steampunk

[spare walrus]

the space upgrade between gold and diamond chests is kinda disappointing

[grizzled tusk]

Just use Vaults from Create

[random pollen]

i dont know if he was mucking about adding iterrpg into tetra, or if its already in

just saying that might not be possible to make in the pack currently :p

[grizzled tusk]

Lol gotcha

[spare walrus]

is weird how iterrpg's ores dont mine properly with tetra tools

i wonder what kinda weird messed up internal system the iterrpg ores use

[open ruin]

So it's kinda hard to see, but ED has walls for the clinker brick, and they are flush

makes it look really nice

[spare walrus]

whats up with this wood and leaves mineshaft i found

[spiral thorn]

yung's better mineshafts mod

[open ruin]

🤢

[south copper]

I just noticed we don't have builder wands besides the one from create I mean I guess we could technically just import from a schematic n toss into a cannon but u still have to build manually tho

[grizzled tusk]

So I ahve a little deployer thing setup to just make andesite casings passively. I have them hooked up to my storage network.
The deployer that takes the stripped oak logs, is always going (since I have so many) but it is like.. Placing the logs, and just breaking those. Is there a way I can set it to wait until there is an andesite alloy on the other deployer as well?

[random pollen]

dont think so

[grizzled tusk]

Hmm. Thonk..

[charred lava]

hello. on hardcore version of the mod is there a way to regain the max hp lost when dying?

[grizzled tusk]

Another question now; Is there a way of getting items to travel.. Up? Can you make belts travel upwards? Is there an item elevator or something?

[astral hearth]

Find your soul crystals

[charred lava]

what mod is that from?

[astral hearth]

They are basically your missing hearts and to find them is where you died

[open ruin]

This looks so cool, even though I know it's not going to work

[astral hearth]

I just imagine a steam locomotive stuck in place and using their wheels to pump the machinery

[random pollen]

when you have the 7 curses, you lose 10% hp when you die unless you recover your body

[charred lava]

OH

[grizzled tusk]

^

[glad heath]

Fan

[south copper]

Enigma legacy

[random pollen]

weighted ejecter can yeet them up

[glad heath]

Belts can go up diagonally

[random pollen]

you can use fans to blow things up chutes

[grizzled tusk]

I will test out all the things

[random pollen]

or an upward chute can place on a belt immediately above it

chest, chute, belt

is a valid setup

[open ruin]

hmmm

[grizzled tusk]

I'll try it out

[south copper]

My mind was like use fans to blow things up

[open ruin]

I guess Create pipes don't work with the immersive engineering fluid tank

this is suppose to auto output

[random pollen]

still got a pump on that line somewhere?

[open ruin]

no

okay so

the water is there

it's just not rendering

that's weird

I'm just gonna use the IE pipes, though. They have infinite range

whereas the create pipes you have to use their pumps

[spare walrus]

villagers arent the smartest builders, are they?

[open ruin]

It's kind of a dumb thing to complain about but I really don't like the fact that for any sort of long-range fluid travel, you basically have to have shafts running parallel to pipes

idk

not really the biggest fan tbf

[spare walrus]

oh by the way, related to distance

do trains work well at all for longer distance travel

or do they just break

[open ruin]

as long as the track is chunkloaded, you should be fine to have them go off on their own

if not you have to travel with them

[random pollen]

airship is the best way to travel

[open ruin]

if I understand right

[spare walrus]

also whats that portal thing left behind by tempad uses

[random pollen]

it should vanish after a bit

[spare walrus]

oh, i was wondering if it was usable for a return

also what's making unpowered redstone pitch black?

[open ruin]

we got powah

[random pollen]

create has its own accumulators too

[open ruin]

Does it?

🤔

Oh, through Crafts & Additions

2mfe

[random pollen]

yeah same mod that gives us the straws

so you can just pipe lava directly into blaze burners

[astral hearth]

What’s this?

For steam?

[open ruin]

yeah, I turn steam power su into fe

but

I'm a bit confused on how the rotation speed controller works

is this not right?

or is top cog input and speed controller is output?

[random pollen]

the big cog is your output

[open ruin]

well it ain't spinning

[random pollen]

overstressed?

[open ruin]

oh

no

what

someone told me rotating it so the output and input were the same direction would work

but it doth not

[random pollen]

oh you rotated the cog? yeah no

[open ruin]

right is spinning, left is not

[random pollen]

yeah

by rotating the cog youve broken the contraption

[open ruin]

weird

when I hook the system up

the steam engine on one side goes way faster

[random pollen]

you got your power crossed somewhere

the wheel is forcing the engines to run faster

[open ruin]

yeah

I'm just gonna have it running the other way

this is what I was doing

[random pollen]

hmm

i would join the incoming rotation to a single output to connect to the speed machine

[open ruin]

nope, even flipping it still borks it

[glad heath]

And you hold right click to set speed

On the body of the block

[open ruin]

good point

[open ruin]

yeah, I knew that part

the issue was one side of this is sending 256 over to the steam engine

which is big no no

all better now

assigning it to a single speed controller fixed it

[lofty warren]

good morning folks

[open ruin]

probably cheaper too

hey barb

[lofty warren]

yesterday was a day of adventuring and finding eyes... and then struggling for 3 hours in my crazy fortress explosion that had 3 or 4 other structures in itself :S

one of which was giving mining fatigue III

:S

sadly, i did not get the nether eye from that fortress

even after all that effort 😦

[open ruin]

Looks like it's doing about 4k rf/t

[lofty warren]

i did get 3 wither skeleton skulls though

[open ruin]

per accumulator

[open ruin]

You'll find one eventually. We believe in you!

