[1.7.10][Beta][HQM] Jovian - Custom Ores, Mob Drops, and More

[Biochao]

The year is 2049.
To combat global desertification you were chosen to start a space colony on Jupiter's largest moon, Ganymede, however, something went terribly wrong while traveling though the asteroid belt.
Amidst the chaos you were able to reprogram the autopilot to set a course for Callisto instead.
Landing on the most heavily cratered object in the solar system was much more difficult.
You made it out alive, but your ship did not.​

​

You are the only inhabitant of the Jovian planetary system.
Now it is up to you to gather enough resources and try to find a way off the barren moon.
Fight custom monsters, discover new ores, and combat the poisonous Callistoan atmosphere.​

All space travel done here will be with RFtools Teleportation. Galacticraft is not in this pack.

Some EnderIO and Thermal Expansion alloys now spawn as ores:

Spoiler: Custom Ores

Darksteel Ore can be found under the Callistoan subterranean ocean.

Redstone Alloy Ore occasionally spawns with Redstone ore.

Energetic Ore spawns in Netherrack on Io

Soularium Ore spawns in Soul sand on Io

Vibrant Ore spawns in obsidian stalagmites on Io and in the End

Pulsating ore spawns in endstone blobs on Io and in the End

Lumium Ore spawns in glowstone patches on Io

Signalum Ore spawns under lava on Io

Enderium Ore spawns in endstone blobs on Io and in the End

Mobs have been edited in this pack so that mobs occasionally drop logs when they die (slightly more common than potatoes/carrots). Chickens do "interesting" things in different environments. (Like drop spawn eggs) Experiment with different locations to get different spawn eggs. Other mobs also drop new items if they die in different ways. Try lighting them on fire!

This pack looks awesome! I love those custom roguelike dungeons.

 

[Pyure]

Nice stuff biochao, and some rather unique ideas. Love the adaptable chickens.

Your intro is very well-written, looks professional. "A midst" is one word, however

 

[GamerwithnoGame]

Holy moly that sounds amazing!!! those custom ores are extremely sweet also!

 

[Yulife]

I agree. You pulled those textures off quite nicely!

Darn it spell check, you failed me...

Mob Properties is awesome! Just being able to have chickens drop passive mob eggs when killed is great. But having them additionally drop Villager spawn eggs when killed on Emerald Blocks or Bat spawn eggs when below y=40 is awesome!
I welcome a new era of chicken experimentation!

 

[DidaRS]

Can I beta test?!? Plizzzz!

 

[Orien]

Sounds like a great idea! Best of luck to you!

 

[darthwesix]

this sounds amazing

 

[Biochao]

Jovian Disaster is now on the launcher for testing with the Pack Code: jovian

What I'm looking for from testing is that you are able to reach the end goal, return the overworld. To do that you must make a Matter Transmitter/Receiver and Dialing Device, travel to Io, go through the Roguelike Dungeon. At the end of the dungeon there will be an End Portal. Kill the dragon to create a portal to the overworld.
I also want to know:

• how difficult is the Roguelike Dungeon (I'll be adding custom spawners and loot)
• do the current quests guide you enough to get back to the overworld
• does the required Resource Pack work for you
• are the any ways to progression jump (are there any ways other than RFtools to teleport/return to the overworld)
• do mobs drop a sufficient amount of custom drops
• any bugs you encounter while testing
• any suggestions you have

 

[Chazwade]

This looks pretty neat! Might play this when i get free time from not making my own pack!

edit: Just played, and the build is amazing love it! But you should know that you seem to of accidentally left the quest book in edit mode, its still playable, just something that seems like you'd like reporting back to you

 

[Orien]

Looks fantastic! Will try ASAP!

Mobs have been edited in this pack so that Zombies and Creepers occasionally drop plants when they die (slightly more common than potatoes/carrots). Chickens do "interesting" things in different environments. (Like drop spawn eggs) Experiment with different locations to get different spawn eggs.

This is probably one of the most creative and coolest ideas for modpack features I have ever seen in my life.
Very nice!

I will defenently play this modpack straight away. I'll come with my opinions later!

EDIT: OK, so I played for a while and here is my opinion on it so far:
First of all, starting out with a stack of porkchop, 16 bread and a few meat ingots was pretty boring, as this pretty much settled your food for a very very long time. Every modpack always gets that much more interesting when you make sure food is a problem early game. One suggestion is Hunger Overhaul.

I did however like that you start out with alot of wood - I always found it annoying in modpacks like Agrarian Skies to grind for wood for so long.

Theres a few grammar mistakes, but this is of course not a big deal. It's still fun to read through the questbook.

The ship is very well made. I love it! The starter dimension is also very cool. It's a lot of fun to traverse!

Finally, theres one huge problem which need to be fixed ASAP: You start with the questbook in editor mode! This means people can do anything. Change rewards, quests, delete requirements etc.

All in all, a nice and fun refreshing modpack so far. I of course haven't gotten far into it at all, so I don't have much else to say. Nice work!

For some reason, my pick does not upgrade the mining level... Already switched the head to a flint one, tried adding mob heads(zombie and skellie), mined enough to get 2 skill levels but the mining level does not change from stone.

I also noticed that the tooltip does not show any info about the mining level progression or boosted status. Only says mining level: stone...

Edit: just made a new one and this one has mining level... Seems the wooden pick that is in the chest might be kinda bugged...

 

[NunoAgapito]

• do the current quests guide you enough to get back to the overworld
• do mobs drop a sufficient amount of custom drops
• any bugs you encounter while testing

Still at the beginning but... your first quests need a little more details. You start like, go here, find that, kill mob X times and then you jump to give me mineral X that needs pickaxes to be leveled up, smelteries built and all kind of stuff.... Unless I am missing something, a couple more of steps, so the progression is not so steppe.

II also havent seen a custom drop from any mob, only the chickes...

Bugs... again, the bugged wodden pickaxe in the chest.

 

[Orien]

So far it's a great pack, the only problem is the quests at the beginning need more depth and I'm not sure how the atomosphere/ poison works, because some time I get struck randomly within the base.

I have the feeling that poison is being given by the RFTools dimension and it seems to apply when you are below some light level number.

Ok, light level does not affect it afterall.... Got say that this is really annoying. No health regen, always poisoned, living with half an heart... No counter to the poison... Maybe too much?

Edit: with so much dead involved.... any kind of gravestone so we dont loose items would be very appreciated

Ah, the gamerule was still off. I had only re-enabled it in the tCon config. I was originally intending it to be an ultra hardcore style pack but going through a Roguelike Dungeon with out health regen would not be fun.
The poison is from being in that dimension, but as long as you are within a 25 block radius of the Environmental Controller or have a Dark Helm in your inventory you shouldn't have poison at all. There will be a quest explaining this in the next update.

For the next update I've turned harvest level tweaks off. I've also replaced the pick for a bit more creatively put together one.

I still get poisoned with the dark helm. 1 sec poison effect that comes and goes but still happens.
About the harvest levels, I actually love them. Shame they are going away.
