Haha, that's wise. I don't suggest hitting a battle tower or roguelike dungeon until you have iron armor and weapons, a good bow, and a stack of torches at the very least. If you can grab some Ars Magica spells from the HQM book you'll be even better off. Thaumcraft wand foci are useful as...

First tip, find one of the following things quickly: 1) A pure node. 2) An island that's not too close to large landmasses, AND not too far in the middle of nowhere. Once you get one of these (both is amazing), you can either dig down under the ground, or tower up to do a little skyblocking...

Oh, well yeah that's definitely true. Still, 1.7.10 has all the mods for it. Updating Crash Landing to that wouldn't be hard, just in terms of getting those newer mod versions and updating the Minecraft version. It's all the other work that's in it that would be hard to redo. If it was just the...

Seems like updating the mods wouldn't be too hugely hard. It's updating all the Tweaker recipes and the HQM book and getting the map redone and rebalanced and...that would be a ginormous pain. :)

Beware though. Syncs are buggy. I lost my world because of a sync glitch. I had two syncs, and when I died, it seemed to get confused and spawned me in the Void. Died again, and that was it. Game over. That's sort of when I ragequitted, cuz I'd been doing really well up until then. I thought...

It always felt a bit too 'magical' for this pack in my view. Of course, I realize how it feels to me is not the guiding principle, but I do enjoy a good sci fi pack. There's lots of magic packs, but darn few packs that revolve around science; mad or otherwise.

Thanks for removing Chromaticraft. As interesting as the new biomes were, those zappy shrine things were pretty flipping annoying...and it was very hungry for storage space. :)

Chromaticraft! That figures, I've never seen that in another pack. It's such a strange one! Very hard to make head or tail of at the moment since it's not in NEI, but it seems interesting. Thanks for the tip!

I recently had an odd encounter. Not bad, or a problem, just odd. Never seen anything like it in other modpacks, even ones that have many of the same mods as this one. There was an island I found not far from the shore. I was scoping it out as a base location when I discovered it has 3 fairly...

Yeah. I speculate that Minecraft's worldgen function automatically creates a 'Beach' technical biome every time an Ocean borders any other biome. So you can set worldgen to say, "There's only two biomes...Ocean and Tainted Land." And Minecraft will gleefully agree...and then generate Beaches at...

Yeah, I've noticed this too. Beach biomes seem to be immune to the taint creep. I'm not sure if this is just because that one biome simply escaped being reclassified to Tainted Land as an oversight, or if there's something in Thaumcraft that just makes it not swappable (like Ocean biomes).

Twice now, I've logged in to find that my Dark and Neutral Essence Mana Batteries have disconnected from their Obelisk/Black Aurem, and lost all of their essence. This is an Ars Magica bug, I think. It's related to power not getting saved when chunks unload. Try chunkloading the area the...

It was my first hardcore mod play. Education comes at a cost, even in Minecraft. :)

I absolutely loved this modpack, right up until Sync bugged out and dropped me into the Void when I died, erasing my world. I'd totally jump at a 1.7.10 version though. I'll probably play it again sometime, but I really need to decompress first. Epic ragequit ensued. I'd come so far. :)

You have to energize the node, jar it, or break it. Honestly, in Hubris nodes are so commonplace that the usual injunction against breaking them really doesn't apply. Smash 'em. Keep a chest full of Ethereal Essences. They'll make your alchemy later on a lot easier. As for the crucible, I...

This sounds like exactly the sort of thing I've been wanting to try!

I'd like to see a modpack that features the most recent editions of the 'high tech' mods. The goal of allowing a player to create an ultramodern world. Sort of a 1.7.10 version of the Tech World modpack from FTB.

Hee hee...I admit, I skyblocked at first. Definitely taking the easy way out, but I needed the space. Even if I'd had a ground floor, I'd have built up from there at least one or two levels. Of course, now I've moved my base under a hill with a big floating marble obelisk overhead, supported...

Eunomiac, sorry it took me awhile to see your post. Darthwesix has already spilled the beans on my favorite flight technique, as it's easy and completely maintenance free. The Flight spell in AM2 is also easy enough. You do have to either luck out on dungeon loot (infinity orbs find their way...

SLABS. OF COURSE. I feel like an idiot now. Hahaha!
