Got Minecraft just a couple of days ago as an early Christmas present. Room on the Mafiascum server for another player?My Uncle always use'ta say, 'You can't get no blood from a turnip.' .... He'd say the same thing about gettin' it from a stone, too.

And the dynmap link in Post 0 is wrong, UA just hasn't updated it yet - NBD though.
Does this happen with me PMing them here at mafiascum with my username (It is OsoHP by the way, my Minecraft profile) or is a request sent when I try and use the server?My Uncle always use'ta say, 'You can't get no blood from a turnip.' ....

Since I basically use Mobs for XP and resources, and not for any sort of fun usually. As long as it is above peaceful I'm good.
I'll officially put my vote one easy though. From reading some the comments, I'll throw in with them. Easy gets Mobs and drops so yeah, I'll go with that as that is all I'm concerned with as far as mobs go.My Uncle always use'ta say, 'You can't get no blood from a turnip.' ....

Just saw Klaz's post about changing the nether Pumping Distance. I have no problem with that. 3K did seem kind of excessive for the Nether.

MiniMap Change: No Objections at all. Just so long as we have a MiniMap, I'm good.
Creeper Change: Yes. At least if you get surprised by a Creeper while building, you just have to put it back together, you don't have to go looking for replacements for any blocks that may have been destroyed. It is not really nerfing the Creeper even, a herd of Creepers can still set you back tremendously on building things.My Uncle always use'ta say, 'You can't get no blood from a turnip.' ....

I withdraw my Yes vote on the Creeper Mod. I was under the impression this was just for Creepers only. Not a game wide changing of all asplosions.

I have no problem, personally, with the Admin team asking for input. But like anything else, things can be overtalked and somethings really don't need to be discussed.
Not that I want to add to their paperwork burden, but if they would like to use informational posts, something like:
Creeper Mod: Looked into, discussed, rejected.
It does satisfy both criteria. They have informed the player base with some of the particulars without going into exhaustive detail and it does show the players that something new was discussed. That puts the onus on the players to research the mod, decide if they personally like it and then see if they can make a case to bring here as to why it should be included in the future.
Obviously, this wouldn't preclude the players from bringing their own Mod ideas forward nor would it keep the Admin team from bringing things here that they feel really do need some community discussion.My Uncle always use'ta say, 'You can't get no blood from a turnip.' .... He'd say the same thing about gettin' it from a stone, too.

Obviously, some things won't get brought to the community right off. WorldGen stuff I am guessing. Thanks to folks like me, Rob and Rhinox, a large number of the chunks near (and not so near) spawn have been genned already.
I'm guessing that anything that add WorldGen (or even RetroGen, a whole bunch of new items, ect, ect) would have to be exhaustively tested on an existing copy of the world as it stands at the time the mod is suggested. If it can't be done without breaking the world, it won't really matter that 100% of the player's want it. That is the main reason I haven't put up a hue and cry and to see if IC2 couldn't be included in the future. Too much work most likely and too likely to irreparably break the world.My Uncle always use'ta say, 'You can't get no blood from a turnip.' .... He'd say the same thing about gettin' it from a stone, too.

Well, I don't know all the reasons, but as much as I liked (and still do) IC2, even I agree that UU Matter and the Mass Fabricator really had no business being in Minecraft to begin with. The Minium Stone is bad enough except that you really don't get something for nothing there like you basically do with the Mass fabricator. Just get things to basically 'change form' as it were.My Uncle always use'ta say, 'You can't get no blood from a turnip.' .... He'd say the same thing about gettin' it from a stone, too.

