    [CHALLENGE] (v4.3-ish 6/7/18) Refugee to Regent Kingdom Building Challenge

    Feel free to use 1.12 blocks if you want to. I have most of them modded in except prismarine and sea lanterns.

    [CHALLENGE] (v4.3-ish 6/7/18) Refugee to Regent Kingdom Building Challenge

    So now that I have mods I'm thinking about making some factory-like buildings, but I have no idea how to make that work with my current building style. The best I can come up with is to use a ton of brick walls but that doesn't sound too promising. Do any of you have any ideas how a...

    [CHALLENGE] (v4.3-ish 6/7/18) Refugee to Regent Kingdom Building Challenge

    I liked the suggestion with the bell tower for my school house, and the idea with the one-room thing also helped. I have no idea how to make a decent looking bell, so the tower is empty, but you won't see that from the outside anyway. In other words, my next log entry is done. Round buildings...

    [CHALLENGE] (v4.3-ish 6/7/18) Refugee to Regent Kingdom Building Challenge

    Yeah I do the same. You can re-arrange them though, although I'll admit the interface for that is a tad annoying. Anyway, here's my next update. I'd love any suggestions all of you guys have, even if I might not implement them. Also, what's a good compact, self sustained power source I can hide...

    [CHALLENGE] (v4.3-ish 6/7/18) Refugee to Regent Kingdom Building Challenge

    Tinker's Construct goes well with these challenges and adds world gen. I really like agricraft for stuff like this (together with pam's harvestcraft), and immersive engineering is pretty neat for immersion challenges like this one. Both add stuff to villages. To be honest, I'm not 100% sure...

    [CHALLENGE] (v4.3-ish 6/7/18) Refugee to Regent Kingdom Building Challenge

    @Monarch_of_Gold Thanks for all the input! I really like the stackable building, even though it's definitely not the style I'm going for. I'll probably make my bridge similar to the one you put over the ravine, but I'll try to add more depth. Also, I hate acacia planks too :p The ork buildings...

    [CHALLENGE] (v4.3-ish 6/7/18) Refugee to Regent Kingdom Building Challenge

    I've seen most of his build school as well as this video. However, his bridge designs are too grand for the use case I have in mind, even the smaller ones. I'll come up with something though. I'm still a bit stuck on the flat pillar thing. I've been experimenting a bit (part of which you will...

    [CHALLENGE] (v4.3-ish 6/7/18) Refugee to Regent Kingdom Building Challenge

    You're... not exactly wrong. I am pretty sure they would look better with extended pillars though. Looking at your farm house, you're definitely better at interior stuff than I am (mostly sectioning larger rooms to look nice). I can't really work with interiors as well as I'd like. I'll be...

    [CHALLENGE] (v4.3-ish 6/7/18) Refugee to Regent Kingdom Building Challenge

    Thank you! I totally forgot about f1. Yes I've watched Grian's videos, but also a lot of other builders. I think I got two things explicitly from him: The usage of dark oak for roofs and extending pillars 1 block out from the walls. I keep running into a problem with that last one though: if I...

    [CHALLENGE] (v4.3-ish 6/7/18) Refugee to Regent Kingdom Building Challenge

    I could probably do that, but there's just too many mods I'd like to use, and even if I narrow it down there's probably like 20+ utility mods in there anyway. So i've started your challenge on an 1.7.10 modpack of mine (the same I started the R2R challenge in, but with 2 or 3 mods more I...

    [CHALLENGE] (v4.3-ish 6/7/18) Refugee to Regent Kingdom Building Challenge

    Well, getting it to run was one thing, that already took a very long time. It is/was now working at 6.5gb (out of 8) ram. My current problem is that whenever I try to load my world (that I played about an hour on) or try to create a new one, the game gets stuck on the "loading world" screen...

    [CHALLENGE] (v4.3-ish 6/7/18) Refugee to Regent Kingdom Building Challenge

    Okay, 1.12 isn't working for me (on the technical side). It went fine for an hour or two but now I can neither load my world nor create a new one. That will probably have to wait until I get a better PC then. Back to 1.7.10. That's a bit sad because I was getting somewhat hyped for astral...

    [CHALLENGE] (v4.3-ish 6/7/18) Refugee to Regent Kingdom Building Challenge

    I can see what you like about not having room size requirements, as I feel whatever I build for the R2R challenge seems too big (at least on the outside) for the type of poor(ish) people that live inside. I still like to have some form of requirement so I don't just become super lazy and don't...

    [CHALLENGE] (v4.3-ish 6/7/18) Refugee to Regent Kingdom Building Challenge

    Psi imo isn't a magical mod though. Feels more like a futuristic tech mod imo. I heard good things about Astral Sorcery. What do you mean by embers and roots being discontinued? Just that they aren't being updated further? They definitely are out for 1.12 though. Obviously there is also...

    [CHALLENGE] (v4.3-ish 6/7/18) Refugee to Regent Kingdom Building Challenge

    I know those aren't updated either, I'm mostly looking for alternatives. I've found a few for most of these by asking on reddit. I'll probably try to do the challenge on 1.12 then.

    [CHALLENGE] (v4.3-ish 6/7/18) Refugee to Regent Kingdom Building Challenge

    I've seen your challenge multiple times, but haven't given it much attention, because I've been focussed on this one more. However I've now decided to go with your one first until this one has had more updates (and seems like it does a better job of holding attention because it has more sub...

    [CHALLENGE] (v4.3-ish 6/7/18) Refugee to Regent Kingdom Building Challenge

    Okay, I haven't actually found much time to play since I hit the stone age since I'm at my girlfriend's most of the time, and playing minecraft with a lot of mods on my laptop is not really all that enjoyable. I have, however done at least some building in a creative world and from that I just...

    trying to find what is killing my frame rates

    Do you have any big arrays of tubes like a huge factorization processing line or something? Or do you pump around lots of liquids? Pipes tend to lag if they have to render too much. Maybe try to spread out your creations or sth might help.
