Why you would like to join my server:
Disclaimer: This post will be unnecessarily long, read the TL;DR at the bottom if you prefer.
What draws me to this server in particular is the size; I prefer a small community of people who work together and get along as apposed to a sprawling metropolis of greifers and unreal lag due to poor machine optimization. I enjoy helping and working with other people and will be adding to shared resources (if permitted) much in Direwolf20 spirit - although I'll save the sight of the monstrosities I'll likely create and just tesseract said resources over.
I would love to get know other mod enthusiasts, I've really enjoyed creating things in FTB with RL friends, the only problem being they're mostly mod illiterate and flee at the sight of a pneumatic tube! Hopefully I can find a few others that enjoy creating crazy contraptions, meshing all sorts of mods together and in the end creating some pretty impressive (or stupid) creations. I usually power through to end-game high tier items, like RP2 chunk annihilating quarries, but I think I'll take it a bit slower this time around - I might even try to make things look nice; thanks to XYcraft even 9x9 can look presentable!
So what can I bring to the server? Well, apart from my aforementioned enjoyment of helping others, I can also bring a large knowledge of the modpack to the table, and I'll be willing to share that knowledge to anyone who asks.
Automation: I've had a good few years of experience with buildcraft and red power, playing the former from near release. I can create sorting machines, to autocrafting, to solar factories; I know most there is to know on autarchic gates, sorting machines, pipes, tubes, filters, etc. I've tried all manner of mining operations, from quarries, RP2 frame machines and arcane bores, to mining and lazer turtles. It's fair to say automation is my favorite part of the game, if it can be done, I'll automate it, if it can't, I'll find a way!
Beeeeeeees: I really do love me some bees! Although useless at remembering any mutation combos, I know all the bits and bobs to do with bees, both in forestry, extra bees and some on thaumic bees. This is probably where I'll start, since it will make a change from a heavily industrial begin game.
Programming: I'm a hobbiest novice programmer, no further than creating basic arcade games (snake, pacman, tetris etc), but that's more than enough knowledge to get stuck right into computercraft, but since stack based programming gives me a headache I avoid RP2 computers like the plague (sorry Eloraam!). My most ambitious project was probably a turtle program that built a 5x10 wide/high wall with massive towers all automatically, it responded to marker blocks in the environment to trigger when to build towers or move the wall, and it got all the cobble from an enderchest hooked to a cobble gen.
Magic: Done tonnes with thaumcraft, definatly one of my favorites due to the pretty animations and textures. Looking forward to dabble more in Xeno's reliquary and EE3 (when Pahimar finishes it) and also go to the twilight realm, I've put that off long enough! I'll probably avoid mystcraft for the most part, I've done a lot of it plus it lags the server.
Power generation: I love to come up with new innovative ways of producing power, and I like to mash up as many mods as possible in the process while keeping tick rate as low as possible (yes, millions of enderchests and tesseracts!). As I said before, solar factories are a fun build for me, especially with the new XYcraft fabricator - such an epic block.
And the rest: I have a pretty good blanket knowledge of most the mods, but any I don't know so much in, I'm sure to learn at some point!
TLDR; Like helping others, would add lots to shared resources, know a tonne about most the mods.
How often do you play: 2-3 hours on weekdays, more on weekends depending on what I'm doing.
Have you ever been banned before: Nope.
P.S. I noticed slots were full, but thought I'd give it a post in case some are freed up in the future. Thanks for reading, sorry if your eyes hurt.
