Those sound pretty awesome. Only problem would be finding a way to incorporate it into world gen, would take a custom mod just for the job. That said, there's at the very least still some Gravestone Mausoleums out there just waiting for you to find and explore ;)

edit: spelling

A pack that I enjoyed was Crash Landing. He may wish to talk to those guys as they did have some custom world gen through an older mod that originally made city biomes. Beyond that, I really think it would be nice if there were a mod that acted like a director. Where HQMcould be used to trigger events in the game and then the director could Gen/Retrogen things into the map. May be with some cool effects. It would be inetersting, but a lot of work and really I am not a coder. Would not know where to start.

I'm loving the pack, i have been trying to create a server as i enjoy it that much, i sorted out a few of the issues but now i have a problem with the seed when i make a world. when i make the world no matter what i change in the CC config i get small islands with massive ocean biomes. is there any way to get large islands with oceans? or is there a plugin to make seperate islands? i tried multiverse but i dont think its what im looking for.

Thanks in advance.

Well I'm up to episode 19 and today I retreat to the Spirit World and start to make my way through the early quests again, focusing on the new changes to Agricraft with the goal to establish Botania flower crops before I dive into Maricultre/Tinkers

Honestly, i can't think of this being anything other than a run of bad luck with the world gen. Keep trying and you should get a decent seed. When I was setting up my server I just copied over a world that I liked from my single player experiments.

It took me a min to make floral fertilizer to get enough flowers to test what you asked. I only hole 1 stack of each color. I seem once it fills it will just place it in your inventory. But you can craft more pouches, they are only 5 wool and 1 flower petal.

Ahh, nice to hear. I have three double chests filled with botania flowers. At least I'll put something else in those chests while I run around with the flowers in my inventory.

Well I cast the obsidian by pouring lava blocks and the water on top, the set wood near the portal frame and set a lava source under that
It does some pretty weird things when I went through, and dragged me back to the real world portal

There is another way of obtaining nether stuff in the spirit world. Think about what exactly you did to progress through the nether stuff the first time. Then take another look at your questbook. That's as far as I'm going to give you hints, as I think part of the fun of the spirit world is figuring it out. :p

Agreed, I figure it'll be the hard yards up till getting copper, then it'll be all down hill

Bug report: clicked mooshroom item in new that had herbs under it? Crashed to desktop. Not exactly a huge issue, It was a passing curiosity while trying to figure out why I can't scan grass.

Technically, you don't even need to get copper seeds to get an ender chest in the spirit world.
True, you could just do the blaze rod and copper essence repeat quest at least enough to get the copper seeds and 8 time to get one set of rods. to me personally it's less painfull than just going through the setup process again

If you're going to do that, why not just make the blaze seeds? Getting 8 that way is easier. And as for copper, you need 8 obsidian, which is probably easiest to get in a vat. Still a lot of farming, but not as much back and forth dimension jumping.

Trying to make a spawn sheep egg, and its not working
Using
2 White Wool
3 Exp Drops
1 Egg
2 Wheat

What am I doing wrong?

Hey djcosmic2,

Welcome to the crazy world of 0.71 - this build is a bit more alpha-y than previous (still much love for the pack, thank you TPL!), but rivvest put together a pretty solid FAQ that will help you out with this issue, and hopefully a few others you may not have hit yet.

In this big list, look for "===== [2.0] 0.71 BUGS =====" and you'll see the sheep fix right after, section 2.1. Hope this helps!

===== Regrowth FAQ =====

Regrowth is available on the FTB Launcher (http://www.feed-the-beast.com), under the Third Party Packs tab.
The official Regrowth forum thread is at http://forum.feed-the-beast.com/threads/57184/.
This FAQ was started with the 0.65 alpha release of Regrowth. Version-specific bugs will be noted as such.


===== [1.0] UPGRADING FROM 0.65 TO 0.7x =====

[1.1] Why is it taking so long to load my world?
In 0.70, many changes to the quest line cause HQM to spend a good amount of time figuring out how to update everything. As this still doesn't work properly, and you are comfortable doing so (make a backup of the world first!) go in and delete the minecraft/saves/<world>/HardcoreQuesting/players.dat file. This will reset all players' quest progress (a necessary step for upgrading anyway, see below).

