Gah. I want to make some crazy build, but I want to incorporate it into the landscape a bit. So a skyblock is no good. And I kinda want to use chisel & bits in the pack. So I need at least an 1.8 pack. But the ftb unstable pack is too much random crap thrown together. And most mods haven't ported to 1.8 yet.

Dammit everything

SO I have to create my own pack, but I would be interested in playing on some basic server together with others.

Ieuan

@Arperum we're about done with skyblock for the most part

Like we have at the most another month or two until we're all autocrafting creative cells

Arperum

That's the list of mods I found yesterday that might be interesting. Does anyone know others that work well in 1.8?

buildcraft is in there just for item transport and chunkloading.

Since I haven't found a chunkloading thing I liked yet.

The automated mining aspect might be usefull too :p

but I'd want some other powergen maybe.

I'd add botania but that's only 1.7 (even though it's in ftb unstable)

Jochem

10:17

what about Intangible and Psy?

Arperum

looks up

Jochem

Psy is Vazkii's new mod, with tile based programming. It's kinda based on an anime

ah, it's psi actually

ExU has it's own new power system btw, and a method of chunkloading

Ieuan

@Arperum is a 1.8 port just for that pack in unstable?

I'd be fine with downloading unstable and whatever other mods and putting them all in solder for our own use

As long as we don't make it a public pack it should be fine

Arperum

@Ieuan I don't want to take all of unstable because it's too much random crap.

Ieuan

@Arperum Read what I said

I'm not suggesting we play unstable

Arperum

10:22

So pick what we want from it and make an own pack?

Ieuan

I'm suggesting I put the mods unstable has on solder, we know those all work with a certain forge version and each other

Then we build or own pack

Using solder instead of manually distributing and stuff

Arperum

That could work.

@jochem what does the intangible do exactly?

Jochem

@Arperum it's a magic mod that lets you enhance your character with souls from various creatures

Arperum

@Jochem Like what sorts of things?

Ronan

@Ieuan I don't think I'm near that.

Ieuan

10:25

@Ronan you will be, it ramps up pretty quickly

Ronan

@Ieuan Perhaps, sorting out power would basically speed up everything.

I have enough plutonium to start AE too.

Ieuan

@Ronan Yeah once you get some HV lines and a reactor or two and/or some solars going it's all a bit easier

Jochem

there's a ton of stuff, like damaging mobs that attack you, repairing your armor, spawning block-based spider golem things. There's a system to build giant golems that you can inhabit, I think there's even ways to fly with it

lots of multiblocks and mechanics

Ieuan

> There's a system to build giant golems that you can inhabit, I think there's even ways to fly with it

Sold

Jochem

it's a big mod, dw20 did a 4 or 5 part spotlight on it

Ieuan

10:28

Wait is that the mod that has the massive golem structures in world gen that caused crashes and stuff?

Jochem

Mod Spotlight Intangible Pt1

►

Ieuan

Oh no it's not

Which mod was the one I'm thinking about?

Ronan

Speaking of having plutonium, I should probably stop my reactors running when I don't need power.

Arperum

has added intangible to personal list

Same for psi.

Ieuan

@Arperum get me a list of all the mods you'd like and where I can find them and I'll get them all into Solder

I wonder if there's any way to automate the solder mod zip creation

Like feed it a mod .jar and it automatically grabs the mod's name/ID and creates the zip with the right folder structure inside

Arperum

10:30

@Ieuan I'll do so this evening.

Ieuan

@Arperum sure, whenever works for me :P

Jochem

@Ronan you should really be using any excess power to generate iridium

Ronan

@Jochem I will do, but I can't run my machines at full speed yet, so I'm only wasting power when all processing finishes.

Arperum

@Jochem exU is extra Utilities?

Ieuan

@Ronan I can't put too many overclockers in my IC2 machines because of throughput, not because of generation

Unless you're using the resonant or cryo fluxducts you'll likely never be able to run all your machines at full speed unless every machine has it's own line directly to a generator

Ronan

10:36

@Ieuan Full speed without overclockers.

Ieuan

@Ronan even then, a line of them using the same power line will share the throughput of that power line because the power line is linear

Not saying you have the power, just saying that after like a couple hundred RF/t you're more likely to have trouble with throughput/sharing than generation

Ronan

@Ieuan Oh okay.

Well I'm not gaining power in my capacitor bank, so I don't think that's the problem just yet.

Jochem

@Arperum yup

Ronan

I do need to change up my wiring though.

Ieuan

@Ronan I had the same problem but in my case it was because my generation was also all on a 4kRF/t max throughput line and I was 'losing' generation because max. 4kRF/t was coming in and more than that was going out

Arperum

10:41

@Jochem On curse the versioning says that the 1.8 version is still an early alpha though.

Jochem

@Arperum ah, that sucks. I'm just naming things from the forgecraft playthrough dw20's doing mostly :/

Arperum

@Jochem We might just give it a try. I can't find the chunkloaders in it though. Under what name are they in there?

Jochem

pff, no clue... it's an evil eye looking totem thing

Ronan

@Ieuan Yeah I will need to change my power setup when I add some more generators.

Arperum

What things does buildcraft have that ExU doesn't have? or can we then just drop BC?

Kevin van der Velden

10:57

@Arperum robots

And lasers

And gates

Arperum

hmmm.

Kevin van der Velden

(In order of coolness, not necessarily of usefulness)

Arperum

Good enough.

