Here's the Direwolf20 modlist, it does look more interesting than the Resurrection pack

**cptprice0330**

I do have to say watching fireballs stream last night they have gregteched the entire pack, which includes far too much micro-crafting

**darkinnit**

I'm currently looking into setting up a Direwolf20 server to replace the Monster server.

I'm waiting for version 1.0.2 of the Direwolf20 pack before I make it live though. Apparently it's due in about 24 hours or so.

If there's anything you wanted to do on the Monster server before it goes, now's the time.

**Matt.Kingsley**

Sounds good, Dark.
Just looked at the complete modlist for it and I'm liking it.
there being quite a few magic mods makes me happy, though I doubt I'll get around to using witchery

When was the last time you logged in to play Monster?

Nobody here seems to play Monster anymore, and the new Direwolf20 pack is running Minecraft 1.7 (and all the updated mods to go with it). The other pack they're working on (Resurrection) doesn't seem to be as varied a mix of mods and the new Questing modpacks they're working on might still be a while off yet.

**Inquisitor Lord Bane**

Well my desktop (before it broke...again) couldn't handle Monster, but it did OK with the Direwolf pack, and my laptop can sort of run Dire, enough to get me setup with a space while I try to fix my main comp. So I'm happy for this

**Absolutionis**

Aww. The DireWolf20 pack doesn't have Modular Powersuits.

I guess everyone's favorite handicap will have to be overcome.

It does have Morph though, so gaining creative mode flight is as easy as killing a bat

**mondo80**

Monster? not ultimate?

Yeh but bats have 3 hp

**Matt.Kingsley**

EDIT: MPS is in the DW20 1.7 pack. (At least, in the recommended version)

~~I suspect Dire may add MPS when it's updated to 1.7.~~

In any case, I think the version of ExtraUtilities in the b\pack has the angel ring (the ring that allows you to fly); I could be wrong, though.

**Xeriapt**

New mods are always fun, looking forward to it.

**Absolutionis**

Bat-transform also forces you to look like a bat at bat height. If there is no Angel Ring, the whole server is going to be a bunch of bats.

**Anvildude**

Except the people who use thaumostatic harnesses.

**Matt.Kingsley**

The version of DW20 1.7 I was using when I was testing it out has Power Suits, Angel Rings etc. I think I was using version 1.0.1 of the modpack.

Be warned, Angel Rings are pretty expensive, costing 1 nether star and 2 unstable ingots, but that makes sense as it is free flight as oppossed to MPS power-costing flight, Thaumcraft's essentia-costing flight and morph's bat form.

**Xeriapt**

Seems witchery has a flying broom also.

**Doctadeth**

Witchery indeed has the broom, as shown by Hannah of Yogcast.....

I'm going for both magic and industrial this time around, using magic to get basics and industry on the good stuff.

Probably will trade for the angel ring.

**Co'tor Shas**

This direpack is pretty good. They generally are, and you can watch is vids to learn about stuff you don't know as well.

**Xeriapt**

Im guessing 1.0.2 got delayed?

**Matt.Kingsley**

Yeah, looks like it. From what Dire said in his Lets Play series the team are fixing a few things, like making Big Reactors more balanced by reducing the total amount of power per yellow ingot and changes in the configs to make it so that elevators don't cost experience among others.

**Xeriapt**

Ah fair enough.

**darkinnit**

So I generated a Direwolf20 world over the weekend. But due to me foolishly misreading "chunk" as "block" on the ACT wiki page, I accidentally generated sixteen times too much world. (I wondered why it was taking sooo long

). There's 27GB of Direwolf20 world sitting on the server at the moment...

However, looking at the map I generated of the world, I can see that I set the chance of Taint biomes to be a little too high.

I'm going to delete the world, lower the taint biome chance and pre-gen (a much smaller amount) again. As I'm going to delete it, you can take a look at the map if you like:

The map stops at a 5000 radius because I configured it to not draw any further past that, the world is much larger than the map shows. Oops!

**Absolutionis**

Do those giant orange lava-dongs outcropping all over the place serve any purpose?

Project Red volcanoes. They're supposed to be like the Redpower 2 volcanoes.

**Matt.Kingsley**

Wow, all the taint.

Seems I know where all the missing taint from my single player world went

Do they do anything? I understand the desire for nostalgia from RP2, but they look more like pillars of inexplicable flowing lava more than a "volcano".

**Matt.Kingsley**

From what I can tell, like the RP2 volcanoes, they do nothing

**Xeriapt**

That is indeed a lot of taint.

Anyone planning on checking out witchery?

**Co'tor Shas**

Is is just me, or is there more taint generated in the recent editions of thaumcraft?
