The Modded Minecraft Thread

I'm sorry but I've done this before. What I want to do with Minecraft is very server-intensive, so I might as well do it on my client.

Thanks for the kind help, but I'll be sticking to myself for now.

Mr. Tibbs is notoriously picky about placing essence; he's such a stickler for the rules. I normally grab all the jars after use but RL stuffs yo.

I hope you'll still drop by occcasionally to hang out or whatever.

So the mess in the basement: I was trying to make this thing and I couldn't get the shape right or cryo moves in a weird way. Either way it would be nice to have glowstone be a renewable resource. I threw some of the stuff required into the chest on the main floor if someone wants to give it a shot.

Was going to log in today and then the power in my computer room died. I'm stuck with just my phone until the power company gets it dealt with.

I've been thauming like a mofo recently. Got the ichor wand/bottomless bag set-up plus the super versions of the ichor robe/pants. Creative flight without batmode is super awesome but I miss the sprinty goodness of my MPS leggings. Workin' on the boots/hood tomorrow then I'll probably move onto the sword or something else.

My power is back so maybe today or tomorrow I'll be on :)

Hood/boots are a go. Boots are actually a tad bit fast for my tastes but I'll get used to it. I got the osmotic enchanter someone was working on set-up in the basement. Prot IV on my swag and an ichor sword is tre cool. I've got a arcane bore drilling a tunnel to our underwater forcefield base.

BTW we have an underwater forcefield base. I haven't done anything there except light it up but the potential is there. It's also a huge powah drain so if someone wants to set-up 'nother high pressure boiler that might help. I'd do it but I have no clue how boilers work but we have 3 million(!) charcoal just sitting around.

EDIT: Also server down. I was derping around in the tunnel picking up torches while flying so...mod asplode maybe?

ok, so I haven't infused yet, but how does the new array work for stabilizing ?

It seems fairly stable to me. I did a dangerous infusion (the Shadowbeam Focus) without any issues.

It's gone pretty okay for me. Nothing destroyed/knocked down yet and I crafted a full set of the super kami robes.

that's good, I put a lot of effort into setting it up. obsessed over it far more than I probably needed to.

The current setup is indeed extremely stable. Five dangerous infusions in the last couple days for me and not a single issue with flux.

Also Lance and I discussed a supersetup for infusion with an AE network using beans to keep a ton of warded jars full of essentia and mirrors to transport it to the altar. Maybe that's what we should do with our forcefield dome: super magic space. The only issue I can see with it is infusions that require more than a full jar of aspect. We could even have a computer readout displaying all the vis levels...

if the jars are hooked up to a furnace, the setup should detect the falling vis levels and pump beans in to compensate. Hypothetically it shouldn't be a problem.

Also remember that is we use normal jars the alembic and furnace will hold an entire jar worth. This actually obviates the need to monitor the Vis levels at all since it will automagically shut off when full.

We should see if TVI's will work for jars (they should) which will give us a bit more room to work with without crossing pipes it seems it will not work with jars, a pity. I'll have to experiment with labeled pipes to see if they'll let us do what I want to do with them.

I ran into issues testing, my mirror refused to let me transmit all the essentia types, it just wouldn't draw them all through. I suspect this is a bug. Even if it isn't, I've found that my experimental setup will allow (almost) all the aspects to be hassle free after the initial install. It currently holds 44/51 essentia types, I worry that making it too much bigger will make it too large to fit below the altar while still allowing infusions.

with my prototype done and tested, it's significantly more simple than I thought.

I'll set it up Later™=

I decided to set it up now. There should now be 2 jars of every aspect used in infusion. one and a half available right away, with a remaining 32 in the furnaces that will slowly trickle through the system. That's 96 of each essence available more or less right away. The system should fuel and feed itself automagically, though it'd be nice if swamp would set up that computer readout for us so we can monitor it without manually checking jars and/or bean levels.

For those of you without goggles of revealing, yes there is currently no particle effect on the altar to show essentia being pumped in. It is flowing though so don't worry. Essentia can travel through blocks even though the particles pile up like they're stuck.

"There should now be 2 jars of every aspect used in infusion" he said as he completely forgot about metallum, a major component of several endgame infusions

I totally missed that it was used at all. I double checked and everything.

what is it used for?= "Several?" It is used exactly once for the awakened ichorium pickaxe. nobody uses runic armor, much less the hardened enchantment so that doesn't count.

Also I think I broke the server by being too awesome

Should be back up. (Also isn't metallum used in the Arcane Bore? Or was that only in 3.0?)

edited 23rd Apr '14 6:21:37 AM by Swampertrox

It is not used in the bore.

I think I broke the server again. It's probably best that no one use the elemental arrows, they appear to crash the server.

In other news, I'm not 100% sure I can be hurt anymore, considering I have full KAMI superrobes, enchanted with with protection IV...

Server restarted. And yeah, most endgame armor seems to have that effect...

Also I can now grind multiple Withers simultaneously with my Sharpness V Awakened Ichorium Sword

... Sometimes I'm glad my PC is too crappy to run Minecraft (with or without mods). I would probably get even less work done than usual.

So I found a vein of diamonds in the bedrock dimension. Needless to say, we now have more than we'll ever need.

I also set up a Celestial Gateway to the forcefield dome.
