Any claims on this island yet?
http://www.darkinnit.com/ftbmap/?worldname=FTB&mapname=surface&zoom=4&x=-252.54230182624258&y=64&z=-1817.369608592072

I'd like to try to get the whole thing if no one has yet.

Forge Lexicon? What's that and how does one use it?

The Lead has a little Pb under it, its elemental symbol. None of the other metals have theirs, and it's a different color.

I Pulverize all my ores, for those chances of Rarities (gold, silver, extra copper or lead or iron)- it's possible this is what's causing the issue.

I was planning on building a massive tree there. But eh. You can have it
Just stay away from this area

I claimed this as I need space and I really like being alone.

I have diamonds and an ore magnet for anyone that wants one.

I just need to get my pick axe that i lost to a misclick :(

Anyway. I will be building my mansion and hopefully building it with warded blocks so I can't possibly be griefed. already have my storage unit up and running. (And etomb your ender chest is at my house I plan on storing it till you come back.)

Also If anyone needs it, i have an entire stack of ironwood, steel leaf, and an entire stack of emeralds XD
This is what happens when you face the Lich on several occassions. I plan on building an EXP farm for spawn, I have a zombie spawner that is nearing level 3 and a level 3 skele spawner, (i find alot of monster spawners) I plan on getting a level 5 blaze and a level 5 endermen spawner. because there are a quite a few at the Hollow Hills. WHICH ARE REALLY DIFFICULT. (They are more difficult than all the bosses i've faced, because there are sooo many mobs, there are 15 monster spawners in the large hollow hills. I am currently in a medium sized one. And there is a ton of diamond there too, so now I have a half stack of diamonds, (1 stack) transformation powder, naga scales, ore magnets, quartz (a ton of it plan on making a pulvizer and then building an automatic generator)

I currently also own a lich tower and plan on facing a hydra. I might need dakka's help on this as this creature i faced by myself and i needed several items in order to kill it. Which took me a week to get.

Don't worry, I plan to stay solely on the island. I'd put some basic things down to mark it, but I'm fighting a bit of a headache so won't be on to do so today.

I got a skele spawner I've set up as a basic Grinder- you can use that to boost your shards- but don't take the spawner itself, please- kill the skeletons that come out of it instead.

Also, the server's not even a day old, and you're already planning boss fights? Geeze. Spend some time building things, whydoncha?

To be fair, it's not just what the law said, it's also this bit: "This led to an opposition campaign by Hindu groups across Europe against a ban on the swastika. They pointed out that the swastika has been around for 5,000 years as a symbol of peace."

Not only has it been around for 5,000 as a peace symbol, it's also been around for thousands of years in lots of cultures and religions all over the world; not just the Middle East or non-Western.

The adoption of it by an evil dictatorship has stigmatised it, but several years of use by one questionable group can hardly erase thousands of years of use before it.

If I erected a giant cross would I be condemned for advocating paedophilia based off the questionable actions of some members of the Christian faith, or advocating the Crusades, or advocating the denounciation of homosexuals? No, because that's utterly stupid.

What if I built things bearing Islamic iconography? Would I be advocating the actions of radical extremist groups? No, because that's utterly stupid.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying we should keep the swastika, but what I am saying is that by attacking it based on the actions of one group, we are ignoring its entire history - history that completely and utterly seperated it from the depraved actions of those who took it as their icon.

EDIT: I also feel we're dragging the thread off topic. How about we drop the whole "remove it" and move on to trying to compromise. As 4 said, it could be developed into something cool, so if doing that instead of bulldozing it - as some people want to happen - is the best way forward, then think up ideas.

As long as it ain't on fire. You could make it larger and build it so that it is complex but you have to look at it in order to know if it is a nazi symbol. There are also 4 dots and it is not diagonal all straight lines
This is the symbol of peace. Which I recognize.



This is a symbol of evil

If you took the time to actually visit the clubhouse you would see that it isn't diagonal (indeed it is build with lines facing in cardinal directions) and has a distinct lack of eagle...

Admittedly we are missing the little dots but all in all I'd be inclined to say that our construction is far closer to the first image than the second.

Hmmm... Even Iron Blocks aren't working right. Somethings borked.

Also StormWarriors (Asherian Command) you seem like you're on a major quest to be the "First" to do stuff. That's all fine, it's not a competition, but maybe just take a step back from time to time and research what you're trying to do before you do it. On numerous occasions you've made rather "panic" like posts here and messages in-game because you didn't understand something you were trying to do. Relax, disconnect if necessary and Google.

Of course if you prefer the whole "panic mode" thing you've got going on, then carry on.

Most "block" (Iron, Gold, Diamond, Lapiz, Glowstone) recipes are changed by Gregtech to: Compress 9 ingots in a compressor to craft a block. Smelt or macerate a block to uncraft. If you're making blocks for storage, it's probably better to just use barrels or any of the other storage methods provided by other mods. If you're making blocks for decoration, then it's time to make those machines to automate block crafting. Luckily the compressor recipe is quite cheap.

RRg. No MACHINES. only MAJICKS.