[lofty warren]

so now the big question is - how scary is the wither in this modpack - is it modded wither or is it vanilla one?

i am now 8 eyes

[random pollen]

its vanilla

[lofty warren]

potentially 9 if i get the wither one

[open ruin]

wither is a push-over with all the cool stuff we get

[random pollen]

if you got the magehunter sword it doesnt take long

[lofty warren]

i am thinking of spawning it in that deep dark vault that i cleared

cause it is made from unbreakable blocks

[random pollen]

perfect idea

[open ruin]

oh, no

I'm overstressed

[lofty warren]

I don't think I have the magehunter sword in this world, i think i had found one in the previous one

[open ruin]

maybe just two accumulators?

[random pollen]

more steam engines on your boilers

[lofty warren]

what are you trying to power up, Gris?

[random pollen]

stack em up vertical

[open ruin]

I could, but I'm also trying to make this not a complete headache for Vulu once I get back 😛

[glad heath]

Hey since your in-game can you tell me what mod the mangrove and jasper are from? So I. Can research what biome the spawn in

[open ruin]

jasper is from quark

mangrove is vanilla

knew that offhand

[random pollen]

steam engines are cheap, 9 per boiler lets go

[open ruin]

Nothing right now

I just want to have the power in case we need it

[lofty warren]

ah

[random pollen]

you want to power up tesla coils

and zap all the roamers

[open ruin]

I do want to use the Powered Lanterns from Immersive Engineering

YES

fuck those guys

can you imagine like

a steampunk style village

[lofty warren]

zap zap

[open ruin]

where our home defense is literally tesla coils

[lofty warren]

😄

i can

[glad heath]

Huh

[lofty warren]

you should totally make this

[glad heath]

Quark website says jasper is a stone type?

[lofty warren]

jasper is a stone type yes

i think i collected some jasper tree yesterday

let me check my inventory

[astral hearth]

Don't push it.

[glad heath]

I thought it was a wood when gris was building with it

[lofty warren]

might be also but i will know for sure in a moment

[spare walrus]

why are block breaking particles sometimes flickering black

[glad heath]

Ahh.. that does have a stone brick texture

[lofty warren]

someone said it is occulus issue

[spare walrus]

ive had a general issue where randomly while breaking blocks too, particles will render in front of all terrain

[lofty warren]

jei says jasper is a stone indeed

[glad heath]

Jasper will spawn in Mesa and Desert biomes.

Ok so that and mangrove swamps

[astral hearth]

Thank god you can make slimeballs with just colored dye.

Else getting a slime farm would've been a pain in the ass

[lofty warren]

why?

we got the quark slime in a bucket

you can even find it in chests

[open ruin]

yes but it's not farmable

[lofty warren]

why not?

you use it to find a slime chunk, buddy

[open ruin]

buddy

[lofty warren]

that's what it's purpose is 😄

[astral hearth]

That's not the issue..

[open ruin]

https://tenor.com/view/dies-from-cringe-meme-cringe-imagine-gif-23477312

I hate that word so much

[lofty warren]

if you are holding it in hand and you walk around it will animate when you are in a slime chunk

[open ruin]

[astral hearth]

The issue is getting it nearby.

[open ruin]

Ah, I didn't know that.

I thought it was literally just

a slime, in a bucket

you drop it, and it's a slime

[glad heath]

There is a mod that adds like a slime cake that grows small like to big

[lofty warren]

nope it's a functional item 😄

[open ruin]

Neat

also, vu

I think I created a monster tbf

[astral hearth]

It's a nice item yeah, but if a slime chunk is not near a base.

Then it's a bit of a hassle to go there.

[lofty warren]

what do you mean not near a base 😄

there are slime chunks literally everywhere 😄

just pick a closer one 😄

[open ruin]

36 steam engines

🥵

[astral hearth]

Y'know what? I'll just stick to using colored dyes and make a farm out of bonemeal and cacti.

[open ruin]

that's how I do it tbf

[lofty warren]

😄

farming bonemeal and cacti is def easier to set up

[spare walrus]

whats going on with my particles here?

[lofty warren]

occulus issue

[open ruin]

360 fe/t

hm

[lofty warren]

you can disable breaking particles i think

[spare walrus]

occulus??

[lofty warren]

but not sure how, a person yesterday said you might need an extra mod

[open ruin]

I hate when mods use FE instead of RF

because then you gotta convert it in your head

[lofty warren]

it is the same thing

FE is RF

[open ruin]

Is it?

🤔

[lofty warren]

yes

[open ruin]

hm

that's weird then

[lofty warren]

since 1.12 or 1.16 not sure when

it is the same

[glad heath]

Bone meal if you farm the nether trees the wart blocks have a 85% compost chance so you can get a huge net gain

[open ruin]

1 FE (Forge Energy) is equivalent to 10 joules. 1 RF (Redstone Flux) is equivalent to 1 joule.Feb 19, 2019

[spare walrus]

what IS occulus, what are you talking about

[glad heath]

It's a mod

[lofty warren]

2019 ....

[astral hearth]

That's also another reason why I asked Vulu to gather me the stuff.

[lofty warren]

like 4 years ago

that's pre-1.16

[glad heath]

One sec

[lofty warren]

actually Feb 2019 is maybe even 1.13

[glad heath]

https://legacy.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/oculus

That's occulus

[open ruin]

literally that's what the wiki says, it's even saying you're right

so I don't know what you are arguing about

[spare walrus]

the weird thing is like

[glad heath]

Power conversion doesn't mean much if it's infinite ;p

[open ruin]

there's literally nothing to argue about

[glad heath]

Power gen

[open ruin]

and I really hate when people just try and find things

[spare walrus]

that particle issue didnt happen while i had shaders on

[astral hearth]

Blame the generation, buddy.

