fredley

6:00 PM

@Unionhawk I wish I had time to play ftb again

Unionhawk

@fredley Also this.

Tim Stone

@RedRiderX Yeah, I have no idea.

Kevin van der Velden

@fredley I play a pack of Horizons and Direwolf20 thrown in a big blender

It's kinda fun

fredley

@KevinvanderVelden Where do you play?

Kevin van der Velden

@fredley SSP

fredley

6:01 PM

The thing is, having essentially done everything I wanted to do in FTB when we had our server up, I don't really have the motivation to start again

Krazer

Kevin van der Velden

@fredley that's why I added horizons

fredley

@KevinvanderVelden What does it do?

Kevin van der Velden

It's a modpack which is focused on new mods

Arperum

Thaumcraft 4 is awesome too!

Unionhawk

6:03 PM

I'm not up on your kids hip new mods

FAE

@TimStone ...what

Tim Stone

Hmm, that reminds me that I should image the Minecraft server since I was all "Oh I'm thinking about taking it down" and totally haven't yet. >_> <_<

OrigamiRobot

FtB was a lot of fun, but coming in in the middle when everyone already had established bases and such made it less fun. I didn't get to see all the really fun community stuff being designed/built.

Kevin van der Velden

Afk, food :)

Tim Stone

That @TimStone guy, what a jerk.

Kevin van der Velden

6:03 PM

@OrigamiRobot jeah =[

FAE

@OrigamiRobot Jochem just rented a VPS to put a server on

Tim Stone

@FAE I'm sure I've said that or was going to say that at one point but I have no idea how it ended up there.

Unionhawk

@OrigamiRobot Yea, when I played after the reset, I was just like "welp, what's the point?"

OrigamiRobot

@FAE :O

fredley

@Unionhawk Me too

OrigamiRobot

6:04 PM

@Unionhawk I wanted to play after the reset, but they enables GregTech

RedRiderX

Arperum

@OrigamiRobot And it's pretty stable, I kinda tried to nuke it into lagging, but it didn't work.

RedRiderX

smbc-comics.com/index.php?db=comics&id=3259

Wipqozn

@RedRiderX If you got XP for pushing rocks in RL I'd push rocks all day long.

If you know what I meant sexually suggestive wink

Unionhawk

@OrigamiRobot Gregtech isn't that terrible, imo, but it was more that the spawn village area didn't really happen too well/coordinatedly

OrigamiRobot

6:05 PM

@Wipqozn You do get XP, it's just not shown anywhere.

RedRiderX

Also:

Arperum

@Wipqozn The UI is RL is terrible.

OrigamiRobot

@Arperum Is this separate from the map you guys were creating?

TZHX

Well, I guess I know how to get a lot of up-votes on a question... ask an answerable, on-topic game-identification

Arperum

@OrigamiRobot Yup, that map will be imported as a mystcraft age, and then expanded until we open it to the public.

RedRiderX

6:09 PM

@Arperum Ugh FtB...

feels mind turning to mush

Arperum

The age is "private" by means of not accessible without the correct linking book, and that linking book being locked down in a secured place.

OrigamiRobot

@Arperum WANT WANT WANT WANT

I miss my soylent green powered base :(

@Arperum When are you guys starting?

murgatroid99

@TZHX Ugh, seriously? +10 in an hour for not being the same crap as usual?

Arperum

Jochem's server will normally run some slightly modified "Monster" pack.

Kevin van der Velden

@Arperum I'm game to, sounds like fun :)

Arperum

6:16 PM

@OrigamiRobot The base layout for the map is completed for 3/8 at least, I was planning on working on it some more tonight, and get some biggish part done. We haven't been focusing purely on the map yet, we first had to build up some bit of a base of course.

OrigamiRobot

@Arperum I mean the server, not the private age

Arperum

@OrigamiRobot I don't know exactly when we'll do that, that's up to Jochem to decide when he opens it to the public :)

@OrigamiRobot We're still experimenting a bit to see what works. (alternative terraingeneration and the like)

FAE

@Frank I passed that link on to a friend of mine who's active on the Robert Space Industries forum (the one who's spent $2,500 on Star Citizen) and he posted it there for visibility. :)

Wipqozn

$2,500...? My word...

