That's the maximum number "at the same time" - people join and leave and then differing timezones spread people out as you can see by the two peaks on the Day graph. One is the Europe peak and then you get the US peak time. (Although the times are skewed there with it being Easter Friday)
Hey guys the infinite iron generator is up and running and will begin on my build age wool/dye generator, if I get my way we'll have communal resources for everything i can make an infinite amount of soon
Still need ghast tears ender balls, item terrisacts, and eventually golems to keep an eye on the community chest.
I'm unsure if there is a way to directly transport Blutricty wirelessly, but you can use batteries, batboxes and any way of teleporting items along with filters to create a wireless charge/discharge system

Should have specified, that's the sort of thing I mean.
@blood lance: I believe that we've decided it's the peace symbol that the Swastika originally was before Mr. Hitler took it away, due to the orientation of it.
An update for those in the Accords: Iron Golem Protectors (the Thaumcraft version of iron golems) can be used instead of Turtles to create automatic experience grinders. However, you need to give them the Visor Accessory, which can only be researched from Knowledge Fragment crafted Unknown Theorems.
I am looking for Knowledge Fragments, now. Any and all are good- easiest way to get them is to trade from purple robed Thaumcraft Villagers.
So I've gotten the time to come on the server. I still thought we were on the beta (thingy) one, but apparently this thirty one page thread says differently. =)
Anyhow, I live at 865, -165 (currently an unassuming mound of red cobble) if anyone happens to want to come over and stab me to death (Sky_Slasher78).
Oh and also, because apparently people took ages to find one, there's a village at 825, 225. ...Which I happened upon about five minutes after leaving the spawn.
Hey I'm quick at building. At the time of posting that was just any other hill with a 4x5 room beneath. ...I only just got a bed.
I've found out, much to my own displeasure, that red rock biomes (or whatever they're called) are pretty terrible as far as ores go. I spent the better part of the morning trying to get enough iron ingots to make a bucket... Yes I could have just gone to the cave age, or even down the hill to the swamp, but one must learn to adapt to their environment.
... I do feel as though I'm a third world country compared to the other user's domains right now though. Oh look I just made some paddy fields... =)
if the village is the one with the apartment building, thats mine, i'd prefer to keep building it out but its served its purpose of making me golems for now.
I've sucessfully modified the iron grinder to work for gold and enderballs as well, just not all 3 at the same time, need some more IC solar panels to make the grinder for all 3
Working on resource distro center, after thats done I just need some dirt/grass blocks from a silk touch shovel and community chest will be online
ender chest for donations is red red red, currently need Blulectric engines, liquid tessaracts, ghast tears, have pretty much everything for trade
I don't trust nuclear. There's too many things to go wrong with them. Lightningrods, however, are a more tempting prospect. A shame that they look so bad at maximum efficiency.
In terms of what I use to get that power, I've always preferred passive generators. I used to use wind turbines for everything back in my earliest tekkit days, and now I've moved on to ultimate solars. They're wonderful things.
I miss those early Tekkit days, when I didn't have a clue what was going on. That's why I'm strongly debating trying Thaumcraft- it's something completely new.
Plus I'm going to reskin the lightning wand as a hand and use force lightning.
4, if you do end up starting some Thaumcraft, could you please keep a journal (using a book and quill- remember, don't' sign until you're completely done!) of all your discoveries and research? I'm trying to populate the Tower's library with actual in-game works, as well as things like enchanted books and maybe various linking books.
Speaking of- Hey Dark, can we use Writing Desks to re-name Linking Books? Or is that disabled?
Darnit. So you can't just disable the creation of Descriptive books? Have to keep the whole writing desk out. Whelp.
Yeah, though. Villagers are a picky lot. I really, really want to get my Thaumcraft villager to like me enough to sell Knowledge fragments- but I really need to get some emeralds first. And hopefully I can get at least a lvl 1 Angry Zombie shard in the meantime. And hopefully the first piece of Research I get from the Knowledge Fragments is the Accessory: Visor for the Golem Protectors. Then I can build the Brain machine, which'll let me (with the infinite Praecantito thing I was taught) get the Warded Stone I need to finish the Tower's outside- then I still need a Blue sheep or 10 for wool... Need a better source of Indigo or blue dye (or Minium shards, I suppose)...
I do think I've figured out a way to have a Tower-wide (or tall, I guess) Automatic Stocking system using Clay golems.
Tower's gonna have a Library, a Potions lab, an Enchanting room (which may or may not be in the library) a Book Nexus (also may or may not be in the Library- wish you could rename Linking books so much, then we could just stick a selection of them on shelves), maybe a Portal room, a Thaumic Workshop, and an Armoury. I think I've figured out a cool thing with the Soul Forge, and a bunch of Arcane Bellows, and a wooden golem.
Who said Magic was less involved than Engineering? (Nobody. That's who.)

