So, I started a new world on the direwolf20 modpack (with blloood magic installed) and spawned in the middle of an ocean. Instead of scrapping the world and trying again, i decided to go along with it. To make my life a little easier, I went creative and killed a squid for its morph. Also, after trying to mine some blocks, I decided I needed aqua affinity, so I spawned in a monocle and put aqua affinity X on it. (squid morph should have aqua affinity on it by default IMO) I am also giving myself night vision potions for more visible screenshots. I will eventually switch to an ars magica spell or something, but it works for now.

So I decided to start documenting my progress about halfway through my epic journey, so bear with me here. When I spawned in and got set up, I found a lot of railcraft abyssal stone underwater, and investigated a couple. I found a few oreberries growing and decided to take them with. I decided i wanted to find land as a first priority, so I started swimming south. I found some coral reefs, which are really pretty.

Despite their beauty, aboslutely none of it is edible. Which is a shame because I'm dying over here. I also found a kelp forest:

Alright, after all of the pretty biomes, I continue swimming, until I notice strange tunnel-like structures on my minimap. Upon investigation:

OH MY GOD IT'S WOOD. I gather a few pieces then find this:

COBWEBS!!! If I get a sword, I can get some string! and with that string, I can craft a fishing pole! I can get food in this watery wasteland!

Oh, and this place looks really interesting in the cavemap:

Anyways, back to the game: Lets get some freaking food already!

Only one hunger? screw that. I'm cooking this stuff.

Just an inventory update after gathering some stone and crafting a furnace:

Just gathering 3 fish so I can smelt with optimal efficiency. I don't have infinite wood, after all.

Smelting the first batch!

I cooked two batches of three fish, and Yay! I'm regenerating health! oh frabjous day!

Just thought I'd mention this at the end here, but I crafted a stone pick to go with my axe.

That's all for nowI I have a stable source of food, some wood and decent tools. I'm going to gather more wood and stone as well as get some tinkers construct going for now, so post what I should do next!

EDIT: does anyone know if I can resize images on these forums? it will get annoying to have to do it manually.

Update: decided against doing tinkers construct until I get a more permanent settlement as all of the patterns would just fill my inventory. I did loot some of the railcraft geode things and got 5 diamonds and 5 emeralds, as well as a stack of wood and a black backpack from project red. I also looted a few caves and my inventory looks like this now:

So, I'm going to update the modpack as I'm using a really depreciated version, and the arcane compendium text is irritating me. My next goal is to find a nice place to settle down and make tinkers construct stuff and a portal to the twilight forest. I will make an RP recipe for grass, one raw fish + 1 dirt = 1 grass block. That way I can get the necessary materials without going to dry land.

Alright, I know what happened. I was trying to start a world with some ars magica starter stuff, and had made one, but had the roughelike dungeons mod installed, which I thought I uninstalled due to lack of modded dungeon loot, making it not fit in too well. After I screwed around for a good hour or two, I deleted that world, uninstalled the dungeon mod, and made a new world with the same name, and spawned at the bottom of an ocean. I later deleted the world because I thought that it was teh world that I was screwing around on. Oops. I will do another go, so anyone have a good seed for me? I don't have the seed for the previous world anymore.
