[1.7.10][LISTED] InfiTech 2 Modpack v3.2.21 [HQM][GregTech balanced hard-mode modpack]

[Pyure]

This is a good idea. This may save some time setting up barrels and a golden chest, then dolly'ing said barrels and chest back into the backpack.

Indeed! And nice tip about Potency 3 being overkill.

We also had this idea of possibly setting up a wireless redstone transmitter at the "far" end of the vein, which would transmit the signal required for the bores to function. Once the bores reached that point, the bores would scoop up the transmitter, kill the signal, and quit mining.

We never actually tried it: the bores don't function in a clean cross-section, so determining the "end" point might be a pita. Its probably more trouble than its worth, but if you're concerned about them running inefficiently past the vein, it might be something to look into. Its also just "neat" that you can determine an end-point if you want to (assuming it works).

 

[MigukNamja]

Its probably more trouble than its worth

Mostly, yes. In my experience, it seems a single jar of Perdito per Arcane Bore is *usually* sufficient to get all the way through or mostly through a vein.

Rather, the best use of my time is usually cherry-picking blocks on the edge of the Arcane Bores, capturing a nearby node, exploring nearby caves, etc.,. And, it only take 10 to 15 minutes for a 'Potency I' bore with a fast pick to cut entirely through a GT 5 vein. So, I try not to worry too much about over-quarrying/over-boring.

 

[MajPayne21]

All of these things are true. I highly recommend one pair of magic mirrors per arcane bore. I have the mirrors placed two blocks above (1 blank block in between) a row of vanilla hoppers that are blocked in on all sides. Because the mirrors 'spill' dropped entities out the destination end, I wanted to make sure that the drops would stay on top of the hoppers. Each hopper is pointed out to an EIO conduit set to always extract. Down the line, I first have upgraded barrels for cobblestone, dirt, and gravel so that all those items go in first. I then have a bank of iron chests for all 'useful' drops. Currently, we have plenty of cobblestone, so the barrel is connected to a trash can by another EIO conduit.

It is VERY important to put the barrels in the conduit line closer to the hoppers than the chests. It is also important to pre load the barrels with some items shift right-click them to lock the items in.

This system has been working amazingly, and it saves me a ridiculous amount of time setting up the bores and shipping product back and forth.

Excellent advice ! I'm looking forward to logging in tonight and upgrading my ore processing system/chain.

 

[Tyriael_Soban]

Throw a fully-enchanted one of these plus a fully-enchanted Focus of Excavation in an Arcane Bore, pipe in some Perdito, and slap me sideways if you aren't impressed with the speed.

I was impressed by the speed with no enchants and a jar of Perdito ...

Not sure how i failed to mention the over abundance of ProjectZulu fish, they wrecked my boats quite often haha.
Gonna jump to 2.0.0 immediately (after backup) ... losing all my progress though

 

[zBob]

Awesome I was waiting for a big update to show up before jumping into this pack and just in time for the holidays so I should even have some time to play.

Now for creating a new world do I want to choose standard, biomes o plenty or make some alterations (manual updates) and use extrabiomesXL? I know there was discussion earlier in this thread about not updating certain mods as it would mess up current worlds but since I am starting fresh...

 

[Sleepyscumbag]

Wouldn't it make sense if we could use IC2 fertilizer for forestry multifarms? It kinda nags me we can't

It doesnt matter. BoP will generate only if you will set the world type to BoP on new world screen. EXBL will generate always, you can however disable the mod to prevent it generating. Or you can just ditch both world-biáome gens and use vanilla.

Unfortunately thats out of my abilities to implement this. It needs to be done inside Forestry itself. Feel free to suggest the change to them

 

[netmc]

I noticed the thaumcraft magic biomes and taint biomes weight are still at their defaults of 5 and 2 respectively. Any recommendations on where to up these to to get them to spawn?

taint biomes give me the jeebies, not to mention that the size of them is insane in the newest versions of thaumcraft.
You wont need (sic want, imo youre nuts if you want taint to spawn more often) to alter the weight to make taint spawn more often
magic forest dosnt seem to be too rare set on default either on any of my worlds either.

Can't you just make an oredict with both fertilizers?

 

[Tyriael_Soban]

Can't you just make an oredict with both fertilizers?

I seem to recall that the dev(s) for forestry said that phosphor (apatite) based fertilizer was the only fertilizer for the multiblock farms for a reason.

It doesnt matter. BoP will generate only if you will set the world type to BoP on new world screen. EXBL will generate always, you can however disable the mod to prevent it generating. Or you can just ditch both world-biáome gens and use vanilla.

EXBL has a very nice config. I personally disable all the EXBL biomes that look like vanilla, leaving just the really cool-looking ones. Otherwise, if I don't do that, vanilla biomes that I need like Jungle are too/extremely rare.

 

[gallowglass]

Is there any reason one shouldn't be able to make Thaumcraft void seeds in this pack? My son was trying last night to no avail. I couldn't find anything in the configs, and I haven't gotten around to trying it myself. I didn't want to pick up all of his research on our server, since he is way warped (which he seems to enjoy) and I didn't have a chance last night to try it in creative. (BTW, how would one go about that? There must be come kind of creative mode thaumonomicon (sp?)....)

 

[MigukNamja]

..Thaumcraft void seeds..

I can't make them, but I have gotten several of them from the Crimson Clerics. They take a bit of, um..."convincing", but that shouldn't trouble Thaumaturgists who are deeply warped.