Anvil, if there's gonna be a armoury Theres gotta be a forge, and ill gladly take up the job of forgemaster and armorer, after all I am the "fighty" of the lords
Something wierd is up with the server for me, I can connect but the chunks dont load properly and then I get lag (as in literally nothing happens). I dont get a server disconnect I just log off. Any ideas?
If you want free brains and rotten flesh, please set an enderchest to White-White-Yellow and DO NOT make it private.
There are also 4 iron chests at the base of the grinder to hold excess items so if you need a lot of brains fast, go to spawn, then go to the massive stone brick/arcane wood tower.
If the Enderchest ever fills up then items will start to be destroyed, so I would prefer people to use the enderchest.
Also an enderchest in the starter room, next to Dark's free sand enderchest (white-yellow-white is the sand chest, btw)
Dark, if it get's in the way I'm ok if you move it. Just thought that was the best place for it.
I have the enderchest but I need a ton of golems to supply it with 1 stack of each community resource since that seems to be the only way of making sure the chest doesn't fill up with stuff that we don't need or lots of stacks of one thing.
red-red-red goes into the distro center if you want to donate anything to the cause
It would speed things up quiet a bit to have a thermal generator or two if anyone has out-teched them
For anyone who's interested, I have a FtB Let's Play I'm putting on YouTube. Not much going on with it now (I keep getting lured to the Server) but I'll attempt regular updates. Might also do other game let's plays on my channel.
Watched the two episodes you have up, the only criticism I have is you need to reduce the ingame volume and perhaps relax a little... You seem to very carefully pronounce any contraction (such as couldn't it) and it seems a little forced.
You know, I'm not doing the contractions thing on purpose? I think I just talk that way. Ingame volume, though- good tip. Will do.
I think I'm a little more relaxed in the third one- it's actually uploading right now. See what you think?
And thanks for the compliments on my voice. I sound strange to myself, but I'll admit, I sound better than I thought I would when I started doing recordings of stuff.
Heh. Forgot that YouTube doesn't accept videos over 15 min if you're new. (or something like that). Gonna have to do a little bit of editing on this one. Whoops.
Would definitely be up for a FtB walkabout-- And I have a working microphone now! Skype name is, surprise surprise, Anvildude.
Would actually be kinda neat for everyone to have a say, and for this to become a "Once a Month" sort of thing. Then we could look back on it, see what's changed, and such.
I've just been to about eight villages dotted across the map (mostly the north and west). If anyone wants a link book to one you can borrow the ones stored in my house. Just ask when I get on though, as I'm yet to build a linking room in another age as of the moment (tomorrow's task).
Well the books may be of use for anyone wanting to travel to that area of the map, as they're dotted a couple of hundred blocks apart.
I didn't stick a book back in all of the locations though, so be warned that you should bring one with you if you go to any of the villages for the moment.
Just happened to decide to dig to the surface in the cave age and what do I find? A chest, right above the spawn, with a Sword of the Zephr, Wispy Essence, Atlas Portal Gun, an Enchanted book and a Logic Matrix Programmer. ...Probably not a big thing for those with established houses, but made the day for little me. I'd make the point too that I don't know what half of that stuff is (but I won't be shooting the moon any time soon). =)
Also... Now need to invest in fire resistance armour. =P
Sword of the Zephyr is a magic thaumsword with a special wind burst that pushes entities away from you.
Also has a chainlighting effect when you attack a mob that's near other mobs
It's part of the PortalGun Mod. Bizarrely, while the Portal Gun (and Gravity Gun) mod has one of the most adjustable config files out there, this Material Emancipation Grid can't be disabled (possibly because it's not finished)
In the Portal games, it's basically a forcefield that you can walk through, but any items you're carrying get destroyed.
So be careful with it if you do try it out.
I've not heard of anyone having any issues, but if you place it and it spawns Withers in your house, it's your own fault
I've left the cave age for now, not wanting to lose another load of stuff to a stupid death. ...I'm now in the Twilight Forest hunting Lich' and punching Hydras. XD
Keep a journal of your journeys! Seriously, writable books aren't that hard to make, and I really, REEEAAAALLLYYY want to fill the Library with actual readable stuff. We got bookshelves, lets fill them up!
Actually- for any and all of you. Go ahead and write stuff. Doesn't matter what (journals are neat, research notes are neat) doesn't matter in what style (I'm doing mine 'in world' but anything goes), just write books, so I can put them in bookshelves in the Library at 0,0. Then when anyone new comes on, we can just direct them there (gonna make a thoroughfair eventually) to let them research what everything is. I know NEI can sometimes be confusing, and not everyone likes using wikis.

