The error log does not have much to go on, but one option would be to reupload the default maps files for the overworld and middle earth.

bug or intentional?, the three golem's at the farm, 2 are meant to be harvesters for the wheat/carrots/potatoes and one gather by the melons to store the stuff in the connected barrel network via the chest.
Now it looks like all three golem's are harvesters and the items are just left there, did something change? i cheated in a 4th golem with the gather core for my own use.. just in case

Howdy,

My first post! I'm new to this game and the modpacks so I knew learning how to play would be a challenge. Yeah, n00b questions. The GreatOrator helped me out by pointing in the direction of this website, thanks again. After making a few changes, the game is running stable from what I can tell. Working around the recipe issue by changing Pam's HarvestCraft to False was a huge help! When I logged on today I saw the new update 2.8.7 and loaded it up, selected my saved game and it crashed while loading. Damn. Tried a few changes, nada. I double checked Pam's HarvestCraft and noticed it was changed back to True so I changed it to False again, no crashing issues. I'm not sure what steps to take so I'm leaving it at False for the time being. Recipe works fine with it set to False. Suggestions? Just leave it?

Ok, here it comes, the n00b questions! How do I mine diamonds and the other nice gems?! I made a TC pickaxe out of Iron and it has leveled up several times, I think four or five levels past Legendary. However, it still says I can only mine Tin. I get a very slow progress count but I'm guessing it's going to just break and not produce any diamonds like mining stone by hand. What am I missing here?

How do I use items that are red flagged with "It can only be used for crafting"??

Thanks in advance!

You have to make a better pick in order to mine them. You can smelt iron again in a furnace to get some steel from artificer, which you can smelt in the Draconis blacksmith's smeltery and make a steel pick. After a couple level ups, you might just get a mining level up, which will let you mine obsidian i believe. The other thing you can do is get lucky, and get a set of cobalt tool heads, a thaumium binder, and 2 paper tool rods out of a reward bag. (Lets you make a cobalt pickaxe, and a cobalt mattock.) The steel pickaxe, in its base state, is capable of mining diamonds and the like.

Your recipe question, i do not know what to answer there, so i will leave it to someone else who knows more.
The vanilla pickaxes are marked as "only use for crafting" and are therefore unusable as pickaxes. They can be created and used in recipe's that call for them, but you are intended to use TiC and LotR tools, i believe.

So not sure if you are using the newest version, the game loads and map loads no issues, and we've been using the newest nei version on my WL server with no issues (did not change pams config) so there may be something else you changed?

I'm about to grab some dinner but after that I can change the setting again, let it crash then post the crash report here if that will help? It's been too long since I uploaded a crash report, I'm guessing I can just select the "Upload a file" option instead of doing the copy and paste thing.

To mine Diamonds etc, you need to improve the "mining level" on your pick. There are various ways to do this such as replacing the pickaxe head or adding materials to improve it (mob heads, diamond, emerald, and a few others.)
To replace the pickaxe head just make a new one, place the pick in the tool forge (or in the center of a tinker's crafting table next to a tool forge), and place the new one in a slot.

The level up you're talking about sometimes gives a random bonus to them, something you could otherwise add if it had a modifier slot on it. Such as adding redstone to make it faster, or lapis to add fortune/looting.

I would highly recommend checking out a Lets Play or a tutorial on the specific mods you're interested in.

Red flagged items are ONLY used for crafting, they will break if you try to use them to mine something.

EDIT: I had this all typed out HOURS ago and never hit submit...got distracted by other things.

EDIT 2:

Pastebin.org is great for crash report posting. Free and no account needed. Generally would recommend copy/paste in spoiler or using a pastebin link over an upload.

EDIT 3: @GreatOrator The second "Draconic Evolution" quest "Putting it to good use" still states on the right "Craft 4 dust with coal" even though the recipe is now just smelting.

Any updates on the whole "slow swing speed even for rapiers" issue? Searched the thread and its been mentioned.... once it basically renders everything but a bow useless unless it can do 20+damage, normally id just make a basic sword and be able to defend myself against most mods but now? im cowering in a hole with an amazing weapon incapable of defending myself.

I have a server for me and my friends. It has 6Gb of memory. I was wondering if there is anything the I can config with the mods or take off or add to increase performance? For the server not client.

Yeah, pretty much stuck with the swing, but since it's implementation it's affect has been thoroughly tested and all of the pack bosses can be defeated using ingenuity and potions with little to no extra effort

All the mods server side are pretty much required unfortunately, though I am running a 4 GB server and it is running fine, just needs a restart every 12 hours or so

What about a mod or plugin that can limit some animal spawns (like sheep in middle earth). Or limit all the drops the golems at the farm make. Without accidentally deleting Needed NPC and pets though.

Well, I have seen those cause issues, but you could look into plugins for cauldron servers, though can't help much there
