Me: I changed my mod pack!

Anyway. So, yeah. Changed my pack. Again. List is in the spoiler! Running quasi-comfortably on 4 gigs.
Thaumcraft may not stay. It depends. If that's causing the chunk boundaries (it shouldn't be) it'll have to go.

Can I just ask why? What did you miss / dislike? Also, I miss astral sorcery from your list!

Monarch_of_Gold · Feb 12, 2019

I was spending too much time plundering roguelike and lost cities and not doing anything else. Also felt like for "rare" cities Lost Cities was taking over too much of my world (and possibly causing chunk problems). I also never really got into Astral Sorcery (I'm bad about putting mods in and never touching them). If I notice I'm not getting into a mod like I should or a mod is taking all of my attention, I'll take it out.

Monarch_of_Gold · Feb 12, 2019

So, I, er... broke it. I don't know how this is even possible, but after I removed the cooking mods I had in, things got weird. When I load up the game, the camera that normally slowly sweeps around the sample world in the background wound up spinning like a top from top to bottom, getting faster. When I loaded a save, any time a movement key was pressed, the camera would just absolutely spazz out and do angles that aren't normally possible. So, I don't know what I did, but I have to build a whole new pack from scratch because I don't know what's causing this. Wooooooo..... = =

I mean I oculd give you mine, but idk how much ram you want it to take

Also the only config I've done so far is ore generation.

Monarch_of_Gold · Feb 13, 2019

Not to mention most computers I've had balk at the idea of going over 4. 5 can sometimes be managed, but not always. Usually 5 is handled less efficiently for some reason (hits red on 5 when 4 doesn't have any problems).

Monarch_of_Gold · Feb 14, 2019

The problem is persisting with a new modpack. I think I'll have to clean out my .minecraft folder and start fresh on everything. *sigh*

5argan · Feb 14, 2019

I googled for a second and this is what I found: https://www.reddit.com/r/feedthebeast/comments/3ptxx5/camera_refuses_to_stop_being_a_spaz/cw9jbwo
Some other people found it to be due to BetterFPS or a setting of it, and another person used F12 to change the renderer and it helped them.
Another person said it stopped when they disabled view bobbing. Might be worth to try these.

Monarch_of_Gold · Feb 14, 2019

BetterFPS makes sense to me. I loaded vanilla and didn't have any problems. I'll take it out and see if that fixes it.

Edit because I never came back to update on this: yes, removing Better FPS fixed the problem. I installed FoamFix instead.

@The Mobius Archives has inspired me to make another modified R2R attempt. I've been using the Enigmatica 2 Expert modpack. Having vein-miner has made the process of gathering resources a lot less tedious in the earlier stages. I've just entered the Stone stage and have built our town's first walls around the town center.

The Mobius Archives · Mar 5, 2019

Whew! I should probably get these updates going and check back in every so often. @Thes33 how are you finding Enigmatica 2 Expert for the challenge? I've thought about trying to switch over to a different pack and that seemed like it might have a few themes that would work with the challenge, especially the gating.

As for my own challenge:

Making a better place to sleep:

Adding a planning Hall

From this point I moved over to starting our Agricultural School outlier

Setting up the chicken coop. This will be where most of our resources come from in the near term.

Thes33 · Mar 8, 2019

@The Mobius Archives, The Enigmatica 2 Expert pack is great. It was particularly difficult with food at the beginning, because I had trouble dealing with lack of Dairy nutrition, which is unfortunately gated behind having access to iron buckets. Eventually, the Mining Fatigue de-buff got so annoying, that I went ahead and made a bucket to get milk.

Otherwise, the pack has plenty of great items and fun gear to keep me interested. Of course, I added Custom NPCs, otherwise the world seems a little too quiet.
I've just started the Iron stage and the village continues to grow.

Here's a view of the military fortress and my personal manor (including a thaumcraft tower).

Here's a view of the temple district, including three temples and the monastery that doubles as a hospital.

Here's a view of the town, the wall had to be expanded a bit to add a few more buildings. The rest of the buildings for the Iron stage will be outside the walls, and a new wall will likely be built around the expansion.

Here's a view of the southern side of the village, showing the mining district in the foreground. The agricultural district expands to the left.

And, finally, another view of the manor house and the military fortress on the north end of the village.

Also, here's a view of the map to see the village spread out.

Now that I'm working on the Agricultural school I decided to get a working classroom template:

Most of the classrooms in this school will be based around the same room template.

Of course, this was all around Christmas last year!

So I was playing around with getting a fireworks factory setup for the New Year.

Chickens were a key supplier for the fireworks components.

That brings us to making an Arborist classroom and playing with the Stone Hamlet acceptable parts of the Bonsai mod

Whew. I'll try to get these out more regularly. I have a lot of updates to catch up on.

Hi all,

I have finally come back to doing this after a long time away, last time I was looking at building my own pack with everything I could find, never got it working overly well unfortunately.... Anyway, I am now using the FTB revelations modpack, much like Mr. Mobius, with many added mods, a lot similar and a few different also.

I have recently reached the Wooden Settlement stage and am trying to work out what I want and need to build for my thriving village, so much to do...

I plan on streaming my progress occasionally, you can find my link in the spoiler below:

https://www.twitch.tv/wicked9090 Next stream will be approximately 7:30pm ACST - 3am PT - 11am CET

Hope all of your challenges are going well!!

Senseidragon · Jul 15, 2019

*yawn*

Hi guys! What did I miss?

The Mobius Archives · Jul 21, 2019

Oh @Senseidragon, not much.

I'm still plugging away at the challenge and just wrapped up the agricultural outlier:

Stables Classroom

Farming Classroom

Trying Binnie's Botany

Working on the Administration house

... And about 30 more episodes!

Continuing the Admin house

And that brings us to today where I'm working at fixing my Minecraft install again. I get back to home and the sound drops out!

Senseidragon · Jul 23, 2019

@The Mobius Archives, I started looking into your "the Third" pack, that's the latest one, correct? I don't think I saw a list anywhere of what mods you added/removed/updated from the general Revelations release. I kinda figured Custom NPCs would make the cut, but I can't really tell without deep-diving what else you changed? I'm getting the itch to try again, and I'd rather not have to sort through all the mods out there all over again if you already found some good ones.

The Mobius Archives · Jul 24, 2019

@Senseidragon Funny enough I started thinking about updating my list this morning. The big little one I wish I had during the Wooden Settlement phase is Astikorcarts. All the recipes require wood, and it makes having a horse just a little more convenient.

The rest of the list I'll go and collect for ya.

Senseidragon · Jul 26, 2019

I think I remember that one from SevTech: Ages. It looked pretty cool, though I admit I didn't finish the pack. I got frazzled with it shortly after having to trek to the darklands to get some funky wood and then lost my way back to my original campsite. I was a little miffed.

The Mobius Archives · Jul 30, 2019

So now that I'm back at my Stone Hamlet I did discover that the Silent Gems mods give more than just glowing flowers to keep the night terrors away.

That and I compiled my mod list for perusal. This is on top of FTB revelations.

Thanks for the list, @The Mobius Archives! There are a few on there I absolutely don't recognize, so I've got some reading to do!

[CHALLENGE] (v4.3-ish 6/7/18) Refugee to Regent Kingdom Building Challenge

What do you think of the Serf to Supreme Challenge?

City Construction Challenge was better!

It's okay, but there's definitely room for improvement

Give me my Electrics sooner!

I enjoy the slow introduction of mods.

I wish Element Animation would hurry up with the next episode.

I love it!