Guess I better get on that highway to spawn, then.

Grr for Gregtech here. Didn't realize it changed vanilla recipes!

It's especially odd because some materials, like silver, aren't affected.

And the Lexicanum isn't working. Says that Tin Block to Tin Block conversion is disabled, and won't work for anything else- does it only work for ingots?

Edit - Silly Question which was answered for me about 2 minutes after asking it.

I Don't freak out That much. Well yes I do now that I think about. And yes I will carry on. Also I am a meta gamer, so i always go for the throat. And firsts are rare for me , I also love freaking out because it gets rid of all my anger issues inside of a video game. ITs theraputic to kill hundreds of people in the name of me.

Plus I only swear. Only when i screw up Just a personality flaw....

Hey Dark, the Server is telling me I cant connect because I havent got Twilight Forset 1.15.3, but when Ive checked client-side, its on 1.15.4...

Any idea what this is all about?

Are you trying to connect with the correct modpack? I see the Direwolf20 pack is on Twilight 1.15.4 now....

Im sure im on Ultimate, as thats what is in the top corner of the home screen...

unless Ultimate = Direwolf...

If any of you want to earn a couple of diamonds, then I need a linking book back to any of the nexus's. It needs to be placed in an ender chest,so I can access it- I'm literally 10 KM from spawn, and walking back over aaaaaaall that ocean doesn't really appeal to me. If you're up for it, then we can negotiate a reward. I am a generous man, for the leather and paper it will cost you, you could make a huge profit.

I have no idea why I trekked out so far, but I did and while I am capable of surviving in this endless ocean for years if needs be, it's very depressing scenery. I think I'll find a nice plains biome somewhere nearer to spawn.

Dark, I downloaded the recommended version of ulitmate, and now it is saying I am missing the twilight forest mod, any ideas?

Seems lit enough to keep mob spawns outside the fenced area and the fences prevent monsters coming in with the exception of spiders.

Mars doesn't have much to offer atm but if you're passing through and need a safe place for the night it should hold you over.

i have already visited your little town, i am setting up shop in the wasteland to the south of you.

Well Howdy neighbor.

Having the twilight forest issue too.

is the server not on the latest version or something?

I discovered a potential problem, one of my soul shards the (skeleton one) got lost right before the restart, i dropped and i logged back in and it was gone. (I was working on my mob grinder, a proto type) the soul shard which was a level 4 was lost :(
Which makes me sad i spent time on that, So many destroyed skeleton spawners that were a pain in the arse to get to. I was wondering if i could get one or am I out of luck?
It seems to be a bug the transposers seemed to start taking the soul shard but it got lost right in the middle of transportation.

It could be in the internal buffer of a transposer. But if it's in a sorting machinne, which it sounds like, you'd have timers powering the transposers so I doubt that'd be it. Sometimes timers thatt are too high cause problems for machines like that.

I think what's happening is that you guys have downloaded an update. Ive been prompted to download an update since I got on the server and I've declined each and everytime, I'm still able to go on. So dark have you either updated the server or not updated the server without telling us?

Everyone say happy birthday to Avatar :3

Um, Happy Birthday Av?

There, said it

Also, if anyone is will to offer me some Xychordite (preferably blue, but any will do) could we strike a trade? Maybe 1 blaze rod for every 16-32 xychordite, or maybe more or some other resource? Contact me if you are interested!

Also, anyone know of a slimechunk/swamp near the spawn? I've realised I need some railcraft stuff to help me on my IC2 (with addons) & Applied energistcs journey (I require steel and steam power)

Also, I added a rolling machine to the spawn workshop, feel free to move it if it's in the way

Those of you having trouble with Twilight Forest versioning, can you check which version number of Ultimate you are using? It should be 1.0.1. There is no other update.

If you played the Ultimate Beta before Ultimate was released, it might be that you're accidentally launching the beta instead of the released Ultimate pack. If you do this it will show Ultimate 0.1.3 in the title bar. Make sure to select the correct Ultimate from the launcher. If you find the Feed the beast options text file on your computer you can delete the ultimate private pack setting to remove the Beta from the list.

Also look at this from the logs:
2013-03-12 20:45:53 [INFO] User Spivey66 connection failed: missing [], bad versions [TwilightForest]

If Spivey66 figured out what they were doing wrong in less than 15 minutes, I'm sure you can too

As 4oursword has suggested, break all your transposers and also check the output paths (and break any filters along the way) and chests that it feeds into. Also the warning about the server restart is there to warn you not to throw precious things on the ground...

It's GregTech lead. Any substance with it's elemental symbol under it is from GregTech, currently.

When I was on last night I saw the "Lead pb" could be used for Factorisation and Thermal Expansion machines, but I didn't keep going through all the recipes because those are the only things I use lead for...

IC2 metal dusts seem to have elemental symbols too.

It's kind of annoying. I have a bunch of aluminium ore, I smelt it so I can make water mills. It's not the right type.

Try the Forge Lexicon mentioned earlier. I think it only works for ingots, but I've not tried it yet as I've not had these problems yet (I'm sure I will eventually though!)