I'm thinking I should make a treasure map leading to a series of clues
Go ahead! I just want stuff, Variety, BOOKS of all kinds. I'm talking hundreds if possible.
This place is gonna be awesome eventually. Like I mentioned, I'm planning a golem system with some farms and grinders and autogenerator things to keep the whole tower supplied with basic resources (if possible), and hopefully I'll be able to manage it with hidden hallways so you'll just hear the pitter-patter of little wooden, clay, and stone feet all over the place. The farms and grinders will be waay down deep below the tower.
There'll be a central Library setup around the central Shaft- multi-level (two or three floors, at three or four shelves high each), an armoury with a forge and Infernal Furnace (and normal ones as well- the infernal furnace can be kinda harshe on the local aura, apparently). This will be in one of the offshoot towers- this one will probably be one of the 'floaty' ones, connected by a single hallway. There will be a dormitory tower as well, with a similar setup (though maybe set up like a 'cactus arm' bud tower). A potions room, and an enchanting room, probably each in their own little bud towers- Relaxation areas, lounges... Kitchens maybe. Waaaay at the top (it'll be very very tall) will be the Lord's Council Hall. And everything will be accessible with a series of Arcane Levitators setup for both going up and coming down.

Oh wait i didn't see my name No one that i remember I think we should make a wizard tower for each lord.
Still working on the bees, will record my mutation discoveries
Also, n case anvil didn't see, brain grinder is up and running
Though now It's destroying most of the rotten flesh, logged on yesterday to find the machine almost clogged with rotten flesh...
Also the wooden golems running the device are prone to go AWOL... so if you are next to the device and it isn't working look around the tower to see if they are outside enjoying the sun...

Whilst I'm currently living as a hermit wizard raising bees and studying researching Thaumcraft, I'm very happy to help with interiors of the tower/be part of a larger community.
Brilliant, also asherian that was the original plan, lords have a personal tower and there's a main tower for the triarii in general.
Also thanks osh, next time anvils online talk to him and he'll get you a job, after all he is the actual guy building it.
Alrighty then. Well, what I currently need most are Warded Stone- we've got the Brains down, and smoothstone's never really an issue- it's the Thaumium Ingots which are, right now, the clog in the machine, which are required for the Arcane Stone Blocks which go into Warded Stone. We'll also need Arcane Levitators (a bunch) so if you want to start collecting Air shards, I'd be appreciative of them. Don't make the levitators yet, though- Not sure how many we'll need, and don't want to waste them.
The Location is 0,0 in the overworld- not that far from spawn, but decently away. You should actually be able to see it on the map- it's the big circle. It looks a lot more impressive in-game, because the map doesn't support Thaumcraft blocks apparently.
We also need Lapis Lazuli, Blue Xychorium/Xychoridite, and sapphire blocks. Also, if one of you would like to set up a Blue Wool farm, that'd be awesome. Pretty much anything blue that you can build with. Blue Metal Fenceposts and stuff as well.
One thing that can be completely handed over to anyone who wants it, is the Entrance. I haven't decided whether we'll use a bridge or a docks, so don't build anything out to the tower just yet, but there's a cove perfectly in line with the tower- anyone who wishes can start making that better as the shore-side entrance to the Tower. If you want to start on a major thoroughfair to Spawn as well, that'd be pretty neat.
I'll be doing the primary tower work, though. I have a specific look in my head, a certain kind of grandeur. I know others have similarly great ideas, but generally, I think, a project tends to be more 'whole' when it's done by one person.
And of course, Write Books. It's gonna be a BIIG library, and it'll need a lot of books.
Automatically Appended Next Post: This tower will be for Everyone- something to be used as a Base of Operations- once it's up and running, I'm pretty sure everyone would be willing to help others with their own towers- I know Pimp's working on one in the Sky Realm, and I'm going to have a personal Hall/Tower in the Cave Age.
Im gonna keep a dibs on the Hill i picked out for an alternate base, ill keep all my Science Shizwaz there, and once my Thaumcraft stuff is up and running, Ill keep that at the tower
Remember, the Tower is going to be for the Community. Keep any Thaumcraft equipment you want to use for yourself in a personal place- of course, if you want to just use the Tower as your base of Thaumcraft operations, well. That's why there's gonna be a Dormitory, after all.

