[MPS] How does this even happen?!

[Cirom]

I have somehow managed to DAMAGE my Modular Powersuit Helmet. I have no idea how this happened - the last thing I did before I noticed the helm was damaged was fight a few bosses in the Twilight Forest: The Boss Minotaur, the Twilight Lich (twice) and Ur-ghast.

Also, I'm running FTB Unleashed v1.0.3, as v1.1.x is currently too glitchy for my tastes. (Funny how a beta version's less glitchy, eh?)

Maybe it's another of those stupid nerfs that over time and extreme usage could leads to damaging the armor and having to eventually replace it.

 

[TangentialThreat]

Nah, this sort of thing has happened before. Mazestone used to be murder on Vajras.

 

[RedBoss]

I completely lost my mps helm after fighting an Ur-Ghast. The Twilight Forest is probably the one mod that kinda makes the "god mode" tools and armor have a full jimmy rustle.

I've also lost a drill while mining maze stone. It magically re-appeared about 5 minutes later. Just be careful out there and don't trust too much in that fancy tech stuff when you step into that dimension.

Ur-Ghast normally destroys your helmet, the MPS helmet must have more durability than the Ur-Ghast causes.

To be fair, I was dodging his attacks a lot. While I can tank a lot of hits, it's just more fun to.. NOT get hit.

This is why I don't wear armor. Except skeleton aimbots. Bleh.

Skeletons? Carry around 2 blocks instant cover.

But all of the two block pillars that I would have to take down :C

That is the best solution I've heard though, I'll try it.

Our server has Infernal mobs, and some players have lost their MPS gear to the Rust ability, which damages equipment. No doubt some of these special encounters in Twilight Forest do the same.

I normally have dirt or cobble on me while exploring and have no issues leaving letting 2 block way markers all over the place.

That must have been what happened to my power armor: it was damaged but not significantly and I could never find out why. Must have run into an infernal with that Rust ability a while back and killed him before he did any significant damage. All this time I just chocked it up to some weird bug with the powersuits.

I WAS WONDERING! omg... after TF I took damage to the helm.. and didn't know why... can this be repaired any? like another helm (without upgrades) into an anvil with the current?

 

[Noby07]

I wonder if you could, something like this "rust" ability is really unfinished in my opinion. I would implement when having better ideas with it.

meh, it wouldn't work to well because of the stupid vanilla repair system.
and people would just uninstall the modules and reinstall them on a new suit, which is pretty tedious

 

[Noby07]

But there is still a chance, that the items get lost. Capacitors get destroyed 100 Percent when trying to uninstall the modules. Wich still stinks but is a bit more balanced and realistic.

 

[KingTriaxx]

Fortunately, Capacitors are cheap.

 

[BanzaiBlitz]

Call it incentive to get your AE system to a point you can auto-craft all modules and parts in MPS. At that point, it might even be worthwhile to build a full spare.

Just discovered that yes you can repair your MPS helmet, Twilight Forest taketh away and Twilight Forest giveth, the Uncrafting Table allows for MPS repair

 

[KingTriaxx]

Awesome. Does it keep all the modules?
