Just discovered that portal radios duplicate when you brake them - I will send the duplicates to a fiery death.

I have tamed the power of the sun aka we have survived the first nuclear fusion plasma beam test:


All that's left now are neutron absorbers, cooling, steam turbines and generators, all of them huge multi-block structures and of course build some kind of decorative and functional shell.

Edit: First high pressure turbine running at 8.6 GW. That's about 1.5 million RF per tick, yay

The Nexus Computercraft labels aren't working.

I'm placed NuclearControl Panels over them. I think they look better. If you all hate it, just take it down.

Spoiler:

I think it looks great! I wasn't aware those panels could have font size and colour changes. Everyone I've seen using them usually has them set at the same small font size in a dull industrial greenish colour. Looks like I'll probably use them from now on if they're more reliable.

The Computercraft bug "computers sometimes don't initialise after reloading chunks" is apparently fixed for Minecraft 1.7, but we'll have to wait for that.

On the 1.0.9 server i have used two computers to watch over and if need be to reset each other as a workaround.

Sorry, Darkinnit and Ramos, I wasn't ignoring you, my connection just conked out!

I'm trapped in the mining age, is it possible that I could get my position set to Spawn?

Trapped as in, glitch-trapped, or just in-need-of-rescue trapped? Because I'm sure someone would come help if you had too.

Yeah I was about to ask the same thing. There's both a Nexus portal and a star fissure that returns you to spawn.

I think it was just my connection. It seems to be good now and I'm out of there. Thanks though

Okay for the life of me I can't figure out what's going on here. For some reason, when I start FtB, it doesn't show up in my list of applications. No bar, window, nothing in the task manager, nada. But I can see that it's started up a Javaw process. It'll start a Javaw process every time I run the program (admin, double click, right-click and open, pretty much every way possible to run it). And occasionally, it'll bring up the window and the launcher and start. But most times, not. And so I have to manually stop the javaw processes one at a time.

Also, when it does show up, it says something like "There may be problems since you're installed in a "User" file." Basically saying I shouldn't have the Monster files installed in Documents, but rather under Program Files, I think.

Anyways- wtf is going on and how do I fix it? I can't reliably get into ftb!

Or is it just going suuuper slow?

I've always had FTB running from my user folder. Is that exactly what the error says? I heard they added warning messages for "suboptimal" configurations, but I've not seen one yet.

I wouldn't jump to the conclusion to put it in the Program Files directory because then it would need admin rights to save anything.

Check your Java is up-to-date for version 7 (some people have reported problems jumping to version 8 for the current modpacks). Make sure you have 64-bit Java. Try deleting the whole FTB folder (backup any single player worlds first). Try changing the install directory (but I would still keep it somewhere in your user profile - just avoid places like Downloads and Temporary Files).

The launcher itself should load relatively quickly, but may have issues if it can't contact the FTB servers to download the modpack lists. Make sure any anti-virus or firewall software isn't messing with it. You may have to set an exception for the FTB install directory.

The Monster modpack does take sometime to load (if you've gotten into the launcher). Especially if you don't have a high-powered computer. There are a lot of mods in this pack.

Nah, see, that's the thing. It's the launcher that isn't loading.

I'll look at the Java thing. That's annoying, if that's what it is.

As a curiosity, has AE Spatial Storage been disabled? I can't find the recipes or anything regarding how to build pylons.

By the way, Gas, I've been getting those inventory problems you used to be getting. Apparently, they're caused by EnhancedPortals causing a desync in your inventory only.

Thread: https://github.com/ShadedDimension/enhanced-portals/issues/76

The EnhancedPortals changelog states that the sync issue is fixed in v3.0.0b5d and again in v3.0.0b5e
http://shadeddimensions.co.uk/enhancedportals-3/changelog/

The current version of Monster that we're running uses EnhancedPortals v3.0.0b5c
https://feedthebeast.atlassian.net/wiki/display/PML/Monster+1.1.2

So yeah. Desync problems apparently occur even if an Enhanced Portal opens up is is used *NEAR* you. Personally, I was able to trigger and replicate this bug constantly and reliably using the portal in my base. If I can get a second confirmation on this, I may request people on the server to not use EnhancedPortals at all; it seems to bug out Gaskan, myself, and likely others.

