[1.7.10] [Curse] Sky Kour [0.9.7] A Hardcore Skygrid/Tech Based Modpack!

[midnightvelocity]

A Modpack By midnightvelocity


​

 

[KewaiiGamer]

FINALLY !! A SKYGRID MODPACK!!!!
I will try it right now. It looks really good.


Also.... FIRST

 

[KewaiiGamer]

It looks like some recipes involving planks are bugged. For instance, I can't make sticks out of any wood but oak and when I make patterns from TiC using oak planks will craft 2 patterns while using any other type of wood only crafts 1

 

[midnightvelocity]

Hmm. First of all thanks for downloading my modpack! And second, a fix for both of the bugs you mentioned will be coming soon in the next update.

I laughed when I woke up this morning and saw that your comment has been edited. I guess you noticed both bugs existed xD

Yes. Yes I did xD. Anyway, they will be fixed in version 0.9.6, which will be available as soon as it gets approved.

 

[KewaiiGamer]

I am really enjoying your modpack but one thing that I am struggling with is that when I quickly press "1" to move an item to the hotbar and then press "E" to close the Inventory it just closes and reopens itself.I think it might be an issue with the DualHotbar and/or the InfiniteInvo mods but I guess you can't fix it without removing it/them

Yeah that might be an issue with either DualHotbar or InfiniteInvo, or it could be inventory tweaks interacting with one of those mods, I'm not sure. But anyway, thank you! I'm glad your enjoying it

The update that fixes both of these bugs is out!

 

[twisto51]

Considering how many times I died just getting cobblegen up and running this would probably be an entertaining pack to stream.

 

[nat2601]

Damnit! No hqm! Oh well, I'll still give it a try, is it a little lite?

 

[midnightvelocity]

Theres no HQM, but there is an achievement book. And yes, I'd say its a pretty lite modpack.

 

[gamermsn]

what ways are there to get ores other than finding them and the ore bushes?

MFR Laser Drill and the Deep Dark are options from the mods in the pack although they could both be disabled one way or another. I haven't gotten far enough to explore those possibilities and probably won't since the initial resource grind is such a nightmare. Nether might be an option for some stuff too.

 

[midnightvelocity]

you can either use progressive automation miners to mine blocks automatically, or create a quarry using a builders block from RFTools. The Builders block is best the way to collect resources automatically, but setting it up is it a little complicated.
1. make a builder's block
2. make a shape card
3. make a quarry shape card
4. right click with the shape card and set the shape of it to a solid box of your choice of dimensions
5. make a lever
6. make a chest
7. make something that generates power, like a solar panel
8. power the builders block, put the shape card in it, lever on the side of it, chest on top of it, then click the lever and watch it mine blocks superfast!

the deep dark is disabled, the mfr laser drill is not, though I have not tried it to see if it works properly. And the nether is not a place you'd want to go without a jetpack in my opinion. Also have you tried making paths out of half slabs to get around the grid without having to jump to each block? It makes the grind up until having a jetpack a lot easier and less death prone.

 

[twisto51]

Yes, I have made slab paths, although I usually just put one on each end and leave the middle open and jump over.

That isn't why I died though. I died getting saplings to grow those first trees for the wood and then instead of sitting there waiting for my one tree to grow I died a few more times gathering more stuff on the way down each time. Those suicides sped up the early game a bit. Had around 6-9 deaths by the time I had cobble gen going.

Oh, and I can't jump directly between two horizontal blocks at all without using slabs. To move horizontally at the start I jumped over and landed on the next layer down. If that jump is supposed to be doable without haste it would seem there is something wrong with my grid.

No thats normal, you can only jump in-between blocks by sprint-jumping.

Based on the modlist, tree growing simulator is in here, so you can twerk for trees.

Wowsa. I love Skyblocks. I'm terrible at Parkour. Regardless, I am loving this Modpack. I've started a Let's Play series, if you are interested.
