Terrarcraft (Minecraft/Terraria and such)

[bold hazel]

Absolutely yes.

I'd be doing it through curseforge but it's a full modpack

[wheat helm]

is the modpack on forge, neoforge, or fabric?

(if it has multiple, you should go for fabric)

[bold hazel]

I am not sure.

[wheat helm]

can you link the modpack?

[bold hazel]

https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/modpacks/reclamation-reclaim-the-world

[wheat helm]

ok

reclamation is a couple things

1. the most recent game version it runs on is 1.20.1
2. it uses the forge mod loader

that's important info that we can use to sort things out

[bold hazel]

I have barely thought about minecraft for years, but recently found a playthrough of Reclamation and it made me want to play, and some other people here expressed potential interest and it seems like it'd be fun to do multiplayer.

The last time I played was Regrowth, and this is a spiritual successor to that pack. It hurts to lose Thaumcraft, but overall it looks better.

[wheat helm]

https://hub.tcno.co/games/minecraft/1.20/server/forge/

here's a tutorial for making a forge server

https://blog.campfirehosting.com/2024/02/19/how-to-start-a-forge-minecraft-server-and-install-mods/ this is a solid tutorial for getting the forge stuff to your client (which you should also do)

but it cheaps out on tutorializing how to do the server

so I'd recommend following the instructions from the second link and making sure you can get the modpack working on just a single-player world first (steps 1 to 4 in that guide)

and then go to the first link, which tutorializes setting up and running the server

[bold hazel]

I'd been doing everything through the automagic curseforge launcher which makes things Just Work.

[wheat helm]

oh, fair

it might have something for that! i haven't used it since my mods are a tricky pile to use

this will probably take a couple hours for you to get the server up, anyway (accounting for troubleshooting things)

and once you do, you can have people just join on it using your IP address any time it's running

[bold hazel]

Probably. I mostly just need to read through things carefully, and then take a look at things in the morning. There is a button labeled "download server pack" which is promising, though.

...also I'm really bad at building decent houses, and somehow I doubt that all the many house-building blocks added (like Cooking for Blockheads) will directly fix that.

[lapis parcel]

I may also recommend Oracle as a server hosting option - I have a vanilla server with friends on there (or well… vanilla with optimization mods) and it does well. No idea if the hardware in their always free offerings is good enough for a bigger modpack like Reclamation.

[bold hazel]

no idea. As mentioned: I know so little about all of this.

[lapis parcel]

I think my other big pieces of advice for Minecraft servers is that if you can’t have near-constant play (and you probably can’t after the first few days), the next best thing is to treat it as a scheduled event, like a TTRPG game.

And also for modded, you won’t be able to patch out exploits and ways to make PvP/griefing unfun, just find players who won’t abuse them.

[lapis parcel]

I think they’re fine??? Just assign enough ram and try not to kill the server with the standard lag issues of giant constantly running farms, too many entities, and similar? Uhh… I know nothing about managing a server with more of the lag intensive stuff like farms, create contraptions and redstone stuff, or giant numbers of villagers.

[bold hazel]

Yeah, I'd be playing with a few people from this server, not making the whole thing public. And the scheduling thing seems appropriate, seeing as how that's killed Terraria playthroughs of mine.

[wheat helm]

servers with a couple people are generally fine to run on your computer and will have better settings than any of the free server hosts

[bold hazel]

probably, yes. If they aren't too laggy. I will need to figure out the details.

[lapis parcel]

True. Oracle's weird since it's just fully a linux VM, not a specialized minecraft host.

So it's basically the deep end in terms of server hosting, though a lot less bad if you know SSH stuff.

Ugh, resource I used was deleted.

[bold hazel]

I... theoretically should but in practice don't.

[lapis parcel]

https://blogs.oracle.com/developers/post/how-to-setup-and-run-a-free-minecraft-server-in-the-cloud Here's a older but still mostly good version.

[bold hazel]

...currently intimidating myself looking at what can be done with Create.

not seriously, just casually observing it in a playthrough, and just knowing I'm going to use it wrong.

[ancient estuary]

Tbh, while the ceiling on create is super high, it's very hard to use wrong. If you spend some time using its built-in documentation (the Ponder mechanic) you can learn almost everything you need to know. Just budget more space than you think you need and you'll probably do alright.

[astral rose]

The only mod I've tried is the Runecraft mod, which doesn't require a modded client.

[bold hazel]

Even if it works, I feel like I'm going to use it decidedly subotimally, just... off of vibes. Even if it's much easier since I can just set up an auto harvester and not even need to worry about replanting (because AgriCraft). And then probably figuring out mystical agriculture to be able to autocraft blocks of coal or charcoal to feed to endoflames? I'm not sure which fuel source would ultimately be best but I know create should be able to do simple autocrafting even if it's from a weird other mod and doesn't neatly qualify as some physical action.

[ancient estuary]

well if you run into problems and start getting frustrated I bet we can help you work something out

[bold hazel]

...part of the problem is that I don't even know what to try to build.

[bold hazel]

If I wished to automate Botania stuff, is there some way to detect when a pure daisy has finished converting a block? Or do I just have to put in a huge delay manually?

[lapis parcel]

Observers probably work.

[lapis parcel]

I wouldn’t worry about optimality.

[astral rose]

I built an automatic kelp block farm in vanilla. It should work.

[bold hazel]

I think that I need to put a lot of time into figuring out minecraft server hosting... but also I ought to just play single-player sometime instead of waiting to play multiplayer because I know myself and if I wait I'll get bogged down in other stuff and it'll never happen.

[bold hazel]

I'm going to play and stream Reclamation in a few minutes if anyone wants to watch.

...if minecraft can launch for me. We shall see. (Also, if my earbuds don't die.)

[bold hazel]

I might play (but not stream) some more tonight even though I probably shouldn't? But thus far Reclamation seems fun, other than how I really desperately need copper.

[jade skiff]

Copper being a bit more plentiful would be nice. But when you got past the dirt phase things got real interesting

[wheat helm]

shame it's on 1.20.1

you could get arbitrary amounts of copper so easily in 1.21

[bold hazel]

You can get arbitrary amounts of copper easily in this, too; there's a plant that grows it. It's just that I don't want to start growing new plants until I have the starting seeds perfect, and I don't want to buckle down and perfect the starting seeds until I have a watering can to massively speed things up.

[lapis parcel]

Often you don't want to delay things until it's perfect for them - just jump in and let them grow.

[bold hazel]

The thing is that getting a watering can is going to happen really soon.

like, the moment I get 4 iron ingots, soon.

and I'm about to get iron, though I'm currently uncertain how much.

First, I need to get the iron. That'll take some amount of copper to turn into iron, though I'm unsure how much. Then I need to max out my crops, which takes nothing but sticks and time. Then, once they're all maxed, all the crossbred new species will also be maxed, and that'll save me a ton of time in the future.

The most annoying will be maxing mandrakes, because if you harvest them during the day, they get up and scream at you.

[lapis parcel]

Earmuffs for that.

[bold hazel]

Yes, but those take wool, which is currently in very short supply.

Probably going to play some more today and probably get the watering can today.

