Just Twilight Forest. Im ahead of what the server is running...

Scrath that, the mess about with the files thing worked on the new launcher

Im in.

Dark, im trying to create a Dynmap Sign to here to show that Ive claimed it, and I dont think the Sign Links are working properly...

Whelp. I've run into issues as well, finally. I'll load in fine, but none of my inventory loads (not even worn items), the world loads rather slowly for me, I can't Chat, and I cannot use portals.

Would be nice if someone actually told us HOW they fixed it...

Yeah I just logged on and it took a loooong time to download all the things too. Somethings making network traffic really slow (the TPS and server performance is fine), it's just taking longer than it should to send data back and forth. I've checked the server bandwidth and it's not maxed out, so I'm a bit befuddled what the issue is right now. However, it's late, so I'll investigate more thoroughly tomorrow.

Well whatever was going on, I somehow seem to have lost a bunch of stuff. I got warped to the Nether (outside the Nexus) and died- however, I still didn't have my things on me at the time. they seem to have just vanished.

I had three soul shards (Zombie at 36, Angry Zombie at 18 or so, and Spider at around 20, I think) as well as Wands of Excavation and Fire, both with Charge and at least Potency II- the Wand of Excavation had Treasure III on it as well.

Samething happened to me but i was spawned right in a cavern. If i did have my armor on, i would of died and lost all my items. It was weird.

Means I have to move now :/
Twilight forest here i come.

To whoever added a startup program to my turtle that makes it kill me: lol, confused me for a bit, I only realised you'd programmed it when it attacked me

Also, I had no troubles logging onto the server, unless you fixed the problem, Dark.

Check the original/first post of this thread. I say there that the signs don't work yet.

Backup any single player worlds first.

Find the Ultimate folder on your computer (you can find the path in the options on the first screen of the launcher).
Find the mods folder within the Ultimate folder. Something like Ultimate/minecraft/mods. I can't double check until I get home.
Delete TwilightForest-1.14.zip
Download TwilightForest 1.15-3 from the "Old Versions" section of the page here:
http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/561673-147-the-twilight-forest-v1154-tower-update-bug-fixes/
Put the zip file in the mods folder (don't extract it)
Start FTB and try connecting again?

If/when I find out what the issue is, I'll sort you out with an inventory reset.

Lol, hacking a turtle is genius.

aaannddd i'm done, FtB is so overly complicated its stupid. i am going back to Tekkit where i can easily make my mega builds.

Its not that complicated, focus on a mod or two and its pretty simple.

Thermal Expansion is a good one to get into I find.

Could dakka dakka recommend an alternative to my generator, I've used a geothermal generator for a bit but it seems idlers at power-producing. I've got a wind mill but my base is in the mining world so there seems tp be no wind. Any body got any ideas?

Solar?

I use geo myself, seems to work well.

Redpower windmills work based on height and surrounding objects. If you have it at ground level, you'll not get much. Put it way up high and make sure there's no structures around it at that height and you'll fare much better.

I think IC2 windmills are similar but I could be wrong.

is there wind in the mining world, my IC2 wind turbine was getting nothing

IC2's wind power is odd, to say the least- can't really have the turbine blocks near each other, because they block their own generation- the wiring also 'blocks' wind. They require a certain height, and a certain distance away from things...


I suppose the Accords might be able to Flux the weather into storms in the Mining age, though that might not be the best idea.

Wind doesn't really exist in Minecraft- both mods added their own randomiser, using a few of the same mechanics, ie. storms and the like.

For IC2 turbines to work well in any sort of way, they need to be at about Y: 100 or over, and have 9 blocks of empty space above them and to the side of them, along with 7 blocks below them. The best way of installing a turbine is to have cable coming at least 2 blocks down from them before turning any corners, and then going at least 9 blocks to the side before placing another turbine (make sure you have the two blocks of cable feeding into the bottom of it as you did with your other one).

That should mean you have a set up like this:
W__________W
|___________|
|___________|
- - - - - - - - - - -
______|
______|
______| | Down to a batbox/MFE/MFSU. W = windmill; | & - equal cable; _ equals spacing to make sure the diagram works properly.
_______\/

It's usually best to use low-voltage tin cables for windmills since they generate so little power anyway and the distance they can go before losing packets is sufficiently long to support several mills provided you aren't trying to stick a mill up at Y:120 to power a machine at Y:20; it's usually not worth it to waste fibre here.

SO, after all this fussing about with tin cable and windmills, you should finally have a steady income of EU which will power a macerator for about ten seconds on a good day, and brings you around to the fact that trying for solar panels from the outset would've been a far better investment of time, resources and effort.

I've set up a diesel generator and am regulary thieving from the biofuel at spawn for a ton of EU

Nah, man. Water Mill Power Tower.

We now have a blast furnace at spawn!

The railcraft version, not the GregTech one.

Currently it's being powered by charcoal, haven't made a coke oven yet...

Does alumentium work?

Don't think so, it only accepts coke and charcoal afaik

Of people need more advanced machines they can come round to the CCC in the mining world

Yeah, I'd rather the spawn machine room was kept simple as a starter area - no crazy uber machine room.

A crazy uber shared machine room is a good idea, just not at spawn. Maybe in one of the other ages, so that if it does cause any kind of lag, we can tell what the cause is more easily.

However, I'd recommend against building permanent things in the mining age - it's intended as a delete and renew age (although it'll only really happen when it's either depleted or there's some major ore generation change).

Perhaps the Mega-build age would be suitable for a crazy machine room - no creepers. Or the skylands - less terrain to load (but more difficult to build without dropping items or falling into the void).

The sky age would handle any item overflow though. Just stick a pipe outside.

Dark, if you do ever reset the mining world I'm guessing you couldn't bring my place over using admin powers?

No. Don't build permanent structures there.

If you're going Tech, there might be ways to Blueprint structures and have them automatically rebuilt. Frames, maybe? I know there was soemthing like that included in Tekkit.

might work, but I intend to make quite a massive factory, about half a chunk