I can spare a few lapis and some sapphire. I also have quite a few other things.
But I suggest you use an over coat of white, so it stands out. So marble insides.
I'm currently looking for a set of Boots of the Traveler (after I accidently went to the moon) and some amber. I don't have much in the way to trade though, so it'd need to be on a bartering basis (I.e. I have lots of crap, but I don't know what any of its worth...). =P

I can make you some i'll even enchant them for you i have plenty of amber, I will drop it off at your house, I have enough supplies for the moment.
Ah tah. I don't know how to use any of the stuff in this mod package bar the machines, and well I'm wanting to try something different so I'm not using though. Thus right now I'm just going about collecting random items and hoping their useful. Unfortunately that means I'm a tad under equipped at the moment. Thaumcraft can be done independently of the other mods right? Ie I don't need to have the basic gear from another one to start up it easily?
^^ I did kill a lich in the Twilight Forest once I realised you needed to left click instead of right click to kill it though.
Oh, do portals from a portal gun work inter age? I've yet to bother trying, but that may prove useful for exploring the cave age.
Eurr... Depends on the portal. Nether and Myst portals are, of course, perfectly fine. Portal gun portals... Probably not.
Wyrmy, remember, write a book about your journey into Thaumcraft! And yes, it's pretty much independant. First thing you want is a Shard- any Shard. Use that, a stick, and a gold nugget, to make a Wand of the Apprentice. Then start right-clicking stuff to see what happens.

Uh, such a book would amount to. "Found another village, no.804. Ran in quickly, stole the villager's possessions, whilst remarking on the odd architecture decisions (like having your well twenty blocks in the air), before running on to the next one and leaving the villagers to wonder what that was about".
I've got something like twenty link books here if you're wanting them for that linking room you mentioned btw. The details I have on them is what's at the other end (Village, field with Greatwoods, mushroom biome, etc), their coords and if they have a known owner (one of them may be you'rs). I would recommend you go to the other end and add more details though (ie contains Mystcraft villagers, Silverwood, vis levels, etc) on a separate sign or whatever though ...and a lectern with a linkbook. =P
Actually I have a brilliant idea. Make a sky blue world that is mainly an island biome, but instead of water... Its lava.
Lava World.
Also to ensure we do not shrink the end. Could we have an End Biome in a mysticraft world, so we don't destroy the public one....
also Darknnit i was going through my village and I noticed something odd. All the villagers were gone, and I checked around, and it seems they have all died..... Except for one. Which I was able to save before he was massacred by a zombie horde. I was wonderin if i could get a villager spawn egg. A single one. :p
@ Asher- I think that may be your own fault for not fortifying your village properly. Lights and walls, folks!
@ Wyrm- that's perfectly fine! Do that- have a book about your travels through random villages. Make an atlas, or a journal of your journeys. I just need stuff to fill those shelves, and I'd prefer if they were actual readable books.
Gregtech makes the End infinite - there are end asteroids out in the void. Start making flying frame machines! (Still no quarrying the main end island though).
I'm not making Lava world. The nether exists. A non-hostile lava source world is overpowered.

I did. But one day i get back from being gone for a bit, and i had counted 5 villagers, i found one, out of the five.