[ember bay]

Ah, Regrowth 2

I always fell off because of how much time I spent waiting on perfect seeds. Might be worth going through again and just rushing all the seeds. Having 18 seeds I'm all maxing out at least is more engaging

[bold hazel]

Yeah, it basically is Regrowth 2.

But the theory is that I can max out 6 seeds and then never have to worry about maxing out seeds again (until I get to magical agriculture, and those can be kind of bootstrapped).

I might play and stream it sometime today if you want to watch.

[ember bay]

I remember in Regrowth crossbreeding would max out the new seed at 5/5/5, so that wasn't foolproof. Not sure if this pack is different

[bold hazel]

In this, seeds have dominant and recessive genes, rather than a single stat.

so if you breed two perfect plants, you get a perfect child, I think.

[ember bay]

Ah

It's bees

Depending on how that works, it still might be better to get a single perfect plant and then cross breed that with every other plant you want to get perfect

What mod is this?

[ancient estuary]

I think he's going through the Reclamation modpack

[rancid spire]

i know i have genesis donwloaded

no idea how it compares

[ember bay]

I know the modpack, I meant the specific mod for plant breeding if it isn't Agricraft

Ok, it is Agricraft actually, so it entirely depends on if the modpack configured that to be allowed for crossbreeds

[ancient estuary]

ope, sorry about that

[bold hazel]

it is agricraft, yes

I'm going through reclamation by which I mean I started yesterday and haven't played yet today.

[bold hazel]

...thinking about doing some late night minecraft & streaming it.

[bold hazel]

randomly playing some more minecraft if anyone wants to hang out in HORUS

orrrr not because my earbuds are almost dead

[bold hazel]

streaming after all

[bold hazel]

It's so funny how resources go from "vanishingly scarce" to "incredibly plentiful" in this modpack. For a long time I had to scrounge for every bit of copper but now I literally grow it as a plant and I can easily get good amounts. Currently wood is super scarce but I'm about to bring back trees and I'll be able to farm wood (and by extension charcoal). It's just... interesting.

[ember bay]

That's a concept I've been itching for tbh, going through complicated paths to get access to a resource, but once you have the resource it unlocks a much simpler process

Makes me think I should try Ultimate Alchemy again

[bold hazel]

Reclamation thus far has been very fun. And, I've just realized, because I have perfected cuprosia plants giving me a ton of copper, I could totally upgrade my watering can. (Also, make iron armor and an iron sword.)

[bold hazel]

The eternal tragedy: there are so many vegetables added, and so many cooking recipes, and yet I crafted a stack of toast once and currently feel very little need to make anything else, besides more toast when that runs out.

That being said, I also need to make a proper house rather than a dirt hut, and when I do I'll also make a proper kitchen, which will make all of this much easier.

[bold hazel]

As it turns out, the mod also adds a toaster. Which can also turn toast into charcoal, hilariously.

[ancient estuary]

I love when kitchen gadgets end up being useful for bizarre contraptions

[bold hazel]

Apparently the sink added by the mod can have water pumped out of it very quickly.

[austere wren]

is it one of those with infinite water in them

[ember bay]

The Pam's/Blockheads Sink is an old trick for an infinite water source. Nuclear reactors cooled by someone leaving the tap on

[bold hazel]

Ironically the tremendous plethora of ways in which I can find new vegetables interests me infinitely less than the various types of flowers I can breed (I found mystical white flower petals already, which is very useful).

[bold hazel]

I'm gonna stream playing a bit more because I'm officially at the point where I need to expand my house and also expand my fencing to fit in more stuff in my base, and I don't know how to best do that so hanging out with other people while I figure it out might help.

(Also, I need to start on a quarry, I think. Because I'll need one eventually, and I need more cobblestone now.)

but also everyone is already in voice calls now?

[bold hazel]

screw it, streaming now in HORUS

[bold hazel]

decided to look up what sea pickles do, since I can farm them. Apparently nothing? They make lime dye?

they're one of many modern vanilla minecraft features which are Kind Of Neat but of baffling actual utility.

[patent root]

they're also a natural looking underwater light source

[bold hazel]

okay, that's fair. They're nice to find in the world, and just less useful to farm.

[jade skiff]

Minecraft selection of stuff seems random

[rancid spire]

most mod packs are known as kitchen sink packs

they just sorta throw stuff in

[ancient estuary]

Tbf, sea pickles are vanilla.

[bold hazel]

I'm watching someone else play Reclamation and, humorously, it turns out that the staple food might pivot from toast to avocado toast.

[ancient estuary]

minecraft truly is the millenial fantasy game: you can afford a house and avocado toast

[bold hazel]

although I might not do the same.

[lapis parcel]

Please, not all of us can afford a house. I’m a proud squatter/lawn-living type.

[mint canyon]

https://www.rxddit.com/r/feedthememes/comments/1fw20cc/why_did_i_pick_up_a_door/

[lapis parcel]

At least for doors I feel like they tend to come from the recipe making 3, so I end up with 2 after making my first hovel.

[split epoch]

why does the recipe make 3

[lapis parcel]

To not make it horrifically expensive when crafting a bunch for a larger project.

[split epoch]

is that actually the reason? huh. the more you know.

[safe oracle]

ok
y'know what

we deserve a slightly fluffier modpack than Gregtech New Horizons to enjoy

reclamation time

[mint canyon]

anyone knows any survival focused mods?

[wise owl]

https://modrinth.com/mod/thirst-was-taken/versions
this one is a pretty good thirst mod WITH create integration for water filters

https://modrinth.com/mod/spice-of-life-apple-pie-edition
and this is my prefered take on a 'Spice of Life' mod

[safe oracle]

honestly, speaking as someone coming off of gregtech
just being able to have a stack of toast in our inventory is so god damn nice

the mental load of meal prep was invisible until it was off our back

[bold hazel]

Yeah, Reclamation has a lot of foods, and also a lot of the time I just make a stack of toast and I'm satisfied. Which makes the absurd plethora of vegetables I could be growing... a bit redundant.

I think I might attempt to figure out multiplayer and make another world with someone, so I can sort of start over on the world and start right, and also because that way someone else can help with base building.

Also, bees. I've put off bees for too long.

[safe oracle]

Bees.

You can run from bees but you can't escape how useful they are.

[bold hazel]

I do not fully understand how to interact with them but I put it off and it was a mistake.

it's also kind of funny that the cozy apocalypse farming pack also includes blood magic, though.

I... guess... creating a Well of Suffering to drain the souls of mobs is also like farming, kind of?

[safe oracle]

if you wanna make a well of suffering you're going to want some specific mobs to fuel it

wdk how feasible it is for you to, like. get the mobs in question though.

(name tagged witches or withers)

[bold hazel]

the alternatives are either getting spawners from the demon room and using a cardboard box to transport them, or using the botania regeneration incense stick (or... possibly something else?) to top the mobs up.

[safe oracle]

generally you want to be keeping a stock of regenerating animals instead of regenerating your stock of animals

also make sure you load the chunks, especially if you're using witches

the well will keep damaging them while you're away, but their healing won't be consistent

[bold hazel]

The modpack can keep chunks loaded via map (I forget how).

the ingame map, not the map item.

