Getting started in Magic Farm 2

[Marconos]

I do have a weird problem with my 100% leveled pickaxe. It has 2 modifiers assigned and 2 open .... but when I try to upgrade the fortune on it it doesn't work. It used to have fortune on it twice, neither leveled up to 450. I also had a shovel that was at 128% of level still going up but wouldn't level. Something happened and it's working again now.

Enjoying the pack all in all. For the start I have found the following works very well for me.

1. Kill 3 sheep and make a bed, this is what determines success or failure for me.
2. Wander the world looking for a place with gravel, sand and clay.
3. Pick berries TONS of berries, not to mention rhubarb and Rutabegas
4. Gather any of those Natura berry bushes you find (those things are OP in this pack as you'll see for food)
5. Once you find your "base" area get now you make your 1st tools (none before this, just dig up some flint in that gravel).
6. Plant those berry bushes you gathered and get mats for your smeltry, copper and aluminum.
7. Get some stone, make a furnance and cook 3 piece of cobble.
8. Make a juicer for your berries. (It doubles there food output).
9. Make juice from your berries, the growth rate and regen rate on the berry bushes will be enough to feed you 100% in about 10 in game days. Until then you are foraging.
10. You have food now, smeltrey going, rest is cake. Berries make it easy (so if you are like me and want the challenge, don't use 'em ... MUCH harder).

Yeah I have had a few oddball reports like that. Hoping @IguanaMan might know more about it.

Nope. None of the vanilla picks can mine much of anything. Which funnily enough almost makes the turtles balanced in MF.

So to "fix" that, I guess I should change the pickaxeoverrides setting on item 278 to something higher than 1. *Edit* Yeah, that worked, I set it to 5. I know this isn't in keeping with the MF design aesthetic but I do like my turtles.

I "think" I have figured out a pattern with the weird enchants on the leveled up items. It appears that the ones that you add to the item have issues when the tool upgrades. If you add fortune to a pick, it then levels up and gets a bonus enchant of fortune you then have two of them, it doesn't advance the level to fortune 2. As well when you add an enchant one of the fortunes will "disappear".

Now with my current pick I see the enchants that were bonus added and the ones that I added to the pick are no longer visible through the table, though the effects still stay on the pick. I was event able to upgrade the fortune on the pick that wasn't visible. Maybe that information helps with figuring out the issue.

I have never been able to modify a tool. All modifiers are automatically assigned every time a tool levels . If I want Silk Touch, I will just have to keep making and levelling tools until I get it. Unless, maybe Thaumium has spare modifiers? Or are those removed my Iguana?

 

[PhilHibbs]

Since I cannot modify TiCo tools, is there any other way to get Silk Touch?

Something odd is occuring there. I have been playing for the last 3 days, I have leveled 3 hammers, 3 picks 1 excavator and a lumber axe and added modifiers to each of them when a modifier slot opened trough leveling.I haven't had any issues aside from the odd "it lists each level of haste/luck seperatly."

 

[Marconos]

The modifiers that appear twice. When I get that one of them disappears when I try to upgrade it or the tool levels again. Not always but generally that happens.

I found this graveyard, and i took a lot of the things from the graves, and now i want to go inside the building. when i started in the first time, it became nighttime, and everything went bad. what should i expect in it, and what should i bring? i have a diamond sword and bodyarmur, from a dungeon and a boss. i reasearched it, and it said that the hardest wither boss wass in it.

 

[HeffronCM]

You will find a Wither in there.

Lots of hidden spawners. Potion/Deadfall traps, etc. Personally I treat it as a CTM map dungeon and slowly clear one room at a time.

I've got myself set up nicely, plenty of farms, some Thermal Expansion infrastructure, but I miss automatic mining. I've added ComputerCraft and MiscPeripherals, but mining turtles are badly nerfed, they can't mine redstone or obsidian or diamonds. What can I do to enable that? I've looked through the IguanaTweaks config but I can't see anything obvious.

I actually like the lack of automatic mining in MagicFarm2. I mean, it's supposed to be Magic...and Farmy. For that to happen, Tech and Industrialization should take a backseat.

As for automatic resources, there's always the MFR laser and bees, and for automation in general, there's itemducts, golems, and AE.

thanks thaile4ever. mine has a few of the rooms exposed through a river and a cave system. where will all of the chests be if any, and should i expect mobs in the same room? how many room should there be?

I discovered one of these recently.

It's very much a Vechs hostile map, in miniature. Great loot to be found, but also a wither. Be very careful around lava, keep particles on to find hidden spawners. You'll need a good supply of gear and tonnes of food. It's actually surprisingly massive. Took me a good couple of hours to clear it.

I filled two of the best strongboxes with loot. Chests are everywhere, and so are tonnes of monsters.

If you find you run out of weapons, dig up the sword graves for armor and tools. There's iron, chainmail and diamond ones scattered around.

If you see a creeper statue, look up. There'll be an emerald or diamond block.

Enabled all Biomes in BoP, Added Ars magicka 2, Better Villages, Taumic Exploration and I almost got Aether 2 to work, but I'm having a blast xD

If you do add Ars magicka 2, or even get lucky with a spawn in any forest or plains or mountains, you're going to be able to do a LOT of foraging, very easily. My advice: Turn on all of the BoP Biomes. If you're unlucky, you end up in a wasteland surrounded with a volcano. If you get lucky, you'll be in a Magic Forest/Mystic Grove/ Witchwood forest, with more than enough wood than you'd ever need.

Another good tip, Mattock. just asap, until you can gather the materials to create a Hoe of Growth. Made one out of Stone, works rather well.

No major complaints, except just not really having room to store everything, and I find that's because I'm too lazy to gather a lot more spare wood, even though I know I'll need it xD

Made a mattock out of stone? You shouldn't be able to make anything out of stone. You must've messed up IguanaTweaks or something, because that shoudn't be possible.

I'm having a feeling he mixed up MagicFarm with MagicWorld

Yes, I turned IguanaTweaks off >.>

After having multiple issues with multiple different mods, I turned it off. I left allof the other mods active, of course, but after several game breaking issues with MF1, I automatically turned it off in MF2

It works great in MF2 and adds quite a lot to the game, you should really try it (only thing not leveling properly is the chisel).

You're not really playing magic farm at that point... Especially with iguana turned off.
