Haven't been able to find much documentation on The Last Millennium from Extra Utilities, but I decided to build my void base there anyway. I set up a beautiful AE2 network, multiple ludicrite turbines, and of course, a Tier 7 Energy Storage Multiblock (among many other setups and plenty of aesthetic work) before deciding to move into some more 'natural' mods.

Silly me. Now that I'm here and well set up, I've realized that there's no daytime here. There still seems to be a day/night cycle, but there's no sun to let me breed bees, grow grass naturally, or anything else.

Is there a way to bring the sun back into this equation without admitting defeat, tearing everything down, and writing a Mystcraft void age? I was playing on an Infinity server recently, and a player was showing off his "artificial sun" to others. I never checked it out, so I don't know if it was for real. I can't find anything with google, but i thought I'd crowdsource this one...

Help me save my base and get some sun (artificial is just fine) into The Last Millennium.


Thanks!

It's permanent midnight not just no sun, check on a clock. So unless you can get the day/night cycle to start running bees definitely won't work. Grass just needs any light AFAIK.

Could always just get a nocturnal serum from gendustry and put it on all your bees before working with them. They also will never stop production this way as it's always night. Turn a disadvantage into an advantage.

After doing research on it, anxious to try on my own game, it seems that the void world also shares itself with other players. That is to say if every player builds a portal they all show up at the same platform.... Interesting. Would be a great place for a HUB lol. I'm not sure if that's true but hey I'm looking forward to it and looking forward to more documentation on it. Please let us know if you run into any issues.

If I remember correctly there is an upgrade for Gendustry that allows your bees to work during the night.

Industrial Apiaries with Light Upgrades from Gendustry definitely work, but I'm still trying to find a way to bring a day/night cycle into this. It's not just about the bees. It's about all things nature. I tried the Sun Dial from Draconic Evolution, and it revealed a hint at what's going on. It seems as though time still moves here, but it's constantly reset at about "10pm"

I won't lie, I cracked open the lid of Extra Utilities to see if I could change anything, but nothing really stood out. I've pretty much halted my building until I can either solve this or until I break down and move. Hopefully not that latter-- There's probably 20-30 hours of building here that would all have to be broken down AND reset... That's a lot of time...
