[1.7.10] Regrowth - A WIP HQM pack - Now Listed!

[thephoenixlodge]

Did you use an Auto Chisel in any of your quests? Updating Chisel changed a few item id names. If you load an old world to have Forge tell you what blocks have been removed from the world, those item will have to be removed from your quests before you updated the mods. Once they are removed you can update the mods and you'll be able to re-add those items to the quests, then you can save again.

Well aware of Chisel update causing issues, and am aware that its probably what has caused this. I have tried using a copy of the instance pre chisel update and deleting the references to chisel blocks in the quests.
I have however just been informed by the players on my test server for the pack that there is another reference to limestone that I'd forgotten about, so I'll give it another shot

The quest "Not Farmville 3" says to crossbreed potato and belladonna for mandrake, but it is actually regular seeds and belladonna

Know about that one too.
I think I'm going to look at releasing a 0.4.1 tomorrow to fix these bugs that have been found.
Oh, and no quest rewrite required, it was due to my having missed the other mention of limestone in the quests

Whats the recommended way for creating a new world? I feel like thriving villages do not really fit the wasteland theme of the pack. On the other hand im afraid that the pack will guide me towards The End at some point.

Basically as long as you don't spawn in the middle of an ocean biome the world will start you as intended. Personally I'm ok with the presence of the villages, but if enough people think it'd be better to disable them then I will.
End is not required presently at all, though it is accessible far before you have the equipment to safely take it on if you so wish.

Hi guys, I like the challenge of this modpack so much that I decided to make a Let's Play Series of it on my YoutubeChannel: LMoBtRiX
Here you have the banner of the first episode, it should be online today if everythings goes right. So let's get the hype on!

 

[lewis salter]

when i try to make sugar cane seeds and belladonna seed using the agricraft mod the mutation never happens i have tried loads and cannot get a mutaion to happen can you tell me what im doing wrong

 

[nimO]

1. Did you use "crossbreeding crops" instead of the default ones?
2. The neighbouring crops need to be fully grown for mutation to happen so dont harvest them.
3. One of the recipes described in the quest book is wrong, check with NEI what seeds are needed.

Most fun I've had with a pack in a while. The villages feel a bit broken, you can skip a lot of the survival parts if you are lucky enough to find a village. Free food, wood, seeds and shelter.

Might I suggest adding a recipe to make belladonna seeds? Potatoes and carrot have one, kinda surprising that belladonna didn't have one.

Great pack. Can't wait to see how this develops.

EDIT: I can always just manually disable villages. Still, food for though.

a) oh server, me want
b) charcoal is such a rare drop, just saying you should up the chance just a little, I have 3 stacks of sticks and 5 charcoal

You can hunt for Charcoal by just farming the "Charred Wood", not the dead wood. Also charcoal stopped being a problem for me as soon as I got the first saplings.

Another question, sometimes seeds with matching attributes (growth, gain and strength) do not stack. Are there some more hidden attributes like the generation which waila does not show?

 

[DefinedAscent]

I also found a village in my playthrough and they do in fact help you skip a lot of the quest challenges, I think they should end up being disabled

 

[C'mon You Pancy]

The "Earthly Possessions" quest doesn't let me claim the reward, anyone know what is wrong?
Edit: I just read the previous reply's and found out it was a bug with chisel. derp

 

[thephoenixlodge]

The only qualm I have with disabling villages is that it then becomes a LOT harder to play without the quests, although doing so requires knowing the pack really well anyway. If you want to disable them yourself in the meantime, you can do so in the extrabiomes.cfg file.
Anyway, I've submitted the 0.4.1 update to the 3rd party team, so all going well it should be on the launcher soon. This update should fix most if not all of the bugs I know about, but let me know if I missed anything.

If anyone knows of a way to potentially stop oak trees from spawning in beach and ocean biomes (on islands) do let me know, they break progression thoroughly and I can't seem to find a way to disable them.

disable the spawning of beach and ocean biomes?

 

[thephoenixlodge]

Problem is that they are needed for a couple of different reasons, namely mariculture, but also for there to be a grass surface for wispy cotton to spawn on in the spirit world

 

[MrPeach774]

enable vanilla ocean and beach biomes? they don't have trees i believe. Maybe add recipes for the mariculture stuff? ask someone for a mod?

These are vanilla beach and ocean biomes. It may yet come down to asking someone for a mod
