Will the server be updating to the latest version without a world reset?

As I said when originally putting the server together, a world reset will almost definitely happen. I set this server up as a temporary one when the FTB Team hadn't communicated anything for weeks and the Unleashed server was empty.

Since starting this server, they've released three further "Beta" versions of Monster, although 1.0.9 still seems to be the "Recommended" Beta version for now. However, in the newer versions they've pushed ATG out and it is now disabled by default. They've changed world gen for Mariculture, Emasher Resource, Chisel and COFHcore (Thermal expansion). COFHcore in particular has had a "Complete Rework of World Gen". They've re-enabled all biomes in Biomes of Plenty and various other changes.

https://feedthebeast.atlassian.net/wiki/display/PML/Monster+1.0.11
https://feedthebeast.atlassian.net/wiki/display/PML/Monster+1.1.0

It's looking less and less likely that we'd be able to transition without a world reset - but I did say this was an almost certainty. When the final release version is available, I will see what's possible and try to see if the world can be upgraded without a reset - I won't just dismiss it, but there's several major changes to world gen that will make it considerably difficult.

At the very least, I'll be doing the Enderchest & Thaumcraft research transfer system that I did on the Direwolf20 temporary server we had before Ultimate. (Anything in private ender chests gets copied across - right-clicking on the lock of an Ender Chest with a diamond makes it private.)

Being able to bring stuff to the new server with us would be awesome, lets you get into building mode straight off.

Can you give us an enderchest for those of us that aren't very hi-tech right now, when you decide it's time to change up?

**Corpsesarefun**

Yeah I was looking at how much has changed since we started the server and strongly doubted that we'd be able to keep the same world. Research transfer would be really useful and that item shifting system will make everything go smoother so thank you for doing those again Dark.

It's just a pity my volcano can't come with us.

I'd similarly like that, I don't have the resources for an ender chest yet.

**darkinnit**

It could be weeks or even months yet. Unless one of you knows something I don't? I haven't heard any dates or even timelines from the FTB team.

**4oursword**

Nah, we're just all getting wound up by the fact that you mentioned the word reset, and now we're all going to dismantle everything and abandon the server en masse.

**Melissia**

Also Dark, since it's private enderchests, that means we can have more than one chestful by having multiple private colors?

Yeap. There's also the ability to put bags in Enderchests, and in some cases (depending on the mod), bags in bags in Enderchests, etc.

**Corpsesarefun**

Could I store items on ME drives then put those in chests?

**Ramos Asura**

Thats what im doin, so dont see why not

**Matt.Kingsley**

Well, no need to be worrying about it now seeming an update won't be for a while.

Of course, because I've said that the FTB team will release the full version tomorrow.

**Xeriapt**

Is there any way we can have flying allowed on the server?

I keep getting disconnected because im flying.

**4oursword**

Does anyone know of a way to create a redstone circuit which will be on for, say, 2 seconds, then off for 10 seconds in a loop, before turning on again? I could do with this redstone and I can't work it out.

You could use a computercraft block with something like this:

That loop will output the signal to the left side (your left side if you look at the computer's screen). If you add the script to the startup "program" on the computercraft block with shell.run("xyz") the loop will continue after a reboot of the minecraft server.

**4oursword**

That works really well. I'm not sure how to make that run on startup though- all the tutorials on it are contradictory.

Also, would it be easy, do you think, to change the While true do to: If redstone input = on, do

That would be pretty cool. It does work as is though.

Other people seem to be able to fly without getting kicked, how exactly are you doing it?

To start the script, e.g. myLoop, after every reboot (of the server or the computercraft block with ctrl-r) create the file startup and add the line

To control the loop from outside (pulsing signal only if the redstone input from the right is on) you could try:

The pullEvent method waits until a redstone event happens and then starts the inner loop that stops once the input from the right is off. The inner loop will run once including sleeping 12 seconds even if you switch the input during that time. To cancel in between the inner loop can be canceled with something like after checking the input and perhaps another os.pullEvent using both the timer and redstone event.

Awesome! LUA confuses me a fair bit, so thanks for the help.

Using the Air Sigil from blood magic.

**Ramos Asura**

I get kicked occasionally if I "fly" using my railgun for too long. Though Powersuit jetpack works without issue.

Also, for a timer you can just use the timer bit from Project Red. just like the old RP2 circuit pieces.

**4oursword**

The timer would be good but for the inability to have uneven on/offs.

Using the Air Sigil from blood magic.

Then the Air Sigil is buggy and isn't registering it's flight abilities correctly.

However, I'm nice and I've set allow-flight to true.

Use a couple of... what would you need... Nor gates?

Lesee... On for two, off for 10? Have a constant signal, that gets cut off (sticky piston with block of redstone would work easily, though you could probably use something else as well) when two timers 'intersect'- (or inverted, of course). Or, hmm..

Two second timer with a toggle switch connected to the output. And a ten second timer with a toggle...maybe..

Or, there's also a way to use basic repeaters to lengthen pulses, so you could possibly use just a really long redstone circuit.

Lol, thanks dark.

**GangstaMuffin24**

If someone has an abundance of Ender Pearls they'd like to trade (or knows where I could get my own) it would be greatly appreciated.

**matapata98**

use mimichite

**darkinnit**

I have an enderman spawner that kills them with quicksand here:
http://www.darkinnit.com/monstermap/?worldname=Monster&mapname=surface&zoom=7&x=-428.05946316889083&y=64&z=585.9758552264425

It runs off mob essence, but currently doesn't have any automation other than power. So what you can do is take an MFR syringe and a bucket, and hold right click to trade your own XP levels for mob essence and right click the spawner with the mob essence bucket to have it spawn Endermen.

I've recently installed a vacuum hopper there, so you might want to disable it (or break it) if you are going to use it, otherwise the pearls will get sucked into the logistics pipes network. If they do, you can probably find them in the iron chest nearest the open side of the building.

**Xeriapt**

I find using magic crops to grow ender pearls is a good way to go if you can automate it. Pretty sure at least a few others are going that route.

**GangstaMuffin24**

I tried going to crop route last night. It's interesting but still a bit too resource intensive for my current set-up.

I will check out your spawner though dark!

Thanks for the suggestions everyone.

**Xeriapt**

Yeah you do need quite a bit of the magic essence.
