    Blood N Bones [Hardcore Survival]

    errr...that is going to be tough. With the rarity of cotton and it only appearing in small patches in certain biomes, i spent 8 hours finding it on the pledge server. I basically just kept running and hoping to catch a glimpse of it before dying. Then quaff another potion and start running...

    Any idea of what happened to the light on the needle?

    Blood N Bones [Hardcore Survival]

    Hitting some snags.. Loaded up 1.12 to play on the pledge server, and hit a snag. I had finally found tormented cotton in the dream world after searching about 5 vanilla biomes and going through a few dozen sleeping potions. The patch i found was very close to some lava, so i had a landmark...

    [1.6.4] Cataclysm ModPack [HardCore, Post-Apocalyptic Survival]

    It's certainly high enough to swamp a player. When the sun comes down, they crawl out of the woodwork and you have at least a dozen on your butt within a minute. Later, it's hundreds clustered where ever you are hiding. If mob count is causing lag, turning it down a bit certainly won't drop the...

    Blood N Bones [Hardcore Survival]

    I just build a stairway up using natural blocks like logs, leave a gap at the top, and a short walkway to by house. House has a 2-5 block gap at the bottom with the lowest bit made of natural block materials. I usually have 1x1 pillars supporting it for the look. Nothing bigger that an invader...

    [1.6.4] Cataclysm ModPack [HardCore, Post-Apocalyptic Survival]

    When i was playing with Skuli on miningdead, he had it set to 1/4th normal ore generation, and while it took a bit of work, people still had no problem making all the resource intensive stuff in tekkit with IC2 and Redpower. Just took a bit more work. There is a lot less needed for this pack...

    [1.6.4] Cataclysm ModPack [HardCore, Post-Apocalyptic Survival]

    Ok, have played a couple of hours on the server and have some feedback. And i mean feedback, not criticism. I know how much work goes into projects like this. I tend to look at things from the perspective of a game designer, not a player. I've got two degrees in mathematics, own game stores for...

    [1.6.4] Cataclysm ModPack [HardCore, Post-Apocalyptic Survival]

    Speaking of stuff to work towards, i was very surprised to find fields of cactus, sugar cane, potatoes and carrots all ready to be harvested.

    Heh, logged into the server at night, died 6 times in 3 minutes :)

    [1.6.4] Cataclysm ModPack [HardCore, Post-Apocalyptic Survival]

    I played it a bit. It has a nice, slow, build up, but a lot of it really doesnt work with the post apoc feel. It's requirements seem more tuned to a vanilla world where you have ample wood, water, etc. Galacticraft might fit. It takes quite a bit of resources just to get to the point where you...

    Make sure that the pick is fully repaired. This can sometimes keep you from an upgrade.

    Blood N Bones [Hardcore Survival]

    Steel is made using the high oven from Tinkers Steelworks. This is after you have a nether portal since it will require sulfur and redstone from the nether. First nether portal is wood and lava like you used. It's possible to also make a bit of steel in the high over without a nether portal...

    Blood N Bones [Hardcore Survival]

    Don't think to hard on it. Mithril should also only be found in Moria and Erador. And I've heard it's actually tough to take down a tree with your fist :)

    Blood N Bones [Hardcore Survival]

    Compared to the stuff in MFR, the igneous extruder is pretty tame :) Useful for when you need a ton of materials for building. Only downside is that it helps to create the deepdark portal pretty quickly.

    Blood N Bones [Hardcore Survival]

    Cotton is your friend for string, both varieties make it. Once you get a drawplate, you can convert wool to string, but that's not a starting option. Dollies and plastic bags can let you move chests easier, at least letting you get a chest plus a full inventory moved each trip.

    Blood N Bones [Hardcore Survival]

    I don't think expectations changed, and yes, some of the difficulty on 1.7 was based on mob AI that was causing a lot of lag, and crashes. So some of the mob hordes got a bit lessened. It is still a pack that is not intended for the casual player. It is still stupidly hard at times. The...

    Blood N Bones [Hardcore Survival]

    Do you have a valid minecraft account?The current situation however: gone is the urge/need to rush things (for instance the 1st day), gone is the "always expect the unexpected" feeling, gone is the challenge, ... Hmm, you're playing a different pack than i am :) Even on a server without hostile...

    Blood N Bones [Hardcore Survival]

    There was a point where mobs were disappearing, both in single player and on multiplay servers. I had a singleplayer world where i went from having a horde of 50 around me at night, to just wandering the desert looking for mobs because i needed the bones. Right now, I find the amount of mobs on...

    Blood N Bones [Hardcore Survival]

    i've got one over my base, saw it when it was only house sized, forgot about it being in that spot after it 'enlarged' more, and got attacked when i went near that are. Have to guess its there, but the image is projected wonky. Believe it is a 'hungry spider'. I encountered one in a dungeon...

    Blood N Bones [Hardcore Survival]

    It's not affecting me on singleplayer at all, either.