[1.2] What changes should I be aware of regarding Agricraft and crop from prior versions?
0.70 introduced Garden Soil as a requirement for growing Botania flowers and Magical Crops. Botania flowers must be planted on UNTILLED Garden Soil. At this time, there is no way to turn TILLED Garden Soil back into UNTILLED Garden Soil. Botania flowers and Magical Crops will not grow until they are replanted on the proper soil.

Cross-breeding between different plant types no longer results in stat increases. Sorry, no more using 10/10/10 sugar cane to boost the stats of the other plants.

Mutations will now only receive the average of the stats of their parents, not the full stats - so breeding 10/10/10 wheat with 10/10/10 carrots will get you 5/5/5 sugar cane.

[1.3] How do I upgrade from 0.65 to 0.71?
Regrowth is still in alpha, and often quests are being added, removed, and ordering changed, which causes some difficulties when upgrading. Additional, some retro-active world generation occurs with this update, resulting in some lag during the first load in the new version.

Note: Always take a backup of your world first! Do not apply these steps to your original save. In case of error, you can start over and try again.

Note: The time investment is proportional to how many quests you have completed. In my case, I had around 180 complete, and this process took me about 30 minutes.


The initial upgrade of a world takes some time, be patient and ignore the HardcoreQuesting errors in the console, they are really just warnings. Keep waiting. My world takes around 5 minutes to upgrade, on a high-end system. Alternatively, you can delete the minecraft/saves/<world>/HardcoreQuesting/players.dat file prior to upgrading to speed things up. If you go this route, you can skip the steps to reset the book below, and begin on manual quest completion.
Once the world has loaded, pause your game -- there's still things happening in the background and you will notice lag. In my case, I found that waiting a few minutes then restarting Minecraft entirely got rid of that lag.

Now, onto the quest book. You'll notice that all of your reputation is lost, only Chapter 1 is available, and that it is a mishmash of completed quests. Fixing this is what's going to take the most time. Dump all of your inventory into some chests. The basic process will be to complete quests, collect rewards, then dump those rewards (unless you want to be a cheater and get double credit :p). Having a completely empty inventory makes this faster. Find a safe spot to stand where you can toss items away (I went for the ocean - void chests/bags/pipes are another option) . Life will be a lot easier if you are protected from monsters or if you turn on peaceful during the process.

You'll need to have cheats enabled to accomplish this, so if you're in single player, go to the menu and Open to LAN, be sure to select Enable Cheats. I don't play multiplayer, but I assume you will need op privileges for the next bit.

Now that you can run cheats, in the chat type: /hqm edit -- this will give you a quest book you can use to re-complete your quests.

Note: If you want to make things just right, do not just dive in and start completing quests! There is a potential to over-reward yourself with reputation.

The first thing you want to do, though counter-intuitive, is reset all the quests. This is done on the main menu page of the OP quest book by hold Control and Shift, then clicking the "Reset" button (Cmd + Shift on a Mac). This has to be done to clear out the problems in Chapter 1.

If you do not do this, you will not be able to re-complete all Chapter 1 quests, which prevents some other quests from unlocking, which prevents you from getting your reputation points, and is not a good time.

Now that you have a completely reset quest book, go into chapter one, and shift-click on all the quests you have completed. There are new quests in here, so be sure to leave those incomplete. Once your inventory is full, time to dump it. The easiest way is to hold down Control, Alt, and Space, then click an item in your inventory. This will throw everything out (once for the hotbar, once for the rest). You can also use NEI's cheat mode, and shift-click the trashcan icon.

Now give yourself another book with /hqm edit in the chat. Continue through the chapters, shift-clicking quests, claiming rewards, and dumping. You will have to bounce around between the chapters; some quests are triggered by reputation, or quests from other chapters. If you get caught up with where you were, congratulations, you are ready to toss the OP book, grab your gear, and get back to regrowing the world!

For me, this was not enough, I hit a wall - Quests weren't opening up that I knew I had completed, a bunch of ones in the Botania and Witchery quest lines, as well as a bunch from Chapter 5. Some quests are secretly triggered by holding items in your inventory. Pick up all of the following items you have or can make:
  • Leather
  • Gold Ingot
  • Aluminium Ingot
  • Lapis Lazuli
  • Redstone
  • Shards
  • Diamond
  • Blaze Rod
This should unlock the rest of the quests and hopefully with that, you can continue completing quests to the point you were pre-upgrade.