[spare walrus]

i was making

a Joke

[astral hearth]

Yeah I'm not angry.

[glad heath]

Hrm it's 1 am I'll look for the materials tomorrow

[open ruin]

1 FE = 10 joule
1 RF = 1 joule

so, 10 RF = 1 FE, or 1 FE = 10 RF

the only difference is an additional 0

[lofty warren]

....

[open ruin]

tell the wiki they're wrong

not me

I'm just going off of what it says

[random pollen]

lol

10 RF = 1FE, or 1FE = 10RF

your math hurts my head

its the same !

[open ruin]

[lofty warren]

i am pointing out that the wiki is -outdated- looking at the date

which wiki is it, pls a link

[open ruin]

🤔

[grizzled tusk]

Is this not a valid setup for having things come out of a chest?

[open ruin]

Nevermind, didn't see the top resource was a Quora link, not the wiki

Why is this even here

[glad heath]

It should work?

[lofty warren]

to teach you reading comprehension and source information awareness 😄

[glad heath]

Did you add a filter or something?

[grizzled tusk]

It doesn't seem like having funnels on the side are doing anything?

[glad heath]

Or what's wrong

[grizzled tusk]

Yes I did. But the items in the filter are in there, and they aren't coming out.

[glad heath]

Oh

I see

Lever

[open ruin]

[grizzled tusk]

The belt leads down a few blocks, into another funnel. But items aren't going into that funnel either

[open ruin]

Googles fault

[grizzled tusk]

Moment

[glad heath]

Lever disabled iir iirc

It iirc*

[random pollen]

yeah your lever has prob turned the funnels off

[open ruin]

Quora shouldn't have that information there if it isn't correct

[random pollen]

cos they are one block over

[open ruin]

Moving on

360fe/rf per tick seems kind of small 🤔

an array of solar panels can do the same thing for much cheaper

[astral hearth]

I'll let the horse silently judge.

[open ruin]

Let him

Quora doesn't know what it's talking about

[glad heath]

For the immersive press I have the thermal gen (the temp difference one)

[open ruin]

and shouldn't be providing resources that aren't correct

[lofty warren]

@open ruin here is the story if you are interested:

[open ruin]

k

[grizzled tusk]

Okay. Got it working

[lofty warren]

Quora is literally not the place to be looking for accurate information 😄

[grizzled tusk]

This is the dumbest thing ever, tbh. I really am not proud of this xD I had to of done this is the DUMBEST possible way

[open ruin]

Then it shouldn't exist. Not my problem their information is inaccurate

[lofty warren]

your problem is you need to learn how to evaluate the information you are finding 😄

[grizzled tusk]

I feel like I should be shot for creating this thing xD

[glad heath]

If it was old info it could've been right at the time

[open ruin]

Your problem is not learning to let things go. I said I was moving on

[glad heath]

Or well if it was just wrong then eh

[lofty warren]

lol 😄 you should also learn to say "you're right, i was wrong" before "i'm moving on" ...

[open ruin]

hey "buddy"

I did

[lofty warren]

that's what i am saying

it was answer from 2019

[open ruin]

Right here

[lofty warren]

which is like 6 or 7 versions of minecraft ago

[random pollen]

do i need to get the poking stick out here and send people to corners of rooms?

[open ruin]

I got off the hill, you choose to die on it

[grizzled tusk]

[random pollen]

youre both making mountains out of molehills. shhhhh

both of ya just drop it

[lofty warren]

I don't know what is wrong with "buddy" and why do you feel offended, but it might be my millenial brain not connecting with today's youth

[random pollen]

before i legit get annoyed

[lofty warren]

😄

[astral hearth]

I'll ask you to send Barbarian and Gris to.. the Timeout Corners!, for about 10 mins.

[open ruin]

Anyways

360fe/t

dunno how I feel about that

🤔

[random pollen]

how much incoming SU is that

[open ruin]

16,384k

[random pollen]

pititful. those boilers can dump 200k each

gotta add more engines :p

[open ruin]

no I mean

that's the max it can accept

[random pollen]

really? eww

[open ruin]

that's the max one alternator can accept yeah

[random pollen]

ok well you need a series of them

which is kinda how it works in real life too

[glad heath]

Did you use a lot of jasper/mangrove?

[open ruin]

nah

[glad heath]

So a couple stacks would be enough

[open ruin]

the mangrove is for the trim and door

the jasper is for the foundational layer

[open ruin]

yeah probably

I'm just trying to think of how many would be a good amount

maybe 4?

[random pollen]

how much does a tesla coil need to charge up quick :p

[open ruin]

uhm

sec

it has a 40kfe bank

so

doing some math

27 ticks for 4 alternators

technically 27.77777

[lofty warren]

tesla coil is from the Immersive Engineering mod, which has diesel generator able to push out more than 4k rf/t

[open ruin]

but you get the idea

[random pollen]

theres a create one too

[open ruin]

wrong coil

[random pollen]

from additions

[lofty warren]

oh there is a different one?

my bad

[random pollen]

ive never done a head to head with them to see which one zaps best

[lofty warren]

the IE one seemed quite useless previously

or rather.. spectacular unnecessarity

😄

[open ruin]

neither have I

in fact the only home defense I ever really used was razor wire

[spare walrus]

genuinely curious why scorched guns and scorched bronze guns have so many duplicates

[open ruin]

I already pointed it out in suggestions

[lofty warren]

it uses 256 rf/t passive mode and extra 512 rf on each zap

the IE one

[astral hearth]

Should've changed that last 7 to an 8, buuttt, the math seem to be right.

