I'm trying to progress towards the end of this pack, and Mystical Agriculture requires tons, tons, tons, tons of Inferium. Seems I have to move my map to a server but not sure it will work. This is kind of a non-sense to waste CPU cycle waiting for mobs to die and then come back later to get the stuff. Seems to be a trend with many packs nowadays. Hypnotizd faced the same problem in Project Ozone 3; he had to have his game run hours and hours on a server to get 10k+ of some resources. There should be better ways than this.
The Draconic Evolution chapter is driving me totally insane. The recipes were changed to be way harder and that will just never end. Awakened ingots were replaced with Awakened BLOCKS and Wyvern core require fusion crafting. I just cannot remember all of these recipes so I try to automate them with AE2 and that is a miserable failure, unless I craft ONE ITEM at a time. I tried the slimeball trick I saw Hypnotizd doing and that just fails as well. The system removes the slimeball prematurely and that just causes AE2 to push new items and the crafts completely fail. Seems there is no other solution than installing Refined Storage which has a better blocking mode, but that is just a real non-sense. If I really have to add a mod to this pack, I'd be better add something that will directly automate this fusion table, maybe even modular machines that could provide a machine that would directly accept the input ingredients, take RF and create the output. Any idea?
I am stuck with yet another issue. When I launch my world, it takes more than 45 seconds (after more than 5 minutes to start the pack), and then I get "shutting down the internal server" and the game crashes. This is really annoying, because I searched and cannot find any way to speed up the start of the game. The crash log has no useful information, except there was yet another ConcurentModificationException because of silly Java iterators not allowing to modify the iterated over collections and all mods doing all sorts of stuff concurrently. This worked in the past, I didn't update the pack nor the JVM, and then I cannot start my world anymore. I cannot continue playing that game if I have a limited time to complete packs, and then they go out of life and cannot start at all after a while.
Right before my game became unusable, starting to crash at world load, I was in the Aether trying to get the entrance to the Slider's Labyrinth. I searched for that totem for more than 3 hours without any result. Seems since the update to 3.6.0, something changed and the totem isn't generated anymore. I saw Direwolf20 find this entrance and defeat both the Slider and the Valkirie queen, but I'm stuck. Is it because packs now have a limited time duration and after a while, things break and we have to switch pack. That pretty much irons out non-kithensink packs for me then because I am working full time and can just play during weekends.
Hi again, after logging out and back in, the two previously discovered constellations reappeared so I was able to attune, get the minor constellation papers (from loot bags) and create the ritual pedestal and anchor, completing the Astral Sorcery chapter. The difficulty to discover additional constellation will prevent me from choosing what my player will be attuned to and to experiment with rituals and attuned wands, but at least I'm not blocked anymore in the progression.
This doesn't work at all. The mod offers absolutely no clue to figure out what constellation is in there. The mouse pointer doesn't snap anywhere, forcing me to restart, restart, restart, and I cannot find any complete constellation. I'm starting to think that even though I'm not attuned yet, the telescope shows all minor constellations, and that completely blows my mind. I cannot remember the patterns of the four major constellation so I'm always mixed up and cannot find out what the points are suposed to link. That thus stops my progression there. I understand now that expert-style modpacks are not for me but this is the hard and very frustrating way.
I'm still blocked with Astral Sorcery. Somehow, discovered constellations reset and now the sky only shows parts of constallations. Many pages showed by the telescope have no stars brighter than the others, and the others have stars forming part of a constellation, but there is always something missing. It takes me more than 5 minutes figuring this out, so I don't have enough time to get anything discovered until day time, and then I have to wait 15 minutes before I can try again. This is excessively frustrating, because no matter how hard I try, it fails, and I already discovered two constellations which don't show up anymore in the sky. The problem is that the pack makes this mandatory in staged and gated modes in order to reach Thaumcraft. Blood Magic would also help, providing a ritual that makes it night time, but access to Blood Magic is also gated by Astral Sorcery.
Attaching images of partially present constellation, and sky without any special stars.
Hi, anybody was able to go through the Power of Stars chapter of the pack, version 3.5.0. The constellation discovery just does NOT work. The looking glass and telescope show a bunch of stars, but they are constantly appearing and disappearing. Anything can be linked together to form what looks like a valid constellation, but the mod doesn't detect them, so I cannot "discover" any constellation. After a couple of minutes, it is day time again and I have to wait ten minutes until I can try again. This is not a problem per se, as I could skip that part of the mod, but the questbook makes it mandatory to find at least one constellation to attune to it, in order to get the constellation papers for the minor constellations. This is a real non sense. I tried for at least five nights, without any success. I know about a ritual from Blood Magic that could make it nighttime, but Blood Magic is locked behind Astral Sorcery.