OrigamiRobot

@Arperum I really want to start from the beginning on a FtB server. Having all the machines and stuff instantly at my disposal really took away a big chunk of the fun. That said, it was still a lot of fun.

Arperum

6:21 PM

@OrigamiRobot Oh, don't be afraid, we'll start out new too :)

Kevin van der Velden

I kinda want to build a base with other people

Arperum

And I like working in coop, so I'd say, the more people working together, the more fun.

Kevin van der Velden

Rather than a seperate ase

base*

Coronus

@KevinvanderVelden I was just thinking this the other day.

Kevin van der Velden

Also, in related news: Rotarycraft extractor is awesome (and probably OP)

Well.. no it's not OP

it's slow and really expensive to create power for

Arperum

6:23 PM

@Coronus I think this is going to end up with one huge base with everyone working on it. That sounds awesome.

Coronus

@Arperum That does sound fun. My only concern is that I would never be around when other people are.

Arperum

@Coronus What timezone are you?

Coronus

Pacific, -8 I think.

Kevin van der Velden

@Coronus we could play together in the weekends I suppose

SaintWacko

That would be fun

I'm -6

FAE

6:30 PM

@Coronus You're -9 from us

SaintWacko

I prefer Hexxit, though

FAE

@KevinvanderVelden -9 is so hard. :( It's just the right amount of time that if either of you have work or school, you pretty much never see each other if you both have normal circadian rhythms.

Kevin van der Velden

@FAE hence weekends, 19 for us, 10 for him

kalina

what game are you talking about?

Coronus

@FAE Yeah, I rarely saw Jochem on the server during the week.

FAE

6:32 PM

@kalina Minecraft.

OrigamiRobot

@Arperum I like having a project everyone contributes to, but I also like people having their own things. I really wanted to be able to say "I need X. Will someone give me X in exchange for Y." and the answer be something other than "I've already got plenty of both. Here, just have some of my extra X."

FAE

@Coronus Yeah, he goes to sleep around 12:30ish our time, so that's 3:30ish yours, which I imagine is before you're home from work/school/what have you.

Kevin van der Velden

@OrigamiRobot And noone replying "BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES"

kalina

@FAE shudder

Kevin van der Velden

That person usually being me

OrigamiRobot

6:33 PM

@KevinvanderVelden Bees are the worst!

/grump

Kevin van der Velden

@OrigamiRobot bees are awesome! I had millions of every resource :D

Arperum

@OrigamiRobot True, for me and Jochem, that'd be our map, I'd love to have other people build something alike :)

SaintWacko

I once knew a guy who made a silverfish grinder

Arperum

@KevinvanderVelden You are insane. And your bees were murderous beasts.

SaintWacko

It spawned hundreds of silverfish and stored them up

Kevin van der Velden

6:34 PM

@Arperum only some of them!

OrigamiRobot

@FAE @kalina can't handle Minecraft.

It's too big for her.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@KevinvanderVelden BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE‌EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSS

9

Coronus

@OrigamiRobot Yes, this. I think a combined base with collaborative projects while leaving people their own space is the best.

SaintWacko

The first time he activated it, a message came across the server from him "oh, shit". Next thing we see is "so and so was killed by a silverfish"

kalina

@OrigamiRobot ~~Nothing is too b~~ I... am not rising to this.

2

Arperum

6:35 PM

@KevinvanderVelden They nearly ate me when I came visiting your basething.

SaintWacko

@kalina I think @OrigamiRobot is

Kevin van der Velden

@Arperum you angered the fire bees!

That base was fun :) I still have a copy of it I think

Arperum

@KevinvanderVelden By being alive. Tell these freaks that being alive is allowed!

OrigamiRobot

@SaintWacko Too overt. SHUT IT DOWN!

LessPop_MoreFizz

@kalina I am pretty sure this qualifies as rising to the bait.

Kevin van der Velden

6:36 PM

@Arperum I did! After you nearly died I tweaked their DNA a tiny bit

kalina

@LessPop_MoreFizz no.

Coronus

@Arperum No, by not being a bee. Alive is fine.

FEichinger

@kalina cough cough

kalina

@FEichinger no.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@kalina yes.

kalina

6:37 PM

no.