[lofty warren]

zaps stuff within 6 meters

[open ruin]

we only deal in absolutes in this house

gotta be exact

🤓

[lofty warren]

does the create tesla coil have larger area of effect?

[random pollen]

dont know. one way to find out :p

also not sure if it will friendly fire too

[glad heath]

Don't make the create addon radar it's like so bad

[astral hearth]

Sir, this is not a house.

This is a community center.

[random pollen]

theres a radar?

didnt know that

[glad heath]

30 second cool down for giving nearby mobs glowing for like ,2 seconds

[lofty warren]

TIL I can have two spellstones at the same time .... but i think it is a bug

[random pollen]

awful, i'll make the f&a one

[glad heath]

When we have forbidden and arcanus

Yea

[open ruin]

sir, this is not a community center

this is a half-way house

[spare walrus]

trying to figure out what monster is making a noise, it sounds like a very raspy growly inhale and the sound always seems to be right next to me even though i havent seen the monster

[random pollen]

yeah i think its an ambient

[glad heath]

Is it like drowned

[random pollen]

ive heard it and nothing to be seen

[spare walrus]

if it is an ambient its awful

[random pollen]

next time someone hears it, turn on subtitles and see if it gives a clue

cos yeah its annoying and needs muffling

(also we need muffling mod)

[spare walrus]

ITS A FUCKING WOLFSBANE

WHY DOES ITS SOUND HAVE NO PROXIMITY

oooor not?

[random pollen]

why is your capslock on 😛

[spare walrus]

cause i was mad? idk

[random pollen]

overreact much

[open ruin]

yeah man it's just a video game

[spare walrus]

idk, im sensitive to sounds sometimes, and that specific sound was really getting on my nerves for how i couldnt figure out what the heck was making it

[lofty warren]

there is a sound effect coming from the everdawn/everbright portals too

that is super annoying

[open ruin]

I think the accumulator might be a bit redundant

but, the system works

[random pollen]

it also looks cooler

[spare walrus]

also why do the meatures sometimes trigger the drowned sound when you kill them as if they're lowering sanity the same way passive mobs do

im pretty sure meatures are Not Passive

[random pollen]

they seem to break some other rules too that mob

[lofty warren]

meatures are passive on my minimap

but when i go close to one it turns to hostile

i have changed the colors of hostile mobs there so i can see the difference 😄

[open ruin]

🤔

I'm doing something wrong here

[spare walrus]

also its rlly weird how many village structures have diamonds in item frames in em

[glad heath]

Well

Eventually

There's a drowned boss that can spawn

Which is what I assume the sounds are from

[spare walrus]

man, these guns really confuse my brain orweuighiuwr

i catch myself slipping into other game's control schemes and mechanics when im holding one

like i just tried to hold r to holster my gun when traveling through a village, as if i was playing a fallout game

[open ruin]

hmmm, so wiki says it needs to be LV

[lofty warren]

i think you connect the wire directly to the bottom copper dot of those lamps

[open ruin]

so I need a capacitor to convert to LV

[lofty warren]

but it has to be LV

[open ruin]

rip

[random pollen]

alternator

right ?

transformer even

[lofty warren]

transformer

in IE you wanna keep the high voltage power separate

[open ruin]

I think IE has transformers, yeah

yup

it do

[lofty warren]

even more so because you can't make HV safe 😄

and if you like to jump around your base or use elytra 😄 that's the most deaths you will ever have 😄

in my personal experience 😄

[open ruin]

it has two transformers, HV to MV and MV to LV

neat

[lofty warren]

yeah most machines require LV or MV only

the only machine that needs HV is the excavator

[random pollen]

now theres a machine thats far too much effort

[lofty warren]

but it's worth it 😄

especially with forceloaded chunks

[random pollen]

yeah but in this pack would it be? dont you ahve to plonk it near the veins

which is hard to get power too on demand

[lofty warren]

you have surveyor tools

the veins should be everywhere (it is like biome fields)

but smaller areas

[random pollen]

ah so its only slight adjustments to where you put it down

[lofty warren]

you can use surveyor tools to mark out the different veins and then just move it around

and it can mine -a lot- from a single vein

[open ruin]

okay so, apparently I need two HV Transformers, and one Transformer, to have access to MV

because the MV won't accept multiple cables

neat

[random pollen]

lol phantoms knocked me into my crushing wheels

[open ruin]

rip

[lofty warren]

surveyor tools to mark where the vein is, then a different tool, a drill of some sort, to get the exact values for the location, (it produces small item you can place on it to help you later know where to place the excavator) ... then just move excavator around 😄 or have few diesel generators to support few excavators

[random pollen]

yeah i had the general gist of it, but wasnt sure of the ore distribution. like if i had to go 1k blocks away to find an iron vein

[lofty warren]

isn't it HV to move from HV to MV ... then the MV transformer to move from MV to LV

why two HV ?

[random pollen]

you can go HV to LV on single transformer i thought

[lofty warren]

nope, i don't think so

and you can't connect multiple wires to the transformer, but you can connect multiple wires to the relay nearby it... as long as the total load doesn't exceed the max for the transformer

if it does - the wire burns

😄

[lofty warren]

oh!

i stand corrected, no extra step needed

[random pollen]

remembered reading it when i wrote the quests

[lofty warren]

unless you do need MV -and- LV

[open ruin]

oh, that's neat

I'm gonna do that instead then

[lofty warren]

you should use battery in between

it can be alternative to transformer

because you can throttle the output by using different connector

and you will never have wires burn

not capacitor, i mean connector

[open ruin]

Thanks!

