RFTools - Support and Suggestions

[McJty]

I have a request for everyone. In the next version of RFTools I would like to rebalance all/most dimlets for materials and liquids. To help with this it would be nice if you could provide me with the output of the /rftdim dumprarity command. I would like to cover as many mods as possible. Thanks

I'll fire up my pack tonight and let you know the results. It's got quite a large selection (MFR, Thermal Mods, GalacticCraft, Tinkers, Mekanism)

Will fire up my pack and provide both a mod dump and dimlet dump for you.

Quick note to point out: Enable logging in the RFTools config file. Took me several tries before figuring it out.

I'll have a copy up in my DropBox as soon as I can secure a connection.

Hmm. If you do /rftdim dumprarity doesn't it show otherwise?

 

[Lethosos]

Not by default. At least it shows up in the logger, which is where it counts.

Anyways, here's a trimmed down excerpt from the logger.

I know I have Thaumcraft 4, Tinker's Construct, Thermal Expansion (all components), Metallurgy 4 (temporary with Fantasy Metals off, messes up UBC bad due to UBCoreregistar,) Extra TiCo, Tinker's Steelworks, Flaxbeard's Steam power, Blood Magic, and Botanica offhand. I tried to get Foundry in, but it's still too new and doesn't add anything new.

Something you might want to add to the parser just to make it easier: If "Molten" is part of the list (eg "Molten Cobalt" for example,) then trim off the word "Liquid". I see a lot of "Liquid Molten <metal>" in there.

Also, when weighing Metallurgy, use the same weights for both Nether and Fantasy metals. They have the same ratio by default.

I get an error when trying to download that file. Can you put it on pastebin or so? Thanks!

 

[Lethosos]

Meh, sure. Dropbox is being a right blue-footed booby ATM. Refuses to do anything with RTF files for some reason. And any TXT files, too.

Thanks! I will use this soon.

 

[Lethosos]

No problem. I suggest doing a bit of research and weight heavier with liquids that have negative effect/no purpose. Like Molten Blood or Liquid Death. (Or Flux Goo, heh.)

In the future, you can compress multi-colored selections (such as glass and stained clay) into a single "Rainbow" material using the plain block as a foundation and adding big streaks of a color using fractal patterns.

Molten Blood

It can be used if you've got ExtraTiC installed

 

[Lethosos]

Point. I just like the idea that there's no water to drink when you have Enviromine installed... >)

Soon I'll release 2.60. You can now download and test a preview release. Carefully read the changelog and MAKE A BACKUP! Loading your world with this version of RFTools will make it incompatible with previous versions! You are warned!

Changelog: https://github.com/McJty/RFTools/wiki/RFTools-Changelog
Prerelease: https://drone.io/github.com/McJty/RFTools/files

Testing is appreciated. Many big changes in this version.

A suggestion coming from Reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/feedthebeast/comments/2ywrfg/rf_tools_my_shield_is_defective/
How about the shield blocks deflecting weather?

Ah, that's surprising that it lets through rain. I'll have to see what I can do about that.

It depends on isSolid() of the block material

RFTools Volcanoes (already in 2.60 but in 2.61 they will be improved and look like on this video):

 

[Lethosos]

Put a bit more variation in it--I'd like to see taller volcanic variations, perhaps cauldera and vented varieties. Even sneak in basalt from other mods and obsidian.

I have an interesting idea for dimlets. The 'grammer' nature of them forms a kind of nesting structure, where for example a material none modifies a terrain, etc. Might be cool if you could open a dimlet (GUI interface) and have slots where you put put dimlets, so a material none dimlet would fit in a special slot inside a terrain dimlet, and only appropriate dimlets would fit that slot. I think this would be a lot more intuitive to players how the whole grammer thing works.

Yes, this has been suggested before. However, that's a rather big change so not sure if I will get around to that soon.
