    Blood N Bones [Hardcore Survival]

    You can get some starting points that are harsh. I guess my question is why you would ever stay there? Look at the map and head in the direction of a forest or enderforest. Desert actually isn't bad. Easy travel, chance of a village, and between cactus fruit and normal cactus a good amount of...

    I don't think it kills off lycanite mobs, but will hit most of the rest.

    Blood N Bones [Hardcore Survival]

    The mob spawns seem oddly distributed. I've had times where i hear nothing for a night, but see 10 death messages and other people dying. The next night I'll stay just a bit to long, 3 steps from my base, and the mobs will come out of nowhere with a horde. I'm getting more and more paranoid. :)...

    Blood N Bones [Hardcore Survival]

    But the mobs are so fun. ....yeah, had some frustrating times, but i'm still at the "how do I figure this out" point. Pungi sticks in pits seem to work well, base in intact. Progression still going, just slower with more deaths at odd times. Starting over entirely and seeing how that works, on...

    Blood N Bones [Hardcore Survival]

    As for starting out, I tend to carefully pick the the direction i want to travel, and try to run through a forest/ender forest. I gather food, wood, and cotton as i go. Goal is to get a small platform, a chest, and a bed. Advanced strategies include making the base near water so you can dive off...

    Blood N Bones [Hardcore Survival]

    Found a village on our server. Went back, returned later, and all the villagers are frozen and non responsive (or gone, leaving an after image). We've been having this happen pretty continuously with mobs as well. The army of statues builds up over time. The server was made in 1.04, now on 1.07.

    Blood N Bones [Hardcore Survival]

    Does seem like theEvilone is slipping and being generous :) I expected the top area would just be all rock and silverfish, with the good stuff down low where the danger starts up. Hmm, that's odd. All the servers/worlds i've seen both copper and aluminum have bee very common. Time to make a...

    Blood N Bones [Hardcore Survival]

    This can easily be solved with science! You and i will each plant a crop of beans in our chosen biomes and then time them with stopwatches! I may put on the Moose and Squirrel marathon and get out a few bottles wine to pass the time. But it's still science.

    Blood N Bones [Hardcore Survival]

    Getting something odd now. Items on the ground leave an image, and so appear not to be decayed, but can't be picked up. Many mobs also do this, despawning in the light or for some other reason, but leaving an image. There are eventually hundreds of them around easch players base. Restarting the...

    You might check to see if the modification you want to do is allowed in Iguana tweaks, not all materials are used. Second, did you level up the tool first? You will get a slot at 1, 3, 5. The other 5 effects will be random

    Blood N Bones [Hardcore Survival]

    First impression of 1.07: Pure Win. Lovely explosions from frustrated creepers. Mobs with higher health. Zombies lunging for you. Seeing some interesting stuff. We built our desert hideway with just a little float. The walls generally go to the ground but are 4 blocks thick. Under the floor was...

    Blood N Bones [Hardcore Survival]

    Definitions in this modpack may vary depending upon the sanity of the player: Eyamaz: "a bit" = this should be fun to watch... Players: "Wtf!!! Aahiyeeee, no , not the face, not the face!!!! Momma!!! Players who drink the koolaid: Wow, this will be fun, quick Dez, upgrade that sucker!

    We have a group playing on Lolnet, based out of NZ: Bnb.lolnet.co.nz Forsaken network has one up as well. Both of us using the latest version, 1.06 Puremadness is a new server, but they are still on 1.05 LegendsUnleashed I was playing on, but they need to fix a couple of things right now...

    Blood N Bones [Hardcore Survival]

    Yeah, it really seems like at times the AI is trying incredibly hard to have mobs do things and eats up a huge amount of resources. We've been trying to get players to make complete walls and sealed houses where mobs can't shoot or try to get to them. Seems like if there is a possible path, they...

    Blood N Bones [Hardcore Survival]

    With limitations on getting buckets/water when starting out, a thirst mod could be extreemly brutal. I've played with one in Terrafirmacraft and it seemed to just entail standing in water now and then as you were trying to get things started up. Added difficulty, but I think of the wrong type...

    Blood N Bones [Hardcore Survival]

    Balanced doesn't mean in line with other mods, it means having a fair risk reward associated with it. Mod devs don't balance against other mods because they don't know if they're going to be there they only know that their mod will be. Mods balance against themselves. That is one definition of...

    Blood N Bones [Hardcore Survival]

    No, I have not read those threads, so can only base my opinions off my own experience with running servers and observing players, how fast they achieve results and what happens after. A masters degree in statistics and 30 years experience with games and game design helps a bit too. Death spam...

    Blood N Bones [Hardcore Survival]

    Agreed. Blood magic is hugely overpowered. Everyone will mention "cost of getting there", but it still makes things trivial at that point. The cost is very disproportionate to what you get in the end. Lag can be caused by quite a few things in a modpack that uses this many mobs and a better...