[random pollen]

looking slick

[lofty warren]

and health hazard 😄

i love the brick factory feel

is this the IE concrete on the bottom?

[random pollen]

needs some hazard signs from engineers decor

[lofty warren]

i remember using so many trap doors to isolate HV wires 😄

[open ruin]

yeah I'm definitely going to use some once I get it all setup

problem is

the lights still aren't turning on

🗿

the wiki said it only accepts LV

well, I have an HV transformer

so idk why it ain't working

[random pollen]

lights work as relays

you can wire them directly

..thats not the reason they arent working mind you

[lofty warren]

um

[astral hearth]

What are those wires again?

I know that a single touch of them will instantly fry us

[random pollen]

HV wires will fire you

LV and MV will tickle at various degrees

[lofty warren]

you can make insolated MV and LV

[open ruin]

ah, I didn't know that

[random pollen]

also i totally forgot, the IE lights are mob blockers

[lofty warren]

😄

[random pollen]

reading thru the manual again

watch sharkie take the diamond torch out once he knows that lol

[open ruin]

no, this was in fact why it wasn't working

I just connected them via the top

and they work

Thanks!

[random pollen]

coolies

[lofty warren]

👀

[open ruin]

well, it hooked onto the bottom

but same thing

[random pollen]

i shoulda used weighted ejectors sooner

you can make much more compact machines

[open ruin]

that's a lot more intuitive than I thought

I was overcomplicating things

[open ruin]

yeah man

ejectors > belts

[open ruin]

honestly like, that's what I was thinking. It's a lot more work to actually get set up

and it does p much the same thing

which, you know sharkie loves that shit

[lofty warren]

if you place the lamp below the arm, the connector will turn to face it downwards

[random pollen]

the only issue i have at the moment is i was using a main bus belt setup like tangos so its hard to send one output to multiple spots

yah you can have hanging lamps

[open ruin]

Oh?

Hm

[lofty warren]

😄

[open ruin]

I might try that, maybe

I like the top lights personally

[lofty warren]

Gris has blocked/muted me I guess... so no point replying to him anymore 😄

[open ruin]

but who knows

Yeah that makes it only two blocks tall. Not a fan unless there's some way to extend the posts, which I don't know if there is?

[random pollen]

dont think so, but you can try mixing in the poles from eng decor

[open ruin]

that's true

[random pollen]

nevermind they dont join

[open ruin]

yeah no

they only join from the sides

not the top

sadge

ah well

top lights are cool anyways

[lofty warren]

this room was a good idea for the wither.. it can fly up but still in melee range

[open ruin]

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/ftb_gamepedia/images/8/8a/IE_Transformer.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/260?cb=20150710123751 You can however, put a transformer on a post

which, I think that's pretty neat

[random pollen]

that is neat

[open ruin]

on the wooden post*

[lofty warren]

the hv one doesn't connect the same way

[open ruin]

it doesn't seem to want to go on a steel post

[lofty warren]

it's the hv that doesn't connect

only the normal transformer connects

[open ruin]

ah, wait no. it has to be a transformer, not an HV transformer

[lofty warren]

🤣

[open ruin]

so it does go on the steel post

[random pollen]

non-hv only goes on poles

just like real life

[open ruin]

listen

my dad was actually an electrical engineer. you know what that means? I blocked all of that shit out

[random pollen]

lol

[open ruin]

didn't listen to a damn word he said because I was a kid who didn't care

now I wonder

Now I really only need one transformer in the main building

well, hm

actually, yeah

and then the HV transformer can be HV to MV, and then a transformer specifically for the lights MV to LV

uh

it won't go down

so I don't think I can actually do that

the LV relay is on the left side and the MV is on top

[random pollen]

you can also pass power thru solid walls with insulated connectors

if that helps

[open ruin]

ah, okay it worked

idk why it just wasn't working

it does clip though which is kind of annoying

There, no more clipping

[random pollen]

i have decided that the worse part about the curse ring is the phantoms

[open ruin]

why's that?

[random pollen]

cos its constant

also i dont have a roof

[open ruin]

Oh, so like even if you sleep they still spawn at you?

[random pollen]

so yeah this is me griping that ive not built an actual base and am living out in the open lol

[open ruin]

hey man

we all done the frontyard base

lol

hopefully once I get back on Vulu and I can move so we don't have to worry about these damn roamers, or phantoms for that matter

[lofty warren]

relocating Miski from the desert to this location seems to have worked, they are collecting resources 😄

[random pollen]

cool, good to know

[open ruin]

I made the suggestion about the magnum torches

you can hate me later.

[random pollen]

hmmph

why wait

lol

[open ruin]

I do have a very unlikeable personality

[random pollen]

ok thats a reasonable setup

[lofty warren]

hm might not have worked entirely

i mean Miski started breaking trees which i thought meant it worked

so i threw them some resources

but then they are just following me throwing back at me the resources

[random pollen]

trying to say they dont want them

lol

[open ruin]

hey, I mean

it's better than some voodoo magic torch

it actually makes sense

[glad heath]

Phantoms we just need to sleep

[random pollen]

it does make people engage in IE early , or create but way later

[open ruin]

right, create you need to do all the setup of making alternators

whereas with IE you just need, well that

and alternators are gated behind crafter

[random pollen]

still needs quartz for the solar panel too

[lofty warren]

do you think so? I have no clue what interactions are available with the Roamers and the mod page isn't very specific

if you can move them or not

[astral hearth]

You son of a gun, how am I gonna stop mobs from spawning, in my nether portal? Right in front of my salad?