I'm not making Lava world. The nether exists. A non-hostile lava source world is overpowered.
I was joking about the lava world though. But a regular world would be cool. But making it more difficult and more prettier would be cool. So there are no ores, just cobblestone, wood, dirt.
I like the underground world, I was actually thinking of this
Also for good survival training try this map before going to the underground world on the server.
as of late i have been using the ultimate pack on my world and may have bitten off more than i can chew in deciding to build an ethopian spawning tower in the center of a 20X20 chunk spawning null zone to achive perfect rates but the enormity of the task and the storage requirements for it are unreal, also just realised that i need a cart system to effectivley move arround the 320X320 area i have set out for my self, so does anyone know of an effective design for a rail station to place centraly in the base, it does not matter how much resources it takes, i got them up the wazoo.
also i am 1 week in to the massive digging project and got estilatly 1/30 of it done
So everyone, I am making a giant underground castle in the cave age, so I am building a massive castle, I will need... Lava. Lots of lava. Any other suggestions? Its suppose to be the home of a firelord.
So i would love to have a hell under ground basically.
Lava gates or pumping lava out of an existing pool I think are your options. I filled in a room yesterday with buckets of lava from Darkinnit's pump and it took a good while.
Oh and castles look better in caves. There's already enough forts in the nether. (Or maybe I just hate the nether that much...)
Yaaaaay so I am edge of the map away from spawn, I need supplies and the only recipe to get them means I have to trudge 3 days back to spawn to the nether.
Because I never was in the beta, only started in Ultimate, and I don't know anything but IC2. Thats why GT is such an annoyance, and its not just IC2 it affects, but buildcraft and redpower as well. So pretty much machines are dropped out for me.
Also take a look at the Pulveriser (needs Buildcraft MJ power, so a stirling or hobbyist steam engine will get you started) or the Quartz Grind Stone (needs right clicking power, for that manual labour feel)
Darkinnit, can I either get an Inventory reset to 17:30 or a Blue/Orange Portal Gun? I was refilling the lava at spawn and had placed a portal next to your lava pool. When I used the portal to your cave it spawned me in lava instead of on the dirt above it (which is a common occurrence, but its usually a visual glitch, it doesn't physically place you in the block below). =/
The lava at spawn refills itself if people don't abuse it by taking stacks and stacks of obsidian.
I'll be online shortly.
Automatically Appended Next Post: Also portal gun portals frequently place you one block too low. It's always a good idea to place portals one block higher on the wall.
Yeah I put the exit to my portal 1 block above ground level and I got teleported a few blocks below in the dirt. Good thing I dug out in time lol. I think the portal guns just have an evil AI or something.
Tis a sad day.... Also everyone, we must make a wither farm.warded blocks plus soul sand producer! I need a nether star to make my castle underground's aura node visible. And then I will combine it with a pure node. If anyone has 10 silverwood saplings, i will give you 30 diamonds and 15 air shards.
Warded Stone is awesome. And you can have Warded Glass, to look at it, and Warded Doors, to poke your head in at it.
I actually wonder how well a Potency III Wand of Lightning can damage it? Hmm... Or a Wand of Ice, might be able to lob ice chunks over a wall and hit it without it being able to see you.
I'm thinking warded stone with warded glass window to soot wand or fire and lightining at him, as their effects go through most transparent blocks (hoping warded glass is the same).
Then I'll be smug and not wear any armour... before finding out my plan failed.
Also, started work on my book for the tower, "Bees, Magic & Trees: Volume 1"
I died while mining and crashed seconds after spawning and wasn't able to get back on server for another like fifteen minutes, got alot of error messages and time outs. So eventually I managed to get back on the server and blown up by a creeper before getting to my gear, which crashed me again and prevented me getting on for another five minutes.
Would it possible for my stuff to be returned? I would have been able to get to my items easily without all the crashing and server connection issues. I lost some iron, gold ore and a few gems but I don't mind about that stuff. I was wearing my power armour with all the really expensive upgrades on it.
Helmet modules: Night vision and biggest battery.
Chest modules: Biggest battery, glider and energy armour.
Leg modules: Biggest battery, sprint assist and energy armour.
Boot modules: Shock absorbers, jet boots and biggest battery.
Power claw modules: Multi-tool upgrade, pickaxe upgrade, diamond pickaxe upgrade, plasma cannon and melee assist.
So in this case, it was Mojang's servers' fault you couldn't connect, so I've rolled you back to shortly before you died to the first skeleton. If you were in a dangerous place then, be prepared when you log in...
Automatically Appended Next Post: So it turns out the reason spawn's lava kept running out is because ChickenChunks' Chunk Loaders can be disabled with a redstone signal.
What was happening was, as soon as the lava ran out, the redstone would activate the pump, but also disable the chunk loader... so, no lava.
However, I guess that's good to know, it could be used for some interesting mechanics. Like you could leave your redstone energy cell or mfsu charging and then when it's full, disable the chunk loader. Or you could have a spot loader to keep just one chunk loaded so that you can "jump start" a larger range chunk loader when needed.
I'm looking for a block that's entirely invisible (or really close). Its for a lava puzzle I'm considering. Youknow that one scene from the third Indiana Jones movie where he has to cross the canyon on the "invisible" bridge? Well this would kind of be the same, but with lava...
