Have you covered up your death pit yet like I asked you to?

What death pit? The one in vanilla MC? If you look at it and don't listen to wyrms claims you'll find it's not (and never was) a death pit and is a stairs leading underground that too large to miss and excitement to the next level causing you to lose 3 hearts without any armour.

I did look at it and I told you to cover it up. You said you would. Cover it up. Final warning.

Ah how nice of them to sneak that out on a Tuesday with no warning, when normally they hype up a release and release it on a Monday.

As I hadn't heard anything on Monday I assumed I had another week to get things ready. Woohoo.

OK, so, no ETAs from me yet, so don't ask or I may just set your spawn (and respawn) point to be a distant point in the nether

Your demands have been met.

Here's another teaser while I work on stuff (still not giving ETAs)

The buttons actually open the trapdoor, so it kind of looks like he's quacking. However, it is just inside the spawn protected area, so I don't think non-opped players can press the buttons.

Demand always kills their servers as soon as a pack is released. Give it an hour or two.

Oh okay. So Server going up on Thursday at the earliest?

I'm going to reserve a "special" spot in the nether just for you.

I've been too busy working on re-creating all the ages and then setting up the new Nexus:


There won't be a Mystcraft Sky age this time around. However, Biomes o Plenty adds The Promised Lands, you just have to work to unlock it first...

If Reliquary is now enabled by default I won't disable it. (To be fair it was a bit odd that Reliquary was disabled for being abuseable, and then Dartcraft was included, which is sooo much more abuseable).

As for Hats, I'll take a look. They look fun, but some of the huge hats could get very annoying if people spammed them.

 Wyrmalla wrote:
So do the Promised Lands spawn above ground level (like Terraria) or... ?

It's an entire dimension like the Twilight Forest.

 Wyrmalla wrote:
Ah, like the Aether. However is that custom grass or just vanilla? ...The Aether had custom blocks. ...Aether.

So why are you including that particular age? Because it doesn't look so broken as the Sky Age did? Is there a practical reason for it I mean, like for instance people using it as a communal portal location?

It's perma-day, has custom grass, trees etc and a few things you can't get anywhere else (amethyst) as well as some nice treats (that fancy spring water that heals you). Plus it looks damn cool:

woohoo installing ultimate as we speak, I accidentally installed unhinged earlier :(

It's Unleashed you want

Anyway, Twilight Forest could be interesting with hats...

Getting a Netherwart farm going early is good. The netherwart has the flux/chaos symbol on it IIRC, so it's good for researching all the items you need for flux control.

Once you've got your goggles, four arcane alembics on your cauldron and are avoiding overusing aspects, you can then just explore the Thaumonominom and have fun with what you find.

 4oursword wrote:
So Reliquary is back in, along with that weird hat mod?

Reliquary is in, yeah.

I will probably add the hats mod in (and the hat stands) because if you get sick of it, you can set "renderhats=0" in your config, and others can still enjoy it without bothering you.

 Asherian Command wrote:
But i Wuv hats

Then you can leave them enabled.

That's the main reason I'll add them in, they're don't change the game in any way and they're configurable at the client end. So hat connoisseurs can have all the fun they want, and anyone who considers it nonsense can hide them.

so dark do we have an official eta , or am i going to the nether for asking this ? Also can i ask are we having powerconverters?

You're going to the nether I'll give an ETA when I have one. It will probably be ready at some point in the next few days, but that's all you'll get for now.

Powerconverters will stay disabled. They've disabled it due to some ability to effectively get infinite free power. Yes the ratios can be adjusted in the config, but if it were that simple, they would have done that and included it.

There are a lot less EU powered machines now that Gregtech is gone. For those that remain, there are ways of converting power that aren't messy. Also, solar panels are a lot cheaper this time around. Free power anyway :-p

I'm now rather sad about the removal of Redpower as I now have to reinvent how I"ll do my infinte cobblestone generator.

You know there's a single block, that generates infinite cobble, requires no power to run, requires no resources to run, doesn't generate any lag and can output cobble into the pipe or inventory system of your choice, right?
http://thermalexpansion.wikispaces.com/Igneous+Extruder

These are so good that I actually recommend people void all cobble from quarries at the actual quarry location (rather than teleporting it across dimensions and then voiding or storing it).