[open ruin]

uh

I plead the fifth

You could setup a windmill in the nether?

[astral hearth]

Assuming that the contraption is explosion proof?

Let alone fireproof

[open ruin]

hide it really, really well

https://tenor.com/view/smart-thinking-thoughts-think-ponder-gif-7713620

[glad heath]

Me: claims area

Cinder: how about I ignore that chief

[astral hearth]

Vulu, do you agree to disagree to this suggestion?

[open ruin]

magnum torch bad

not immersive

need powered lanterns

[glad heath]

I mean it's 4 diamond for an area and there's also torches for passive or underwater mobs

[open ruin]

yes but hear me out

how easy is 4 diamonds versus going through IE

[astral hearth]

the former.

[glad heath]

I suppose.

[open ruin]

exactly

that's my point

[glad heath]

You could automate cobble slabs with create

And floor the nther around your portal

[open ruin]

that's true as well

if not a bit ghetto

[glad heath]

It'll look ugly AF tho

[lofty warren]

you can automate treated wood slabs too

with IE

have some more factory feel to it

[glad heath]

I like the look of the x plank boards

But I have trouble placing it cause it has orientation lol

[open ruin]

so, vulu

I think I'm gonna have to actually automate clay. Now that I don't have Will of the Ocean, getting the amount of bricks I need for this is gonna be gross

[glad heath]

Oh then whike I make the new house you can put the crushing wheels back on

And add a washer

[open ruin]

word

I've automated bricks before, so it shouldn't be too hard

can even setup some crafters do it most of the work

[glad heath]

Just need brass funnel

And yea

[open ruin]

ez

[random pollen]

https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/create-brass-coated

we need this right

[open ruin]

omfg

bruh that is HOT

please shove this in sharkies face asap

[glad heath]

Technically we could soul crystal that mob that drops brass slag and smelt og

It*

[open ruin]

brass slag smelts into brass?

[astral hearth]

That'd be useful.

[glad heath]

It was recent

Before it did nothing

Nuggets*

[astral hearth]

You know those youtube videos that do restoration content?

[glad heath]

Not ingots

[astral hearth]

It feels like that.

[open ruin]

hm

that would actually cut down my train casing factory by a lot

[astral hearth]

Note: this mod is in alpha state, expect bugs and lack of content!

Known bugs: non updating chain drive,

not working adjustable chain drive,

brass pipes can't be bracketed

girder shaft encasing

[glad heath]

It would help if the resource mod worked

So we can see what mov dropped the dlag

Slag

[open ruin]

my first guess would be the cog knight

[astral hearth]

Railwayman is one.

[random pollen]

ah bugger we cant use that brass casing mod with 0.51

rip

[open ruin]

:c

[lofty warren]

i think you can get slag also from the supply mob

[lofty warren]

ummm is the Elder Eye and the Guardian Eye used in the same way? Or there is a chance that the Guardian Eye will be dropped and the Elder one is used for ... something else?

[open ruin]

I guess I'm not the only one who needs to learn reading comprehension.

different mod entirely

not related

[lofty warren]

thanks

any clue what that is used for?

[random pollen]

Elder Eyes can be placed in any direction and underwater. When any entity (except Paintings and Item Frames) is within 15 blocks of where it is facing, it will create a strong redstone signal from all sides. Right click the Eye to toggle it on or off.

so its a spy cam

[open ruin]

so, apparently

in upgrade aquatic

you can make a renewable sand farm

Renewable sand via bubble columns below sandstone;

[random pollen]

and it will just bubble sand up?

interesting

[open ruin]

im playing around with it now, it seems like it spawns it as a block

need to figure out a way to push it while gravity is affecting it

[lofty warren]

create fan?

[random pollen]

makes you wonder how many other generators we're unaware of

[open ruin]

yeah, would have never known

im just curious as to how to actually make this efficient

[lofty warren]

wait bubble column below sandstone? do bubbles travel above the sandstone then?

[open ruin]

eventually they do convert into items, but there has to be a way to make it faster

ah, sticky pistons

sticky pistons do not seem to be the answer...

maybe just regular pistons

[lofty warren]

can you ss the setup?

[open ruin]

@random pollen Mechanical piston pushing the sand block into a slab. it works great

[random pollen]

ah yeah a slab would push it up

[open ruin]

no no

the slab breaks it

[random pollen]

yeah thats what i meant

[open ruin]

shit, what was that block called

you can rotate something 90 degrees, wait, rotate -90 degrees, end

sequential gearshift

[astral hearth]

Oh the gearbox?

[open ruin]

uhoh

it broke the piston

[astral hearth]

Did you break their piston extender?

[open ruin]

yeah

I hate gravity mechanics

🤔

I don't understand how you're suppose to automate this

[lofty warren]

if it is placed as a block, is the issue breaking it or moving it?

cause fans can definitely move items that are affected by gravity

[open ruin]

@random pollen @astral hearth sticky piston the soul sand with a redstone clock. setup 2 source water blocks vertically, then have water flow downward off the side on the third and place sandstone on top

free sand

no cobblegen required

It looks like you get 1 sand every 2 seconds

[random pollen]

nothing too crazy then, thats good

[open ruin]

nope

literally just a sticky piston, soulsand, and water

and a redstone clock

[random pollen]

well i meant the output not being too crazy 😛

only 1800 sand an hour lol

[open ruin]

ah, well yeah

definitely not faster than Create

but this is just one setup

You never really only have one drill going for a cobblegen 😛

I'm not entirely sure why the sand is breaking

but I'm happy that it is

increasing the clock speed doesn't seem to make it any more effective

[lofty warren]

does it matter if the bubble column is upwards one (soul sand) or downward one (magma)?

