What's a source of motus other than pistons? Because the latest update seems to have broken that.

Unionhawk

Aren't trapdoors a source?

user43095

Ohhh trapdoors

user43095

Yes they are

user43095

And to think that I melted a stack of pistons whenever I needed motus.

Tim Post

2:26 AM

@JeffreyLin Would one of those Ender IO crafter thingys work?

I don't mind taking out Ender Zoo, but that puts us back at 100% vanilla mobs, not sure how everyone is with that (I'm fine)

user43095

@TimPost Just an automatic workbench (I have dozens) would be fine.

user43095

There's still Twilight Forest and some other mods that do mobs.

user43095

Plus less strain on the server.

user43095

Something is watching you. Maybe it is time to stop. Never!

user43095

On the other hand, statistics show that I have spent 13 days on the server. Probably closer to 11 because of AFK.

user43095

2:35 AM

Running low on research aspects :(

user43095

3:04 AM

user43095

I've done it!

Unionhawk

Oh god

user43095

3:24 AM

@Unionhawk And it only took ~8 hours.

user43095

What's the worst I could do with the ultimate wand anyway? Ward your house? I guess I could fire the primal focus a billion times, but that's boring.

Coronus

5:51 AM

Locked in a what?
A WHAT???

Ieuan

6:59 AM

@TimPost What about Mo' Creatures? Or Infernal Mobs ;)

Jochem

8:28 AM

@Ieuan isn't everyone at that point in the techtree where you can afk in lava for an hour and not care?

Ieuan

@Jochem Im using maxed out diamond armor and maxed out diamond tools, haven't even gotten some proper energy stuff yet

Jochem

@Ieuan ah ok, so yeah... you might be the only one still vulnerable to mobs. As long as they don't knock off my armor, I doubt they'd do anything to me

Ieuan

@Jochem Oh I don't take much damage though.. I can pretty much tank a wither all day long as long as he doesn't start spitting fireballs

Jochem

@Ieuan yeah, but your diamond armor will wear out. most higher tier armor doesn't

Arperum

8:54 AM

@Ieuan Mo'Creatures is no fun because the ogres will blow up your stuff. Infernel mobs was in the pack for quite some time.

@JeffreyLin Now make awakened ichorcloth armor and then enchant the shit out of that. Note: do not disenchant that stuff, as that crashes the server (because disenchanter takes away some durability, and ichorcloth doesn't have durability. Also ichor tools.

Jochem

@Arperum that still isn't fixed? :o

Arperum

@Jochem Don't know, I don't expect it to be.

Kevin van der Velden

10:18 AM

@Arperum disenchant it with the spellwiping cloth

That doesn't crash

Jochem

afaik the crashbug was fixed when we still had the giant redwood base

I remember disenchanting stuff there with MFR at least

I'd test, but yeah...

Kevin van der Velden

10:30 AM

Well, I can restart the server if you test =p

Arperum

@KevinvanderVelden That should certainly work.

@Jochem Was it fixed? I remember us just not doing it anymore.

Jochem

@Arperum might be that yeah, can't remember

Arperum

It only crashed on stuff without durability, such as wand cores and ichor armor.

Tim Post

1:04 PM

It should be possible to put players in warded jars. I'm just sayin'

Arperum

@TimPost Force them to somehow click a linkbook that drops all their stuff and puts them in a warded box.

ratchet freak

lure them in a spatial storage drive with the only way out a disarming linkbook

Tim Post

1:47 PM

I'd institute a penalty box on this server but the people most in need of punishment are ops :P

user43095

@Arperum That's exactly what I was planning to do. Just need more research aspects and dimensional shards.

Kevin van der Velden

@TimPost I usually fix it!

user43095

@TimPost I'm not in need of punishment?

Tim Post

Well, that, and I'd have to basically say "Now @KevinvanderVelden - go loan me something to punish you with" yeah see that just doesn't roll off right.

Ieuan

2:16 PM

@TimPost Back in the MCPC+ days I just used a plugin that made it impossible to TP out of an area within certain coords

Tim Post

I made 'choose your own adventure' kill boxes in some adventure maps. Basically, "If you're here, you died. You should have looked where you were going. Now, choose your fate" and basically fall into lava, get naked with spiders, hold up some pistons with your face, etc.

Push button selection and hey, I was nice, I put an ender chest in it.

I miss making adventure maps.

ratchet freak

@TimPost is there something stopping you from picking up HQM and making one?

