Back to our regularly scheduled mod updates!

RWTema has updated Extra Utilities to 1.2.4!
Added: Inverted version of Ethereal glass, Ineffable glass and Dark Ethereal Glass. Allows everything except players to pass through (and projectiles such as arrows due to a limitation of the collision system)

Added: New/changed Thaumcraft aspects to various items/blocks



Changed: Spikes can now be enchanted but only if CofhCore is present. (CofhCore is still not required to run Extra Utilities)



Fixed: QED Items will now have the proper generated Thaumcraft aspects

Fixed: Quarry upgrade attempting to load non-existent textures

Fixed: Bug with spikes not killing vulnerable entities when they're supposed to.

If you want to use mystcraft in a pack, there are two options:
1. Distribute your configs, and tell people to get the file from Xcw's download, or
2: Do anything to customize your pack beyond just a collection of mods.

Or use RFtools instead and get a much better balanced mod ;)

Better balanced? Balanced differently.

Mystcraft is based around worlds being easy to make. The tech level required is paper and ink. Smelting glass, killing squid. Plus 3 iron. The cost for early game worldgen? Rich worlds are instable.

RfTools is based around powered machines. It's later game. The tech level required is higher. You have to have a bigger infrastructure. The cost? Power generation, which is probably anywhere from "trivial" for small amounts, to "painful", for large amounts. Rich worlds require the more painful generation.

Do you want early game access, with artistic features free and ore features with pain? Or late game access, where "nothing special" can be crafted, ore features have a powergen requirement, and artistry ... I don't know RfTools well enough to say.

  • Hungry spiders can now only gain maximum health 127 times (up to 528 health under normal circumstances).

and @cout970 with Magneticraft
cout970 said:
This is a mod about Energy.
Heat and Electricity are the basic mechanics in this mod, some energy sources generate Heat, other generate Electricity, both have their advantages and inconveniences.
Some of the mechanics on this mod are similar to the UltraTech ones.

This is an early alpha.

Now the mod allow to duplicate ores, even triplicate, has a electric miner that work more fast as more energy have
The mod has direct compatibility with RF and Railcraft Charge.
There are 6 energy sources: wind, lava, nuclear fuel, solid fuel, biomass and solar energy.

and @Davenonymous with CC's Factory Manager
Davenonymous said:
Allows ComputerCraft to handle items, fluids and RF similar to Steve's Factory Manager but with the power of lua.

Quick-Start
  1. Place a Factory Controller next to a Turtle
  2. Use a few Factory Cables to connect the controller to an empty chest or place a chest besides the controller.
  3. Right-click the Controller to open its GUI and name the turtle "hello" and the chest "world"
  4. Put a distinctive item in the turtles first slot, open a lua shell on the turtle and run:
factory = peripheral.wrap("front")
factory.transferItem("hello", 1, "world", 1, 0)
It should say 1, because it transferred 1 item from the first slot of "hello" to the first-best slot (0) of the target "world", i.e.: transferItem(source, source-slot, target, quantity, target-slot)
Permissions
Feel free to use in any modpack. I won't answer messages/issues about this, please don't feel insulted.

Peripheral Documentation
Please see the linked GitHub repository (see the above Source link) for detailed documentation on the functions provided by the peripheral.

Mystcraft has no balance at all though. The instable worlds are all well and good, but you can make a 5x dense ore world, it be STUPDLY instable, go in with all the debuffs, set down a quarry, or whatever you choose, a chunkloader, and leave, and it'll work just fine.
However, rftools, you need to keep the dimension powered, to do the trivial things, such as mining while not in the dimension.

I could probably think of a few reasons why RFTools dimensions are hardly better balanced than Mystcraft ones, but I'll just do this. Mystcraft: world-destroying decay. RFTools: Big Reactors.

I think my good ol' buddy @Primal Demon will back me up when I say, Big Reactors don't mean jack. Unless you have a fair few reactors all producing 20k+rf/t you make a "triple dense ore" (rftools equivalent) world, you WILL die... INSTANTLY!
We set up a world yesterday with villages, iron golems, and enderman... nothing game breaking like diamond blocks, everywhere, or whatever. But those 3 things meant we were spending 11krf/t. Our (pretty beefy) reactor couldn't keep up with that (well, our kinesis pipes couldn't). We had literally 1 minute in the world, after it was placed in a fully charged dimension builder, before it would kill us. It is a challenge, and only being able to do so much, no matter how perfect you make the "grammar", it will cost a fair amount for a decent world. I wouldn't be surprised if out next endeavour (diamond block world, found the dimlet yesterday ;)) will cost us more than our reactor can produce.
