Direwolf20 1.7.10 Help, Venting and Discussion Thread

[zemerick]

Can it be that mystcraft is bugged? no matter what i do i always get unstable ages.... even tried copying a cheat sheat http://i.imgur.com/JjokY4u.png and still always unstable x.x i just want a desert single biome miningworld :<

Cheat sheets are almost guaranteed to not work as they probably haven't been updated. A number of things have changed ( such as bright lighting now adds instability ), so people are needing to relearn how to make stable ages.

People have reported stable random worlds, so it should be possible.

You might want to keep an eye on the mystcraft forums: http://binarymage.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=9

Just a quick question, what issues could I face if I decide to remove IC2, Pneumatic Craft, MPS, and Witchery from an existing world? They are mods that I just don't play with so I don't see much point in keeping them in the pack.

Has anyone had any luck crafting Unstable Ingots? I went through the activation ritual for my Division Sigil, but I can't get the crafting recipe to work...

nvm... apparently the "Natura" crafting table doesn't count.. had to go vanilla

 

[ZeSapper]

Another question, after playing for 20-30 mins I start getting massive lag spikes. I go to restart the client as I normally do but when I exit Minecraft my FTB launcher will be black. I have to go into the task manager and end the two javaw.exe processes that are both using upwards of 3,000,000k of memory. This has just started today and I have no idea why. Any advice?

Yes only Vanilla tables work well.. I would personally use the 1 diamond 1 gold nugget to make a stable nugget. sure it costs 9 diamonds per ingot but it's totally safe.

Any world gen blocks added by those mods will be replaced with air blocks.

Be sure to remove any IC2 add on mods as well or the game will crash at startup.

Re: lag spikes--Journeymap seems to be the culprit. Disable it (you can replace it with Opis) & see if that helps.

The pseudo inversion sigil makes stable unstable ingots, but the ritual to get it is...complicated.

The drops for thaumic tinkerer ender shards are either EXTREMELY low or being overwritten by a mod (ender io, maybe). I killed around 300 endermen, got over 1k pearls, a stack or so of endermen heads from ender io and just ONE ender shard. In comparison, I killed less than a 100 zombie pigmen and got around 30 nether shards. I'm currently using an elementium sword with max enchantments (made in osmotic enchanter).

Is there a way to fix the drops for ender shards?

And downgrade your java to 8_11. Forge doesnt work correctly with 8_25

I had the same thing, you just need to sit through it, its something genning in the world i think.

I know atleast 3 people myself included that dont have a problem with j8r25

Cheapest form of Automated Ore Doubling is two smelteries, a Steve Factory Manager, liquid transfer nodes on the drains, Item transfer nodes on the casting tables.

I have an automated ore doubling system capable of processing some 36+ blocks per smeltery each. Granted it's really difficult to collect the first few pieces but a world interaction Upgrade + Item Transder Node = Enough Cobble stone to get all the seared stone/Bricks that I need

Yes, but he seems to be having some trouble, and since there are at least 3 people who have reported problems with anything past j8u11... I think the suggestion for him to not run j8u25 is valid. He should go here and download version 11 Runtime Environment and try it.

FYI, the Forge incompatibility with j8 and 1.7.10 has been resolved, all we need is for FTB to update the Direwolf20 modpack to include the latest Forge version, then we can all run the latest java version and not have this potential security risk. Please update the modpack ASAP!

You can also use a normal division sigil, it might be an option in the configs. You just have to use a gold nugget instead of an iron ingot. BAsically cost vs danger. 9 diamonds and 9 nuggets to make 1 stable unstable ingot.

Are you doing your enderman killing in the end? Thats the only place you can get the shards.

Lag starting 30 minutes in is usually the result of Aroma backup doing its backup thing and inadvertently mucking things up. You might want to try disabling it.

yes

 

[epidemia78]

yes

Well it could be just a string of really bad luck. The drop rate is extremely low and fortune levels do not help. Last time I looked for any, I almost decided to build an enderman trap but thats when I finally got one. Just fly really far out into the void and build a platform that has a two high ceiling, with a walled in section 3 high where the endermen will spawn.

So I'm having a hard time running it. Can I use this thread to troubleshoot? Anyways, It loads slowly but I can get to the title screen just fine, but then things go wrong when I try to make a world. I get stuck on the building world for a while. Then it does that thing where it goes to the title screen for a few seconds before going to the loading background again, but then it says it's "shutting down the internal server" or something along those lines. I made sure my normal mine craft was running on 1.7.10 and that it was the last on I used, too.

My computer stats are:
Mac OS X 10.8.5
Memory: 4gb 1067 MHz DDR3
Processor: 2.53 GHz intel core i5

Can I even run it? Is there something I should do?

I would say the memory is your sticking point. I don't know how much ram OSX eats up while running but you need 2 or 3 Gig of ram to run DW20 I would say 3 to be on the safe side.