Tim Post

Something borked with transceivers and import buses in the last update, import buses don't seem to work directly attached to the side of a transceiver now

@ratchetfreak time, mostly

Eh, scratch that, it magically just started working again. Strange

user43095

2:32 PM

@TimPost I feel like lots of things borked in the last update.

Tim Post

I thought updates made things better

More reason why we should just make and maintain our own pack :)

user43095

i made age 20 yesterday, and I put all the OP liquid pages in it and there are absolutely no liquids. Just bedrock and various structures. Makes for good mode hunting though.

Tim Post

Oh cool! I'll grab a few stacks of glass and head there later

user43095

@TimPost Power Converters! Not sure why Dire didn't add it.

user43095

Honestly, any dimension I make has lots of nodes. Yes, even the hootch one.

Tim Post

2:37 PM

@JeffreyLin What in our pack other than IC2 isn't capable of producing or consuming RF?

I'm not opposed to adding them provided that those occasional OpenGL client crashes are a thing of the past, but (1) they bleed ticks and (2) do we really even need them?

The Rednet energy cables convert RF to EU (but cap at 1k rf/t), is that limitation the issue?

Restarting the server, something is really screwy

every single import / export bus I have stopped working

Restart fixed it. @KevinvanderVelden there was probably shit raining all over your base and in your compact machines for hours - might wanna check your potion gen setup and stuff

Jochem

I'd even go so far as saying we could ditch IC2 if we were making our own pack / customizing an existing one

Tim Post

I keep saying I'm going to make some drills, a mining laser and some quantum armor. I do like some of the IC2 stuff.

Jochem

The parts I like are so far down the tech tree and crafting them are such a pain, I generally just use the alternatives

and if I'm blaspheming anyway, the same can be said for BC

I'm using a pump from there I think... quarries are the only other commonly used thing, but you can just use an ender quarry for that <_<

user43095

2:53 PM

@TimPost I was having problems with steam -> RF, but MFR's steam thingy seems to work okay

user43095

From IC I like the induction furnace, but it doesn't work as well when bleeding ticks. Other than that I guess the Solars are pretty cool. And we will probably need a minertweaker recipe to convert uranium to yellorite if we do decide to get rid of it.

user43095

i think I'll take a look into the Infernal Mobs config later, see if I can make it more balanced.

Tim Post

Holy wow! Whoever helped by filling in all that dirt at my place, thank you!

Jochem

I'm not saying we should (or even could) get rid of them in the existing world. Just that if I were to make a modpack, I'd leave those two out :)
There wouldn't _be_ any uranium without IC2 afaik

Tim Post

@Jochem OresPlus adds it, and its version is dictionaried

But yeah, IC2 provides it

Jochem

2:57 PM

@TimPost so they'd Just Work(tm) with Big Reactors? nice

user43095

Speaking of dirt, Were you the one that filled in the holes next to the wither box?

Tim Post

Yeah, with no problem. The only wonky part is custom textures (sphax etc) won't render it the same as they would the IC2 variety (different ID) but that's trivial

user43095

because mobs were spawning all over. It seems like you only filled in the top part.

Tim Post

@JeffreyLin I filled it in once, but was careful to fill it completely

(a while ago, right after uni built it and blew up a bunch of withers)

user43095

I suggest nobody fill it in, unless you feel like warding it.

user43095

3:00 PM

Because then things happen.

Tim Post

I say don't fill it in, as I'd like to automate killing of things in that box eventually

(which requires access underneath)

user43095

@Jochem You can reply to people without having the name there?

Jochem

@JeffreyLin just click the little reply-thingy at the side. I think the name being left out is new though

or not, I'm confused now

@JeffreyLin maybe if it's non-addressed it leaves it out?

user43095

@TimPost There is a wither proof block in EnderIO now, You can have turtles break and place it.

Jochem

huh, no, that's not it either, weird

Tim Post

3:03 PM

Ender IO - because extra utilities just takes too f***ing long.

user43095

What does?

user43095

The pipes?

Tim Post

Wither proof compressed cobble

user43095

I could have a minimal lag setup that makes two sextuple per hour. I'm just too lazy and ran out of space.

user43095

Assuming optimal TPS of course.

user43095

3:05 PM

Which means one block of bedrockium every ~2 days.

user43095

Don't underestimate Thermal Expansion Cyclic Assemblers. If I overclocked them, oh man.

ratchet freak

a minimal lag cobble compresser is SFM crafting

user43095

But what's the rate?

user43095

i mean, AutoWorkbenches are also minimal lag.

