Awesome, I'll update my FtB!

Did this come with a a fresh server? Or are we keeping that for when a 1.9 pack comes along?

Awesome, I'll be on tonight then. Thanks Dark!

Why would you back-date? 1.10 is more recent than 1.9..

Hrm... I tried to join and crashed out, and now it seems the server doesnt show up :<



Gonna be hell to get back in and figure out what I was doing last year xD

The server didn't get wiped. I thought moving from version 1.6 to 1.10 would break the world, but everything is still here.

The last posts here were dealing with 1.9 and I thought that was the latest version, with 1.10.0 being a mod-specific version. I've not touched MC for many, many months.

It's irrelevant now, anyway.

Dark, I played for about 3 hours, and not a single hostile mob spawned. the server isn't set on peaceful, because I was still losing hunger, but yeah, nothing bad spawned. You may still have to wipe, I dunno.

Sorry, yes it's still Minecraft 1.7.10, Direwolf20 pack 1.10.0. Not Minecraft 1.10.0.

This was a known issue even before the update. The Tinker's Construct slime islands continue to spawn slimes which don't despawn and use up the mob cap. Even worse when they're chunkloaded.

I'll pop on a bit later and use a command to purge them.

I hate the new Curse UI for Feed-the-Beast. Heh. Still feeling a bit burnt out on Minecraft, but maybe the new FtB will help cure that.

Huh, I can't connect.

Some time ago, someone posted a graph of where various ores could be found... anyone know if there's one for the various FtB / Direwolf mods?

Also had to log off, getting a 4 minute delay between actions and the server responding. The delay started with the spawning of Blitz mobs.

Gonna try to log back on later today after class. Hopefully the lag (for me) is gone iwth the various server restarts since my last post.

Has anyone played wtih the new Thaumcraft 4.1?

The way research is done is... interesting. I think I liked how it was before.

Izzat the one for MC 1.10? Or just the last one for MC 1.7.10? If the latter, then I've got a whole series on Youtube where I'm using it a lot. If the former- nope.

The latter. It's the one that's in this mod.

Yeah, research is a little crazy. My biggest suggestion? Scan everything, and as soon as you can, get one of those research bench things that let you gain Aspect knowledge bits by breaking down things, and then start feeding as much Ordo-bearing stuff into it as you can afford. Ordo is very, very useful, but also rather rare-ish (unlike Terra or Perditio).

Basically, also, spend your early research aspects on things that make researching easier- don't even bother going past the first page until you've unlocked a lot of that stuff, though the knowledge sharing thing isn't very useful.

Some of the better blocks for Ordo are Chiselled Sandstone and Stone Bricks iirc.

It's been a while since I did research (or even played FtB) though.


Also surrounding your research table with certain blocks will give you 'ghost points' that regenerate overtime for use with research. I can't remember which blocks give what, though, besides water giving Aqua and grass giving Terra.

Maybe Quartz for Ordo- I didn't know about that, though.

I'm not sure if it was just some of the mods I had, but Stone Bricks and Chiselled Sandstone might not have Ordo on them in this version- I was trying to get Ordo, and I found very few things with Ordo on them- and nothing common. The most 'basic' item with Ordo was quartz.

you need bees for ordo, all the waxes are heavy with it. just plain bees wax is 3 ordo. Also surround your research table with books til all the symbols have a glowing dot next to them. That way when you use your last aspect it will recharge itself and you'll always have at least 1 of everything.

I've been doing a lot with thaumcraft, I have just about everything researched, I just need to chat with the voices in my head a while so I can unlock the end game dimension.

Yeah, I walked into your house, and accidentally have all the research points I will ever need...

oh and also build a deconstruction table, if you feed it crafting tables it will give you any of the base aspects.

ya scanning the nodes at my place and spawn should get you quite a few interesting aspects

Smooth sandstone is the easiest to get Ordo I think. So once I get the deconstruction thing I'll use that. I've been taking it pretty easy scanning stuff at spawn lately so I should have plenty though

Of course, as I'm using mostly magic mods in my game, I don't have access to a lot of machinery to scan- I think a lot of that stuff tends to have Ordo on it as well, often in high concentrations.

A lot of machinery can't be scanned at all. IC2 machinery is especially prone to this. From my impression, this is due to internal politics amongst the ftb mod teams-- the Thaumcraft devs basically hate IC2 and its devs too much to include such a feature. But I could have been misreading the thread mind you but meh.

Also goddamnit. I appear to have lost track of our stock of ender pearls. I really need an ME system instead of this chest based system. Anyone have any to donate? I know there's several people who have enderman farms.

Nevermind on that last bit, solved my problem for now.

The lag was so bad this morning that I was able to travel through time and meet myself.

And I'm not even joking or exaggerating.

It was pretty nasty this morning... Though I wasnt so lucky as to meet a temporal clone of myself.

I just had the rather boring blocks not breaking particularly on-time.


EDIT

Ooof.... A couple hours later and DANG! Lag intensified. Not really even playable at this point

I'll take a look when I get home from work. If anyone's set up any new mob spawner/breeders or new item transport system recently, please check on them.

I use the Feed the beast launcher, and there's an option to change your ram. Make sure to set it to 4gb. I'm sure the curse launcher would have a similar option.

speaking of lag related, I'm not sure if it's causing lag, but it might be the result of it.

The golems at my bean farm are breeding. I started with 2 in one room and they're now up to 5, another room is up to 4.

do golems breed on their own?

The lag was found to be caused by a villager population gone wild in the mining age.

This has now been "resolved".

Um. What kind of golems?

If Thaumcraft, then no. If Iron, then they might if they're far enough from the Village- that's how Iron Farms work. If Snow... What?