[candid dock]

its an old one but it still checks out https://plus.terrafirmacraft.com/Main_Page

[ember bay]

Trying out Core Keeper again and...I think I just really don't like it. A lot of the game design feels baffling to me and it's just frustrating

[ancient estuary]

I played a bit of that a while ago, and I think what was pulling me along was playing in parallel with friends, comparing notes, showing off bases, etc. I picked it up again for a bit last month and had a similar feeling. Less frustrating (I knew my way around the underexplained systems), but not as compelling

[ember bay]

That's about what I'd expect that it is mostly fun with friends, but that's damned by faint praise imo. It's hard to have an activity that isn't fun with friends.

Some of the things I'm experiencing that feel bad or annoying:

• The skill system has 100 levels per skill, but you only get perk points (spent on noticeable improvements) every 5 levels, so levels feel mostly empty and padded
• You get 25 perk points in total (5 at 100), but there are 8 perks with 5 levels each, so you can't max out the tree, which forces selective picking
• You can't level a perk until the one before it is maxed, so you can't actually level a combat perk that isn't "do more damage" until level 30. This also hard limits your build as you can't put "wonder points" on perks you don't want to level

Perks in general seem...uninteresting? There's nothing that stands out as particularly game changing or cool, just percentages and slight buffs

Speaking of, personal opinion, but I hate benefits that are percentage based, like "X% to Stun". I'm not a gambler and it never feels good when it activates. Give me a counter instead

Several skills (mostly combat) only gain XP at a rate of 1 per action (like 1 XP per attack) regardless of damage or effect. This just causes the Skyrim Blacksmithing problem where there's no point to leveling with better gear because it doesn't provide any value and might actively hinder you

[ancient estuary]

there are some big impactful skills, but they're a) pretty late in each tree and b) mostly good because they just make your numbers rocket up. like, anything that increases food, crop, or fish rarity turns into a multiplicative buff. that's sort of cool! but you're still mostly cooking the same ingredients, now you're just grinding for gold crops without the positive feedback of getting Gardening levels

[ember bay]

Yeah I immediately installed the mod that lets you max out the tree at level 100 because, despite my criticism, it didn't feel like there was a real choice in buildcraft

Like, there are obvious correct answers

[ancient estuary]

I don't mind that as much, except that I can never tell how much grinding is an intended part of the difficulty curve. Whenever I've played I've consistently showed up at boss fights at a lower level than people on forums

[ember bay]

I think 1 XP per action is only fine if there isn't XP scaling

So that you are gaining levels at a consistent rate

It still means the system can be easily exploited, but so can the typical format

I'm guessing there is scaling XP though, since other skills do gain extra XP, like Vitality

[ancient estuary]

it looks like each skill has a different progression. some are linear like melee combat https://core-keeper.fandom.com/wiki/Melee_combat#Experience_requirements but vitality takes more for each level https://core-keeper.fandom.com/wiki/Vitality

[ember bay]

Difficulty feels like it immediately spikes once you leave the starting area and I don't understand why. Maybe I'm bad at this, but the enemies in the caves and clay areas are way stronger than in the center by an unreasonable margin

[ancient estuary]

it's pretty spiky. I think part of the expectation is that you'll grind out new armor and a couple of different meals to get your stats up

[ember bay]

I also can't tell if the game intends for me to remove the spawning tiles

[ancient estuary]

dealer's choice. I'd save them if you have space since you can make a farm if you need drops

[ember bay]

I should probably use those to set up farms at my base

Yeah

[ancient estuary]

mob farming is a little fucky, so if you want info on how it works: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2846860078

[ember bay]

I kind of hate the hunger system here? Because it's present enough that you can't ignore it, but doesn't do enough to actually be meaningful

Also your character gets hungry so fast

[ancient estuary]

it's a side effect of running (i.e. moving at all) eating your hunger

it's rough for sure, it definitely pushes you towards a kind of centralizing strategy of building giant crop fields and then cooking a thousand meals to never go hungry again

[ember bay]

I remember when Quick Stack to Chest was a mod for this game

Unbelievable it took that long to get added. Over time I've started to see that less as a QoL feature and more "your game should have this"

[ancient estuary]

yyyyyeah. I'm getting my survival fix right now by playing Enshrouded with a group of friends, and the lack of stack to chest is pretty egregious. It's nice that they have "magic chests" you can craft from anywhere on base, at least.

[ember bay]

Maybe I should drop Core Keeper and try out Necesse

[austere wren]

i was considering trying Core Keeper cause it has a crossover with Abiotic Factor but it sounds like that may not be the best idea

[ancient estuary]

I don't think it's a bad game, but it's sort of on the like...flash game spectrum? of survival game. it's cute, it's cheap, it's got some good ideas and some bad ones, it's got some basic...2d Zelda-y combat? It really depends what you're looking for, and what puts you off of a game.

[austere wren]

ic ic

probably not my scene regardless then

[rancid spire]

abotic factor is an amazing survail game

and im still going to recomend people look into vintagestory if they want a simlar fix to minecraft

if you liked abotic factor grounded might be worth looking too

as its the other survial game thats more structued and less about random gen

maybe objective based survial would be agood way to decribe grounded and abotic factor

[austere wren]

mhm

[candid dock]

and if you want abiotic without the rpg or crafting elements, but with the multiplayer and retro graphics try sven coop

[spice iris]

It's not a very fun game

I played it with sukispawn and it was meh

[candid dock]

It's crossover in abiotic factor is kinda fun

[bold hazel]

it also has a terraria crossover but I only know about the terraria half of it, which is a very ugly pet.

[candid dock]

Also as a random aside every time I hear "core keeper" I think it's some dungeon keeper spin off

[brisk tangle]

How ugly?

Bananatron (She/He (Mix it up)) ↩️

[Reply to:](#1164561470453981184 message) it also has a terraria crossover but I only know about the terraria half of it, which is a very ugly…

[ancient estuary]

https://terraria.wiki.gg/wiki/Glow_Tulip

[brisk tangle]

That's kind of adorable actually 👀

[bold hazel]

I swear, it looks better on the wiki than than in the actual game.

[austere wren]

Oh yeah Abiotics crossover also has Glow Tulips

[bold hazel]

I want to play Minecraft with someone but can't set up my own multiplayer... mostly just so I can spend all my time doing the Little Fiddly Bits like plant crossbreeding (and probably bees, since I need to learn those) and have someone else do the larger-scale stuff and the architectural design which I always suck at.

...I am vividly imagining a crusty old man shouting "leave me to my beans!" and I don't know where that mental image is coming from but it accurately sums up my desire to do The Fiddly Bits.

[patent root]

https://modrinth.com/mod/combat-shovels finally, whacking someone with a shovel

it even has funny bonk sounds

[bold hazel]

strange questions: how do minecraft signs work? Like, can you stick arbitrary unicode on them?

[bold hazel]

I really want to play Reclamation with someone but can't readily host for multiplayer and don't know who to play with... but the more I look at playthroughs of it, the more I want to play it, but not solo (I played solo for a bit and burnt out but it'd be better with someone else to chat with and to help with stuff like architecture).

