What cool little thing have you discovered today?

[OniyaMCD]

speaking of squids, i found out that calamari is one of the best early game food sources until you get a healing axe (which restores hunger at no price)

I was living off of meat ingots for a long time - mostly because I had them after having to make a Pink Slime Crystal. Actually doing rather well in the 'normal' food department, too, considering how often my ungrateful farm animals glitch out of their nice safe pens. (Kill the escapees, breed the ones that stay in the pen.)

I'm playing in VR using Vivecraft, and today I discovered that not only can you hold the bow sideways, it's actually easier to aim this way.

I also discovered (from this thread, no less), that Ender IO has a 1.12 release.

Direwolf20 has announced that EnderIO and Thaumcraft will be added to the next update of the DW20 pack in the next week or so.

Been curious about this. I've run Win10 version in VR before, but how does Vivecraft compare? And are you still able to play modpacks?

IC2 MV Transformers don't stack. Good thing I had 8 slots open in my inventory.

The Lifecycle Acceleration Frame from ChromatiCraft massively speeds up the turnover of bees (queens lives are very much shortened) making it a lot less tedious - and it only requires the second tier of ChC item creation, runecrafting.

Neat.

Spoiler: a cool thing I saw from Krakaen’s Continuum LP

There is a recipe in the phytogenic insolator for turning certus quartz seeds into fully grown pure certus quartz using glowstone as the fertiliser. That’s really nice

Well, that was in FTB Revelation, so I'm not exactly surprised.

We can make Seared Stone by putting Stone in a TiCo Smeltery. It changed my life.

Oh. Well, never mind then.

Yeah! This came up in Regrowth, back in 1.7 - the grout recipe was removed, so you had to use cobble in a smelting machine (in the case of that pack, from Mariculture) and use that to get the seared stone for a Smeltery. And once you had a small smeltery you could then melt more stone and make it bigger!

I haven't play 1.7 that much (nobody wanted to play with me :l ), I came back with 1.10 then 1.12 modpacks

Finally! Thank you Direwolf20, even tho I've always viewed him and his videos as being more for beginner players who are learning, this shows that it isn't always the case. Since there are no other major big-name packs with these mods in them, Dire's modpack will definitely get some play from me in the coming weeks, just so I can finally see these two ESSENTIAL mods that have been missing from v1.12.2 modpacks

P.S. I see this post was made on May 4, two weeks ago... I wonder if DW20 pack has already been updated? Twitch still shows me that the last modpack update was on March 14. What is Dire waiting for?

 

[KingTriaxx]

This is definitely cool, but not little: Thermal Dynamics filters can be installed inline in ducting, creating one way piping, or creating a blockage to prevent pathing.

I believe he was waiting for Ender IO to roll out some bug fixes before he added it to the pack, iirc

This is a goodie, thanks

Discovered while reading @ICountFrom0 's text-play: Soaking wood in creosote apparently makes it less flammable! (Kids, don't try this at home!)

Yeah, you should do it outside instead.
(or around a friend's house so you don't have to clean up the mess)

Placing a Market makes a falling villager. Falling from the sky. With the "iiiiiiiiiii" sound.
Removing the Market makes the villager "pouf". With the particles effect.

It made my day :'D

(There's a RenFaire act around here that uses the line 'Don't do this at home - do it at a friend's house!)
