sure, it was technically possible, but still expensive.

The new EnhancedPortals mod seems to allow travel in the same dimension. On this page, expand the "Mechanics" spoiler and then the "PortalNetworks" spoiler (also Items > Portal Modifier Upgrades > Advanced Dimensional):

Hmm it is a bit more expensive than I remember.
Still I might set one up later for easier travel to spawn. Try to save on the crashes a bit.

Also anyone interested in trading for potato portal guns? I'm looking for knowledge fragments and I just found a chest with two in it.

So my plan:

1. giant meat tower
2. ocean of sewage, redstone blood,, grasping hands and stuff around it
3. big warp portal nexus at its base?

Because it's releveant to our discussion of the 1.5 Modpack here, I'm crossposting that Minecraft 1.6 will be released on July 1st:
https://mojang.com/2013/06/minecraft-1-6-pre-release/

I like that there's sound support in the texture packs now.

Also volcano.

Ha ha. Huuuuuge volcano. Tiiiny lava.

I wish volcanoes were always that size and had rivers of lava!

Lava filled with more lava?

You have crafted an Artifact: Snoopcanaeus Grumkrakker. This block of lava is filled with the highest quality lava. It has bands of lava carved with scenes of lava flowing over lava. It menaces with spikes of goat leather.

ive got some cool ideas for a server transportation system using railcraft awsomesauce, it will be my first project on the new world when we have that up & running, (FTB ultimate is borked for me, somehow a ' got into the code where it shouldnt ave been and i dont know where FTB keeps its mod info to delete ultimate & reinstall)

It keeps the actual minecraft files in documents under FTB. The mod installation files themselves are found by typing %appdata% into run or whatever to get to Appdata/roaming/ftblauncher.

AH HA!!! there you are sneaky little FTB Ultimate mod- *nukes mod* should get ultimate back up later tonight

Edit: YES!!! ULTIMATE FEED THE BEAST IS BACK ONLINE!!!! MY RAILROAD SYSTEM IS ABLE TO ENTER PHASE 1!!!

(ps: dark, can i build a little train station at the spawn?)

If by "at", you mean just outside, then yeah, of course. You'd have trouble building one directly at spawn due to the spawn protection. But building just outside is fine, just try not to step on the toes of the people who also built things ridiculously close to spawn

I also have a rail line nearby spawn:

Not sure if that's on the same side as where you want to build your station.

I'm noticing a trend here.

I also say new server we ban books and make a giant rail system!

Forcing people to use one system over a perfectly acceptable alternative will only foster hate, no matter how awesome your favoured system is.

For an example, see Gregtech

I say keep books, portals, wraith nodes etc and build a giant rail system.

My thing is, I liked the original dakka server, creepers largely chased me off, but it was cool to go on adventures around and see all the other peoples stuff.
With the crazy ease of transport from portals and books, everyone is way, way far apart, which isn't as fun.

Once I get resource production up, what if we build a rail line and only provide public resources to private chests along the rail line to encourage people to build near it? Or maybe just push portals farther from the spawn/public machine shop so you are already used to using rails.
I'd just like to see more cooperation than me throwing resources at people and occassionally using eachothers machines

Trouble is in a modpack with so many mods, everyone wants to do something different or their own thing. Differing timezones also has an effect.

I'm not saying it's futile, just difficult.

Then again, look out, something wicked this way comes*:



If you don't know what it is, check the death message at the end.

*Note: server config options are available for controlling it...

Nice. I'd actually like the taint to come back, island dwelling solves it anyway.

Oh my.

Yeah. We're gonna be seeing a lot more fortresses popping up.

And maybe people will actually be more careful with their Flux production.

And also, something for people to do as a Server- and something to do as the Accords.


Nothing required, but I think, if Taint has returned, those of us who've spent time learning the Thaumcraft research ought to be willing to go all 'first response' to any Taint sightings- we should be able to nip it in the bud before it gets to the point where people are really complaining.

Or those who understand Computer Craft could possibly create a legion of Turtles to excise any Tainted areas- program them to build walls or dig around any Taint, to cut it off.

The taint mechanisms have changed though. Check the Thaumcraft page on the Minecraft forums.

Aww hell its Terraria all over again. 0.0

I think we should set up a Science vs Magic type thing: Scienceing the Taint away

can you turn the biome spread off?

 Melissia wrote:

I say you leave the biome spread on, but as per the thread its slower than it used to be and configurable.
So we configure it to 1/24th of its current rate, this lets it spread veeery slowly to make up for the server being up 24/7 but not completely nix it.

I'd be all in for this, we set spawn at 0,0 and everything east is science / west is magic or something?

Feth no. I sometimes end up being offline for days at a time, I don't want to have to worry about it spreading near my territory AT ALL.

What I meant was only use Scientology to remove the Taint, not divide the Server in two, but I do like the idea

From the sounds of it as long as you're not near a taint biome you have nothing to worry about. Also even though the server is on 24/7, the taint would only spread while the chunks were loaded as well, so unless someone set up a chunk loader at the border of the biome it would still be a very slow process.

I fully expect Grundz to do just that.
