Hi all,

I see the Direwolf20 pack has been updated to version 1.0.3, but I'll look at upgrading the server tomorrow. Stay on 1.0.2 for now if you want to play on the server.

Huge changelog here:
https://feedthebeast.atlassian.net/wiki/display/PML/Direwolf20+%281.7.x%29+1.0.3

Ah. Any mods deactivated that we should know about?

Looking through the changelog, mind you, just wanted to know what you thought was important.


Ah, there it is:

Removed Enet Bridge
Removed NoMoreRecipeConflicts

Well gak.

I'm going to need to fix my energy setup then...

Wow that IS a lot of changes.

And woo, we now have Ender IO ME Conduits again! Now I can hide my ME system inside my Chisel blocks.

And now we have the Bloodletters pack and T6 altars for BM, looks like I should start getting into that now, too.

Hopefully I can swap over to DSUs again.

Is there any new way to transfer EU to RF?

Because if I'm now forced to have four entirely separate energy systems in my base, I'm going to be pissed off.

Forestry has electrical engines that convert EU to MJ and Ender IO conduits (but not capacitor banks/machines) can convert MJ to RF and back again.

But I think that's it.

Forestry Wiki Page for Electrical Engines

I recommend you fill them up with as many iron tubes as possible to that they are as efficient as possible.

Penumaticraft and Botania also have ways of transferring EU->Pressure/Mana and vice versa. You could just set up a system that way.

Wait, you can turn energy into mana? That's useful.

I'll see if I can set up a working pneumaticcraft system to change my RF to EU then...

Sorry, I haven't been able to get around to updating the server just yet, I'll try to get it done tomorrow.

When a mod gets removed, what happens to the blocks from the mod that were placed before the update?

They just vanish. However, in this case, the mods being removed don't have any blocks.

Would anyone mind if i build a base in this region?

The Direwolf20 server is now updated to version 1.0.3

If you get an error message when viewing the map, hold CTRL and refresh to force a refresh (I've updated Dynmap to 2.1 too).


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Furthermore, as a few people have experienced this:

"If your maps/waypoints are missing after the update, look in minecraft/journeymap/data/*/ and move the old folder contents to the new one."

In this case, it will be:
[your FTB folder]/Direwolf20_17/minecraft/journeymap/data/mp/

There'll be two folders in there for this server, one with a load of extra characters on the end. Copy the waypoints from the one without the extra characters into the folder with the extra characters on it.

You only need to do this if your waypoints are missing and you want them back. If you can live without them or recreate them ingame or aren't having this problem, you don't need to do this.

I'm an evil, evil man...


and before anyone mentions it, yes I know the cobble is ugly. It's slowly being replaced by arcane stone and void stone.

Still need to make more cages. Maybe I should make one for a certain Indignant DakkaDakka member who's a witch...

Looks awesome, I think the cages are a nice touch lol.

That's fantastic. Now you just need to make it inside a full on temple.

Also, will you have the room do you think for the full 6 tiers of altar? I don't see anyplace for the beacons.

Yep, there's room for the full 6 tiers. The large pillars in the background are the ones for the T6 altar.

I'd like to say the cages were entirely my idea but they weren't, I was inspired by Ako the Builder's funky locomotion altar design which he had cages like that

Did you get the inspiration for those cages from Ako?

Yep, I did.


Currently building a public Wither Skele grinder. I'm almost done, I just need to get the items to route properly

EDIT: Grinder is done, however it is very slow.
EDIT 2: If I can get some more skeleton spawners I could speed it up, but 1 should do for now, hopefully.

Got my blood altar built up to T5 today so I started doing a bit more research on the Demon Invasion ritual.

Found out it has a massive 1000 block range... so when I actually get around to doing it (which won't be for a few days at least, I need to make the reagents still) where should I put it Dark?

Also, I don't know whether the FTB launcher already did this when it was updating Dark, but WayofTime said "If you want the full experience of the Demon Invasion, you have to delete your config/BloodMagic folder." because the schematics can be out of date.

But yeah, as I said it will most likely be a few days before I'm ready to begin the invasion.
At least the server only needs one since demons keep spawning.


As a side note I wrote daemon instead of demon both times when I first wrote this post... heh heh.

Yikes, that's a huge range for the demon invasion...

You'll want somewhere flat for best results, just make sure it's far enough away from anyone else. Overworld is fine as long as it's not too close to anyone, but you could also choose a distant spot in the mining age.

When I update the server I always start from a fresh new installation and import the world save etc - the config/BloodMagic folder is fresh on the server, so don't worry about that.

Ok in that case I'll find somewhere far off in the Mining Age, just to be safe.

I thought it was going to take me a while to get all the resources for it, but it didn't. I already have the reagents I need. All I need to do is get the life points (which isn't hard).

If others would like to watch invasion begin I'll save activating it until more people are online.

EDIT decided on a spot that's more than 1000 blocks from the mining age portal, and far enough it shouldn't effect anyone's quarries

You could also just put it on an island. It'd be kinda cool to have a Demon Isle. I don't think any of the inhabitants fly, so they won't be too much of a problem.

Unfortunately the roads spread over water last I heard (read)

Update on my progress towards activating the ritual: ~14000000 of the 15000000 LP has been collected. Real close now, should get the amount needed in the next hour or so.
Actually, definitely in the next hour, the only way it could take longer is if the witches dies or my altar blew up or something.

And now I have the LP needed.
I'll probably wait a bit before starting the invasion, though, in case anyone else wants to see it be activated and raid the buildings as they spawn.

Also, from what I understand, the Demons tend to deal damage that penetrates most others mods' armor and will deal about 8-9 hearts worth of damage essentially two-shotting most anyone not wearing Blood Magic armor.

It's a good thing I replaced my Thaumium Fortress armour with Bound Armour yesterday, then.

Methinks I should invest in some bound armour also