Many cross-breeding quest had opened up in Chapter 9, and the first quest in Chapter 11 was available. I chose to cheat my way through the cross-breeding quests and ditch the rewards, but you may wish to keep the rewards, or trigger the completions legitimately by picking up the seeds for each of the plants.

If you are powering through, be sure to pay attention to the other miscellaneous new quests that you have probably completed, either save those rewards, or complete those quests separately to avoid trashing rewards you do deserve.

[1.4] How can I get the pre-0.70 breeding behavior back?
Edit minecraft/config/agricraft/Configuration.cfg and change Farming difficulty to 1.


===== [2.0] 0.71 BUGS =====

[2.1] Spawn Sheep / Spawn Bat recipes do not work
There seems to be some issue with it matching any color of wool. I was able to get the spawn sheep to work by adjusting the recipe to only accept white wool. You can edit minecraft/scripts/earlysurvival.zs, and find the line that starts with "val wool", make it look like: val wool = <minecraft:wool:0>;

[2.2] NEI Crashes
If the crash log shows:
codechicken.nei.PositionedStack.setPermutationToRender(PositionedStack.java:95)
at yuuto.enhancedinventories.compat.nei.RecipeStoneCraftingHandler$CachedStoneCraftingRecipe.getCycledIngredients(RecipeStoneCraftingHandler.java:114)​

When Enhanced Inventories tries to put together the "Inventory Crafting" page from the Wool or Wood blocks, it crashes. This doesn't happen with cobblestone (the other ingredient in the Improved Stone Chest), so I think there's a problem with the way it's putting the list of all the woods/wools together for this screen. Easily replicated by looking at uses for any color of wool or any type of wood planks, and moving to "right" of the assembly tables page. The problem does not happen when looking at that recipe directly, just when it is generated from the wood or wool component.

The only way I've found to fix it is to remove the mod. :( Alternatively, don't look at the uses for wool or wood planks. :)

If the crash log shows:
appeng.integration.modules.NEIHelpers.NEIInscriberRecipeHandler.loadCraftingRecipes(NEIInscriberRecipeHandler.java:98)
at codechicken.nei.recipe.TemplateRecipeHandler.loadCraftingRecipes(TemplateRecipeHandler.java:327)​

If you load a world, everything is fine, but when you exit back to the Minecraft Main Menu and load any world again, you will hit the AE2 NEI crash when you look at any recipe. It is a known issue with Modtweaker and AE not liking recipes for the inscriber being reloaded due to it caching them.

Workaround: Reload the client between world loads. Alternatively, comment out the lines in ae2.zs that being with "Insciber" by placing "//" in front of them on the same line. In the mekanism.zs file, comment out the line "Infuser.removeRecipe(mekCircuitBasic)" and the recipes.addShaped line below that. (*NOTE: this will break the intended progression of AE2 and Mekanism).

[2.3] Crash when opening the Lexica Botania (Alfheim Edition)
This is because Enchiridion 2 expects the original Lexica Botania to be opened prior to the Alfheim Edition. Craft a plain Lexica Botania first and open it prior to using your Alfheim Edition.

[2.4] Dire Wolves spawn in lit areas
This appears to be a bug in Enderzoo. There is no workaround other than to disable Direwolves entire, which can be done by editing minecraft/config/enderzoo/EnderZoo.cfg and setting B:direWolfEnabled=false


===== [3.0] GENERAL =====

Most, if not all, of the custom mechanics are covered in the Quest Book. Be sure to read both pages thoroughly! Additionally, there are many recipe changes in the pack, so be sure to reference NEI as well.

[3.1] Can Iron Chests/Extra Utils/Thermal Expansion be added into this pack?
These goes against the pack's goal of avoiding common "go-to" mods and so they will not be added.

[3.2] Why is there no mini-map mod?
There is an in-game mechanism using Bibliocraft, quests for it unlock early.

[3.3] I am seeing strange messages in chat when I click blocks with a stick!
This is a feature of the Ruins mod; don't click blocks with a stick.