Ronan

Usefulness is gates, robots, .......... lazers

Jochem

also, not 100% sure ExU still has RF gen

DH.

11:03

New ExU? Nope, not even a single RF generator

Ronan

Are the survivalist generators and things not exU?

DH.

That's why I said the new ExU, ExU 2 for 1.8 :P

Ronan

Oh okay.

That's a shame.

Oh wait, it doesn't use rf anymore does it?

DH.

ExU has nothing that ever needed power, the only thing is that there are 2 stuff one being the Angel Ring and the other I can't remember that need a new source of energy

Ronan

@DH. Chunk loaders.

Oh yeah, it didn't ever need power did it.

ratchet freak

11:06

@DH. QED?

Kevin van der Velden

@ratchetfreak eeh, doesn't use RF

So kinda but not to the point he was making

DH.

@ratchetfreak As of now there's no QED in 1.8

Arperum

What about the ender quarry?

Jochem

also, the QED used to take power, many versions ago

ratchet freak

I was talking about the "new source of energy"

DH.

11:11

Yeah I got it ratchet

But the worst part about the new ExU is that there's no more either Ender Pearl or Redstone Block versions for Transfer Node, now you need both always :c

Kevin van der Velden

@Arperum oh yeah that's a thing

I've been playing skyblock too much apparently

Ieuan

12:34

If you have a magnet, go to @KevinvanderVelden's base for free charcoal :D

Kevin van der Velden

By all means do

I'm voiding enough of it =p

Ieuan

Is there any specific reason why hitting a zombie pigman causes an internal server error?

Kinda too lazy to check

Kevin van der Velden

The server hates you and doesn't want you to hurt the poor pigman

Jochem

you need to unfortunately

you need nether shards for ichor

Arperum

@Ieuan You should cause it to die by fall damage.

Ieuan

12:49

@Jochem do you need to hit them or is shooting them fine?

Jochem

@Ieuan shooting is probably fine

it's just a rare drop

also, I killed dozens with my TiCon sword day before yesterday, and nothing bad happened

so I'm beginning to believe @KevinvanderVelden's reasoning more and more

Ieuan

13:33

@Jochem that's from maybe 5 minutes in @KevinvanderVelden's nether platform

Can't imagine drops being an issue

Kevin van der Velden

@Ieuan replace the magnum torch when you're done pls =p

Ieuan

@KevinvanderVelden I did d/w

Kevin van der Velden

Cool

Ieuan

@KevinvanderVelden I also shot like maybe 200 arrows through your portal, if the other side isn't loaded until you go through you'll probably die

Kevin van der Velden

That sounds like something you'd do

Thanks!

Ieuan

13:36

@KevinvanderVelden You're welcome!

Let's just call it science

Kevin van der Velden

If only I didn't already have infinite arrows

Ieuan

Is there any way to automate the thermionic fabricator?

Kevin van der Velden

Yes, it's fairly trivial

You can only have one recipe per however

Just keep a stack of sand (rationing pipe or something) and put the ingredients for the recipe in

Ieuan

Hmm

So I'd need one thermionic fabricator per glass bulb thingy

Kevin van der Velden

Yup

I have... 6 or so I think

Ieuan

13:45

I think I just saw an HV wire burn up

Ieuan

14:39

Time to race

Will pigs be faster, cows be faster, or will @Unionhawk discover this and yell at me faster?

Arperum

@Ieuan Are you planning on doing a @JeffreyLin with cows and pigs instead of chickens?

Ieuan

@Arperum Possibly

Arperum

@Ieuan Smart plan.

Jochem

15:12

I suggest an experiment! can pigs and cows swim in blazing pyrotheum?

Arperum

15:28

@Jochem You should also test out liquid metals. And all sorts of other possibly harmful substances.

Kevin van der Velden

@Arperum I propose he tries dousing them in witch water

Along with some other test subjects, I propose squids

Jochem

By the looks of the horizon, that's below 64 :D

Ieuan

15:43

@Jochem try whatever you want just make sure to leave 2 pigs and 2 cows

and clean up after yourself

Kevin van der Velden

Just put a few buckets of witch water underneath the base

DH.

16:36

A villager spawner with witch water is a really good experiment too

Kevin van der Velden

16:56

:o? What happens then

Jochem

don't they turn into witches?

DH.

Yup

I'm not sure if they turn into Coven ones as well, but yeah they turn into witches and don't take damage after being transformed

Jochem

17:43

@Ieuan y u do this

you have nothing killing those, and those breeders never stop

Ieuan

@Jochem isn't done yet m8

Jochem

then turn off the breeders :P

Kevin van der Velden

18:08

How many dragon stones do I need? A stack should do right

Arperum

21:02

@Ieuan pastebin.com/H21t2qms these are the mods I have listed. they all have a 1.8.9 version.

Ieuan

@Arperum awesome

Arperum

@Jochem @KevinvanderVelden @everyone else who might be interested in joining: have a look if something isn't missing. I don't mind difficulty increasing stuff. But blatant OP stuff like EE I don't want.

@Ieuan If you can get botania from the unstable pack too, that'd be nice too.

Ieuan

21:16

Bad idea incoming

Arperum

@Ieuan Isn't the first one that is created going to blow up the blocks around him and thus destroy a coupl of the other prepared ones?

Ieuan

@Arperum no it takes a few seconds for the initial explosion

And the stars don't explode and stuff luckily

Even 21 is kinda disappointing