SaintWacko

@LessPop_MoreFizz no.

FEichinger

@kalina I didn't say anything!

kalina

inb4

LessPop_MoreFizz

@kalina yes.

kalina

@FEichinger you're right, the word "anything" does not appear in that which you posted.

@LessPop_MoreFizz I feel we're stuck in an infinite loop break

FAE

6:41 PM

@kalina Your size queen status is already well documented here.

kalina

@FAE they're lies, all lies I tell you

Kevin van der Velden

Also, for any minecrafter wanting to build an MFR treefarm: Add a quartz upgrade and you don't need to worry about fertilizer :|

I have 3 harvesters with quartz upgrade working constantly to keep up ><

FEichinger

@FAE Well, that's one way to put it. :P

fredley

@KevinvanderVelden This alone makes me want to play again

Arperum

@KevinvanderVelden ...

Kevin van der Velden

6:43 PM

@Arperum it's only a 19x19 treefarm!

And a third of it is a sugarcane farm even

OrigamiRobot

@KevinvanderVelden My tree farm was the weakest part of my setup.

Arperum

@KevinvanderVelden I nearly forgot where you are the person who has millions of anything. Right.

Kevin van der Velden

@Arperum I don't even have an AE setup yet!

I'm working on that now though

I do have a barrel full of wood and 2 of charcoal because my PC didn't want to turn off last night

Wipqozn

Interesting. MEtal Slug 3 on steam with online multiplayer.

Krazer

@Frank youtube.com/watch?v=Nq0vtCOBwCM

FAE

6:46 PM

@FEichinger I stated no untruths.

FEichinger

@FAE Going off of the same information as you, that is indeed the case.

FAE

It's so happy!

Arperum

@KevinvanderVelden Since we are currently building the maze on forgecraft lite,, we don't even have the option of barrels, and our AE system drains loads of energy.

Yuki

Wait, is everyone jumping on Minecraft again?

Kevin van der Velden

@Yuki mostly everyone is talking about it again

FAE

6:56 PM

23 hours of wakefulness. A few more to go.

fredley

ALL MODS ALL THE TIME

Kevin van der Velden

@FAE resetting your sleeping schedule?

FEichinger

@fredley Huh, did that just enter Commitment?

FAE

@KevinvanderVelden yeah

fredley

@FEichinger Yup

FAE

6:58 PM

@KevinvanderVelden I've had about 13 hours of sleep since Sunday.

FEichinger

@fredley Enjoy the referral.

Kevin van der Velden

@FAE that's... not a lot

fredley

@FEichinger Cheers!

OrigamiRobot

@Arperum No barrels? D:

fredley

I've referred in 92k rep already!

Arperum

7:00 PM

@OrigamiRobot Monster has them, Forgecraft lite is a challenge pack, no barrels, AE costs multiplied and the like.

Kevin van der Velden

@OrigamiRobot no barrels is horrible :|

OrigamiRobot

I don't know if I want to play with no barrels...

Yuki

@fredley So, mods of this SE would be called...?

Arperum

@OrigamiRobot Jochem's erver will have them for sure.

fredley

@Yuki MODERATOR MODERATORS

OrigamiRobot

7:01 PM

Oh, ok. Good.

RedRiderX

CVS stores to stop selling tobacco

Unionhawk

@Arperum Meh. I can accept no barrels with AE/Logistics pipes.

fredley

@RedRiderX You have pharmacies that sell tobacco?

Unionhawk

@fredley Yes.

RedRiderX

Hey this is CVS in America.

OrigamiRobot

7:03 PM

@Unionhawk I don't think I ever did any AE stuff.

Arperum

@Unionhawk Forgecraft light is pretty rough to start out. Monster is a normal pack though, so it has ALL the things :)

kalina

lol... pharmacies in America sell cigarettes?

Arperum

@OrigamiRobot AE is fun, I learned about it on this server.

kalina

only in America...

Unionhawk

@OrigamiRobot It's weird and complex. I liked LP better back in 1.2.5.

@kalina Ayup.

Kevin van der Velden

7:04 PM

@Unionhawk logistics pipes? That's in the newer versions to

And it's quite awesome

OrigamiRobot

What's the one with pneumatic tubes?