[bold hazel]

...I just discovered the mod for compatibility between AE and Create storage systems, and... help, I already have Ideas for how to use it. I hope it's in Reclamation...

[bold hazel]

...I might have to get into single-player again and slog through some of the less-interesting stuff because I need to see if frogports exist, and if so, I could totally use them with an endoflame system.

[patent root]

man i wonder if i have to redownload curseforge just to port reclamation over to modrinth

[bold hazel]

modrinth?

[patent root]

yea, another modding website/launcher for minecraft

just rather not mess around with curseforge much

[bold hazel]

yeah curseforge is... not ideal, but it is simple to use for the most part, and I'm lazy.

[ember bay]

I believe several launchers now can download curseforge packs without needing to visit the site

[bold hazel]

...anyway if anyone wants to do multiplayer reclamation ping me. I can make good farms and set them up and I think I at least understand how frogports work so I can do at least one kind of mass storage, and probably i can do AE too (and even combine them if that create addon exists)

[bold hazel]

Hm. I'm watching various playthroughs of it to see what I missed (rather than just logging on myself because ???) and it seems to me like there's too many ways to get more mystical flowers? Like, you can crossbreed them or grow them from seed or just grow them from petals with bone meal to be able to freely duplicate any that you have at least one of, and you don't even need that many to begin with.

[safe oracle]

you could check the modlist

[bold hazel]

I should but, consider: I am lazy.

(I will check the mod list)

...dangit they don't seem to have the Create/AE compatability addon (which I forget the name of, but the only create addons I can see are Central Kitchen and Copycats+)

I mean. I can still just use the Create storage system. But it'd be really cool if I could have a steam engine powering a bunch of auto farms, use frogports to transport the items from those auto farms, and then be able to easily access those items automagically for auto crafting via AE.

Oh no. I just discovered packages use regular expressions. ...I'm not sure why you'd want to use regular expression to do something complicated with a package... like, I guess it's a way to send packages which might show up at any of several outputs, depending on how the regular expressions work?

[lapis parcel]

Route a package through say a mailbox and then into a frog port network on the other end, for example.

So for example a factory might have a single mailbox for trains to drop off, send those packages into a frog ports system, and then maybe brass funnels finally split them into different vaults.

[bold hazel]

...I think I understand? I was wrong about which step of the process regexes were applied to, I think.

[lapis parcel]

I don’t know if regexes on packages themselves do anything, it’s mostly for filtering based on package name that I’ve seen.

[bold hazel]

ohhhh. Okay. I misunderstood packages, in part due to misunderstanding trains (which are cool, but seem like overkill... although, then again, the same could be said of Create as a whole).

[lapis parcel]

The magic of trains is that they don’t need to worry about chunk loading. That and they’re pretty/fun to ride in.

[bold hazel]

Hm. Maybe I should mess with them at some point? ...eh, I'm more likely to try to make a mass logistics system.

[lapis parcel]

In practice the stations usually need to be loaded, just so that stuff can get loaded on and off, but technically trains and mailboxes work in unloaded chunks.

They don’t have a ton of use if everything is located in one single megafactory, that’s true. Much better if the modpack has un-movable locations where stuff needs to get collected.

[bold hazel]

good point. I can definitely imagine that happening. ...can trains go into and out of the Nether?

[lapis parcel]

Yes, and a few other random dimension mods.

(Aether, some others I remember from when I glanced at the code.)

[bold hazel]

Fair, although I'm thinking primarily in terms of Reclamation and trying to figure out what potential use they might have and the closest I can come up with is "setting up a liquid pump to get infinite lava from the lava sea, and a train to carry it back to the overworld to use on a steam engine or something" (it might be easier to just make blocks of charcoal for the burners instead)

[lapis parcel]

That’s a fun option. There’s also mass item transport in a large factory, mob farm item transport, and finally, just to have trains.

[bold hazel]

yeah. I just worry that riding around on chain belts could also be more fun than riding a train.

[lapis parcel]

Lava I tend to see use a bucket loop through a nether portal, or just filling an infinite lake in the overworld. But a lava delivery train is very stylish!

[bold hazel]

well, I don't know 90% of the options available to me via Create, so I'm coming up with bad solutions. The actual best solution in the Reclamation pack might be using earth and fire essence to craft lava. ...keeping a steam engine auto-fired seems tricky no matter what you do. Although I'm pretty sure I know how to set up a system to automatically keep endoflames going, probably with either a redstone requester or just making it so blocks of coal are tied to a hopper inventory?

[bold hazel]

...it is very funny that, for all the things Create has made complicated, one thing that would be interesting to make into a complicated crafting chain is stymied by the fact that cows just drop magically fully-treated leather and that leather is an early-game material as a result.

[ancient estuary]

The classic trick with create is that (unless the mod pack disables it) you can make an infinite lava reservoir wherever you want...if you have enough lava to start with. For vanilla+create that means either importing from the nether, collecting multiple smaller lava lakes from the overworld, and/or dripstone farming

[rancid spire]

i think crafting for the sake of crafting can be fun when it strikes the correct balance but gregtech has never seemed like that

[bold hazel]

You can (I think) but that seems like a pain honestly. That’s what it boils down to.

[ancient estuary]

It's pretty annoying, yeah. Dripstone can be self-expanding to speed things up (but will eat a lot of iron in cauldrons). I think it's probably better to just make a minecart contraption with a pump and tanks and drop that whenever you find a big lava deposit (but that means a lot of AFK time).

Basically comes down to whether easy + boring + slow wins out over engaging with other fuel sources

[candid dock]

i think crafting purely for the sake of crafting just feels bad.

like if you imagine all the machines and crafting components as the stem of plant and all the armor and tools and directly useful things as leaves, greg tech has always felt like one of those 60' trees that only have leaves at the top and i more like pine trees

i'm fine if i need machine A B and C to make items X Y and Z to make machines D E and F but something in ABC better get me something shiny and DEF better give me better or new shiny

the original gregtech mods were what drove me to figure out stock keeping with ae

though i will say fancy animatmated multiblock structures, or machines that do what a previous machine does but better get a bit of wiggle room

[rancid spire]

i liked using a lava trip furnace design

i had one ireally liked i don't have a picture of offhand

but it was vanilla

it looked nice

[bold hazel]

...you know what sometimes feels like "crafting for the sake of crafting"? Cooking mods. They're elaborate, but without some kind of nutrition/food variety system, there's basically no reason to eat anything other than toast.

[bold hazel]

...mostly I think what I want is someone else to help with the large-scales architectural building and to appreciate the work I put into setting up useful systems.

...also I'm bad at really large-scale builds but I'm tempted to try to make some kind of like... botanical museum which contains a little plot of every single growable plant in this mod. Either little neat plots, or artificial biomes (like grouping all the underwater stuff, or making a little fake cave with multiple kinds of mushroom, or stuff like that).

[astral rose]

I feel like nothing really beats Runecraft yet.

[ember bay]

Runecraft?

[astral rose]

https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/runecraft.39771/

[candid dock]

odd it says it goes back to the alpha days but is only available for 1.11 and later

[astral rose]

Hmm. I would have to ask where the older versions are.

