So whats your favourite Mystcraft age types?

[Celestialphoenix]

Skylands+cave world (This took about 10 attempts before a stable age)

Cave diving! Go!

[red fog, black sky, eternal night, dark lighting with crystals, caves and ravines]

Glacial skylands
I want to build some giant monstrosity with infernal brick, obsidian and basalt- bridges everywhere between factory units

[white sky, whitex10+bluex1 fog, white sunset and clouds, bright lights, no other features]

But for now this is my homeworld;

[Extreme jungle, redwood, meadow, savannah, river and oceanx4, medium biomes, eternal night with black sky and blue fog with blue/black clouds.]

I haven't actually played with making many Mystcraft ages in my current world as I've been busy strip mining one and building my resources

However, I'm rather partial to Voids and Skylands+Caves. I often use Reds and Blacks. I do need to try some extra biomes stuff though. Oh, I also often add glowstone crystals and obelisks.

Oh, and I definitely agree with your Glacial Skylands Some massive mechanical age/Gahreesan machinery would look fantastic there!

 

[warfighter67]

Glacial Skylands look AMAZING!

I want to build a giant castle/town/city there!!

 

[Celestialphoenix]

Actually one thing I want to try is turning off the instability and spamming dense ores and ravines/caves just to have a glass floor in my basement.
(I wont be mining said dense ores- it kinda feels like cheating)

Edit; so after hitting dense ores 30 times I'm not overly sold on it, but I guess some people might like ridiculousness ... and holy EXP Batman!!

Oh, I almost forgot. Dark Red skies with rain looks amazing Add in some thunderstorm and a couple charged, and you have a very intimidating Age.

Still trying to figure out what I like in ages (I'm very indecisive). But for now, this is my home age:

White fog, white clouds, huge biomes, 2x ice plains and ice mountains, slow time, and normal weather. If it was day the sky is normal (light blue)

Favorite mystcraft world for what purpose?

Single biome: mushroom island
Flat
Wood tendrils, glowstone crystals, crystals (when I get them)
Bright
eternal day
No weather
Normal time
Any sky, sunset, fog.

All the steak, leather, wood, glowstone and crystals you could ever need.
If you feel the need to mine manually, it is easily done with no need for torches or worrying about mobs annoying you.

Change the biome to plains for chickens or other passives and throw in villages for villagers.

Want bees. Change biome size to tiny and add in plains, jungles, swamp, taiga, desert and forests.
Keep it flat, bright and eternal day and you can do all the bees in one small area.
Throw a quarry in that one and let it gather resources while you tend ur bees.

But "Bright" should only affect the visual light level, not the spawning of mobs.

Holy crap ..... drools!!!

But Mobs don't spawn in a mushroom biome.

 

[Jerx99]

But Mobs don't spawn in a mushroom biome.

Oh. Awesome.

I have a handful of Respiration/Aqua Affinity helmets (zombie spawner+ender farm). I enjoy using them to go caving in the waters of cave worlds. I'd be much much happier if the caves would get below the Y25ish level, but as of yet they don't seem to get that low. Generally Y30 is the lowest they seem to go. Still great fun, to zip from pocket to pocket with ender pearls.

I downloaded the addon (still in Alpha) that adds different types of worlds and objects, such as water and lava tendrils, Glass Sphere worlds and more. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ucakkne23sj91h9/tOrlXS9wRE

Then, I included a mod by AtomicStryker called Ruins that will generate ruins in biomes, which really works well with Mystcraft. Makes you feel you've encountered other "people".

My favorite find was this world that was a forest, covered in snow, dark skies, lightening strikes setting fire to trees, nearby was this tree fort structure with a hot air balloon next to it, and in the distance, an ice encrusted tree. These extra items really add a sense of a "story" behind the ages you could find.
Plus, many of these larger structures are also trapped, which is nice

So far my favorite age I've made is a completely mushroom biom flate purple skyed bright age with thunderstorms. I basically made myself a age for tunneling no caves nothing under ground but what I dig out.

I also made the age charged and I have no idea what that even did.

 

[zemerick]

Charged causes lightning, even in sunshine. I think it also adds instability, so you might want to check for that.

I've spent a few days in this age and haven't noticed anything although I've spent all my time tunneling.

I like the sound of this I may try it sometime.

My favorite has to be:

Mushroom Biome/Forest
Hills or Skylands
Glowstone Crystals or Crystals
Bright
Eternal Twilight
Charged or Eternal Storm, but never both.

The rest of the symbols I don't overly care about, as long as it doesn't become unstable. According to the mod post, accelerated time, along with glowstone crystals, crystals, villages, strongholds, obelisks, mineshafts, wood tendrils, and dungeons can add to instability. Charged, explosions, and meteors supposedly add to stability, but I'm not sure if that's random person trolling or... mod author trolling actually.

 

[zemerick]

The reason Charged, Explosions and Meteors add stability...is that they are instabilities. Basically, it's letting you choose your poison.