Well I'm sure that I'm not currently capable of making such things, so I'd need to trade someone for them at some point if anyone was willing. Right now that's just a future plan. I've decided to make a climbing puzzle now. I'll make a large tower with an entrance at the top. To get in you need to climb the tower (via small ledges only obvious when you get up close) and push a button that opens the entrance. The entrance opening would be timed of course. Once you're in there'd probably be another puzzle before you reach the bottom, where you need to find a hidden entrance. Inside the hidden entrance would be the lava puzzle.
....And after the lava puzzle?
...
Where I keep my thaumology stuff.
...Yeah, I am feeling just that contrived right now. But hell it would suit quite well for a wizard's tower right? A bit tower of the Undying-ish. =)
* Also another puzzle
You enter a room with three portals, with four pillars with fire at the top of each either side. Entering one of these portals take you to an identical room, but with a fourth portal this come where the entrance was. The player is required to enter the portals in a certain order (each time entering an "identical" room) in order to find the exit (which would be visually similar to the entrance room, just to mess with people so they'd think they'd gone back to the start). In actuality the entrance and exit rooms would be right next to each other in the other, above and below. The portal rooms would be located in another age and spread far apart to prevent cheating by just digging to the other rooms.
There'd be a tell of course as to which portal was the right one. Whether it remains consistent however... Ie the fire to the right of a correct portal might be off as to direct you to it. When you get to the fourth room however it actuality swaps to the left one instead, taking the portal with the fire off to its right would just lead back to the entrance.
The use of portals and ages could also mean that I could indefinitely add in puzzle rooms of course. Though whether I can be bothered making any more (like an underwater maze with very little visibility/ fewer breathing areas as you progress) is probably a foregone conclusion right now. =)
Also, Warded Stone and Doors will be your friend (and pressure plates)- keep people from tunneling through it in fits of impotent rage. And Warded Pressure Plates can be set so they only activate for not-You people- so you could have a room covered in them that's perfectly safe for you, but gets flooded with arrows or turns on a level 5 angry zombie shard when anyone else tries to go through it. Or Ghasts. Those're always fun.
Actually, Warded Glass, aside from the edge runes, is pretty darn transparent. Might want to use that.
Automatically Appended Next Post: Huh. The Hunter's Handgun is part of the Reliquary Mod. Guns are Magic, apparently. There's even things like infinite magazines and such.
And apparently the reason the handgun is in the Reliquary mod is that the creator had been watching a lot of Hellsing at the time. I'm not complaining- it looks like a great mod, which I've long been meaning to get into.
I'm using micro blocks for the climbing puzzle. I found out last night that you can use even the smallest for climbing. ...Fun night. =)
Do micro blocks allow for mobs to spawn on top of them though?
Also, uh, what I've planned hasn't involved any modded items (bar micro/invisible blocks), so I may have to add in those things in hindsight. =/
Hmn, is there an item that forces people to drop their inventories and stores their stuff in a chest? Otherwise I'll just add a sign saying, "no cheating, leave your stuff at home".
Spoiler:
Thus far the only items you'd need to complete any of the rooms would be some eggs/any other droppable item, so as to navigate the invisible walkway room. Ie you just need to drop the item in front of you to see where the blocks are. Oh, and you naughty naughty cheater reading this.
Basic layout for the portal rooms. Basic as in without all the fancy modded decoration blocks, etc. I don't like the placement of the books for the portals, but as far as I can tell you need them (there's no micro blocks for crystals, so I can't really disguise them). Pity it has to be so bright, I had to stick a bunch of glowstone behind the glass as mobs were being spawned. At least its quick to make. =)
Yay, flans weapons mod is coming to yogscraft next update, if it's popular on that it'll be brought to the ultimate pack hopefully, that'll mean we get planes, guns and other amazing stuff!
I'll definitely be making an arena area, a 5 V 5 area with varietys of classes and gear like the spec ops forest gear and similar stuff from flans, and I'll make a bigger map with planes and cars. And I'll include special gear that you could get from special areas, maybe drop zones. The special stuff could be like tesla coils, night vision goggles, RPGs, CQB armour, more ammo, C4 and maybe very exclusive stuff, like invisible armour (but less armour points), blocks to build an artillery piece, jet boots, tesla staffs, heavy weapons, blocks to build a flame turret, explosive grenade launchers, it's a long list!
I'd rather see Balkon's Weapons Mod or some of the Wizardry mods (various ones with staffs, additional enchantments, etc) added first- and it's not just because of "Magic- hurr". Adding planes and mobile vehicle entities seems like a good way to overload an already intensive modpack, and things like C4 and artillery will be just another thing that'll need to be banned, disabled, or heavily regulated to prevent griefing- and even on a server like ours, where Griefing is heavily policed... Well, how many people use WMD-style weapons right now? TNT cannon? There's really not much call for heavy duty weapons except on dedicated PVP servers or if there's Super Mobs added, which would change the whole feel of the game- especially as things like Liches and Hydras are already defeatable in minutes with the current modpack stuff.

