Hi! I've got some questions. Yes, I did read the FAQ, which also got me confused a bit.
Me and my friend started playing this pack a week ago, we've got a nice big base in Middle-Earth, near the area where the big spinning ring puts you. The thing is, that there are no aggressive mobs spawning there and also the hobbits are really annoying walking and spawning into our base. I've got several questions about this:
- Is it okay that we built a base in Middle-Earth? The FAQ says at some part that I should not as it would get rewritten with each update, but then I read elsewhere that it's not a problem.
- Is the non-spawning of aggressive mobs intended? It's really hard to get bones or other drops like this, and also the game gets kind of boring as there's nothing to defend us against. At least yet. I mean, we could go back to the Overworld every time we'd like to farm them, but 1. my server which I'm running really doesn't like players switching dimensions (it usually crashes), 2. Waymeet (where the portal is) is quite a few hundred blocks away from us, and while it's not that big of a ride, it would be still annoying if we had to always go there every time we wanted mobdrops.
- Also, as I said, the hobbits are really annoying. Could I ask what the spawning rules are for them? So at least we could get rid of them in our base.
I also have some questions about the quests, as I'm not sure if we're doing them as intended. The HQM quest book (kinda) works, not counting that I had to add it in manually because we did not spawn with it, and also the guy at spawn which would've turned on questing mode did not give any. I've also found out that if I press L you get another quest interface, which seems to be bugged out for me. It says that I should go to the king (which I did), I got a teleport crystal thing (I don't know its name), and then the quest disappeared. After a bit of playtime though, I opened it again and saw that I had the king-quest again, which got me another teleport crystal thing, and then also no quests. I did not go back there again, but if I open my quests page, it says that I have that quest - again. I assume that there would be other quests after the king's, but actually I'm not sure, that's why I'm asking here.
Just another small question: I'd really like to get into Applied Energystics, but it seems like that because of there are no real technical mods, like Ender IO or Big Reactors (I'm not complaining, just stating the facts), I really have no idea what I could do to build a good energy source, which is really easily maintainable, or even better, infinite.
Other than that, I'm really enjoying the pack right now, and so is my friend! We're looking forward to the boss fight with Sauron (if there's any. I'm not actually sure, just hoping that there would be.)