Informational note:
I found a Pumping Station in the Overworld at X:-1792/Y:117/Z:1056. The Energy Tesseract was set to Frequency 1(Oil Pump).
I have not dismantled it but it has been here for at least 2 weeks, that is when I first noticed it, and the well is dry (it was a HUGE Oil Vault by the way when I looked, lots of oil came out of it). The Equipment is an Energy Tess, Pump, an Ender Tank set Black/Black/Black plus the Energy Conduits and waterproof pipes to run the thing.
I did take down the chunk loader though, trying to find if I could get the owner's name and it fell quite a ways and I couldn't find it to recover it, so who ever this rig belongs to, I owe you a chunk loader.
Only reason I mention this is that it looks like it might be abandoned by a player who no longer plays or the player who does own it has forgotten exactly where it was. It is located in some Red Hills right next to an NPC Village. Anyhow, get a hold of me in game or respond to this post if it is yours and I'll replace your chunk loader.My Uncle always use'ta say, 'You can't get no blood from a turnip.' .... He'd say the same thing about gettin' it from a stone, too.

Next 6 months or so, say first of the year, unless there is something amazing that comes out or some of the Mods folks have been waiting to update (Xycraft comes to mind but that is just an example), I vote we stick with what we have. Personally, I can spend the next couple of months, at least, learning the Mods I have no experience with.In post 14174, Klazam wrote:basically- do we want to keep adding mods and risk borking stuff, or do we stick to what we have now?
But yeah:

Ok, I got myself updated to 1.1.1. I do however have a couple of files on my desktop that weren't there before:
jacob-1.17-M2-x86.dll
---
jacob-1.17-M2-x64.dll
Anyone have a clue as to what those might be?
Also, I have a config folder on my desktop now that has this:
denoflionsx (folder)
-->denLibCore (folder)
----->updater (.cfg file)
None of that were there when I downloaded the new 1.1.1 mod pack but were there after I did.
As near as I can tell. the jacob files are needed by Java? Should they go into the Java folder?My Uncle always use'ta say, 'You can't get no blood from a turnip.' .... He'd say the same thing about gettin' it from a stone, too.

Rhinox, I know it seems to be the default, or at least one of the earlier power methods, on our server but Lava->Magmatic Engines setups seem to be the least onerous to get started.
Granted, to get access to large amounts of lava, a trip to the Nether is needed and you will occasionally have to go there and move your pump. However, the resource requirements per engine aren't that great. The only specialty resource you will really need for mags are Ferrous Metal and yes, it does require a deep mine to get a substantial amount of it. BUT 1 Ferrous Ingot converts to 3 Invar Ingots (once the Iron is added) so you don't need a huge amount of the stuff. A single Magmatic engine need 11 Invar Ingots to make which works out to 3 and 2/3rds (I know, you can't get a fractional Ingot) Ferrous Ingots per Engine or if you want to keep the numbers even, 3 Magmatic Engines can be made with 11 Ferrous Ingots to start.
Magmatic Engines don't explode they just stop working if they overheat and even that can be prevented by making sure they are only hooked into machines and such using Redstone Energy Conduits. Unless there is something in the updates that have changed it, it seems that the Conduits will absorb just enough energy, even if there is no power draw off the conduit, to keep the Mag from overheating.
At 4 MJ/t, to get the 100 MJ/t you threw out from above, that is 25 engines (it will actually take a bit more when you count energy loss but that is a different discussion) and since you don't (can't really) add cooling to the things, those engines can be set up in a space smaller than you might you might think.
But yeah, it is not maintenance free. I'd call it low maintenance and dead easy to set up on an auto on/off system since you only have the lava fuel pipes to deal with rather than <whatever> fuel pipes and cooling pipes you have the potential to have with other types of engines.My Uncle always use'ta say, 'You can't get no blood from a turnip.' .... He'd say the same thing about gettin' it from a stone, too.

Eh, you are right in a way. I haven't been on myself right now because of the reset. Long term projects (bees mainly) that have no chance to come to fruition before the reset happens.In post 14593, dappyscroo wrote:However, it might just be worth ignoring what I have to say. I'm unlikely to want to carry on after yet another (IMHO unnecessary) server reset, particularly since there seems to be little in the way of interest in a modded server any more -- I've been playing almost every day recently, and am almost always the only person on there. I may as well be playing SSP.
Most folks will be back playing after the reset, I'm thinking.My Uncle always use'ta say, 'You can't get no blood from a turnip.' .... He'd say the same thing about gettin' it from a stone, too.