The bug seems to go away after logging out and then back in. It'll come back if a portal is opened near you.

has the spatial storage even been implemented in the version we're on yet?


And bummer on the portals... At least we know the cause now. Fast fix of log off log on, so its not horrible.

Spatial Storage cells exist. An we're running the latest version. Upon further research, it seems the pylons and such that are necessary for Spatial Storage are usually for developer and beta builds of AE.

Gas, I need your help replicating the bug considering you were affected too. If anything, it's not too big of a deal considering the Nexus exists.

I've been out for awhile, but I know that there was the Minium Stone when EE3 was still in. Is there an equivalent to the Minium Stone still in the modpack?

Nope. The Tome of Alkhest is somewhat close in that you can 'melt' things down into redstone or replicate them with redstone.

Honestly though, the Minium/Philosopher's stone, I think, was probably the 'weakest' part of Equivalent Exchange. I think there should have been more focus on things like the various amulets, and icons- the Gem of Eternal Density was a nice one, as was the Vulcanite amulet.

Hm, wasn't aware that endermen kept on walking in the day
to my detriment.

EDIT:

What would be the best starting machines/tinkery.

Iv had that happen also, I tried run as admin and it seemed to start up fine tho.

Yeah, they've always been disabled by default. It's a shame because they work fine for vanilla materials. I even looked into enabling them for the server migration, so that people could take their entire base with them if they had the power and materials to do so. However, the whole thing breaks as soon as complex tile entities, various mods and multiblock structures get involved. Far too much stuff in Minecraft just isn't designed to be moved. Maybe the 1.7 Applied Energistics 2 will be better at it.

This is very interesting. I'd be happy to upgrade the version of Enhanced Portals on the server if it didn't mean everyone joining also had to download and upgrade their version too. It kind of defeats the purpose of a modpack (i.e. just select it and go). Hopefully the FTB team will find time to give Monster some love at some point. Of course, if you all find this problem to be so infuriating that every one of you is happy to upgrade the mod on your own computer, I'd be happy to upgrade the version on the server. I just don't want to play Tech Support for people who don't know where to find the folder etc. For now it seems the "Log off and on to fix it" is the better solution.

Okay, binged on ME3 a bit... now to get to work on FtB.

How do I transfer stuff over to the new server, aside from (blah) in my inventory?

I have both of the servers added to my list, I just don't want to have to make a second copy or continually re-download things.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Also I can't seem to log on to the old FtB. Says I'm missing some items, but I should have the mods activated properly... which mods should be activated and what version is that particular pack?

Old FTB and new server are both running 1.1.2

First post has been updated with all the information you need.

Transferring items is pretty easy. You just take the qcraft portal located at spawn in each server. Just remember to be naked when you do it. If prompted type "/qcraft verify" once you've hopped through.

Oh, okay. Thought they used different versions.

Updating then...

And.... huh.

Well, that was.. weird.

Darkinnit, I sent you a PM explaining what happened, though I don't know why it happened.

All sorted.

Anyway, earlier on my travels I spotted this chicken trading with a Pech. Wonder what he'll get for that egg?


I also have my MFR Mining Laser fully operational and appropriately decorated:

Frankly, that's just plain amazing.

Noice.

I wish I could figure out what's going on with my launcher, though. Still have to try the Java thing you mentioned- though I'm also not sure how to go about with that. What, should I just, like, uninstall Java and then download v.7? I mean, jeeze.

And the game runs fine, once it starts up- it's just the launcher that's being slow. ( and I actually typed s.l.o.w. there, it wasn't autocorrected)

I think I may have accidentally duped some of Iustis' stuff while I was transferring it over for her lol...

If anyone happens to go into the Deep Dark- I was killed by a laggy superzombie in chain armour on the stairs. Some of my stuff has probably fallen off- I don't care about much, but if you can at least get my battleaxe I'll be happy.

Found your stuff. I shoved it in the enderchest.

Couldn't find an axe

EDIT: Nevermind. Found the axe.

The Deep Dark is really laggy.

Additionally, I put up a Deep Dark portal at 0,0 in the overworld. It's in a mud biome. It apparently does correspond with 0,0 in the Deep Dark.