[safe oracle]

frankly the nutrition/food variety systems feel like more "for the sake of crafting" to us

we'll do it, but it feels a bit like twisting our arm to do it

[bold hazel]

No, I mean... the nutrition systems give you a reason to make diverse foods (some form of reward for doing it or punishment for not doing it). Standard cooking is just like... sure, there's tons of interesting foodstuffs you could make if you felt like it, but why bother?

[safe oracle]

also, as someone who has been playing GTNH (slowly, admittedly), we do feel like each machine we've made has given us a fairly tangible, practical benefit in terms of like. convenience or material efficiency or new production possibilities, which we do guess is kind of like. making machines to make materials to make machines in some sense but it's, like. different

[bold hazel]

I'm not saying those are necessarily good or bad. Just, if they're a problem, they're at least a different problem.

[safe oracle]

...just realizing we could probably create a diamond pick head. that could be nice.

[safe oracle]

fair enough we guess. we do think that's a whole different issue than what was originally being discussed though

[bold hazel]

I think because those are letting you do things better. They take tasks you're already doing and improve them, rather than just being a hoop you jump through in order to nebulously "progress".

Or they're solving problems you already faced, like making gathering food easier. As opposed to simply making machines whose only use is allowing you to make more machines in a chain which you can never tangibly "cash in".

[safe oracle]

yeah we think that makes sense

we've always been a bit of a material efficiency chaser but GTNH has ramped that up hard

[bold hazel]

I wish I wasn't so bad at larger builds and architecture and stuff. Or, alternatively, that I had someone to play with who could help with the larger stuff.

[bold hazel]

...maybe if I play Reclamation again I will try to make a BLT factory.

[wise owl]

bacon lettuce and tomato?

[bold hazel]

the game calls them bacon sandwiches, but yes. I'm not sure exactly how they get made, especially since there's a variation that lets you make an in-progress item version for the aid of factory cooking. But bread, lettuce, and tomatoes are all easy enough to get.

Getting the meat... I'm not sure if it'll ask for pork chops, or for ham, which requires using a knife on pigs. I'm also not sure how to automate pigs.

...and then you can trivially make a machine which flings BLTs as a single target.

...another reason to do multiplayer: if we had separate houses, I could make a machine to fling sea pickles at my neighbor's house, and that thought amuses me.

(I would not actually make a machine to fling sea pickles at someone's house, probably.)

[bold hazel]

My end goal is to be a weird helpful minion whose efforts are appreciated, all without having to make large-scale plans. And I can just dither around with plants and probably Create (and probably multiple other mods) and be appreciated by all the other people who don't have to do those tedious things.

[wise owl]

👀

[wise owl]

iirc the bacon sandwich requires either or, as porkchops can be processed into bacon and Ham can be processed into porkchops (and a bone!)

[wise owl]

I mean, it'd be VERY funny

[bold hazel]

I mean in reclamation it'd be trivially easy to make a sea pickle flinger since you can just grow sea pickles from seeds never mind that in real life sea pickles, or at least the closest equivalents, are animals

I'm watching a thing for farming every food in minecraft to try to figure out how animal meat farms would work, and then I need to figure out the intermediate steps for the Create process, but... yeah this seems pretty easy.

[wise owl]

ooooh

[bold hazel]

Reclamation has Create and that's doing most of the work for this stuff.

[wise owl]

ahh yeah

I've seen some friends play that pack

it looks real cool 👀

especially with the crossbreeding plant stuff it has

[bold hazel]

It is! I greatly enjoy the plant crossbreeding.

...oh create just... adds in a free latch for redstone. I have extremely minimal knowledge of redstone stuff and the tiny bits I do know are stuff like very basic circuit design and more and more of those very basic things I know (comparators and latches, mostly) are just given out for free...

[wise owl]

👀

I barely know how to use redstone in vanilla

so create redstone is untreaded water for me

[bold hazel]

There's very little of it. There's a few things that emit signals, there's a wireless transmitter which is useful for if the thing that's sending the redstone signals is moving, and there's a latch.

The biggest thing I will say, and this is only mostly me being persnickety, is: do not break dead bushes. They're used for a number of things and only drop sticks.

[wise owl]

oooh okay

[bold hazel]

Also the actual more important thing is to max out your six starting crops before you start crossbreeding. It doesn’t take long with a watering can, and it makes life easier. Start with maxing mutativity since it determines stat growth.

[wise owl]

👀

[ember bay]

Apparently GregTech: New Horizons got an update with a new custom mod that's...every performance improvement from future versions backported to 1.7.10

On average, expect three times more FPS than before. Angelica also includes Iris shader support, making Optifine no longer necessary.
These people are wizards

[bold hazel]

I'm thinking about Create in Reclamation, and how Magical Agriculture has a bunch of "essences" that are all crafted into raw materials in the exact same way (a square of eight), and... I wonder if it's possible to make a semi-generic Create autocrafter which takes 8 of any arbitrary input and crafts them into a square, so you could have one autocrafter for making essences into metals.

[ancient estuary]

that should be doable. something like brass funnels depositing stacks of 8 on a conveyor belt into a 3x3 grid with the center crafter disabled via wrench

[safe oracle]

aw fuck

we actually gotta update our GTNH pack 😭

[bold hazel]

I'd probably be doing it via packagers configured to send. ...I really wish Reclamation had the Create/AE compatability mod because that'd be so absurdly good.

Honestly you might want separate autocrafters for each recipe simply to keep up with throughput.

[bold hazel]

The hardest part about Create storage is that there are frogs and one part of me will be tempted to give them funny names, but the other part will say "no, these are programming things, give them useful and descriptive names" and that part will win but it'll still be a tragedy.

[lapis parcel]

You can give them goggles! Useful for marking input/output.

[bold hazel]

Well, I want to set up a chain drive system to link everything together into one big stock network.

But, yes, goggles as a means of marking some could be neat. (Or I thought they could be dyed but maybe that's an addon.)

[safe oracle]

Could you elaborate on this? We're kinda struggling to find details on it.

Also, this is reminding me, in my world with friends, we have a big and flat floored cave next to our homes that I've been converting into industrial space... or I would be if I had ideas for stuff to do in it, and since it's Vanilla, we don't need that many farms.

[ionic iron]

I saw that island

[safe oracle]

what about the crosshair

[ionic iron]

shaders :D

[ember bay]

Yeah so playing Reclamation, this form of Agricraft is significantly less punishing than in Regrowth. There's a dominant/recessive system for genes, but there is no inherent loss when crossbreeding and you can crossbreed without getting a mutation.
Which means you can make a single 10/10/10/10/10 plant and then crossbreed it with everything else to instantly get 10/10/10/10/10

[bold hazel]

I personally got all the base plants to 10/10/10/10/10 on their own, and didn't do the instant crossbreed trick (though I would have done it for essence plants), but yeah it's pretty simple to get done.

[bold hazel]

...thinking once again about a hypothetical multiplayer Reclamation playthrough.

for some reason I strongly feel like both Terraria and Minecraft are best played multiplayer, so I forget to play them totally solo, but then I can neve find anyone to play with...

