[1.10.2][Curse] Future's Edge [Hardcore][Quests]

[Landstryder]

Prologue:
Many many years ago Civilization destroyed this planet, but a group of scientist had a solution. Launch capsules into orbit with technology to recreate life once the planet become habitable again. On board was you, an artificial lifeform tasked with returning civilization to the planet. Ten-thousand years pass before your pod crashes back to the surface and your consciousness awakens for the first time. You succeeded at restoring the past lifeforms to the planet and soon after the rebirth of civilization you returned to stasis, but not before you engineered something to keep mankind from total self destruction. Your solution was nanites. These tiny bots have made many things possible that seem like magic to average intelligent lifeforms. Another 10000 years passes.... the world evolves, shaped by nanite interaction.... now once more your consciousness awakens in a new body to start over and walk the world.... where will your path lead?


Little Info:
This pack is a continuation of the story from my 1.7.10 modpack Post Finem. There are many mods that are the same, there are many that are gone (mostly because they are not updated to 1.10.2), and there are some new mods. There is some recipe integration and tweaks to provide more of a challenge to the tech progression.


Quest System:
The quest system uses the Better Questing mod and does not have a book to access your quest menu. Instead it is accessed with a key, default is the grave key (the one to the left of the number 1 key on most boards). Hardcore mode is on by default and you start with 5 lives.


Disclaimer:
The pack is current in late alpha and I welcome any comments and suggestion on how to better integrate mods and tech progression or help with quests current or new. When updating you will need to use the command "/bq_admin default load" in worlds created before the update to see any new quests that may have been added.

I can probably find the list on one of the links you posted, but, well, I'd prefer not to.

[Beavelguy]

Seriously addicted to this pack got to make nice homes for all the villagers....

 

[Beavelguy]

So um, I see the illustrious Mr Jaguar has released a beta of Railcraft for 1.10 *wink wink nudge nudge cough cough*

 

[Landstryder]

Yes indeed Railcraft is coming in the next update... Have it in my dev environment and it's not causing any issues so... just have make the scripts now
There will not be any quests added specifically for Railcraft stuff, its just there for the fun factor and ascetics.

 

[Popster99]

there should be a public server for this

 

[cannajan]

When I reload the quests after an update they are all uncompleted, my progress is gone
I have redone the quests each time, but once I get further along this will take ages, so is there a file I should save before updating? or some way to edit the quests?

 

[Landstryder]

Yes you can edit the quests. Just use "/bq_admin edit" to toggle edit mode then you can go in and complete them or do what ever you need to
Weird that it is resetting you... that is a diffrent command "/bq_admin reset all"
There is also a command to complete a quest "/bq_admin complete (quest ID number) (player name)"

Hope that helps

Heya *waves*

Looks very interessting so far

Two little questions for the start though:
- Is it meant to be played with "structure generation" 'off' or are the villages created by minecraft itself okay to be used, if not even necessary?
- Which mod is the one that adds automatic step-assist?
(Really not a fan of step assisst but cannot find the right config where I should look for it, to hopefully disable it)

The step assist is at the very top of controls (above the normal area)

Aaaah, and I look through all the configs hoping I would find the one entry *laughs*
Thanks alot


[edit]
Since comments are welcome *grin*

- What I noticed so far is, that it seems quiet a bit difficult to find a seed where you have some sort of starting-area (for using this crystal orb), since more flat areas are quiet often used for these dungeon-entrances/houses or from minecraft-generated villages.
[edit 2]
Just noticed that the crystal-orb "overwrites" the world, so finding a starting place is not as difficult as I thought. Thought it should be a almost empty space I have to search ^^"
[/edit]


- And it might just be my laziness, but "large flat area" is always a very vague information (for some people 2x2 chunks is already large, others think more in terms of 5x5 chunks). So maybe a blockwise-information, like "at least 32x32 blocks" or something like that, would be very helpful in deciding which is a good area to use the crystal orb or not.


[edit 3]
Since I'm fairly new to the minecraft comes alive mod:
- When you start living alone and want to build your own village, you kidnap... *cough cough* I mean "convince" people from other villages to live at your place? :]


[edit 4]
Few more things from me *hides*

- Was the spawn-rate of iron-ore lowered?
I went through two cave-systems now and did quiet a bit of tunnel-mining, but havn't found a single iron-ore yet. :/

- The "Fish bait" from pam's harvestcraft could need some more acceptance of what fishes you can use to craft it.
The problem is that mainly minecraft fishes are accepted for the recipe at the moment but with all the pam's harvestcraft fishes you catch it's really difficult to get enough to craft even a little bit of bait.

Yeah I noticed this too, I posted on his YT channel and it looks like its been fixed in the latest patch... You might need to start a new game though, or at the very least go mine in chunks that weren't generated before installing the latest patch...

 

[Nezraddin]

Luckily I'm not that far in the pack yet, so starting over is no problem (besides, when playing a pack in alpha-version I always count with having to start over hehe)

Just hope I don't run into my two early deaths this time. Lycanite mobs (especially the lava ones and the spriggan) can be so very deadly in early game when you have no protection yet. :[

 

[Beavelguy]

Yeah villagers are super easy to bring from other villages to populate your own. Just tell them to follow you and set their home in one of your buildings. I tried converting zombie villagers first and it was a nightmare so I ended up just doing that. Poor things were traumatised by their trip through the nether though just make sure it isn't night time when you go back into the over world because they stop following when they go through a portal and they'll teleport back to their old village if it's night.

 

[Zarvoxbe]

Lycanite mobs are a pain in the backside some three blocks wide creature goes through a one block wide door.

This mod made early game very frustrating and deadly.

I don't like the diminishing return of food, in real life if you want to only eat pizzas you could.

In the "beginning one more" chapter the "Master chef" quest need you to make a cooking table that need two diamond for one component, not really early game for me.

Same chaper the quest "Go to find them all" don't detect the seeds.

 

[Beavelguy]

Oh is that seed quest broken now? I finally managed to complete it last patch, but the issue was finding the right seeds. Got them eventually by farming the different gardens. For the rest, I've heard land say in the past that if a certain part of the pack doesn't appeal then that's the beauty of minecraft... Mods can easily be removed/added. Personally I adore spice of life... Especially combined with pams and cooking for blockheads I find myself eating all kinds of different stuff, and it gives you a reason to actually farm different crops instead of just eating steak all day or abusing the overpowered toast ^^ sure, eating steak every day IRL would be epic but it trivialises the food/farming mechanics in game to be able to do that. Diamonds can be gotten fairly easily early game if you make an early mineshaft down to level 11. You just need 3 iron for a pick, although a bucket of water to deal with lava pits is handy and cuts down on lava monster related injuries ><

 

[Zarvoxbe]

I don't say that the autor does remove spice of life.

I say for me diminishing return is PITA especially at early game (I disable it in the config).

It is necessary that dimishing return only activate after a while when the player is supposed to have several types of food.