FEichinger

@kalina "tradition"

Unionhawk

@KevinvanderVelden I am aware. Haven't really played with it.

Kevin van der Velden

@OrigamiRobot that'd be RP (Redpower)

Unionhawk

@OrigamiRobot Redpower. I think there's a replacement for it somewhere.

Yuki

7:04 PM

Granted pharmacy chains in the US (Walgreen's, CVS, etc.) are kinda half pharmacy and half corner store.

OrigamiRobot

@KevinvanderVelden Yea, that's the one I really liked.

Unionhawk

Since the developer has fallen off the face of the earth.

Apparently.

Kevin van der Velden

@Unionhawk project red

Unionhawk

Yeah, that.

Kevin van der Velden

And jeah there's been no communication from her since... 1.5?

Unionhawk

7:05 PM

At least, yeah.

OrigamiRobot

As long as I can power my base with Biomass, I'm fine.

Kevin van der Velden

@OrigamiRobot you can indeed

James

Soooooooo Today I grant upon you all this momentary grin for you to think about as the day progresses

OrigamiRobot

I know Biofuel is more efficient, but Biomass is green and that is important to me.

FAE

@KevinvanderVelden No, 'tis not.

Fluttershy

7:07 PM

@James He's happy because he doesn't have to share his hedge.

Kevin van der Velden

@OrigamiRobot seems legit

@James HE HAS A LITTLE DERP FACE :3

James

@Fluttershy Do not forget he also has a little hat! :)

@KevinvanderVelden Yes he does :D

Kevin van der Velden

@James also it's like 8pm so there's not much progress left to this day =p

Yuki

@OrigamiRobot I thought they were the same?

Kevin van der Velden

@Yuki biofuel is another processing step

James

7:09 PM

@KevinvanderVelden Oh, you should ignore this picture until tomorrow then!

@KevinvanderVelden Forestry!?

Kevin van der Velden

@James I'll just look at reddit.com/r/rats

@James yes, minecraft :)

James

@KevinvanderVelden Yeah Bio Fuel is Bio Mass through a still or refinery but not really useful to Forestry itself

Unionhawk

Great, now you guys got me to download the Horizons pack. I HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY

Ah well. At least I'm being pressured into a not-cost-money game, versus a cost-money one.

MBraedley

> TODAY'S WHAT-IF ARTICLE WILL BE POSTED WEDNESDAY INSTEAD OF TUESDAY. SORRY FOR THE DELAY!

James

I am running a server with Pixelmon, Forestry, RailCraft, BiblioCraft and grudgingly Thermal Expansion

MBraedley

7:11 PM

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

James

The focus is Pixelmon though

Unionhawk

(and by that I mean it's a whole new game, not that I have a pirated version)

James

Horizon is just a set of mods @Unionhawk

Unionhawk

@James Yes I know

James

You still have to own Minecraft but you dont have to buy it again

Unionhawk

7:13 PM

I mean not-cost-money as in minecraft-is-still-cost-money-but-i-already-have-it

@LessPop_MoreFizz Weirdly enough, a friend of mine from the other side of internet just mentioned to me that he hates mint as well (though it doesn't burn like it does for you). He said that he uses Crest Cinnamon, which grocery stores will have once in a while, but said it's pretty available on Amazon.

Unionhawk

7:15 PM

Really? Crest all kinds is available here. is in Cincinnati, home of P&G

Powerlord

RedRiderX

It looks more orange to me

James

@FAE Cinnamon... is not meant to be a toothpaste :O

FAE

@Unionhawk I dunno, said friend lives in Illinois, maybe they just don't get the cinnamon flavor often there.

@James Some people can't stand mint.

GnomeSlice

7:17 PM

James

@FAE I understand.. but there is bubblegum flavour for those people? :)

(I used to be one but I stepped up to mint eventually)

Yuki

@Unionhawk So... Fox goes "quack, quack, quack"?

@James Which may like... ruin normal bubblegum for people.

Unionhawk

@Yuki I guess.

Best quote ever!

@OrigamiRobot That was why we included it.. We got rid of some of the machines but we kept the flobs, just for giggles

Kevin van der Velden

7:22 PM

@James flobs filled with UU matter!