[bold hazel]

now I really want to get back into Reclamation but I don't feel like going back to my single player world for it bcause I like big house builds but can never do them...

[young mango]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-k5MPhBSjk

i wanna run this on a celeron server

[bold hazel]

I think my end goal is being able to putter around farming and providing useful resources which other people can then use, so I don't have to worry as much about the large-scale builds (which I suck at) and can just putter about.

[young mango]

i can do so many things bwuhhhhh

[astral rose]

Same. I love doing that. I also love fishing.

[bold hazel]

The issue is that I can never find anyone to play with...

[astral rose]

I'd play with you, except that

[bold hazel]

Honestly I'd be fine taking over stuff like bees. Or... for whatever reason, Minecraft makes me want to farm but Terraria doesn't and I also want to play that multiplayer with someone?

I just suck at stuff like large builds.

[astral rose]

Yeah, that's the problem. I'm the same way.

We need a master builder.

[bold hazel]

We do! Or else I need to grit my teeth and figure out larger builds to collaborate on.

I started a solo Reclamation playthrough and then accidentally abandoned it. ...and I wish that Reclamation had Create: Applied Energistics, because it has both AE and Create and being able to link their storage systems would allow me to do so much.

[candid dock]

are the create storage things not compatible with the storage bus?

[bold hazel]

...the individual storage containers probably are. But Create also has its own multi-chest linked storage system, using stock tickers to request packages be sent from one chest to another, and Create: Applied Energistics allows you to connect that to an AE system.

So that you can, from within an AE system, request an item be sent to you, and then use it as a component in a crafting system automatically. Because that way, I could easily set up a chest next to farm plots, link those farming contraptions to each other and to a single power source via chain drives, and also pull items out of those farms' outputs remotely.

[astral rose]

The only mod I want is Runecraft. https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/runecraft.39771/

You basically build runes out of blocks in the world. It doesn't add any blocks.

And it's one of the oldest continually updated Minecraft mods.

[bold hazel]

ah... i want the Reclamation pack which has a ton of mods.

[ember bay]

Not really going to find much spigot/bukkit stuff around since it only functions in SMP and is...annoying to deal with iirc

[candid dock]

also if you're running solo you can just chuck the mod in

[bold hazel]

I do it through the curseforge launcher because I'm lazy and it's simple.

[candid dock]

yeah just my modpacks, click the mod pack you want to edit, 3 dots next to play, profile options, check allow content management for this profile, click done, click the add content button, search for create energetics, click install

its how i add a good map and extreme sound muffler to everything

because xaeros map is better than everything else and that is a hill i will die on

[bold hazel]

I... will have to try that, and hope it doesn't break anything. And also hope that it wasn't intentionally excluded due to being too strong or something.

[bold hazel]

Found someone automating the harvesting with Botania stuff and it's interesting how large modpacks often have multiple tools that all work for similar tasks, albeit in different ways. So maybe I don't need Create: AE? But it'd let me automatically collect resources from my harvested crops by setting up chain conveyors above each harvester, and if I make them windmill contraptions they're self-turning anyway but this lets me pool their power...

[lapis parcel]

Early Ars also has good harvest tools, though I don't know how locked off ars rituals are.

[bold hazel]

Ars Magica is a decent way into the mod, and I don't know enough about it from watching playthroughs of the modpack. It's definitely not central to the modpack.

yeah I'm watching someone else use it and I had no idea how to use ars. I was just going to use Create, because then I could simultaneously use the same chain drives to share power between them (initially I would have said "to power them" but they're windmills already) and to make the retrieved items part of a stock system so that they're effectively auto-collected.

yeah I feel like no matter what I do I'm going to neglect something.

[ember bay]

Do you mean Ars Noveau? It's pretty simple

If it is actually Ars Magica, that's also fairly simple

[bold hazel]

It was Ars Noveau, but I didn't get far enough into the modpack to try it myself, and the previous LPs I had seen used it only to the extent necessary for progress which wasn't terribly much. And then I spent time thinking about things I could theoretically do with Create.

[ember bay]

There's not a ton to do with Ars Noveau. The magic it provides is best used as a replacement for your tools and not much more

It has less shenanigans than Ars Magica

For context, Ars Magica 2 in 1.7.10 let you do Wizard War shit if you abused the spell system

"You now cannot leave this specific block no matter what. You can die, /home, the server can go down and when it comes back up you will be back here again."

[wise owl]

this just in

🥺

[bold hazel]

on the subject of novel Create crafting methods: imagine a bulk crafting method that involved blowing a fan through an active nether portal.

[bold hazel]

Turns out the mod I was thinking of was in fact named Create: Stock Bridge.

[lapis parcel]

Ehh. It has simplified general purpose mob farms, extremely low block footprint item transfer, rituals have a lot of random uses, and spell turrets enable some interesting item gathering.

(Drygmies in particular are a little busted. They won’t replace a single-mob farm design in output, but for all those random mob drop needs, they’re insanely good.)

[bold hazel]

does Botania still have the runescape barrows gear?

[bold hazel]

...I wonder how much space it would take to grow every kind of crop available in Reclamation, especially if you wanted each one to have its own little proper plot instead of just a single square. It's be a lot of space, either to make into a farm, or into some sort of living museum. But it'd be an interesting project.

it is so funny that Minecraft mods decided the unit of volume management is millibuckets. It makes sense given the context but it's also very funny.

[safe oracle]

also universal units: is nice

[lapis parcel]

Well, it gets messy once you are dealing with conversions from blocks/ingots/nuggets (base 9) to millibuckets (base 10)

[bold hazel]

My desire to not involve myself with a new project is warring with my desire to make a multiplayer minecraft server happen...

or at least a few people if not a full server.

A minecraft RPG mod in the style of Wuxia would be cool

...is base minecraft already cultivation? You can plant wheat and ascend

🤔

idk what I'm saying

[candid dock]

i am unfamiliar with wuxia

[wise owl]

uhh its a type of fantasy story mostly featured in Chinese media

lemme check Wikipedia...

here we go

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wuxia

[split epoch]

or you could go further. xianxia

[bold hazel]

So there are basically two roads I can see this idea going down:

1. In xianxia especially, long-term magic often takes the form of "formations", which involve planting special flags in special patterns to redirect the flow of qi and generate beneficial effects. You could simply use little flags and use them for multiblock glyphs.
2. Go full Amazing Cultivation Simulator. Oh, you slept in a wooden bed lined up with the door in a netherrack house? Sucks to be you, your heart explodes or you wake up with a trillion debuffs.

[ancient estuary]

I love both of those ideas

Because 2 would (just like Cultivation Sim) definitely start with the dev doing a ton of research to define mechanics that would look cool, then players would inevitably find the optimal chi-channeling house looks totally ridiculous

Also I have to assume there'd be a non-zero chance you accidentally give your chicken farm qi deviation and they all explode with the force of an nuclear bomb

[bold hazel]

I think that would be difficult to do accidentally. But possible! Also, some "negative consequences" would draw in the undead... meaning you can make a mob farm.

