I'm curious, is there some special trick to enchanting something with silk touch?
I like this idea even better than my own (of smeltery requiring you hit one building and grabbing some lame piece of wall or desk as a request/smeltery reward)
The quest book should lead you to a much simpler village than the city. Bonus if the village has a sign or something with coords of another city.
it is actual easier now to get a smelter going. There is no need to grind you just need to find the building with the smelter in it and grab the tp out.It's not the ocean biome that makes it salt water. It's an alien planet with so much mineral/metals in its soil that some of it just naturally leaks out into the water. That osmosis thing
And the recipe disabled so you'll just have to work that much harder for you mats until you get the smeltery doubling and later tripling affects, probably? Besides, why else would you want to go visit that mob infested hellhole
The fluid trans is better. even thought it takes power you still have the chance to drop saplings when used for leaves which in turn can be used for dirt or put back in for more water. the crucible just melts the leave. If you put a tank or drum on top and set the water to out put it also doesn't require pipes making it also cheaper then the crucible.
You must be at a point in the game where you're able to create power
I wonder if those redstone energy cells I found were loaded with juice, hmm.
yes there is you can go online and look up the highestlevel you need to have the highest chance of getting silk touch. Then just get that much xp. You can also make sure you use item that can only get a few enchants and silky being one of them kind of like when people want repair in FTB mod pack with Thuamcraft added in. How many level 30 item could you get in 30 days. TiCo books are easy to make and require no leather. You can get 4 Obi in the 1st 2-3 days. You can have a level 30 enchant table running with in i say 4 days. That would leave you 26 days to grab level 30 enchant. My test i got 1 in 4 diamond shovels. An iron axe with silky is best tryed at levels 21, 25, 26 , and 30 as you have 7% or higher chance. If you use gold for the axe you can get it as low as 17th level with w 7.2% chance.

you can create power at the start. the surviv generator is cheap and can be set to auto run 24/7 off of planks. since it only gives off 5 no matter what you use you can run it off planks for cheap and have power.You must be at a point in the game where you're able to create power

Is it nuts that I'd prefer to spend my xp on armor enchants? Given that I can get emeralds/ST just by letting my sieves/cobblegens grind away, and I can't get special armor that way, I'd rather spend the xp where its most useful.[DOUBLEPOST=1408109802][/DOUBLEPOST]
good info, thanks. I thought I saw in an youtube video that the generators all required something I dont have (a pcb something or other). I never did actually look at the recipe.
Again I'm curious what item you can enchant so that you can get the leaves with the item being destroyed? The normal items only have 1 durability. Except Invar ones. But if you got invar to spare why not just use invar shears?
Not trying to be difficult, but it sounded like you had a secret technique that I didn't know about.
Personally I focus on the secret quest to get the machine frame to make a pulverizer to make gravel. 2 survival generator run it about the same speed that the AA can use the sifter.
And with all the spawners in the city, finishing the quest will be easier now.
Powering a transposer is easy. I'm surprised you don't have power running before raiding the cities. Survivalist Generator ftw total cost is something like 11 cobblestone, 2 Redstone, and an iron ingot. Or was it a gold ingot? I'm at work depending on memory, but either way its easy enough power and since a single charcoal/coal/wood burns for over 20 min, it's cheap enough to keep running 24/7.You must be at a point in the game where you're able to create power

You'll be less surprised when you understand how poorly prepared I was for the cities, and how often I got owned by suicidal tower-leaping pigmen.

5 cobblestone, 2 redstone, 1 furnace, 1 iron ingot. I like using 1 block of charcoal. 4 hours+ power
You're braver than me, I'm about 22 days in this round and playing it safe....city was bad mojo for me. Really bad mojo.
Hehe well I guess my memory wasn't too far off.5 cobblestone, 2 redstone, 1 furnace, 1 iron ingot. I like using 1 block of charcoal. 4 hours+ power
No I lamely cheat more than you. I backup my game and restore it every 10 minutes when something kills me.
not the survivial one unless he changed it. it is the only one that was left unchange so you could have a little starting power. I haven't chack the recipe for 1.1.12 yet though so give it a look.[DOUBLEPOST=1408114326][/DOUBLEPOST]
To be honest i hate those hammers i would rather have it hooked up to where you could break the ore down in the grinding stone...hint hint...
In Thaymcraft 4 you can make the The Hoe of Growth. What people do when they want repair is they enchant the hoe and then disenchant it on to a book. they then take the book and put it into the Book copying machine. There is one that takes power and copies enchanted book and there is one that makes three copies of the same book enchant but require you to make a plate for xp depending on the enchanted book.
Using this in game you can make a auto disenchant and strip off the silky from a val tools and put that enchanted book on something using an anvil or the auto anvil as long as it can be enchanted. You can even use auto enchant and automatically get enchanted books to add to tools. All you would need is a 1by3 hole with a way to hit the leggings. You can even set yet a Vacuum hopper next to an AA next to the said trap and have it collect the xP and loot drop for the enchnating system. And you would get all this set up way before you could get 9 emeralds for the TiCo

Well, I used my AA to collect an entire 27 stacks of gravel while I did other stuff, then used the same AA to sift 11-12 stacks of gravel to get the 9 emeralds while I did other stuff. *shrug* not a big deal to me. You're thinking of silk touch in terms where it's not a big deal or not hard to get it in other mod packs or even vanilla, but in this pack, having silk touch on a hatchet or scythe is a pretty big upgrade from using sheers. In fact, you could even survive without silk touch until you get your MFR harvester and just use the collect leaves option.
You don't even need a smeltery to be that big with the high oven but the various seared blocks do make for nice decor.
I too get tired of this argument, as has been stated elsewhere it sounds like you are not doing a great job of automating your sieving proccess, but it really doesn't take much effort to sieve 12 stacks of gravel particulary as you'll be gathering loads of other useful materials in the proccess.
yes in BnB, you can find a village, and travel in and out of range each day before nightfal and eventually trade for enough emeralds, but I have a hard time calling that easier than killing a handfull of mobs from a secure base, then using a quest reward to auto collect emeralds for me.
How is a it big deal having it and you can even not use it and get the same effect? and i Think I would rather have my AA sieving. I would not make 2 AA at the start when there are more usefull stuff to be made.

I think the one argument magzie makes, hits home. What use is the silky touch enchantment on ticon tools? Limited since it's skyblock. Given that, it seems sort of a gimmie to make it somewhat easy to obtain somewhat early on.
Iskandar (iirc) even said that he'd change that if it was a config change (it is) but not if it wasn't. I don't see the argument here. 1.1.3 probably will have that change, iskandar just has to verify this.

I record all my actions in my Let's Plays, rofl. My auto sieving is on cam and on the thread. rofl
So being able to get 9 emeralds in 1 day is not better and easier then then a RNG roll off of gravel that will take days to get 1-2? now i'm confused. And you forget there is emerald ore in BnBs which can be mine in the right locations. The only way in a skyblock is through the sieving.