[random pollen]

thats a good question, it does just say bubble column

[lofty warren]

i still don't quite understand if it spawns it on top of the water as a placed block? is it floating so it just needs a block update status to drop in the water as an entity?

i'll see if there is a video or something

https://youtu.be/_jtKR4gU8Sw?t=61

i get how it works now 😄

the upwards bubble column will move the block and break it, otherwise it won't

if i want to insulate my armor, how can i do that and will it affect the armor attributes?

i guess using the sewing table?

ah nevermind

[random pollen]

yeah sewing and it just adds a new tag

[lofty warren]

and you repeat until full bar 😄

but hey i did get a nice achievements of "setting yourself on fire to prevent freezing"

lol

[random pollen]

yeah

if youre fire immune but not extinguishable you would never go cold ;p

[lofty warren]

yeah the but where you can have multiple spellstones equipped will come in handy lol

i somehow figured out how to activate the door of the ancient mines ... but it closed after it was half-way open and it is not reacting again 😦 i hope i didn't break it

[astral hearth]

Would a Blaze origin but lives in the cold tundras survive with chill resistance

[south copper]

The nether is truely a place with that ring

[plain flower]

That's so dope

I forgot I dug a little tunnel and warmed it up with ignited netherrack...

Now I need to run 5k home

[lofty warren]

in the new create version, are waterwheels still directional?

or not anymore?

[random pollen]

not any more

and you dont have to surround them to get full speed/power

and you can hit them with any wood to color them

[pale island]

is it.... possible for zombies... to evolve...?

i had a regular zombie here when i logged off

i named him george

he had a noble outfit

i liked him

he's now a big large slugger and i hate him

[delicate cloak]

george does that sometimes

he just grew up

hes trying out a new style

let him express himself

[pale island]

okay

he's grown up

it's time to leave home

i don't want him anymroe

[delicate cloak]

leave him some armor or something

give him something...

[astral hearth]

George is a nice man.

[random pollen]

that zombie just hit the gym when you were out

hes looking after themself

[shut valley]

George speaks in calories

[marsh jay]

In George we trust

[lofty warren]

got to say, idas structures with the texts written in them are delight to explore and read 😄

[random pollen]

yeah he spent a long time writing them

also tinkers tower is super easy to clear if you never step on the pressure plates turning the fans on etc 😛

[lofty warren]

yeah but then you won't have all those 48k SU being activated

to be fair, it is very easy to clear if you just collect all the ladders from the wall and use them to go down/up in opportunistic places 😄

[random pollen]

go look under the first platform you land on from the house itself

you'll see the remote links

when you need to turn it on, just stand on a plate above one of them :p

[astral hearth]

Hey shad, since I recently just got into Create, aside from the water wheel and copper backtank pressurized air, what contraption would you recommend that I do?

[cunning tapir]

is there something like ultime in this modpack?

[lofty warren]

i think there are different ones on different levels

cause it doesn't activate all at once

there are like 5 different generating setups ... cause i placed stressometers in different places to find how much is generated

17856+3904+4608+9728+10112=46208 su total available, assuming you haven't deactivated the pulleys at the bottom

[random pollen]

yeah theres multiple sets of waterwheel setups

but all are triggered by the pressure plates at the bottom of the ladders

[cunning tapir]

: is there something like ultime in this modpack?

[random pollen]

nah

you can use create to chop entire trees down and make quarries with but thats about it

[lofty warren]

yeah but i mean different level ladders. not all the same one, i might have misunderstood what you meant 😄

also the one with the pulley elevator is triggered when you try to use the elevator 😄

[lofty warren]

use create saw + handcrank for trees

you need to cut off all but 1 of the lowest blocks and then use the saw on that (if the tree is with wider trunk)

[cunning tapir]

and for mining?

[random pollen]

nothing for mining

[lofty warren]

well immersive engineering has some drill stuff

but i have never done those

[random pollen]

true, so lets say nothing early game

[lofty warren]

so not sure if they work like that

[random pollen]

but you can spec into the mining speed skill

[cunning tapir]

hmm k

how can i spec into skills?

[lofty warren]

make a skill book

it is part of the starting quests

[cunning tapir]

ty

[lofty warren]

once you make it, it is unlocked in your inventory crafting slot

so you don't need to carry it around

you can access it from there

it works also as xp bank

[random pollen]

its under improvable skills in the quests , funnily enough

[cunning tapir]

thanks bro

[shut valley]

cant tetra have like vein miner thing?

[random pollen]

oh, now that you mention it

ok it definitely has 3x3 mining

[lofty warren]

hmmm

anyone got clue that boss that says you need a horn to spawn it.. how do you get the horn?

[random pollen]

ice maze boss?

captain cornelia ?

[glad heath]

Killing pillagers on the ship

[random pollen]

yeah if thats the one you mean

the captain will drop the horn

huh, that mod has a set of armor that refills o2

i wonder if that works with thin air

[lofty warren]

ooh

the ship that is nearby?

[random pollen]

yeah

[lofty warren]

huh i thought it was a weird spawn thing 😦

now i have to go travel back to it

[random pollen]

ok the armor set does work with thin air

but

this is what you get to see

once the o2 runs out it refllls

thiiiink i'll stick with create

[glad heath]

F5

Or create a texture pack to remove it :P

[random pollen]

or i'll just keep using create :p

[pale island]

anyone know how to config the open parties and claims mod?
/openpac-claims and such just says there's no option key

[delicate cloak]

open the config folder

[lofty warren]

i just found this in a chest on the ship next to the ice maze quest ?

