Re-posting this because I didn't receive a response before...

After updating to 0.7.1, my quest book went all weird, making me do quests that I already did, but quests further down the questline are already completed. Did anyone else experience this problem?

 

[sirromcr46]

I just upgraded and following the FAQ, I just reset the questbook and went through all the Chapter 1 quest and about to dump everything, the FAQ then says to spawn in another Op questbook, do I keep the first book or throw it away and do I use a new questbook in each chapter?

[1.3] How do I upgrade from 0.6.5 to 0.7.1?
Regrowth is still in alpha, and often quests are being added, removed, and ordering changed, which causes some difficulties when upgrading. Additional, some retro-active world generation occurs with this update, resulting in some lag during the first load in the new version.

Note: Always take a backup of your world first! Do not apply these steps to your original save. In case of error, you can start over and try again.

Note: The time investment is proportional to how many quests you have completed. In my case, I had around 180 complete, and this process took me about 30 minutes.

The initial upgrade of a world takes some time, be patient and ignore the HardcoreQuesting errors in the console, they are really just warnings. Keep waiting. My world takes around 5 minutes to upgrade, on a high-end system. Alternatively, you can delete the minecraft/saves/<world>/HardcoreQuesting/players.dat file prior to upgrading to speed things up. If you go this route, you can skip the steps to reset the book below, and begin on manual quest completion.
Once the world has loaded, pause your game -- there's still things happening in the background and you will notice lag. In my case, I found that waiting a few minutes then restarting Minecraft entirely got rid of that lag.

Now, onto the quest book. You'll notice that all of your reputation is lost, only Chapter 1 is available, and that it is a mishmash of completed quests. Fixing this is what's going to take the most time. Dump all of your inventory into some chests. The basic process will be to complete quests, collect rewards, then dump those rewards (unless you want to be a cheater and get double credit ). Having a completely empty inventory makes this faster. Find a safe spot to stand where you can toss items away (I went for the ocean - void chests/bags/pipes are another option) . Life will be a lot easier if you are protected from monsters or if you turn on peaceful during the process.

You'll need to have cheats enabled to accomplish this, so if you're in single player, go to the menu and Open to LAN, be sure to select Enable Cheats. I don't play multiplayer, but I assume you will need op privileges for the next bit.

Now that you can run cheats, in the chat type: /hqm edit -- this will give you a quest book you can use to re-complete your quests.

Note: If you want to make things just right, do not just dive in and start completing quests! There is a potential to over-reward yourself with reputation.

The first thing you want to do, though counter-intuitive, is reset all the quests. This is done on the main menu page of the OP quest book by hold Control and Shift, then clicking the "Reset" button (Cmd + Shift on a Mac). This has to be done to clear out the problems in Chapter 1.

If you do not do this, you will not be able to re-complete all Chapter 1 quests, which prevents some other quests from unlocking, which prevents you from getting your reputation points, and is not a good time.

Now that you have a completely reset quest book, go into chapter one, and shift-click on all the quests you have completed. There are new quests in here, so be sure to leave those incomplete. Once your inventory is full, time to dump it. The easiest way is to hold down Control, Alt, and Space, then click an item in your inventory. This will throw everything out (once for the hotbar, once for the rest). You can also use NEI's cheat mode, and shift-click the trashcan icon.

Now give yourself another book with /hqm edit in the chat. Continue through the chapters, shift-clicking quests, claiming rewards, and dumping. You will have to bounce around between the chapters; some quests are triggered by reputation, or quests from other chapters. If you get caught up with where you were, congratulations, you are ready to toss the OP book, grab your gear, and get back to regrowing the world!

For me, this was not enough, I hit a wall - Quests weren't opening up that I knew I had completed, a bunch of ones in the Botania and Witchery quest lines, as well as a bunch from Chapter 5. Some quests are secretly triggered by holding items in your inventory. Pick up all of the following items you have or can make:

• Leather
• Gold Ingot
• Aluminium Ingot
• Lapis Lazuli
• Redstone
• Shards
• Diamond
• Blaze Rod

This should unlock the rest of the quests and hopefully with that, you can continue completing quests to the point you were pre-upgrade.

Many cross-breeding quest had opened up in Chapter 9, and the first quest in Chapter 11 was available. I chose to cheat my way through the cross-breeding quests and ditch the rewards, but you may wish to keep the rewards, or trigger the completions legitimately by picking up the seeds for each of the plants.

If you are powering through, be sure to pay attention to the other miscellaneous new quests that you have probably completed, either save those rewards, or complete those quests separately to avoid trashing rewards you do deserve.

OK New challenge, Anyone know a way to automate Living Rock production in this pack?

Have you tried using the bore mana lens? It breaks blocks and can be triggered with a redstone mana spreader on a timer. Since we know that the change from rock to living rock (or wood) is an exact-ish time you could create a long enough timer for it. Then hopperhock for pick up, the rannuncarpus for replacing. I know I've made tree farms with bore lenses before and it was lovely.

I just upgraded and following the FAQ, I just reset the questbook and went through all the Chapter 1 quest and about to dump everything, the FAQ then says to spawn in another Op questbook, do I keep the first book or throw it away and do I use a new questbook in each chapter?

You can use the same Op book, I put that in there because the method I gave dumps everything from your inventory, even the book.

I think there should be a more automateable way of making pure titanium later in the game. The crucible furnace is janky and bugs out alot. Titanium and melting down Limestone (for Titanium) is the only things we need it for at this point, and it would be nice if there was a way to get rid of this terrible machine in the late game.