[rancid spire]

I just thought about how the smoker and blast furance feel kinda useless

when you can just make more furnaces

and i think instead

The smoker should make smoked versions of food that gives more food

and blast furnace should have a chance to double drops

[safe oracle]

no matter how many furnaces you make you still won't be able to smelt one instance of a thing faster

also they're better for aesthetic considerations, if you don't want a big wall of furnaces

[bold hazel]

also they're more fuel-efficient I think? Which occasionally sort of almost matters.

[ancient estuary]

Wiki says they use fuel at double the rate per second, so they end up at the same fuel/item efficiency as regular furnaces

[rancid spire]

eh the other thing is they already get hardlocked into only smelting a few things

with the only benfit is double smelting speed

with a more complex and costly recipe

[ancient estuary]

At least they're pretty blocks. Smokers make a great trim texture

[rancid spire]

I kinda thought about this when playing a modpack

a lot of modpacks like to make things harder by retricting normal but without an upgrade

i think examples of the reverse of this

is coke ovens

when a mod uses that as part of its progression

its harder to make but it also is a decent upgrade

Doku is one i feel ok about

[lavish marten]

tbf texture packs ruin a lot of modern building techniques and i think minecraft's base style looks good enough to exist on its own

gradients get weird with texture packs that get creative with blocks

[lapis parcel]

Yeah, modern non-programmer art Minecraft is solid enough that I don’t really feel the need for aesthetic texture packs - for me texture packs are mostly a “art of this mod is meh” thing.

[stone canopy]

after searching far and wide, I have all the berries needed to train my pokemon in minecraft (we're playing with the cobblemon mod)

behold, mine house

and the garden

[stone canopy]

my friends are out there mining and dying in another dimension while I'm here farming for One Specific Fruit

[ancient estuary]

that's the minecraft way

[lapis parcel]

What are people’s world gen setups? I’m planning on Cliff Tree, since its back port has apparently been improved a bunch, and some one-off modded biomes, like Ars’s forests, but was debating a more dedicated biome mod. It’s neoforge, and while Connector is an option, I prefer to avoid it.

[fringe python]

https://youtu.be/LHx38oLBkj0

[brisk tangle]

Was necesse the one people didn’t like or was it core keeper?

[ancient estuary]

I don't think Necesse has come up too much in this thread. I talked about how core keeper wasn't for me last time it came up (but I do think it's for some people)

[ember bay]

I played a little of Necesse and it's pretty neat

Though the enemy spawning underground feels excessive

[brisk tangle]

Hmm
We want to play minecraft but we are running into the eternal issue of not being creative enough to have fun with minecraft

[bold hazel]

Play a quest pack! I recommend Reclamation. Or we could hypothetically do multiplayer sometime.

[brisk tangle]

What's reclamation about?

[lapis parcel]

Bringing life back to a dead world with magic and tech. Seems pretty neat.

Currently I'm working on making a starter house in creative, since I've been tinkering with mods a bunch and don't want to keep starting over whenever I tweak some stuff.

So I'm making a house with some mid-game setups like an Ars imbument chamber, a create workshop, an iron farm, and such, so that I'm not starting from scratch.

[brisk tangle]

Oh yeah that one

[ember bay]

Necesse is extremely Terraria, to note. Easily the most Terraria game I've played on first impression that wasn't actually Terraria

It works though

[ancient estuary]

Is it the kind of game that you really want to play in co-op, or does it work equally well in singleplayer?

[ember bay]

Haven't gotten far enough to say, but there is a colony system and I believe those NPCs can be recruited for various tasks

[candid dock]

oh is it mine colonies?

[ember bay]

More rimworld from what I've seen

[brisk tangle]

Oh yeah, we forgot that mine colonies exist
Maybe that’s what we should be doing in Minecraft

[cerulean cargo]

So me and my friends thought it'd be nice to have a third party host our Terraria server so that it'd be up 24/7 but uh...do y'all happen to have any recommendations? I don't really know where to start here cause I just use the in-game Host & Play option

[lapis parcel]

I use an Oracle free server for Minecraft. It’s the best free option I’m aware of if you can figure out ssh

[ember bay]

https://old.reddit.com/r/Terraria/comments/11kvixu/guide_how_to_make_a_free_server_with_oracle_cloud/

[cerulean cargo]

I'll give it a shot and compare it against skynode

Thanks for the shout

[snow flare]

so i found something in the nether in my survival game

a piglin chicken jockey

[azure iris]

That seems ill advised once you enter hardmode

[rancid spire]

if you hjust play in sessions together then just doing play stuff works

[cerulean cargo]

Nahhhhh we got it

Surely a group of 4-6 players (some of whom are gonna play til midnight) can handle the Evils eventually

[bold hazel]

This is why you dig firebreaks around the world evil before killing the Wall of Flesh. And then again after the extra evils spawn.

[cerulean cargo]

Oh we're gonna be diving into a hardmode-start world

Specificaly, this one

But Evil spread didn't really pose a problem the first and second time I went through it so I'm hoping they won't be a bother in #3

[ember bay]

Necesse is indeed neat so far

I have been focusing on the colony too much to actually progress the game

Settlers have rooms where they sleep and their happiness is affected by the interior size and amount of furniture types they have, as well as if they have any roommates

You can assign them to do various jobs like foresting, crafting, hauling, etc

Crafting is basically an autocrafting system where you set on the table what recipes it can autocraft and how much you want it to autocraft, whether that's X items in storage, X times, or just forever

The minimum size for max happiness is large enough that you can easily have someone's house also be a crafting area. Not sure how the chest priority system works yet

I also wish crafting tables in a colony could grab from colony storage when manually crafting, not just have it be based on proximity

[cerulean cargo]

Oracle ain't taking my card 😔

I was thinking if I could use it for Steam then it'd be fine but I guess not

Skynode isn't sending us verification emails either

So we gonna divert towards fps.ms instead, wish us luck folks

excellent

thank you

[meager rune]

i do love getting to do a bit of stupid redstone in the context of all the stupid modded automation i have going on

needed to activate a machine twice, then a second machine twice
and then repeat
all in order

so now i can just hook up any length clock on the bottom right

and it does that

[safe oracle]

the more complex the tech mod, the funnier it is when you pull out a redstone clock

[meager rune]

shoutout to the mod More Red for providing the colored cabling, one block latches, one block and gates and one block pulse gates

and create for the wireless redstone transmitters

[tough tulip]

Though it is neat that vanilla recently added two-block latches (redstone lamp + comparator)

[split epoch]

if it works

[cerulean cargo]

Creepers are naturally generated, and are coded to explode patterns like these, so technically this is natural terrain generation :p

-# I'm of course omitting that you need a command to spawn a Creeper with a sufficient explosion strength to create That but let that slide please~

i need me some wungus and crungus to build a house

[astral rose]

I managed to get some wungus from an ender man and then flee.

[brittle bough]

SNUGGS!!

renaming to snugs with one 'g'

because that looks better i think

[astral rose]

Then I planted it in the overworld near my base.

I need some crungus, though.

[candid dock]

I have a fwen who calls me lil snugs

[lavish marten]

wungus needs warped nylium to grow into a full wungus tree, i'd get about 9 blocks. you can spread nylium by bonemealing netherrack adjacent to it

you need to bonemeal wungus to make the tree

a hoe removed wungus 'leaves' the fastest

[astral rose]

Yeah, I meant I brought nylium to the overworld.