Tim Post

I've had the most luck with the Ender IO crafters with the octatic upgrade, but those cost a bit to run

Could also just let an igneous extruder run for a few days and just let AE do it

user43095

3:11 PM

Igneous extruder is the slowest thing

user43095

This actually seems like it would make a lot of lag on our server

Tim Post

@JeffreyLin Nah, actually, minimal. It only gets icky if you plant every single thing at the exact same time (which means a bazillion block updates in a single chunk, times 12 - 14 chunks). Otherwise, farms tend to be fine.

That is unless you have 10,000 chickens under your floor.

user43095

To be fair, they were never under my floor.

Tim Post

You build floors out of strange things so how are we to ever know?

user43095

I don't even have a floor yet.

Tim Post

3:24 PM

Bullshit. Don't deny that one you built out of air. See what I mean?

user43095

Actually it's grass.

Vandammetje

3:45 PM

@JeffreyLin You buried thousands of chickens under the grass? I don't think that's how a chickenfarm works.

Tim Post

4:01 PM

Aww man, WAILA stopped showing how many channels are in use on smart / dense cables :(

Ieuan

@JeffreyLin If you need space, my base has a ton, feel free to dump shit there so I have free shit :D

ratchet freak

@TimPost maybe a config setting?

Kevin van der Velden

@TimPost look at it for a bit

It takes some time

Tim Post

Okay, I am now in a staring contest with a dense cable. It's Friday night, and I'm in a staring contest with a dense cable.

Kevin van der Velden

Could be worse

user43095

4:20 PM

@Ieuan I need like a 5*5*5 space. Plus ~200 RF/t

user43095

Hmm, I think at this point my magic is probably on-par if not better than @KevinvanderVelden's :O

We need a new thread and a new ad!

Ieuan

5:20 PM

@JeffreyLin Pretty sure I have that

user43095

5:49 PM

@Ieuan Fine, I will set it up at your place.

Vandammetje

6:51 PM

@Ieuan I can haz room to build my first nuclear reactor at your place?

I promise I will center it near or around important stuff only.

Ieuan

7:10 PM

@Vandammetje Aint that what compact machines are for?

user43095

8:33 PM

user43095

This is a warp thing right?

Jochem

I'm suddenly really glad I avoid flammable building materials

user43095

@Jochem Isn't your house made of wood?

Jochem

@JeffreyLin special, non-flammable wood

I tested, it doesn't catch fire

user43095

Want me to test again for you?

Jochem

8:36 PM

nah, I'm good :)

user43095

Weird, the fire disappeared

user43095

Ah well, back to crafting stuff at @Kevin's.

user43095

I'm looking for the item that when melted gives the most essentia. Doesn't matter which one, just the total amount.

Jochem

@JeffreyLin does it have to be cheap?

user43095

I'd prefer for it to be renewable. Zombie brains seems to be winning as of now at 8.

user43095

8:41 PM

Mob heads 12

user43095

I mean I could melt down cobblestone but that's not fuel-efficient.

user43095

Man-made things usually have a higher count.

Jochem

@JeffreyLin what is your plan with this essentia? cause fuel efficient isn't really a thing at this stage right? I mean, you can use sticks or charcoal which are renewable and easy to get in ludicrous quantities

user43095

I'm going to make a somewhat cheaty altar setup using crystallizers. Azanor hasn't fixed it at this point, so it is probably intended.

user43095

So it actually doesn't come down to fuel efficiency but rather speed at which it takes to gain essentia.

user43095

8:49 PM

It's not the fastest thing either, since the altar uses only one source at a time.

user43095

Although if it's running at that speed, I'll probably need lots of mob heads for stability.

Jochem

oh, that bug you were talking about where the crystallizer is treated as a valid source of any type of essentia regardless of the type it contains

that's very likely not intended...

like, I can't possibly imagine why that would be intended behavior. also, keep in mind that instability grows as an infusion takes longer so you don't want to wait for your essentia for forever

user43095

That's why I was looking for the "best" object.

Unionhawk

9:29 PM

Are player statistics stored client side or server side?

user43095

@Unionhawk Server side.

Unionhawk

@JeffreyLin Perfect

Vandammetje

10:40 PM

@Ieuan Hm probably better but not as much fun =p

@JeffreyLin You're that kind of guest that invites himself to a party, burns down the place and sue's the home-owner to pay the cleaning costs of your tuxedo, right?