[3.4] What are my options to get rid of the wasteland and actually regrow the world?
Blood Magic, Witchery, and Thaumcraft all offer methods to change a biome.

[3.5] My Tinker's Construct tools are not leveling up!
This is intentional. You can still use the normal modifiers.

[3.6] How do I mine Thaumium-level ores?
To achieve the Thaumium mining level you can use a Terra Shatterer from Botania (requires terrasteel), a Thaumium pickaxe from Thaumcraft, a Koboldite pickaxe from Witchery, or a Pigiron pickaxe from Tinker's Construct (requires emerald).

[3.7] What's the tool mining level progression?
0. Flint, Bone, Vitreous
1. Netherrack, Copper
2. Iron
3. Bronze, Manasteel
4. Alumite, Elementium
5. Thaumium, Pigiron, Koboldite
6. Steel, Terrasteel, Elemental, Titanium
7. Cobalt, Ardite
8. Void, Manyullyn
9. Osmium, Bound, Chameleon, Refined Glowstone

[3.8] Where can I find more information about the mods?
*NOTE* Many recipes are changed for this modpack, so be sure to check NEI when crafting items. Botania, Tinker's Construct, Witchery, Thaumcraft and Mariculture provide information through in-game books.

Select mods with additional resources:
BuildCraft: http://www.mod-buildcraft.com/
Witchery: https://sites.google.com/site/witcherymod/
Botania: http://botaniamod.net/


===== [4.0] GETTING STARTED =====

[4.1] What is this dirty water? Is it dangerous?
This is normal water in the wasteland biome. It is not dangerous, just ugly.

[4.2] How do I get grass blocks?
Use a pasture seed on dirt blocks.

[4.3] How do I get long/tall grass?
Use bone meal on grass blocks.

[4.4] How do I get saplings?
Use mutandis on long/tall grass.

[4.5] How do I get mushrooms?
Use mutandis on long grass or find them in caves or the Nether. Mushroom spores are also a quest reward, but these must be grown on mycellium.

[4.6] I died and now I have a potion effect "Soul Fray" - what is that?
This is from Blood Magic, it prevents you from self-sacrificing yourself to death repeatedly. Otherwise, it has no effect.


===== [5.0] QUEST BOOK =====

[5.1] What's the best way to get clay for the Couper's Conductance quest?
The Horn of the Wild speeds up collecting clay from the dried grasses in the world and tall grass that you have bonemealed yourself. You can find clay in the oceans (better get a snorkel first!), and there is an early quest in Chapter 3 that will reward you with a Clayconia, which is used to turn sand into clay.

[5.2] I've done all the quests in a chapter, but it is still not showing 100% complete!
There are secret/hidden quests, that will only be revealed when you've met the initial requirements.

[5.3] What are the secret quests?
  • Go caving, maybe you'll find something unexpected!
  • It sure would be nice if that mob spawner weren't so far away..
  • There are a lot of beehives around, perhaps you can scoop them up?


===== [6.0] AGRICRAFT / FARMING =====

[6.1] What are cross crops?
Two crops (the item) on the same block.

[6.2] How do I get sugarcane?
Place cross crops on sand between carrots and wheat. Let the plants mature and then wait.

[6.3] How do I get plants to crossbreed?
Place cross crops between the two parent plants, and the appropriate soil in between. Plants will only spread when they are mature and have enough light.

[6.4] What are all of the crossbreeds?
All seeds are listed in NEI. Some require special soils.

[6.5] What plants require special soils?
Sugarcane, cactus require sand; mushrooms require mycellium; netherwart requires soul sand. All Botania flowers require UNTILLED Garden Soil. All Magical Crops require TILLED Garden Soil.
Note: With 0.71, NEI will show the soil needs for mutations.

[6.6] Bone meal is not working on my (non-magical) crops! Magical fertiliser is not working on my (magical) crops!
In most cases, this is because of a low light level. Place a torch closer.

[6.7] Bone meal is not working on my (magical) crops!
Use magical fertiliser.

[6.8] How do I get more seeds?
Cross crops placed next to fully grown crops will eventually spread and create a new plant.

