I Derp, You Derp, We all Derp, What's your's?
- Thread starter SReject
- Start date
If you pause, the log file reads "saving chunks" and all that; after those messages stop, it should be (relatively) safe to make a temporary backup, especially before you do something like jump into a random Mystcraft age. Plus, when you quit playing for a session, you can do a proper backup.
"Oh hey, look... bound tools. Nifty! So this pick thing... geez, it really runs through things. Okay, we're on a ledge here, so we sneak and... whaaaaaaaaaaaa..."
I thread minecraft the same way as any rogue-like: save scumming. Backup the game/world before you start playing. Worst case: maybe lost a few hours but gained new insights.
Edit: scrumming to scumming, thanks for the fix

Yeah that's no fun.
If you don't risk nuclear armageddon each time you pick up a wrench, there's no excitement

Right clicking is Beast Mode, which is useful for clearing large amounts of land, or trolling people, which ever comes first. Other than that, it's a normal pick.
For save scumming in Minecraft:
The world chunks are saved out very frequently (every 30 seconds, by default, I think). The other support files -- ranging from various mod status files to player.dat inventory contents -- are saved at much lower rates. Your player data is only saved when you quit, or when the /save-all command is issued, as far as I can tell.
There is a reason the Minecrack script does /save-off, to disable inconsistent states, followed by /save-all, to get as close to a single-consistent state as possible (*), then a copy/backup, then the /save-on to resume inconsistent but continual saving of chunks.
(*): The question is, if things are altered during the save-to-disk process, does what is out on disk represent the snapshot of how thing were at the start, or does it catch the changes with potential dups/lost things? I highly doubt that Notch wrote state snapshoting, and I don't think it's been high priority for Jeb to fix.

Had a bit of a dabble with the newest version of galacticraft.
Built all the usual stuff, set up my oxygen gear and parachute, got a spare fuel loader, battery, fuel can and launchpad in my inventory, hopped aboard and sent myself into space.
I was really quite diligent in making sure I had all the accessories I could need to set myself up for the return journey.
Then I clicked the send to dimension button and began my descent to the moon, I made sure to slow myself all the way down to avoid a crash...
...
a few minutes pass, no sign of the moon's surface approaches
...
game crashes. Balls.
Log back in to a nice little crater on the moon and a complete lack of my inventory.
Fucking stupid mod, I don't know why I bothered ^_^

Discovered that the IC2 Nuclear Reactor makes a very big hole in the ground. ._.

Not me, not yet... I'd rather make a Big Reactor first, then I can go crazy with other types.
Derp: forgot to watch the minimap on three separate occasions -
1. Died to a GoG2 naga.
2. Died to a (totally random) GoG2 Anubis on my way back to get my grave.
3. Died to a GoG2 Yeti.
Needless to say, I am now keeping a very sharp eye on my surroundings.

My fight with the Arcane Guardian turned into an hide and seek game due to his teleport ability. I spent at least 30-60 minutes going outside my cave base to scan the area, using the unstable ingot block/x-ray machine to find any hidden caves, looking around my base-passing my infusion room time and time again- and in my mob grinder for any signs of him- all while having the annoying boss status randomly popping up to confuse me. I gave up and summoned another Arcane Guardian which I promptly killed in ~10 seconds with the TC rapier + haste II effect + my pure hate/rage.
After that I discovered something interesting in my infusion room (that I was totally oblivious to)... Which was next to the boss spawn room I had set up
The hide and seek game then turned into an battle in the infusion room... I won.

I was wondering why Minecraft was running out of memory, and I found I only allocated one gigabyte of RAM. (Now it's 3.75)
Technically it's possible to find the Bane of Pigs or Infiminer. Both deal maximum damage. And the Gravel Gun from RoC does like 250.
