    Custom loot

    As long as there is no Minecraft support for curse voice on the Mac, it will have to remain a pack for one, but I'd be willing to share when the option opens up. (Dear Curse, I am a dedicated modded Minecraft single player, I have no use for a voice app, especially one with no game support. A...

    Custom loot

    I am using glowstone blocks to light buildings, and am considering using other similarly valuable materials in some constructions. My personal goal with Recurrent Complex is to add interesting but not difficult exploration features for more timid players with weaker computers, so my 1st spawner...

    StrangeThistle (pic heavy!) (1.7.10 custom pack)

    I seem to be having problems with the structure generator as well as the maze generator, so for now I'll just build 4 fixed structures around the well. So far I have a lighthouse (with TiCo smeltery) and a small barn with animals. Any suggestions for the other 2 corners?

    Custom loot

    I'm learning my way around recurrent complex, & I want to know what you'd love to find in a chest and what would be just too overpowered for you. Angel rings? stable unstable ingots? a tank of gelid cryotheum? Where would the balance fall for you?

    StrangeThistle (pic heavy!) (1.7.10 custom pack)

    How do you like my dungeon so far? There actually is a structure below, but I want to save it for a surprise. With this much surface area above, I decided to gen random buildings in the 4 corners. So far that list only contains my lighthouse. I need to come up with a few more before I can really...

    I am having some difficulty getting the Recurrent Complex maze generator to work.

    I've been through all the Recurrent Complex structures and picked 27 of the 65 to have actively spawning. As I develop more of my own structures, I may disable some of these. I've also updated my mod list and checked against the 1.8.9 NotEnoughMods list.

    StrangeThistle (pic heavy!) (1.7.10 custom pack)

    I think I've got a handle on the Recurrent Complex basics. Here is my structure row. I've even got a little shell game going with the haystacks. Getting the size right and scattering some random bales around the central stack helped more than carpenter's wedges. Next step is spawning in the RC...

    It was a simple config issue, so I've got the RC structures generating. It looks like I will have to dig into the jar file to get a complete list. I found 65 active structures in the RC jar. Here is the list.

    Just swapping the stone & netherbrick was a little too sharp a contrast, but railcraft's sandyblock seems to work well for both. Decent haystacks are challenging, I may have to go with carpenters slopes on that. Well variant on the right. Testing an idea for my crossroads

    With the idea that I might someday share, I'm trying to work out structures that will be passable with mostly vanilla blocks for now, but this is good to know if I get to the point where I'm getting more complex or if I come up with something really amazing.

    I did try netherbrick pillars & brazier with red brick roof & foundation, but that was decidedly worse. Other than that, it is a question of do I spend my time fiddling with that one little thing, or do I move on to the next idea rattling around my head? I might have to try a stone brazier in a...

    StrangeThistle (pic heavy!) (1.7.10 custom pack)

    I have been doing a lot of work on my base. I like where I'm going with it, but I'm almost done breeding mana beans & AE2 autocrafting is ready to start setting up patterns, so it must be time to scrap everything & start over. Once I learn to use Recurrent Complex and get a fair number of...

    1.8: what is holding you back?

    Now that the initial port of EnderIO has hit the Forgecraft test server, it is a race to see if we will get a stable 1.8 FTB pack or a release of the Minecraft overlay for CurseVoice for the Mac first. I think we've reached the point where custom pack players can start paying attention to what...

    My villager breeder simplified as a potential Recurrent Complex structure.

    I know I share this every time I build it, but I think I've managed to organize & compact it just a little bit more.

    StrangeThistle (pic heavy!) (1.7.10 custom pack)

    My villager breeder turned into a bit of a lighthouse structure. I'm using Railcraft elevator tracks to move a villager in a minecart in and out of range of the doors.

    My Google-fu is failing, I can find no reference to the existence of a separate download for structure files.

    I really like Realistic Terrain Gen. It doesn't add anything new, it just makes what is already there better and lets you configure things like caves & villages. I usually just ladder down to bedrock for my mineshaft, this time I decided to tunnel down 5 steps & landing. The lower half of my...

    Do you struggle with "convenience" cheating?

    I don't struggle with it, I excell at it. Yesterday a hungry node killed me twice and ate all my tinker tools, 2 portal guns, and some other nice loot. I barely had a smeltery going & hadn't even found diamonds yet (no where near ready to start a jetpack), so I cheated in an angel ring.
