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

[Ligerzero564]

I was carving out some cracked sand around my base when I got a blue screen. When my computer came back I tried re launching my world but the game crashes with the attached report. I was using a flint pick and had just broken a block of cracked sand next to me. I can also say that a new world does indeed work fine. Please tell me I did not loose a second world already.

if you want to sort of cheat the 10/10/10 which sounds like you do if your going to mess with configs download torcherino and the torch will instantly grow the crops and spread almost instantly so you can get your 10/10/10s and then just remove the torch from the world and be on your way

Thanks for the suggestion. This looks a whole lot easier than messing with configs.

If you're finding the sprinkler system ineffective, something is not right in your setup. It's amazing how much it boosts growth. I finish one harvest of a 1x7 row and almost before I'm done one of the plants is mature again.

The sprinklers are definitely effective (hoping they are better behaved in the next version), and the Agricarnation is available pretty early if you'd rather get your growth that way.

Would you two mind sharing your sprinkler setup? Maybe I'm just doing something wrong?

My understanding is, with 0.7, it's going to be even harder to increase the stats, which I am actually excited for. I've restarted this pack a dozen times because I really enjoy trying different methods of increasing the seeds. I haven't found it needs to be that much of a time sink, just set it and forget it. Bone meal and the magical fertilizer keep me stocked early.

You mention "...different methods of increasing the seeds." I'd love to hear about the these. Always willing to try new things.

I don't have that need to get to 10/10/10.. just x/10/y -- I only care about the drops -- and I don't need it the moment I get the crops.

Oh, yeah, I know there are a lot of people out there that don't necessarily care about getting 10/10/10 or who don't mind the normal way of doing it. I realize it's totally a personal thing, hence why I am looking for solutions I can implement personally as opposed to trying to get the pack author to mess with the growth rate or mutation rate or whatever on a pack-wide scale. If I want to mess around with stuff it shouldn't change the pack for everyone else. My issue, my job to make it work for me.

Not sure how much of a change .7 will make to raising stats but all you really need is a single 10/10/x crop to cross breed with. I took nearly 20 seeds to 10/10/10 from 1/1/1 before I realized I could cross bread them with the stuff I already had a lot faster. Instead of getting one or two stat increases per breed they went 1/1/1 -> 6/6/6 -> 8/8/8 or 9/9/9 -> 10/10/10 so 4 to 5 generations instead of the 30+ and the results were the same every time with all the stats going up at the same time. As long as that doesn't change, it might be harder to get your first 10/10/x crop but after that it is cake.

Okay, this sounds like a VASTLY superior method to what I was doing...except I am not 100% sure I understand what you mean. Would you mind explaining it a little more? It sounds really useful.

As long as that doesn't change, it might be harder to get your first 10/10/x crop but after that it is cake. I plan to start over, the balance changes in the change log are pretty extensive and my world seed is garbage to begin with so it gives me a good excuse to find a new one.

IIRC, this will be disabled in 0.7. You cannot crossbreed and increase stats.

Take a 10/10/x crop that is fully grown, cross crop in the next space, then a fully grown seed you want to breed. Magic crops don't cross-breed so you get just pure stat improvement with the occasional lower quality of the 10/10/x crop that you just need to trash.

 

[Cadeff]

The update log makes it sounds like you can't cross breed a plant with itself in more and get increases, but I might be wrong.

What I prefer to do is any crop with a 10/10/10 sugar cane or cactus. Since they require sand, it usually forces the other species to grow on the crosscrop.

 

[Cadeff]

That is ideal, I just didn't have a 10/10/10 cactus or sugar cane and since I thought the update would be today or tomorrow I didn't see the point. That will be my first seed to work on with my restart however.

Come to think of it, nether wart or the mushrooms should work, too. Pretty much any non-dirt crop. I generally prefer catcus/cane since they swap out with other plants easier.

 

[Cadeff]

Well and cane is one of the first crops you get after wheat so you can start working on getting it to 10/10/10 the earliest. Not a lot of use for a massive stockpile of netherwart, cactus, or mushrooms but I never seem to have enough paper...

 

[earlbrownie]

just wondering, are people restarting the mod pack world becauset he new update will break worlds or are you starting out of personal choice, I'd rather not restart my world and wondering if it's at all still possible to just continue on with a large amount of new quests to go for?
I know for a fact that the thaumcraft red cloak guys wont spawn in my world pretty much at all as I've probably explored ~100 square chunk area of my world and probably will have to go a long way to find one
all that being said I am (as most other people) hyper-hyped for the update
:-D

 

[Cadeff]

Considering there is almost zero world gen enabled it would be difficult for an update to break a map without removing a major mod or something similar. I'm restarting because of the progression changes but there doesn't appear to be any reason that you won't be able to keep your map unless thephoenixlodge says it will break.

You should be able to keep your map. As for the obelisks, what you can do is once you update to 0.7, go into the thaumcraft config and retrogen the obelisks to get them showing up properly in existing chunks.

Yay!
Now it's time for me to make use of the super fast method of getting 10/10/10 crops before the update occurs!

I progressed really far in terms of crops and getting them to 10.10.10, but I stopped because of the level of changes coming. I know you don't need to start over, I'm just doing out of personal choice. However, I am just killing myself waiting for the update

This is true. In fact, from what I read, having an adjacent crop that ISN'T a parent causes stats to go DOWN!

Not the case with the way I've got it configured.
Anyway, I've just submitted 0.7 and have added that ridiculous changelog to the first post and rearranged the changelogs there to have the newest at the top. I also had to remove some of the old changelogs from the post in order to actually fit the 0.7 changelog within the character limit.
I'll stick that changelog here too though just cos.

- Dire Wolves actually spawn now

Great, now 9x9s will start appearing everywhere.

Just finished setting up an auto-harvest system for the first floor of my farm building!

You can't see all the fancy piping below, but that's Obsidian pipes feeding into iron/gold, and leading to...

Which is a temporary storage solution for the time being. It'll look much nicer once I finish with this and the other 12 floors.

Is it known when .7 comes out?

 

[Mega_Batcow]

I just started this modpack and i didnt really know if i would like it i thought it would just be another Super grindy magical crops pack with ex nihilo getting ores and making seeds from them and farming forever. But its NOTHING like that i love the way you have implemented botania, a mod i have never actually used but have seen and loved what i saw, into making the essence seeds with the runic altar and mana pool. All recipes are changed to make it more enjoyable and different than all other modpacks. I love the quests and the unspoken quest to get all 10, 10, 10 seeds. Im obsessed with this modpack and its the best one have ever played. 8/8 would recommend