That means Natura would WorldGen in the Overworld and not the Nether?In post 14600, Klazam wrote:I'd love Natura, with the nether override disabled.
B:"Override Nether"=false?
I could live with that personally. I like Natura but to be quite honest, I have found nothing in the Nether (other than heat sand maybe. I was planning on seeding a ring of it around my base in SSP to see if I could get the mobs to hop around taking damage) to be even the least bit useful to me.My Uncle always use'ta say, 'You can't get no blood from a turnip.' ....

Just a few on that. Yes, I have some Cloud Storage (MS SkyDrive) that I am happy to use the public section to include the ModPack Download and Yes, I am also happy to help anyone set up a MultiMC Instance for that pack (sorry, that is the only Launcher I am comfortable with so if you use Magic Launcher or something else, you are on your own.In post 14615, Maestro wrote:Maestro's Post
Latest version, I think, of MultiMC for Windows/MacOS/Linux
As to the pack, I mentioned I had a pack I was using personally for a Single Player Survival instance on my own computer and Maestro asked if he could see the Mod list.
One thing I do have to say about it is that this pack was never meant to be balanced or have a broad appeal. That was why originally I included IC2, without GregTech and with Compact Solars installed (There is a problem with Compact Solars that hasn't been solved yet. Or if it has, I am not aware of it) so that power would be plentiful and maintenance free once the panels were built and the infrastructure was put in place. I didn't want to have to worry one bit about power other than to make sure I had plenty. I made it to do one thing really and do it well, I hope. And that was to support Forestry's Bees, Trees and Binnie's add-ons to them. The rest of the stuff is in there to make that easier plus some things to do (Atum, Twilight Forest) when I got bored with bees plus some mods that added some building options (Immbi's Microblocks and Natura, with it only WorldGenning in the Overworld. Natura did make the Nether look pretty amazing, but ultimately it made the place too busy and made finding the things you wanted to in the Nether a whole lot more difficult in my opinion.)
Not to say there isn't other things the pack can do, other that Natura being OW gen only, not a single mod has been nerfed or modified other than what everyone is used to (Flat bedrock rather than Vanilla Bedrock). I am even setting Persistent Lava back to True before I zip up the pack to give to Maestro.My Uncle always use'ta say, 'You can't get no blood from a turnip.' ....

Given that KMP is Klaz's private server, I'm guessing it will last a bit longer, reset-wise, than most. I've seen the mod list and they all look to be tested, stable mods for the most part. It is likely to be as persistent a world as is possible with modded MinecraftIn post 14652, Rhinox wrote:

This. Forge borks the sounds and if I try to install a mod directly into the minecraft.jar, it doesn't work. Seems the launcher will re-download the *.jar and overwrite what I just added.In post 14805, Maruchan wrote:GOD DAMN IT FUCKING 1.6 IS MAKING MODDING SO COMPLICATED GRRRRRRRRR

I might, as this post is about Nether Pathways.
I am considering hooking my Portal up to Spawn's Portal and Clamville's portal with protected pathways, similar, but better, to what I did in MafiaCraft. Anyone who would like to be included with this, give the OW or Nether Coords of your portals and I'll happily connect them into they system as well. I'm guessing that I'll use Clamville as the hub rather than Spawn, but both will be included.
If I find your wither while I'm surveying Izak, I'll take a swing at killing it.
Edit; PM me your coords here, post or tell me in IRC if you want to be included.My Uncle always use'ta say, 'You can't get no blood from a turnip.' .... He'd say the same thing about gettin' it from a stone, too.

9:00 am PDT - September 20, 2013...rogue Wither was spotted. But officer was ill-equipped to handle the creature.In post 15199, izakthegoomba wrote:So I miiiiiight have just massively screwed up my wither containment device and let it loose in an area with a bunch of valuables, including all of my spawners...