[delicate cloak]

thats because the chest you found was using the end fortress loot table

if i were to guess

[lofty warren]

yep, my guess is a library stronghold chest

god damn it... how are you supposed to kill the ghost it keeps regenerating :S

i killed her... and while dying she killed me 😦

😮

oh wow, i started worrying that my screen is making a problems my having a weird refresh rate and moving ... when i was actually freezing 😄

[pale island]

there is none sir

i tried looking before

[delicate cloak]

yes there is

check the defaultconfig folder

the serverconfig folder

and the config folder

[pale island]

the only mod with the letter o at hte beginning is oculus

same in regular config ofc

[shut valley]

serverconfig in world folder

[pale island]

didn't even know that existed

got it

thanks

[shut valley]

what you tryna do?

[pale island]

give others ability to attack mobs in others claims

some reason out of nowhere we weren't able to attack zombies and stuff that were attacking us

in someone elses claim

[shut valley]

so you could before?

[pale island]

so we just had to run

yeah

didn't update the server or anything

and just suddenly after logging on just boom

unable to

[lofty warren]

ok the eel in the ice maze adventure thing ... is terrifying

forget the warden

that here is the real nightmare 😄

[plain flower]

Have you fought the boss yet?

[lofty warren]

yes

it was tough and i killed it.. but it killed me too??

😄

had to walk a long way

[plain flower]

Oh wait is the eel another boss? I haven't fought the captain in this pack yet but I know I will die a few times at minimum.

Considering the only reason she didn't kill me on Prominence Forge is because I was a vampire and had a good bit of life leech... idk if I'll actually win. lol.

Question... If I make another tempad, will it let me save more locations?

Or are they connected via playerdata?

[open ruin]

Each pad is unique

[lofty warren]

ooh so 12 more locations?

niice

[open ruin]

So despite making a local, if you lose the pad, you also lose the data

[lofty warren]

it is a smaller boss i think, but looks scarrier lol

the captain was tough :S

all that flying

the eel looked wardenlike and used some sort of sonic boom (at least the visuals of it)

[plain flower]

Thanks Gris c:

Ohh that's cool!

[lofty warren]

so the captain boss dropped me a map to this place and a frozen key

[plain flower]

Good luck finding the chest xD

[lofty warren]

and i thought the chest was here and now i think that was a wrong assumption 😄

[plain flower]

I was never able to find it after ~2 hours of searching

[delicate igloo]

you guys

any idea how i could make floating text

or giant screens with text displaying?

i am on a server

[lofty warren]

hmmmm so I accidentally triggered a raid around my base. My resident librarian is offering lower prices now, so definitely acknowledging the hero of the village status... but is not gifting items

i haven't had villagers gift items in a while so did the mechanics change ?

cause one of the skills is listed to require that

[lofty warren]

where did you look for it

because i noticed now the item says "chest below the maze"

so i am thinking it might be below that spiral thingie

ooo i got the skill 😄

[lofty warren]

i am reading now that maybe the chest is supposed to be in the shelter? but i did not find a chest that would require a key

if you haven't found a shelter yet i can show you how it looks on the surface

the map that the captain dropped took me to one over 1.5k blocks away, so i don't think they spawn as often as the maze/ships

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2P5w9AkEiQ - this mod spotlight video makes it look as if it is in a structure - either the shelter or some ship :S

ok i found it

it was in the shelter

a part of it i didn't explore the first time

[delicate igloo]

man it would be so great to have some large boards to write text on

[lofty warren]

vanilla solution 😄 huge wool signs 😄

[delicate igloo]

haha

[lofty warren]

old school pixel art made fashionable again because of minecraft 😄

[lofty warren]

is there a way to trade for neutilus shells?

i am missing like 5 so I can craft the last eye i need :S

[little orbit]

not that i remember but i got it from drowned

[lofty warren]

yeah i discovered there is a type of block you find near the sea that you can smelt for them

but it is not obvious to find

[little orbit]

hmm ill let you know a easy way to find one when i can

[lofty warren]

well... there is a skill scroll to obtain through fishing and i have a bunch of books with lure and luck of the sea 😄

i can just have a chill moment

[little orbit]

its a vibe for sure (especially when you play hard plus cursed mode)

[lofty warren]

nah, that's too stressful for me

but fishing is complicated right now and the season mod has messed up the water sources nearby lol

i guess i can try to find the stronghold and clean it out while the season pass

fishing is a nice thing to do while watching something 😄

[little orbit]

it is and be prepared for the stronghold it actually looks very cool

[lofty warren]

oh i had a look in my old world in spectator

cause someone else mentioned it

i saw a very cool statue room

but it was so large so i don't remember anything else

someone however started a new seed today or yesterday and said they traveled a bit, made a base, started digging in the basement and suddenly got the Eye Spy achievement 😄

the stronghold was literally in their basement

[little orbit]

yoo that actually cool knowing whats inside of the stronghold

[lofty warren]

it was a dragon statue

[little orbit]

yea it was

thats the lowest floor (i think)

just be tanked and have enough healing

[lofty warren]

i got my dense skin skill at 15 😄

it is quite expensive now

[plain flower]

hmm. Enchanting skill and ability don't work together?

[lofty warren]

however stuff that ignores armor makes me bad 😄

[little orbit]

yea it is well your in normal mode so you should be fineee

[lofty warren]

they don't?

[little orbit]

idk

[lofty warren]

is the dragon modded or vanilla?