This...
I really don't like the sound of WW2 coming to the server.
Why on earth would we need a seperate age for PVP? Build an arena in the Mega-build age, or just walk for a while in the overworld. It's infinite- use the nether, walk for miles, pop out-one linking book later and you have a PVP area.
I doubt any PVP facilities would be widely used. One or two duels and they'd be forgotten. If there was a demand for PVP, someone would have already acted upon it.
4ourword, I think you might have missed my original post, I'm saying that flans will likely be added so I'm building a map about 2000m out from spawn at mining age to use the guns and vehicles as a PvP game. I agree, please don't have an age for it, it'd be a waste, and it means there'd be no point in making my map

Dark, just wondering if you could turn the gregtech recipes off? Its because I've asked around, and its a great deal of people who are actually affected by it negatively.
That's IF the mod goes in, which it probably won't
Remember YogCraft is a second party pack, and the FtB team only host the pack to be downloaded, they have nothing to do with the mods in the pack (from memory I think Ridgedog chose the mods in the YogCraft pack)

4 people = 5v5?
my imaginary friends would kick the crap out of your imaginary friends
I apologise. Since when does one (two if you count yourself) constitute a 5v5?
Also, who lives here? You're pretty close to my place, as in, closer than I would really like. I was going to expand out to that field, but hadn't claimed it formally- I though the huge factory that is visible even on a short render distance might have been a bit of a deterrent. Last time on the DW20 server, I was settled next to, and that really sucked.
I'm putting a bounty out on a safari ball containing a witch
you can pretty much name your price in non manufactured goods
also dark: I currenly have 400 buckets of lava in my storage area, and growing, do you want to connect it to the spawn area so you dont have to mess with it again or not?

So- Watching Dw's let's play. Some of the guys have a node that's got over 3000 (yep, thousand) Vis in it. And it's a Pure node.
They apparently got this with Node Bees.
Thing looks like a miniature sun, and I want that in the center of the Tower. Beemancers, I call upon you! Also, we're gonna need Crystal Clusters and possibly capacitors. A lot of them. Aqueus if possible.

That'd be me, sorry the vilage was like perfect conditions for what I wanted, I can push the wall closest to you right up to the village houses and i'll expand the village in the opposite direction. If that won't do I guess I can find another village, havn't been there for long.

Still need massive amounts of blue things- Xychromium especially, as I'm using that for the inner structure. Or Blue Alloy Blocks (I know, they're extremely expensive- gonna start mass-producing Silver soon with Transmutation, though- just need iron and seeds for it). Really wish there was a way to make Xychromium, or that Fortune/Treasure worked on the ores.
And I mean MASSIVE amounts. Like hundreds of chests worth. Like, on the scale of cobblestone consumption for the Grey Mesa.

That is circumstanstial at best. One of a variety of answers could be that someone picked that general area to place these words. If anything, it points to a conclusion that we are the target, seeing as you state that 'a lot of other similar words and style are around your base' whereas you only register a single one next to yours.
Please present some actual evidence before making claims.
Pretty much this.
Also, the swastika has never been labelled as 'art' except for your claim just now. I've done a forum search for 'art' in this forum and never has 'art' been mentioned in conjunction with the swastika except for your claim.
We are also not 'notorious for 'art''. This is a baseless claim and one you have entirely made up.
I dislike it when some one invites my privacy, writes something crude and the initial anger was because I thought it was the "harem" at first and I was very angry at there swastika, and then for them to do that! I was pissed off. I will only apologise for blaming the "harem" after it has been proven to not be them, also the member of the harem that lives closest to me and who owns the base in question has been silent about this incident.
The Dark Apostle wrote: nice! can I ask why the harem have been allowed to own an entire biome, the wasteland north of spawn.... theres a sign
I own two biomes. The Redwood Forest, and the plains biome( both of which are realitively small)
And I have thoroughly explored them. Though to be honest they are still filled with traps and land mines. (Creepers)
Who the he'll killed the ender dragon?!? I was hoping to help storm kill it, but when I went to the end to set up basecamp gues what boss wasn't there!
So who was it! Storm made it quite obvious that it was his goal! And then they steal it, knowing the majority of this server they went in with there Austin armour and ruined the challenge!
I believe it was matapata; he found the first ender portal. When corpses and me found the second one the ender dragon was already long gone, and dark can attest to that if you feel that, knowing the majority of this server, you are unable to believe us.
Hold on!
I think the ones you want are Clay. Stone are simply transport- they move materials from one inventory to another. Clay, I think, are the ones that keep a certain amount in certain inventories. I think.
lets make one and be sure, i'll try it out in creative, but IIRC I need a beacon to mark the donation chest too
besides that, donation area is up, I need whoever is using white-white-white (I think mata) to pick another color for ease of use
I also have a chest in there with 6 red-red-red (donation) chests to start
The ending plan would be to have people drop resources into red-red-red, they will be processed by manufactorum grundz and placed into white-white-white
things like coal -> diamonds, not nonsense like smelting, smelt your own stuff
things that dont need to be processed can be placed right in white-white-white, if you put something into red red red that doesn't match something to be processed or is already put into a barrel a golem knows how to deal with, it'll just go to my storage area, which means its gone, or will be incinerated into scrap
once we have golems and are running we can experiment with what works best, but in general red-red-red goes to me, if it isn't already in white-white-white (i'll maintain a list at spawn) by golems, just put it in white-white-white yourself
once I get enough invar to crank up lava production I will be working on limited public lava as long as netherrack supply holds up
wait what? I'm only using private chests to my knowledge (although I can't speak for price) I seem to be getting blamed a lot for mishaps, I'm not shrike you know...
Marker blocks are simple to make- four planks around a wool block (of any color- it corresponds to the color of marker block) and it gives you 2 markers. Matapata, I fixed your thaum setup- you were using Arcane Wood instead of marker blocks, and so your phial wielding tallow golem didn't know what to do and all your alembics were completely full. Couldn't find any Wither heads, though I did see your grinder, and I think your peat bog is broken (I didn't touch, just looked)- something about the water- maybe just put a valve below the Fabricator?
I Now have a setup for infinite dyes of almost any color (well, a plan- still need to build it) so I might have a public chest for that, though I'll need the Blue myself.
well I visited your sorting room and the chest is white white white
Automatically Appended Next Post: anvil: can you toss one of each color my way so I can dye my sheep farm?
I have the setup done but havent dyed all the sheep for the public wool
unless you're going to be absolutely rolling in dye and want everyone to dye it themselves
Righto then. Grundz, will do once I get it setup.
Mata- which building? Thought I explored them all- and the grinder seems to drop into CPTprice's enderchest (did a little exploring of your underground).
Dark- my wands keep disappearing. I put it in an iron chest in spawn when I went to visit Matapata's (in case his MFFS killed me again) then it either wasn't there or disappeared from my inventory between then and now (about noon EST) I crashed, or I'd search Mata's for it myself.

