I wouldn't like Oreregen or Trailmix. And mods like Veinminer or flatsigns I wouldn't use either. But then again, right now I'm thinking in terms of AutoMagiTech where I'm only focused on Tech and Magic mods so I'm not looking at this as well as I could.Would people play a 1.6.4 pack with these mods + TE?
@Ash that pack looks good to me. Not sure I'd use all of it. But the basics I would want are there. I would love to see TE in the pack as well.
Treecapitator makes TiCo's lumber axes and Thaumcraft's Axe of the Stream obsolete.Would people play a 1.6.4 pack with these mods + TE?
Not quite. I don't like Treecapitator, but Axe of the Stream has the advantage that you get all the items straight into your inventory.
Treecap has the advantage of removing leaves, of course the Scythe exists, that is another tool to be carrying around, and when chopping a Twilight Oak you need all the inv space you can get.
For chopping down a Twilight Oak, a quarry is my tool of choice.[DOUBLEPOST=1383903091][/DOUBLEPOST]
I thought Forge Multipart was needed for Project Red.
If you plant a canopy tree directly next to a Twilight Oak and lumber axe the canopy tree, you'll take down the entire TO. It's a pretty neat trick that I learned from Wylds stream a couple nights ago.
I don't like taking advantage of exploits. And even if it isn't considered an exploit, I don't like using tools that are too powerful. Some things are supposed to take a bit of time and effort.
It's a pretty neat trick that caused my friend to crash the entire server, repeatedly (until we figured out what was wrong).
If your twilight oak or your canopy tree are linked to any other trees in the same way you aim to set them up here, then they will be affected too. And if those other trees are themselves connected to yet more trees, they will be affected too. And so on. As a result, if you use an axe of the stream in the twilight forest, you might be hitting half a biome full of 100+ meter tall trees. Instant server death with a single mouseclick.
Considering the huge amount of wood it will completely destroy a metal Lumber axe. And it is not an exploit, since, as I said, it requires a huge amount of durability.
Oh yeah definitely. Flipz almost crashed both of our clients and the server when accidentally shift punching a Twilight Oak with his MPS power thingy (Treecap was installed), everything froze for a short burst of time, and thankfully it all came back. I looked back to see what had happened and saw mountains of wood falling from the sky.
In Ars Magica 2, is there a way to obtain non-blue skill points other than getting extremely lucky with worldgen loot or grinding bosses? I put all my points into Utility and Defense spells and can't exactly go toe-to-toe with a boss. :/
Also, is there a list somewhere of which boss drops what infinity orb and what difficulty each one is?

I don't agree. Main thing I like is leaf decay, neither of those offer immediate leaf decay
Actually, the axe of the stream does! It's a new thing
Well, it's not exactly immediate, but it is hugely accelerated.Actually, the axe of the stream does! It's a new thing
Personally, I would disable Treecapitator in any mod pack that I use for SSP. If the rest of the pack is good enough to make that small step worthwhile (as compared to another pack that didn't need that step), then I would consider doing it. VeinMiner looks a bit similar, but really, is it worth adding a mod for the tiny amount of effort that it saves?
The problem that I face when looking at a big mod list is, I don't exactly know all the mods that I use. For instance, I have no idea what mod adds the clipboard (ok, I do now, I just looked it up - and I see you don't have DartCraft, but I can live without it). So I might start using the pack, and then find that something that I love and would miss terribly isn't in it. Has anyone spotted any obvious omissions that I might not have?
Once you get somewhere around magic level 25 or so, you start gaining green skill points instead of blue ones. I'm pretty sure there's another point where you start gaining red skill points. Also, /respec.
I know the Arcane Compendium lists the bosses, and most of them have a minimum recommended magic level associated with them, but not which orb they drop.