And I've figured that out. I also figured out that you want to cut the wood on the ground ASAP, and you want to climb up with scaffolding so the nylium doesn't have to get replenished.

So this is the final version of Terraria again?

[prime thorn]

Idk, this is the first time in a while that I haven't heard Red say it's "the final update"

[brisk tangle]

Terraria is just this but a video game

[prime thorn]

It's like Final Fantasy

[lavish marten]

why is there so many final fantasies anyway

it should be the FINAL fantasy. no more fantasies ever again

[tough tulip]

Because it's a successful series that's been going for... [checks] 38 years

[ancient estuary]

It's a called shot. It hasn't happened yet, but they're betting that the last fantasy game ever made will be a Final Fantasy

I'm gonna be honest: I like the idea of portraits but something about that portrait feels uncanny and I don't know what. Too... round, maybe?

[brisk tangle]

Will say, the other portraits are definitely better

Speaking of weird decisions, what do you think this percentage is referring to?

[ancient estuary]

NPC happiness?

[brisk tangle]

Nope! It seems to actually be the discount you get from their happiness!

[bold hazel]

Yeah, it says that because they're happy their prices are 79% of normal (and correspondingly increased when you sell to them)! I'm glad they actually directly reveal that now.

[bold hazel]

it's not even fun. It's just "do annoying micro which ignores what the opponent's doing in order to make the damage number larger".

[candid dock]

you can build a really long double rail in the sky with holes in the top set and just dodge everything by being off screen and hopping rails to get around the first layer of anti cheese

[brittle bough]

New, stronger whips and also whip modifiers that directly increase summon tag damage and other fun stats. The benefit of whip stacking was that you'd benefit from two sets of tags iirc, but now you don't need to quick-swap between 'em to get similar damage numbers.

any terraria knowers: how/why is this reading as jungle?

[ancient estuary]

looks like there's some visible jungle below you? any chance that starts close by? biomes are just driven by a minimum number of relevant blocks, so if there's, e.g. a thousand mud blocks just out of your line of sight I think that'd do it

[silk silo]

the search radius is 84 horizontal, 60 vertical, isn't it?

I put a pretty big hole in the world to build this

[bold hazel]

Are you using jungle temple bricks? Are there jungle vines growing from above and dangling into the area?

[silk silo]

sandstone and no

[azure iris]

What're all of those light green blobs of blocks?

[azure iris]

If it’s chlorophyte I’m pretty sure it counts as jungle blocks

[silk silo]

Wiki doesn't have chlorophyte on the jungle block list

and regardless those are like 150 blocks from the bottom of the sandstone layer

[azure iris]

...wait, that isn't the jungle background

[silk silo]

it is not, but the torches will go to jungle torches if shimmer gunned and the map background is jungle

[brisk tangle]

Weird

[spice iris]

this map scares the shit out of me

what have you done to the world

[lavish marten]

these are the early stages it seems

but yeah i think theyre a bit. Modded? they feel modded

sulfur and cinnabar though? love them. we needed a yellow building block that wasnt bamboo

what we need now is a green wood type

[ancient estuary]

The slimes don't feel too off to me, but sulfur and cinnabar are two of those minerals that show up in every modpack so that makes it feel modded to me 😅

I wonder if they're scheming some kind of chemistry update. They might just have picked sulfur because of the hot spring association, but it'd be strange

and I was mostly talking outside the minecraft chat

I though I was in videogame discusion ngl, sorry

[cerulean cargo]

You're good, I was just wondering if I missed a build/craft/survive loop (which I did with Terraria somehow)

[astral rose]

I wish Terraria had a chlorophyte-based set for summoners with multiple options, the way there's Turtle and Beetle armor for melee, Shroomite armor for ranged, and Spectre armor for mages. You could have different headgear that specifically boosts minions, sentries, or whips.

[ember bay]

Whip based summoner set called Vampire Hunter

[heady gust]

It hardly counts, but Tiki and Spooky armor are technically sidegrades of eachother from the same tier of progression as the armors you mentioned, with Tiki armor having more summoner slots, and Spooky armor having more damage bonuses.

Of course, it's old content, if I were going about doing what you mentioned I'd add some extra helmets to Spooky armor

You could even add a chlorophyte cost to crafing the armor if you really wanted but that's sort of arbitrary since having spooky wood is already a progression check

[astral rose]

There's also the Tavernkeep armor, but that's not strictly summoner armor.

[heady gust]

Yea, and the final set of that is also post-golem, not post-plantera

Personally I think it'd be cool if spooky armor had an alternate helmet with like gnarled wooden goat horns or something

[astral rose]

Tiki Armor is apparently the highest tier you can pay money for.

[heady gust]

Yea you buy it straight from the witch doctor post-plantera, I do not know if they changed the conditions for buying it but I remember it being you specifically need the pygmy staff in your inventory

It still genuinely baffles me how they did this in Minecraft

[wise owl]

ye

so we decided to make another ship in creative

behold!

[vagrant niche]

any of the bigger packs added create aeronautics yet?

(Modpacks that isn't ATM ofc)

[safe oracle]

we've had our eye on this video tbh (at least we think)

[wise owl]

hehe

[sullen moat]

Anybody here avid create players?

Need some input on smth

[ancient estuary]

A lot of us have played at one time or another. It's probably better to just ask the question and see who bites

[sullen moat]

Im making a tutoiral world for Create and wanted some feedback

[sullen moat]

So far, I have RP, cogs, windmills/waterwheels and a demonstration of SU lined up for the base lesson. Next, I have a series of optional modules planned.

[wise owl]

i think I have an obsession with bigger and larger ships

then again I do like bigger and larger things in general

[wise owl]

btw, to get the Cloudskipper Disc from the Create: Aeronautics Mod: Try chucking a music disc above cloud level

[odd gate]

Man all this posting makes me want to play it

But idk who I'd play with

[wise owl]

Hmm

[sullen moat]

I'd be up for it

[heady gust]

Look just trust me I'm a benevolent tyrant

Can’t you just like

Flatten out the terrain and light it up?

[lapis parcel]

Somewhat, but also it's annoying to find trades that way.

[rancid spire]

also the villagers are extremely deathprone if you don't lock them up

i had them die to stairs in their own premade house

[brisk tangle]

wat

[rancid spire]

yeah

they really should just give them a slow health regen

it would fix it

[lapis parcel]

That’s a new one but yeah, the reputation of Minecraft villagers is they will die in any way possible.

[brisk tangle]

They don’t have health regen!?

[candid dock]

nope

[lapis parcel]

Nope!

[rancid spire]

i tried making actual nice little place but yeah

they just find ways to die if you don't lock theminside

and sometimes evne then

[lapis parcel]

Ours are free-roaming rn, with the exception of the mending one who’s in a nice safe hole.

[candid dock]

i gave them a netherite regen beacon and still they die

[brisk tangle]

Why!?

[candid dock]

[patent root]

don't villagers get regen only if they rank up in trades

[candid dock]

ye

the netherite beacon was for nothing