i've found when it gets laggy, stuff doesn't work, so i usually put things into a chest, close it, then re-open it to double check
Did double check, and I didn't use the thing in the meantime- it's a Wand of the Adept? (The middle tier non-elemental wand). And I don't think this is the first Wand that's disappeared on me- there may be a bug with them, I think.
The person/people who finds out a way to
1. Mass produce redstone
and/or (preferably both, if se can do one and not the other it doesn't matter)
2. Find a villager who trades emaralds for something fairly cheap and then gives him to the triarii
Will receive what I like to call a "triaretic artifect" a piece of equipment produced by a lord, super enchanted and named, (they will be handed out as gifts to those who help the triarii with important things) and an alliance with the triarii, which will pay off if you ever need assistance.
This White-White-White chest combo thing. I used that on the old server to save all my stuff but I made it private, however i also had a second chest in there which was white-white-white non private, could this be the culprit? To my knowledge there is nothing in there though.

white white white public has some ores and such in it and appears to be used by mata's quarry/sorting center
How anyone can support that and be against the original IC2 recipes is beyond me. But I haven't viewed the video yet, so I'll take a look with an open mind.
Corpsesarefun wrote: Seems a little unbalanced at the moment, essentially getting a diamond pick with one diamond and some paper...
Not really considering that it takes alot of materials to make a good pick. Lets for example examine the diamond pick that only requires 3 diamonds and two sticks.
In this. It requires 3 iron for 1 pick. All you are missing are the sticks. 3 obsidan = 1 pick etc. The harder the material, the more costlier it is. Like the new ore thats blue (Forgot its name) that costs 3, when you only get 1 per ore which is harder than any other material.
The only problem i see is with nether quartz which increases damage, which means i could do the following, 2 levels of nether quartz and 1 auto repair. Which makes the blade probably do 20-30 hearts of damage. Which means it is an instant killer.
These are not as OP as the Divine RPG mod, where the swords go up from 10 hearts to 195 hearts of damage.

And why is "molten obsidian" a thing in FTB? Surely that's just lava?
My HUGE issue with ftb is you can't pump 3/4ths of these liquids out of pipes
I wanted to have my manufactorum sitting on an island of filth and sewage, but NOOOOoOO the only new actual liquid is red water which is unaquirable.
Cheap pickaxes are not why I want this mod, ive got a repairing thallium pic that's enchanted a ton, the reason I want it is because it adds tons of various objects and weapons, and I'm happy to use IC2 now that gregtech is in this mod.

You'll need fire resistance armour to survive up there. Boots of the Traveller also help (ie you spend less time on the surface). When your health hits half way dig down three blocks, then forward two so as to keep out of the "sun", as it'll stop you burning.

chickens have to be the easiest thing in minecraft to farm. Seriously, if you have to beg for chickens then you must be really bad at this whole minecraft lark.
I wouldn't mind everyone giving me all of their diamonds either. I don't see that happening.
okay wool farm has white blue, light blue, red, pink black grey and light grey wool and is running
Downside is it turns out deployers wear on the tools inside so now I need to make an autocraft+deploy system shears that will keep this thing running
If you want a wool farm that works without iron, you could look into auto-filling Feeders and just make iJevin-style Cow Machines for each color of sheep- kill them for single blocks of wool once they've grown.