[6.9] How do I increase my seeds' stats?
[v0.65 only] Any newly grown seeds have a chance of gaining stats, whether it is the result of crossbreeding with a different species (even if there is no chance of mutation).
[v0.70+] Newly grown seeds of the same parent will have a chance of gaining stats. You can no longer crossbreed with plants of different species to gain stats.

[6.10] What is the range of the sprinkler?
The range is a 7-block square, centered on the sprinkler.

[6.11] What items can be composted to make Garden Soil?
All seeds and most foods, sticks, zombie flesh. Shift-clicking an item into the composter will only work if the item is acceptable. All items give the same amount of progress (1/8). For efficiency, you can turn pumpkins into seeds for 4x the Garden Soil. Sticks are a good option early game.
Note: With 0.71, if you mouseover the Composter's input slots, items that can be composted in your inventory are highlighted.


===== [7.0] BOTANIA =====

[7.1] How do I complete a runic altar recipe?
Place the components into the runic altar by right clicking, or dropping ("q"). Right-click with the Wand of the Forest. The item and a circular progress meter will show and will fill as mana is infused. Once the mana infusion is complete, drop ("q") a piece of livingrock on top of the runic altar then right-click with the Wand of the Forest.

[7.2] [v0.65 only] Cactus is not working in altar/alchemy catalyst recipes!
[BUG] Workaround: Place all your cactus on sand and then pick them up. This will be fixed in the next version.


===== [8.0] MARICULTURE =====

[8.1] [v0.65 only] My crucible furnace crashes the game / the bottom half of the cruicible furnace has vanished!
[BUG] No workaround at this time. This will be fixed in the next release.

[8.2] [v0.65 only] Fish Feeder tank size does not report correctly / the Fish Feeder will not accept my fish food.
[BUG] Workaround: Remove the fish and place them back into the Fish Feeder.


===== [9.0] TECHNICAL =====

[9.1] The Wooden Engine recipe shows redstone as a component and isn't working!
[BUG] Workaround: Restart the game. Sometimes this recipe reverts to its default. The Redstone Engine recipe in this pack requires a lever instead of redstone, and has been renamed to a Wooden Engine.

[9.2] [v0.65 only] ServerStart.bat file won't launch the server.
[BUG] Agricraft is out of date. Take the version of Agricraft from your client and put it into server mods. Open ServerStart.bat and change the forge version to forge-1.7.10-10.13.2.1277 instead of forge-1.7.10-10.13.2.1272. If you are using Java 7, capitalize the 'P' in "permSize=256m". If you are using Java 8, remove the "permSize=256m" altogether. Then run ServerStart.bat - this will fail, but create a bunch of files. Open eula.txt and change "eula=false" to "eula=true". Finally, run ServerStart.bat again.

[9.3] [v0.71 only] ServerStart.bat file won't launch the server: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Ljoshie/enchiridion/wiki/gui/GuiMain;
[BUG] You can either remove the Enchiridion 2 mod from the server, or update config/enchiridion/enchiridion2.cfg and set "Disable Autodiscovery"=false.

[9.4] Textures for Quadrum blocks (Dead Wood, Slate) are not showing up properly.
[BUG] Workaround: Turn off Anisotropic Filtering in your video settings.

If you're going to do that, why not just make the blaze seeds? Getting 8 that way is easier. And as for copper, you need 8 obsidian, which is probably easiest to get in a vat. Still a lot of farming, but not as much back and forth dimension jumping.
Oh let me see, for all the dimension hopping you would need at least 3 rounds of brew of sleeping, and 3 rounds of brews of love, and that is assuming you can get a good dream first time every time, which you wont, RNG is pretty stacked against that. So you could be potentially up for more. As it stands, I'm setting up the major big Botania farms now so I'll be drowning in petals pretty soon

Edit: I wonder if B-Space Barrels will work....
Edit Edit: Needs Ender chest to make lol

IIRC, thaumcraft bound chest seals work similar to ender chests, though I may have read that wrong. Since that data gets transferred, shouldn't be too hard to make some in the spirit world, unless there are no nodes.
Edit: Scratch that, forgot that in order to make the table you need greatwood.

You're throwing the seeds in at the end, right?

Just checking the obvious (no slight meant) - you are throwing some normal "seeds" in after the petals, yes?

Edit: Amusing double-post timing.