See now, I hear about all of these problems but have never encountered them myself. I even set up a mariculture processing area in another 1.7.10 pack for the hell of it. Never had all these bugs/crashes people are complaining about. And same with this pack, I'm not having any problems with the crucible furnace. Just set up a hopper feeding into it, as I haven't heard anyone who has said they're having problems with it say they're using hoppers.

Right, here is exactly what our problems are:

1) Randomly throughout the normal usage, the bottom half of the Furnace will vanish clientside, causing anyone who clicks on it a crash to desktop. This persists until you restart the client.

2) On chunk unload/reloads, the temperature in the furnace goes back down to zero

3) The liquid almost never comes out the way its supposed to, or completly.

[Keep in mind this is all on a Server]

Oh I know what they are, there are plenty of posts describing bugs people are having with it. But I don't get them, which leads me to believe that it's user error. And the other 1.7.10 pack I did mariculture processing on was on a server.
I'm not sure how much the script to change the amount of molten ores changed the total function of the crucible furnace, that might have an effect on the output of liquids. Or I could be wrong, as is totally possible.

 

[SyberSmoke]

Made a little machine for analyzing seeds. Haven't really thought about it before, but in the new version it makes sense.

The JABBA barrels have hopper upgrades and facades. One barrel pulls unidentified seeds from a chest and puts them into the analyzer, and the second pulls identified seeds out of the analyzer and puts them into the other chest.

Spoiler

If only those upgrades didn't require an unholy amount of wood to make. Wooden construction blocks, omg...

edit: and of course there just has to be a bug... the barel that takes identified seeds puts all the seeds in one stack. Combining their stats. So if you have one 10/10/10 seed, and you put a bunch of 1/1/1 seeds into the barrel *after* the 10/10/10 seed, all the seeds will become 10/10/10. And of course, all my skeleton seeds just became 1/1/1...

That is not a bug, JABBA is defined to unify things in the ore dictionary based on the first instance. So If you have four types of copper, putting the first in you want will convert all other forms to that same type. This is an extension of that function, so not a bug, just an unintended consequence of JABBA doing what it is programmed to do.

If things seem a little wonky after updating from a previous version, try doing a Force Update (under options on the launcher)

Introduction:
Let me introduce you all to the modpack I've been working on - Regrowth.
It's a HQM driven pack where you find yourself in a desolate wasteland, lacking in natural growth and sparse of materials except for a few boulders and dead, charred trees. You'll quickly discover the depths of the earth to be barren as well, devoid of any form of ore. You will need to find a way to start restoring the presence of nature back to the world, and in doing so find yourself a way to start producing the materials you'll need to produce a thriving industry.

The pack is heavily adjusted to be a more cohesive experience through the usage of minetweaker and modtweaker, with just over 1000 lines of scripts at the time of writing this.
A large part of the idea behind the pack came from a couple of "what if?"s. Specifically, the pack was designed to be without ore, but while still having a world to work with. The other was to do so without the use of something like Ex Nihilo, finding a way to unlock access to resources for the player with the standard mods that exist in the pack.

Regrowth is now on the FTB launcher as a listed Third Party pack!!!

HaighYorkie has done a great spotlight on the pack, highlighting some of the key points of it, well worth checking out

Hey i was wondering if theres any way to update a server from 0.6.5 to the lastest without having to reset all the quests,

 

[MadMax-X]

Is the Auto Workbench supposed to refuse to take my weak infusion stone? It takes everything else without issue as far as I can tell.

Edit; Actually it won't take any non stackable items. I'mma research this to figure out what I'm doing wrong.

Update on the Auto-bench, nope, nothing suggests I'm doing this wrong, I just can't place any of the essence stones into the recipe area....

I think this is by design, I remember reading somewhere (in the buildcraft wiki?) that you're supposed to use the advanced (laser-powered) autocrafting table for non-stackables.

There really isnt, if you try updating your world without any .dat file changes you will get borked quest books
The easiest method is to delete all players hqm player.dat file and re-edit their individual quests
Sorry

Is there a way to keep Direwolves from spawning inside your base? I don't want to disable them but it's super annoying to come back in from tending the garden and get jumped by a pack that spawned inside your house where the light level should prevent mobs from spawning. I like the challenge they add to early game survival but it's a bit ridiculous to be completely unsafe in you own home.

The wolves obey the same spawn mechanics except they spawn in an area with a few wolves. More then likely if you add torches to your base in a perimeter so they can not be right up against a wall...they should have a buffer hat keeps their area spawns outside the walls.

That's the problem.. the dire wolves are hard-coded to spawn in any light level. You can turn down their spawn frequency in config/enderzoo/SpawnConfig_User.xml, but the chance still exist.

Oh I know what they are, there are plenty of posts describing bugs people are having with it. But I don't get them, which leads me to believe that it's user error. And the other 1.7.10 pack I did mariculture processing on was on a server.
I'm not sure how much the script to change the amount of molten ores changed the total function of the crucible furnace, that might have an effect on the output of liquids. Or I could be wrong, as is totally possible.

I haven't had any bugs with the Crucible on my server, though occassionally I get a weird client-side error. My wife and I, for example, may have different displays from same crucible (how much the internal tank is holding). Usually a quick disconnect/reconnect solves the issue, and we've never lost any materials.

I had two cases of the bottom half disappearing in 0.65. I was using hoppers and decided (perhaps wrongly) those were the cause so stopped using them. I haven't seen another incident since in either 0.65 or 0.71 (knock on wood.)

From reading the Mariculture threads around, I think this is not a pack issue but a base mod issue.