More and more concerned about this issue, I tried in a test world to cheat a minimal AE2 system with auto-crafting, and I was able to auto-craft a Machine Frame, which is a staged recipe. So AE2 still correctly works around the RecipeStages mod. But all pre-AE2 auto-crafting a Itried so far fails.
I am more and more sorry to notice that absolutely no auto-crafting is possible on this pack for any staged recipe. All autocrafting blocks react differently. Some don't craft, some destroy the crafting materials, some seem to craft but this i sjust an on-screen display.
I tried the assembly halo and worktable in 3.5.0, and both don't work well with non-vanilla or staged items, not sure which one. When right-clicking on a recipe memorized by the halo, the recipe just clears and that's it. The worktable won't craft any staged item. It appears it crafted, but if I close and reopen my inventory, everything undoes and nothing gets crafted. The worktable also cannot memorize any staged recipe.
I know there was a bug in an earlier 3.4 version of the pack preventing nearly all AE2 auto-crafting to work, so I'm concerned this bug extends to any auto-crafting and is back again. Anybody got success with AE2 auto-crafting since 3.5.0? I still didn't reach AE2, but if I'll try in a test world if I cannot find any evidence it works or not, because it's kind of a show stopper for me if I have no chance to get AE2 auto-crafting in this pack. It's likely this pack, which is a couple of months old, will receive less updates.
I didn't know this got removed. Indeed, piping is quite weak in this pack when playing in staged or gated mode, until you get to Mekanism. I found no energy pipe from BuildCraft, so first power transfer I got was through Immersive Engineering cables. For items and fluids, without BuildCraft, you pretty much have FactoryTech and Immersive Engineering. Item conveyors are pretty horrible when you have a ring of magnetization so I ended up using chains of hoppers or ESDs.
Hi,
I was reflecting about pre-AE2 crafting helpers and could come up with these. Which one would be the best?
- Structured crafters
- Factory tech crafter
- Botania crafting halo
- Mekanism formulaic assembler
- Forestry worktable
The worktable may be particularly useful, capable of memorizing recipes. There could be one such worktable per mod, to help (re)crafting basic components.
Not sure what to do now. Yes I could do all sorts of other quests in chapters not depending on Embers completion, but I'd like to get AE2 as soon as possible, and Embers is in my way. From past experiences in other games, if I need to start cheating items or bypass parts of the progression, this goes on and on until the end; things continue to break and become harder and harder, requiring more and more cheating.
Still struggling with that. I aligned my setup with what I saw in some videos, tried different placements of the alchemical pedestals, nothing happens. I have 1920 mb of molten lead and 960 mb of molten sugar in the mixer centrifuge, there is 2120 ember in the centrifuge, the alchemical recombulator is hooked up to the side of the top block, I tried to break and replace the recombulator countless number of times, I have silfer and dawnstone aspecti on the pedestals just adjacent to the recombulator, I put 16 piles of ashes in each, nothing, no alchemical waste, no antimony.
I'm attaching a picture of my setup in case it can help figure out if something went wrong (I really hope to be wrong and find a way out of this).
At this point, my only hope is to get a signet of antimony from a villager trade, not sure it's even possible. If it is, maybe the Amadron tablet would display that trade at some point. Being blocked by a non-sense quest is very frustrating. I'm more and more considering the possibility of removing the gamestages mod to stop being blocked by it and the BQM mod as well because it often requires hackery with bq_admin, and I really dislike that. I saw many many times Youtubers like Hypnotizd and Direwolf20 tweak with bq_admin to work around broken quests. If quests cannot be tested, there should not be quests and the progression should around the crafting of items (maybe with tweaked recipes).
Im stuck with a quest involving an undocumented block that doesn't work as the questbook says. The Antimony quest says that I need to place an alchemical recombulator on on the top side of the mixer centrifuge and add pedestals. I did that, I have molten sugar and molten lead in the centrifuge, I have the five pedestals with aspecti and ashes, but nothing happens. I tried shooting ember at the mixer centrifuge, I tried shooting a bean of energy (with the bean cannon) at the recombulator, no effect, nothing happens. The block is not documented anywhere, not in the Ember book, even searching on Google gives nothing. Maybe something got changed because of Embers replaced with the Rekindled version. Anybody else had issues with this quest?
What? That makes no sense, sorry. I saw Direwolf20 play and he had to fight the dragon. So now experience vary from one machine to the other? Really weird.