OrigamiRobot

UU matter is the worst.

James

@KevinvanderVelden Nah, mostly liquefied ender so you hit people and they teleport :)

But we turned off Pyrotheum and Lava

Kevin van der Velden

@James aah! those are the best

7:24 PM

GnomeSlice

Wow, that's actually pretty awesome.

Sterno

I just spent an hour snowblowing a path from my driveway to the main street about half a mile away

Kevin van der Velden

@James hmm jeah than probably not the best idea

Sterno

I got a lot of weird looks

Kevin van der Velden

jars filled with radioactive bees are quite nice though

FAE

7:25 PM

@Sterno Woo!

Sterno

@Powerlord Tell us how you really feel.

Unionhawk

Sterno

2 cars passed. Both thanked me for doing it. One got stuck when it hit and unplowed area and I helped it out. 6 trucks passed. The two that said anything but made comments to the effect of me being crazy.

The sad part is, the main roads are perfect.

James

@KevinvanderVelden Indeed

It has been a ton of fun though

Working on putting together my group of pokemon for the next tourney

FAE

@Sterno In the house I grew up in, our house was the last one that the county would stop snowplowing for. The road continued, but it turned into a smaller road that apparently didn't count. Thing is, there were still people who lived there. My dad got a snowplow for one of his trucks so that he could keep it clear for people in the winter.

James

7:28 PM

**pixelmon I mean

FAE

They would literally clear in front of our driveway, then stop and turn around and leave.

Sterno

@FAE If I had a truck, I would do this.

@FAE What pissed me off was seeing one guy driving by, plow on the front of his truck, but raised in the air

FAE

@Sterno I lived on a lakeshore and there were a lot of houses that were seasonal only. But there were still some year round residents, like us and some other neighbors.

@Sterno Ugh, what the hell.

Jason Berkan

People around here will actually hire companies to plow their sidestreets, as the city only focuses on the main streets.

Sterno

@FAE That's crappy.

@JasonBerkan I just moved into this house, but I'm betting that's the case here, and I'm betting it's an HOA thing. But I'm not sure.

FAE

7:29 PM

@Sterno Yeah. And sometimes they "plowed" in such a way it'd block the end.

Sterno

We've had a ton of snow this year so maybe they're out of budget.

Jason Berkan

I bought a house on a bus route, so my street gets graded within 24 hours of any snowfall.

Unionhawk

@Sterno Maybe. Some people might not be a fan of having plows wake them up, and would rather the roads be crap.

FAE

@Unionhawk These people are dumb.

Unionhawk

@FAE Well yes

But dumb people exist.

I know, you're all shocked. Get back in your chairs and take some deep breaths.

Sterno

7:33 PM

@Unionhawk This area seems full of middle-aged, working professionals. I'm betting they'd all rather be able to get to work.

Unionhawk

@Sterno Well I don't know then.

Probably to do with resources.

GnomeSlice

gimme

Wipqozn

@JasonBerkan That's just not right.

Streets are provincial property and the province should be responsible for fixing it.

A privately owned street is a different story, though.

Yuki

Oh hey, I found something interesting, @AshleyNunn, too bad I can't show it to you because you haven't seen Frozen yet.

Wipqozn

@Yuki I feel like I've seen you say this before.

Yuki

7:44 PM

@Wipqozn A few times.

I told @AshleyNunn I'd keep saying that every time I found particular cool Frozen-related stuff until she watched it.

Wipqozn

@Yuki Can I join in after I see the movie tomorroW?

Yuki

I have it in Notepad for quick copy-paste along with a record of everything cool I found.

@Wipqozn Sure.

FAE

@Yuki ...lol

Wipqozn

@Yuki yay!

Jason Berkan

@Wipqozn City property, actually and the city does plow residential streets, but they are the absolute last thing on the list. If another snowfall occurs before they get to the residential, they start back at the top of the list.

Wipqozn

7:48 PM

@JasonBerkan Oh, that's okay then.

Mana

@LessPop_MoreFizz The new Sun Kil Moon album is really good!

Wipqozn

I thought you meant they just never did it.

Jason Berkan

@Wipqozn Some years they never do, if we get enough snowfalls.

Or it gets graded once in March, right before the snow melts.
