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

[Skoffert]

I'm trying to hand in the Another Side Another Story quest (under 3. The way the World Works).
I've thrown my Lexica Botania into the Portal to Alfheim and it added Elven Knowledge to it.
I'm guessing it needs to have Relic Knowledge added to it to be detected, but from what I've heard I need to kill a Guardian of Gaia to get a Dice of Fate to get a relic for the book to add it.

Is this true? Because of what I see in the quest line (yes, I used the hqm editor) that happens later.
Should I consider my quest completed and "cheat"? or have I missed something?

Go for it. The while point was to get the elf knowledge

@thephoenixlodge are you going to start a discord channel?

 

[Jugg3rV]

Tried your suggestion. No luck

Delete the whole config folder and redownload

Hello, I've been having issues with textures, downloading properly and loading correctly. On 0.8.8 the textures worked fine and everything was hunky dory (I was having issues before), but now with 0.9.1 I am having issues again, but this time it is messing with my text. All my typing is squares and impossible to read. Looking for any help with this. I should also mention that I am on a Mac. I have downloaded and redownloaded the pack, I have confirmed multiple times that the old pack works, and I have tried Force Updating too.

One fix for this is once you've loaded your world, press F3 and T together.

Sweet holy Moses that worked! Thank you so much! If you don't mind me asking what does that actually do to fix the problem?

"The Thermalily now resets its cooldown back to 5 minutes if it absorbs any lava while it's in cooldown."

yup that would do it, bah and i loved my 32 thermalily setup on a timed rotation

I am still enjoying myself with this modpack

I get stuck now and then but the wiki and the search function really helps out a lot. I'd really like to start on Thaumaturgy but since I'm just at Arcanist 47 I have a long way to go.

I'm having some trouble with my local lan setup. Ever since I updated, my friend and I can't join each other. The settings are the same as before, we have a working connection, we both have all the same versions(java 8 update 66 and regrowth 0.9.1) but we can't even see each other in the multiplayer join screen when a lan world is opened. Anyone else had this problem and/or a solution to it?

It happens some time. Try direct connect (you will need to find out the port)

Tried it, still gives me the java.net exception. It says server time out each time.

Maybe a problem with the firewall?

Checked that too. We were playing 8.8 just fine before the Update. It may well be a java thing.

Recheck the windows firewall for incoming rules. This could be resetted due to a update of the operating system (rare but happens).
Also check your router for the portforwarding. The random ports on LAN games tend to reach from 47000-60000 afaik.
Check if your internet IP got renewed, which varies on lease time and provider.

If you are not sure if it's a routing problem or missing free ports in your firewall setting, you might want to try a workaround with a VPN.

That actually shortens my survival time, as it turns out, because the beacon is pretty much permanently covered in purple stuff that just whithers me dead. He also didn't teleport there more than once for the entire time I managed to stay alive. Yet from the looks of it I need to hit him at least ten times to get through the final few HP.

This fight has really been getting on my nerves even since the base version. Just what was Vazkii thinking...

Late to the party and have not read on to see if solution found - but I think that a thaumcraft wand with shock focus with maximum upgrades makes most fights much easier (almost too easy)

Edit: Read on and found mention of an "infernal wand" ... not heard of that but an infernal wand with maxed shock focus may be my next weapon of choice.
PS Glad to have missed the 0.9.0 mishap.

There's a conflict between forge's pretty loading screen and I think it was the way Macs handle multi-threading. The solution is to disable the loading screen in the forge config, but since I like the load screen I tend to use the keyboard shortcut instead. The error is actually on the Mac side of the equation. I think Forge in more recent versions detects that you're on a Mac and disables the loading screen for you to avoid the graphic glitches.
As for what the keyboard shortcut does, it's actually a vanilla command to Refresh the Texture library which gets messed up during the forge load screen.

Note: I'm a scandalously noobish botania noob.

My understanding is that the ultimate outcome of this that you can no longer put a bunch of thermalillies around a lava generating source on a first-come-first-serve basis. Instead, each lilly would need to be on its own timed lava source so that it will only encounter lava when its ready to consume it. Is this correct?