The ALCU is lodging a formal protest because the officer did not even try to apprehend them peacefully. When asked, the ranking authority stated, and I quote, "Peacefully? The were 2 Ghasts and a friggin' Wither...."

I also have an Enderman spawner, also public but I do have to change them out as I have only one room built for them), AND 2) I have skulls to make 2 Withers and I know Dav has said he has enough for at least 1....when we gonna kill this thing?

Well, all that needs to be done is pick a time then. I'm good to go from now until whenever. If anyone is short weapons and/or armor, I have resources, good resources even, coming out my ears (I think we all do) and I'll gladly use what XP I have to help enchant other folks weapons or armor.In post 16354, EspeciallyTheLies wrote:Yes oso!

I've been doing a lot of Single Player, pure Survival on one world and Creative on another. Mainly, messing with Mekanism to see what it could do. Thought I'd share some of the things I have observed about it. Some of the information is stuff that I have observed, that I found on the web and confirmed it through observation in-game or other information is strictly from the web that I haven't been able to confirm yet because I haven't built the required machines or because I haven't figured out a way to test it yet.
This is done With Mekanism v6.x instead of v5.x (the server has v5.x) simply because v6.x has a bunch of neat new stuff and it has improved the GUIs throughout the whole mod. It is now possible to see power generation AND machine power use directly in the GUI. Unless there has been a fundamental change in the mod though, all the stuff I put here should apply to the server version of Mekanism (v5.x) as I don't plan on putting anything in this post specific to v6.x unless we actually upgrade the server to that version.
I'll spoiler this as I plan to add to the post (if folks find it helpful) as I learn more about it.
Because of the confusion caused by MJ (Minecraft Joules - Buildcraft power) and MJ (Mekanism Joules and 1 Million Joules - Mekanism power), I'll leave BC power at MJ and if I have to refer to Mekanism Joules I'll use MekJ or MegaMekJ.Please note:

Just some random thoughts.
@ETL - I've personally done all I want to on Agrarian Skies. Haven't completed all the quests but really have no interest in doing the last few. It was a good server though, after I got over my initial frustration with some of the recipe changes and the whole having to struggle mightily just to not starve to death in the beginning, it was an interesting experience in using the mods in ways I've never done before.
I've no interest in Vanilla but I do have an interest in playing with people. Ironic for me to say that as I am known for getting as far away from spawn as possible and doing my own thing. So I'll throw in with Kcdaspot, if vanilla restarts I'll go ahead and split my Minecraft time between Vanilla and Modded in the hopes that I can help contribute to the type of community we had before the first Mafiascum FTB server went live. Vanilla isn't anywhere close to being as fun as modded but having a server with active players does go a long way to make up for that be it a Vanilla Server or Modded Server.My Uncle always use'ta say, 'You can't get no blood from a turnip.' .... He'd say the same thing about gettin' it from a stone, too.

Let me know whereabouts this spawntown will be created. If there are no objections I'll get started on an auto-harvest farm after collecting the resources needed, of course. Not sure the form it will take but I'ma need Redstone, starter food/seed stocks, iron, pistons, ect.
Provided no one else had already started plans in their head for making a food farm near spawn.My Uncle always use'ta say, 'You can't get no blood from a turnip.' .... He'd say the same thing about gettin' it from a stone, too.

I'm currently building a community farm. Hopefully will cover all aspects, food and animals. After that, I haven't decided yet if I'm going to go a little ways separate from Spawntown or a long ways separate.
Edit: Although, where I have the mine I am using to get the resources to build the farm, it has a nice view of Spawn Town. I may just build there.My Uncle always use'ta say, 'You can't get no blood from a turnip.' .... He'd say the same thing about gettin' it from a stone, too.

