And that's why I want to wait, I don't just want to start all over again.Shurg. Reset have never bothered me having delt with many world killing updates over the life of vanilla the idea that anything is perminet has long be lost to me.
Here is my issue with updated worlds. If someone is removed or changed enought you end up with isues were stuff is just missing either as in you have gaps in the world or just never generatored in your area. On a server where mulitple people have been running around anything added to world gen means traveling thandsands of blocks away looking for new chunks to find them. the simple addtion of 1 ore to a pre-existing world can mean hours or work just to find a place to collect it. Worse yet the removal of a block can completely break builds as parts of them just vanish into smoke and becuase of how things get removed they can create these sort of update traps where they have liquids hangin in mid air until a update happens and then a massive lag as you have this update cascade.
All in all small updates are not the issue its the big major ones that cause all the problems with worlds and more so with servers.
And that's why I want to wait, I don't just want to start all over again.
And in this case, ores are such a small issue with the update, nether quartz? Besides having no non-aestitic uses, the nether doesn't have anyone's bases in it (maybe a lava pump or two), so you can't lose tons of work.
But I just want to not do early game yet again. I have made too many early game setups than I care to share with you all. I played vanilla for a year and a half. And I have gone through less resets than my few months with FTB. I think I went through 5 or 6 worlds in vanilla...but it was over a long period of time and end game wasn't very hard to get to.The longer you wait to reset a server and update it the more stuff you have to make you not want to update the server and reset it.
I think this might be the first time I've liked one of your posts.With resources coming out of my butt,
5-8Against: I don't want to lose my 10 minutes of work!
Heh, you got it?I think this might be the first time I've liked one of your posts.
But RP2? When all the mods get updated they'll be a huge update, with the 1.5-rp2 and the 1.5+rp2. And we all know exactly how big RP2 is in our worlds...I can assure you all, that with the number of major updates that happened all at once, and recently at that, it will likely be a long, long time until another restart is required.
But I just want to not do early game yet again.
Wait, so no matter what he's going to update to that non-rp2 1.5.x pack?You do relize Jerome is not offering to not update only to not reset.
So even not restarting there is a fair chance of issues with your build more so if RP2 is being dropped and you did anything with that.
Wait, so no matter what he's going to update to that non-rp2 1.5.x pack?
Well, that's a lose-lose! When RP2 is back, restarts will be necessary...
Well, it's a lose-lose, or a lose-lose-lose.
And now you understand why I say it will cause issues to keep the world.
EDIT: And as much as I love RP2 if we update to non RP2 FTB I would suggest we stay non RP2 for that same reason adding it back would be problematic.
would it be possible to keep the world if we wait for rp2?