Hmm, Reliquary is enabled on the client by default but disabled on the server by default....

Decisions decisions.

Eh, I'll just enable it, easier than having you all disable it, and like I said, Dart Craft adds a bunch of much sillier overpowered things.

If I recall correctly the Tekkit Enderdragon was mining lasered to death and I can't assume Matapata took it easy on the FTB Ultimate enderdragon.

If you don't want people to use flight suits to steal the goodies from Twilight, you'd be better playing it single player where it will definitely remain untainted. I really don't have the capability or the time to patrol the Twilight Forest stopping people

Progress report.

Found a bug with the Trade Station (crashes the server), so unlinked linking books will be free because the forestry trade station is silly and over complicated and I'm not adding the vending mod.

I've generated a nice chunk of world from -2000,-2000 to 2000,2000 so you don't all lag the server going exploring (and then complain because it's laggy). I'm going to do the same for Twilight tomorrow (but maybe not as large an area), as that seems to be popular for exploration and also intensive to generate.

I also have to unlock and check the promised land works before "locking" it again for you lot to find and unlock. (It was working fine on a previous release, but best to double check).

Then there's server-y stuff to do, (set up backups etc), get the map installed and configured and working etc, but most of that can be copied from Ultimate.

As long as things go smoothly (and I don't have to attend to any real world tasks ), it could be ready by early Friday evening GMT. Maybe. No promises. I'm still maintaining the nether rule

Oh my.

Anyway, looks like there'll be another Unleashed update at some point today to fix ID conflicts with the two different versions of MFFS. You'd think they'd have thought "hey, we're adding two versions of a mod, maybe we should check for ID conflicts?" or at least, "hey we've just added three new mods to the pack, shall we keep it in Beta for a little longer?" but oh well, it's all free goodies anyway.

Also, for those who want to start on bees and are wondering which BoP biomes to choose or avoid, check this out:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AsGa0I6QpwLgdDV4Y2VLak4xMkhRTkRMeko1OG5ETFE#gid=0

Looks good, but note those Redpower lamps aren't available, so it would have to be glowstone or the illuminators I linked earlier.

If you're having crashing problems with Unleashed and you just went and enabled all mods, try disabling death timer and vending again, as death timer crashes on world creation and vending crashes in creative mode. Fun.

Yeah but Vanilla Nether Quartz is in 1.5, so close enough.

Sorry, Lamarr knocked a cable from the teleporter again.

Because teleporters. Anyway, in case the Lamarr reference went over your head (ha ha!), Link

So the Ultimate server is now down for good :( I'll make the world available for download at some point, but may have to break it up by dimension (some of you went a bit powersuit happy generating chunks...)
The map has moved to http://www.darkinnit.com/oldftbmap/

Now, fun things are happening at:
http://www.darkinnit.com/ftbmap/

Hurrah, 90% of the blocks I built spawn with are invisible on the map! Yeay!

As with the previous map, you can't claim things just by pointing them out on the map, you have to wait till the server is available and you have actually gone there in game.

Ramos Asura wrote:Amazing.... So many biomes just begging to be explored (and plundered)

Thanks for all your hard work, dark. Cant wait to get rolling on this world!

You're very welcome! I've certainly put a lot more effort into the spawn area this time around, (mainly thanks to how long it took them to get a release ready).

Wyrmalla wrote:What are those white blocks all over the place like at; 300, 500?

Natura clouds. Can't find a wiki link, but they spawn above the vanilla clouds, are actual blocks, and you can stand "in" them. You can mine them and place them and they cushion any fall similar to how water does. There are also ash and sulfur clouds in the nether which have some use in crafting recipes I think.

Extra Utilities has the rain muffler block if you want to live in a biome of your choice without worrying about rain noise:

In preparation for the server going live this evening (and before you're all too eager to play than to read something), please read the list of bugs in the first post here, so you know to avoid them:
http://forum.feed-the-beast.com/threads/ftb-unleashed-modpack-bug-reports.26729/

Most of the bugs only hurt yourself (like losing resources). However, a couple of the crash ones (like putting spring water or poison water in a tank) can leave the server in a state where it needs to be MCedited to fix it. So please don't do it. To do it from ignorance/accident is one thing, but if I find someone doing it on purpose, they will be banned.