Thanks Maru. Those are pretty neat.
For the Community Farms/pens, I will go with something more basic though. My thinking is they will be something that looks nice (while still being useful) but will mainly be used for getting things players haven't already acquired on their own. I'm not fooling myself into thinking they will be used for anything other than starter stock by players as I'm almost certain, every player is going to have their own personal farms/pens.
The Tree farms might actually see more use but there again, cut a tree(s) down, get enough saplings to replant them and have some extra to start your own farm, never come back sort of thing.My Uncle always use'ta say, 'You can't get no blood from a turnip.' ....

I haven't messed with 1.7 at all. Modded or Vanilla. I jumped straight from 1.6.4 Modded to 1.8 Vanilla. SO yeah, I'd be interested in seeing more screeniesMy Uncle always use'ta say, 'You can't get no blood from a turnip.' .... He'd say the same thing about gettin' it from a stone, too.

Here is something weird (or maybe not that weird, I don't know) for the last 2 days when I'm not playing Minecraft because I'm working or something, I have the Vanilla Launcher open to the games opening screen.

Not far. There are some major builds going on but the community builds are a bit sporadic at the moment.
I'm working on community farms (Trees, food, Nether Wart and the like) and Maru has started on the Central Spawntown building, but neither one of us is making huge strides . I'm splitting my time on Vanilla between building the farms, gathering the materials and looking for seed stock.
That is how I found those 2 biomes. I'm looking for Mooshroom Island, Mega Tiaga and Jungle for animals/resources and seeds.
[Add-on edit] I just made a circle(square?) around 0,0 @ a distance of 2,500. Fixing to do the same thing again at a distance of 5,000 blocks.My Uncle always use'ta say, 'You can't get no blood from a turnip.' .... He'd say the same thing about gettin' it from a stone, too.

Pure survival, no creative. Those shots that look like flying, they aren't. Just taken from really tall mountains.

That was a pretty neat video. I didn't start playing until basically 1.4.7 but I do remember a free download you could get that I messed with. Probably a demo of some sort but all you could really do with it was build. No survival or mobs or anything (I don't think anyway. That was a while ago I messed with that).My Uncle always use'ta say, 'You can't get no blood from a turnip.' .... He'd say the same thing about gettin' it from a stone, too.

Btw Oso, I started harvesting the gravel deposit, and it looks hella ugly now lol. If you need help cleaning it up a bit, just let me know, I'll help you out
Unless someone has an objection to it, I'd say leave it for the moment. Now that the farm part of that area is mostly done, I'm starting to plan the rest (tree frams/animals pens, ect.) which is likely to mean some major transforming. I'd hate to see anyone spend hours of work to pretty it up just to have me come back and dig up all that work. I might just go ahead and replaced any exposed stone blocks that got exposed during the mining with dirt. But that itself would likely be temporary as well.
[Add-on Edit]
Actually, just popped on and looked at and it is pretty bad. BUT, a hole that deep and that big has...possibilities. Let me think on this some. I was going to use the mine as a location for a Random spawn mob spawner, this may be a good beginning to that as well. Plus, I was going to put the Giant Mushrooms above ground so I wouldn't have to dig a chamber big enough to grow them. You've already done about 90% of the work on a decent sized chamber so, that could work too.My Uncle always use'ta say, 'You can't get no blood from a turnip.' ....

I think I saw it today, I can put some furnaces in there if you don't mind (unless you are planning to do some machinery there yourself). I think it is close enough for it to be loaded, but we can test that.
Also, does anyone have a full enchanting setup that I could use?
Sure Furnaces are fine. I'll take as many as you want to get rid of. I'm thinking somewhere between 8-10 Furnaces so yeah, I only have 2 built so farMy Uncle always use'ta say, 'You can't get no blood from a turnip.' .... He'd say the same thing about gettin' it from a stone, too.

I agree for a bunch of them.
A single mod I'd go ahead and do, personally, the old fashioned way by editing the minecraft <version>.jar and all the hoops you have to jump through there. But that is just me. For a mod pack or more than about 2 mods, yeah, no way I'd do it manually.My Uncle always use'ta say, 'You can't get no blood from a turnip.' ....
