Yeah, Dartcraft is included if the "No GregTech" route is taken.

ThaumicTinkerer looks interesting.

I cant find any real info on it =?

**zman111**

Im liking the proposed/new modpack, its got my big 2 atm (railcraft & thermal expansion)

**The Dark Apostle**

What's thaumic tinkerer, and no ars magica and tinkers construct

**4oursword**

Dartcraft is an odd one which I probably will not bother with. Overuse of the same terms is annoying.

**The Dark Apostle**

Oh just looked at it and it seems very good!

What does dartcraft

**darkinnit**

TinkersConstruct is there.

ThaumicTinkerer is unrelated to TinkersConstruct, but more info here (click the Spoiler on the page):

DartCraft has terrible looking ore, but has interesting mechanics, including a levelling system like Ars Magicka and some control over selecting Enchantments, also Endertots:

Ars Magicka is still very unlikely to be in any main packs due to how it unbalances the packs.

**Melissia**

Dartcraft needs a more creative writer for it. Everything is "Force Noun" or "Power Noun" lol

**zman111**

Might tolerate dartcraft for bag, thats about it tho

**cptprice0330**

i would rather wait till 1.6, also the new mystcraft may break linkbooks, as it is presumably harder to disable the disarm function .
a world reset should be fun , new mods etc to play with .
also thoughts on a void age ?

**Melissia**

I think the Sky Age works just fine for a pseudo-Void Age.

I did see that about the Mystcraft inkwell, but if disarm cannot be disabled in the config on its own and I have to disable the inkwell, I'll probably set up a tradestation for books (or those bookplate things) for the new unlinked linking books.

As for the void age, like I said, I think people had little interest in it last time I asked. If there is interest now, I wouldn't have a problem adding it...

Which mod adds the Cold Chickens? Don't understand those.

Never heard of them. Where did you hear about/see them? Got any more context than "cold chickens"?

**4oursword**

In the No Gregtech test pack, there's a spawn egg for Cold Chicken. Less feathers, laying an egg instantly on spawning.

**darkinnit**

Ah that's what is left behind when you use DartCraft's Force Shears on a Chicken to get feathers. Also works on Cows for leather:

**Anvildude**

I think the idea of a Wasteland Age would be nice- maybe use that as the Mobless age? (I think there's modifiers for no mob ages?) Use the Wasteland or Red Rock biome, nasty red sky, black clouds, filfy water...

**darkinnit**

I don't think there are modifiers for no mob ages, that's why the current one had to be Mooshroom biome.

**Grundz**

here's an interesting question, can you delete ages?

I'm just curious, maybe you could allow age creation, but have ages beyond the ones /you/ made get deleted every day, or week, or something.

**Optio**

Im all for waiting for a stable 1.6 more mods that will hopefully be more stable - no gregtech and a chance to finish our current projects for those who are not quite so quick of the gun getting started

**Melissia**

I'm okay either way. Ideally I'd suggest waiting until 1.6 and using the gregtech version, but I imagine I'll be outvoted on that.

Ages can be deleted, but age creation is quite the lagfest, so I'm unwilling to hand the reins over to you lot

Especially if an age time limit encourages you to go running all over generating chunks before it is deleted.

Well I was thinking, the mining age is for strip mining, but increasing ore spawns on say, the sky/cave age, so that people that want to adventure around for their ores can, would be fun.

What was the issue with the cave age's sky being dangerous? I thought it was a neat mechanic

The Twilight Forest kind of provides that aspect of the loot heavy dimension. Mining in the sky age wouldn't be very viable due to the small size of the islands and the fractured mess it would leave. The Cave age is already good for ores without increasing them as the world height is twice as high.

There was no problem with the cave age sky being dangerous (I made it like that intentionally). The issue was with people using GraviSuits to ignore the effects and then running around on the surface grabbing all the loot from Thaumcraft barrows, meanwhile lagging the server to death as it struggled to generate all the caves below the surface.

Next time I'll make the Cave age a Tundra/Desert or some biome that doesn't generate loot structures (maybe Wasteland depending on what's going on with the biome mods - rumours are that biome mods will be disabled, but it may be possible to use Mystcraft to have the biomes without adding them to the overworld).

**Grundz**

ah that makes sense, you know I could have just pumped LAVA over the ENTIRE CAVE AGE

**darkinnit**

I'm pretty sure GraviSuits still would have negated it's effects

Lava filled with more lava?

**Melissia**

Now now, there's no need to be caught up in dwarf fort logic.

**Leigen_Zero**

I don't usually say much on the runnings of the server (mainly because I don't consider myself a dedicated enough player to have an opinion worth voicing).

Not bothered about the world reset, built myself into a corner and couldn't really come up with a design I liked, so restarting the pub (for the 3rd time) isn't too much of a problem.

As for ages, whether it's done via void ages or no, I would like to see a less ad-hoc nexus, or at least a away to jump around the overworld without needing to go through a few ages beforehand...

**Melissia**

That would require Portals or teleporters, and the latter is very expensive.`

**SagesStone**

Really it was already possible, everyone was just too lazy and stayed with the books.
