Motivation After Losing Everything?

[Zarkov]

Another tip (captain obvious mode): Use AE and teach it recipes for all major things that are tedious to craft. That way it's just a click or two to get a full new quantum suit, vajra or gravichest. Then run a couple of quarries and you're basically set regardless if you die.

Didn't know your food bar decreased while standing still either.

I don't, I will start raging, flippin tables and shit, and then aggressively hit the enter button for deleting the world.
no, I'm serious, I hate dying, but I hate it even more when I lose items while dying

Decreasing food while standing still is a GT thing. I think it can be turned off in the config, though.

I don't understand why Greg feels the need to add something like this. Has nothing to do with his mod at all and only serves to annoy the player.

Please don't start a GT flame war. I purposely kept my post neutral and factual.

Dont afk, just chunkload and disconnect

There's been a lot of posts saying how to avoid losing your stuff. But, you've already lost it and your problem is motivation. Well, that's a tough one as we don't know what motivates you in the first place. That said, try taking a short break, and when you do come back, think about what you really need to replace and what you can live without. You've clearly reached an imbalance between the chance of dying and the cost of dying - reduced the chance, increased the cost, and then lost it all on a bad roll on the dice.

Don't start to rely on something until you can make a spare. Were you in full quantum with a Vajra? Maybe go with something lower tech. I wear Thaumium armour and an Advanced Jetpack, and it's quite good enough for me. I keep a spare normal jetpack in an Enderpouch so I can get myself out of a hole if I fall in it. Also as I said I have a Charm of Keeping.

Basically, work on a set up that enables you to survive dying in lava. You may be more likely to die - and that brings a little extra thrill of danger - but the consequences of doing so will be tolerable.

keepInventory?

If you dont have any of the eq listed here OP, get autohotkey to right click your stack of bread every 10 minutes or so?
This requires that you are not using your computer, however.

Why are people complaining that standing still shouldn't make you hungry.

If you go stand still for a while in real life, you shouldn't get hungry, according to your logic.

I don't have GT installed, but it still happened... so what does GT have to do with it?

 

[Poppycocks]

I wasn't expecting to die, I didn't think you lost hunger standing still

Hm. Man, this'll be a flamewar again but... you do lose food now, when standing still, it's a gregtech change.

Get the server owner to set it to false.

OR, build an afk room for yourself, something nice and safe and padded and warded with constant regeneration or restoration or at least item collection. Actually, build it with item collection anyway.

As far as motivation goes. You wanna show that .... greg, who's the boss, right?

I've never really had an issue with motivation. How early in the game were you and what did you lose? Its very hard to imagine being in a place where you lose that much. If you're early in the game you only lose what you can replace in an hour. If you're late in the game, you've got enough materials to form what you had and then some, and if you're somewhere in between, I'm not too sure what was of such importance that you lost. You're on a server, so chances are you didn't stumble across a portal gun while explroing, so the only thing to lose is maybe some ore and a set of armor, which really isn't that big of a deal, it really just takes a small amount of time to get back.

And in all honesty, if you need motivation from other people after losing something, unless your inventory was full of GTmachines and iridium, there really isn't much to say. The great thing about Minecraft is how everything is limitless. I lost my gravi and advanced nano armor along with 2 stacks of iridium. I was pissed, but I understood that I could get it all back easily. Well. except the iridium, that took some work.

I lost a bunch of my MPS stuff to lava cuz I got shot with an arrow ... had plenty of time to get out of the lava too but lag spike nailed me good. (didn't have flight on it yet so kinda meh).

But after the initial shock of it, I decided next I'd try dartcraft's leather armor getup and put some RE-batteries on it. Heck, that's working great for me. If I punch stuff with my bare hands it's like using the proper tool. Sweet. Also can fly, run REAL fast, jump REAL high ... I feel like how the hulk must feel.

Was cheap too...but the Achilles heel is low defense, a zombie with a sword can wipe the floor with me sometimes. And creepers hurt big time ... MPS was like being in my own personal tank.

I just think if ya die and lose it all, instead of replacing stuff 1::1, try a different mods stuff to switch it up a bit.

Good idea[DOUBLEPOST=1373038971][/DOUBLEPOST]Thanks for all the support guys, I think I will just swap modpacks for a while and give me a chance to see what I am Losing by not using 1.5.2. Now trying to decide between mindcrack and ultimate.

Currently I've got one piece of obsidian, one feather, one thaumcraft elemental shard, one piece of sugar, and 3 arrows on all pieces of my force armor.

I take almost no damage, and my armor is repaired automatically. Also, flight, and grounding abilities on players, due to Minecraft physics. (Taking damage pulls you to the ground)

Dart craft isn't in gregtech pack because dart craft = OP

Thanks, now to find one. *sigh

Spring water can be found in many different biomes as well as sometimes underground, much like poison water. I know Hot Springs, Oasis, Sacred Springs, and Promised Land can have the spring water above ground. If you're using a mini-map look for any light-blue water since that will generally be it.

I'm sure when I get the server going in less than a week hopefully, then with some nice people around to work together as a whole will get you back on track. (have 2 other that should be joining as well as me and you)
