart Farm, or Autarchic Gates, single-block machines... Not so much hated as just us being desirous of them being unneeded. Like how the Amish don't go around smashing their neighbors' Television sets and slashing tires, but just choose not to avail themselves of those things instead.

I might stop by to take you up on that.
I'll see what I can't do with my own enchanting first, though- books tend to waste a lot of potential, especially when enchanting Thaumic equipment, which can often get 3-4 top-level enchants per 30 levels.

Yeah anvil, it took me weeks to get repair on my sword of zephyr, it took me 2 days to enchant about 20 pieces of equipment with repair 2 and charging

I was actually thinking of making a base-creating turtle or builder so we could have fights between them
but then remembered we only ever have like 3 people on.
I'd be up for it (assuming I can tear myself away from Guild Wars 2 for a little bit).
I was thinking fillers guarded by reinforced stone to give an outline and turtles to add the detail work.
Could we request an age for that, Dark? Or should we simply use the mega build age?

Be very, very careful of using any sort of machinery to place warded stone, glass, or doors. Because then you can't remove them. Ever. At all. Period. You'll have to beg Dark to go into creative and destroy them.

I was just going to use normal reinforced stone.
That way, one can simply protect the machinery/piping that builds everything and flip a switch to rebuild the castle.

I'll make the point that there's no use requesting for new ages for things that'll be used rarely, or only a few times before people get bored with them. What's the point in clogging up server memory? If there's any projects that work outside normal server related activities then just go to the mega build age, its not like its any less of a deadzone already. =P

I am fine with building my mega fortress in the cave age. I just need to clear out the space around it and above it so I can build the dang thing.

Cool. I'll try to find time to go explore it, if it's safe to do so.

Maybe you can hire someone to help clear it out and plant torches? Don't go overboard in payment mind you . If they're asking for too much, they're probably not worth it anyway.

Send in Pimp. He'd be thrilled that someone wanted his help with combat- he's been asking for that sort of stuff to do for a while now, I think. And I believe he's got experience in Lich towers.
Or I could see if StormWarriors wanted to clear another one, though he seems in it for the liches themselves more than the mobs.
Might want to get a Soul Shard and grab the spawners that way, too.

Don't go into a labyrinth without the following
A REALLY GOOD SWORD
A ranged weapon
Do not bring quantum armor mobs in the twilight dimension will ignore its armor value.
Bring either the following armor
Thaumium Armor (with repair)
Iron (armor protection 2+ or better)
Diamond (armor protection 1 or better)

The slimes are fun to kill. Because they drop charms of keep. Which I suggest we should build a farm for them... So we may never truly die. MUHAHAHA
Minotaurs are stupid ai. CHARGE (runs into wall...)

Thanks to Dark got the stuff back so don't really need to. I also found a Dark Tower and cleared out most of the treasure.
However I might when I find a Hydra. Fun thing is currently gravity guns damage them and they do ridiculous damage. Found this out in singleplayer when I spawned a few into a city.

I actually died after killing the Minoshroom.
Power armour is good enough for it. I had iron plating in everything and energy shields in 2-3 pieces as well. So my armour meter was one off full. And no need for a sword, power glove pew pews everything to death.

I suppose I should get to that instead of finding more landmarks to explore in the dark. We're about 5k out from the portal there anyway so shouldn't run into other people too much.

Good good. Perhaps you can make another bookportal to that area from your house once it's cleansed? I hesitate to cross 5k blocks of land at 5 frames/second.

Post by: SagesStone
My book goes to that area 5k away from the portal.
But I agree the tower could use one as well. As it is I'll probably have to use the gravity gun to carry you to it faster.
It's not far away, but it is more or less on the other side of the glacier.

Slowpoke OmegaPython said: ↑
“Thanks for the update Slow. I hope all goes well with the packs this time. I'm assuming, because of Magic World 2, you have decided not to put Ars Magica in Ultimate/Beta 1.5 Pack?
These are hard decisions to make and as always this is subjective and really only based really on what I believe is best for the overall pack. However as things stand at this moment the answer to your question is that we wont be including Ars Magica in our main pack by default.
Damn it. though good news! Slowpoke
OK I will try to answer a couple of the questions here. I dont want to just update the original Magicworld as there are mods that we want to remove however I dont want to force this change on people. I would much rather give them a choice. It costs us nothing to have 2 Magicworld packs on the server and people can then choose which one they want to play with. As far as I know, both Magicworld and Techworld are considered stable (if there is such a thing in modded Minecraft) . I suspect these 2 packs will be locked down and called final very shortly. (that call hasnt been made yet though)
This is the thing with making modpacks. It is not just the mods that evolve, we do as well (at least I hope so). The early packs were essentially made as filler packs to help whilst we waited for mods to come along which allowed us to make the packs we wanted to make (Ultimate). Mods were put in these packs that shouldn't really have been there (Thermal Expansion in Magicworld being a great example). The next pack which be a much better experience I hope.
To the best of my knowledge there are no current plans to update the Direwolf20 pack in 1.5. At least not until all mods that are in the pack have been updated.
Yes, Tinkers Construct is planned for the 1.5 preview pack (please dont read to much into this name, we just have no idea what to actually call it as nothing is quite right.)
As to world reboots, we want to minimize the need for that as much as we possibly can. However we cannot hold off updating packs for ever. At some point you need to add a cut off date and just roll with it. We are not there yet though with our packs, however I do want to update as soon as I feel we can. Right now that looks like several weeks after 1.6's release, so current owners can make plans accordingly.

Does anyone happen to know the key to set electric jetpacks to hover? M seems to be mapped to the minimap as well as "change mode", though when I remap the minimap key it still doesn't do anything. The N key, which the wiki says is the correct key, also doesn't seem to do it. I'm probably missing something.
Oh yes, and I know Power Armour has an unlimited jetpack. ...But an electric one's the extent that I can make without having any machines. =P

Ah, got it. I needed to rebind the mode control to something other than its default key. Now that I can hover though I don't really see the point. Hovering's just descending at a slightly slower pace apparently, not remaining stationary in flight that I had expected. =/

Anvildude, (and anyone else interested in getting just the right amount of certain aspects) may be interested in this thing I've set up at the spawn machine room. It trades your "useless" iron nuggets for the "useful" iron nuggets that have aspects on them:
Just pop your iron nuggets in the top middle slot, and out come iron nuggets from the bottom slot.
Sorry, I should have set this up some time ago.

Yaaay!!! All we need now is an enderchest and a pair of Golems to make it accessible from any Magery location imaginable!
I think it'd be kinda neat to eventually have all the various Spawn/Shared processes, machines and equipment routed through specific public Ender frequencies, and then Dark would just encase the whole thing in Warded Stone with a single door only he could access, so it'd be a 'magic box full of nanites' that does useful stuff.
