Rare Shadowkin Pigzombie of conflagration on deck...

The platform I've built will only hold up to a T4 blood altar so far, but we can always expand it. for now It will do.

Hey swamp... about all those extra lives of yours.

I could use them, for science.

also I need some fluxed electrum ingots.

So far I've added a small pasture with a sheep, two cows, and some chicken. I also framed a blood altar but there's not much use for it yet. Recipes have been tweaked to require lategame metals so I'm sorry I'm stuck.

x5: It's the most recent version of Agrarian Skies. Are you sure you have the right IP?

Feel free to use up those lives. Also for the fluxes electrum, I made a magma crucible but I didn't put it down yet. So later today those should be doable.

I don't appear to be whitelisted. Saintfrankie92 is my ingame.

EDIT: thanks.

@Lance: I see what you mean. Flux infused/enderium sounds pretty pricey. I think we'll have to go sacrifice then. IIRC self is a flat 20 per heart while sacrifice is a percentage per kill. We'll get way more mileage out of a sheep then our arm. Sigil of the green grove is also hilariously expensive now but I didn't check out the ritual. If the lamp of growth is still around we could combine them to take care of the food problem.

Fixed that.

Also for food we mostly need to plant more carrots. Carrots plus a juicer equals infinite food. For the blood altar we should make an MFR breeding system. Plus get more power to support it. Plus get more iron to support making Magmatic Dynamos.

I looked at the rune of self sacrifice but it's 4 enderium bars a pop :/

Aye. The wiki seems to think sacrifice/self-sacrifice give the same bonus of a flat 10% bonus. If we kill a hostile mob it's 500 a shot so with a tier two altar of all sacrifice we'd be looking at 625 a kill so 16 to get a full altar, assuming we're not tossing our own blood in at the same time. Self sacrifice would be 250/40 to fill.

the lava crystal got pricey too, with that fluxed electrum. I did a bit of ore refining today. I emptied out the smeltery and put a bit more iron in, we were a little low. Didn't have a lot of time this morning but I'll probably be back at it later today at some point.

We get a rune of sacrifice from the basic magic quest I believe.

I'm being lazy about finishing the quests. So much stuff we already have.

You have that crucible on you? I can't find it. I'll build a fluid transposer in the mean time.

EDIT: swamp made one, but yeah forgot about that, I'll get one of those to.

I didn't build the magna crucible yet no. You'll want a pulverizer to since the other one is full of cobblestone and you need pulverized coal for pyrotheum

Lance, you have to complete those quests again because you never joined the party

I should probably do that too >_>

I used the IP from the Tropecraft server. Did it change at all before you took Tropecraft down?

How does one join a party?

If you go to the page which lists the different groups of quests and don't have any selected, you can click on the party button on the right side of the page. Then you click on the party name and there will be an option to join the party.

So I got some Fluxed Electrum from a reward bag.

alrighty! so after we nearly lost a platform to a wither inducing, fireball spewing unholy pigman of infinite pain and deathification, I've installed a set of blast doors on the portal.

Learning to Skyblock is completed! And I got a Thaumium-Bossed Silverwood Wand and Focus of Equal Trade out of it

update the server pack yo

Server is updated.

Edit: Steel Powered Flight is complete!

added another sprinkler, but it lacks whatever you used to keep the other one permanently full.

So I think I've got an automated life essence farm figured out.

Step 1: We cause a chickularity. Not sure how we'll automate picking up the eggs and throwing them but it should give us baby chickens.

Step 2: chronotype out the babys onto a conveyor belt and into a waiting area

Step 3: once they mature we chrono them out and onto another belt destined for below the altar

Step 4: murderize them somehow. Auto-activators should probably do the trick but I'm not sure where to place one as it seems that the range for killing is right under the altar.

Step 5: tank out the life essence for later use. There seems to be lag between setting the tank to give the altar life essence and it actually getting it but it SEEMS to be working if rather slow.

Of course knowing my luck auto-activators with daggers of sacrifice dont count. But if that falls through we can just drop chickens onto the altar.

For Step 1 there's a vanilla solution. Use an automated chicken cooker, but don't include the lava/cooking part, and make the dispenser shoot onto whatever you want to do with them.

I'm very noobish at Blood Magic, but from what I gather, automated LP harvesting is meant to be done with the Well of Suffering. I'm not sure that it will count other non-manual methoods of chicken murderization.

Other people's setups that I've seen involve using spawn eggs to collect the chickens in a 1x1 space then whacking them all at once. When I tried that myself I mostly got a chicken explosion as the physics engine went "oh, hi! I'm awake now!".
