    What's TerraFrimaCraft?

    Basically, its like..minecraft, but realism. Not compatable with other mods, but you start ou gathering pebbles from the ground to knap them into basic stone tools, and you cant build a basic dirt house without crafting supports cause almost every block type respects gravity and fall/collapse .

    Basically, Your erebor as it is now, if it were transposed into TFC, would just collapse into a rubble pit.

    Also I got a underwater road from the swamp to the first island up and running..sponges are temporarily holding the water back until my smeltery autoglass production produces enough to begin sealing it up.

    TFC: That sounds crazy painful, but would be less so and more fun in a server setting.

    Related to the road: Oh my god that is fantastic. I think I might try and do an Atlantis type build eventually.

    I also kind of want to do another upsidedown castle, but I don't think that would work without underdark. Or a floating island...

    The modmaker(s?) label it as "The way Survival should have been" or something similar.
    And it's mostly accurate, in that TFC is a hardcore version of Minecraft.
    Everything is more realistic, takes longer to achieve and is generally harder.
    No more punching tress, basically.

    Can't play anymore - just getting sudden overheat deaths even when standing around doing nothing, then respawning on fire and dying again and again. Recovered items, then had the same thing happen again and again. Was not lagging at all at the time, as far as I could tell, though Buttcleft said he was getting three fps. Something is screwed up somewhere :(

  • ButtcleftButtcleft Registered User regular
    Yeah MPS has been buggy thi map. Its icons randomly change, and you could just be standing around doing nothing for some time and suddenly overheat by 3000% and be unable to ever wear the power armor again without creative or something to keep you alive until the heat dissipates.

  • HugglesHuggles Registered User regular
    I'm sure @Takel said in the last few pages that MMPS is technically incompatible with MCPC+

    It'll be a 'nice' thing to have, being able to see the world on the DynMap as it should be, rather than a splattering of black blocks and missing blocks. On the grand scheme of things? Low priority. My priorities in regards to the server are:

    Get HQM set up. This is going to take a really long time because I want to use it to give a rundown on all the mod/server basics and to give pointers about common stuff

    Fix up the airship. I intend for it to stick around for a while.

    Get all ComputerCrafty and develop an in-game notice board for the portal room.

    Develop a ComputerCraft based energy->matter replicator. You insert energy (and maybe for some stuff, items as well), you use it to buy stuff.

    Consider implementing a block logging plugin (this may involve a MySQL install on the server)

    Get a basic webpage setup on the server to shove setup instructions so that the forum link to the server can just be http://pa-moskau.net/

    DynMap config

    and playing the darn game is somewhere in there...

    Nope. I'd rather fork out another $13 a month, then figure out how to string two servers together (again) and have a dedicated server instance with a different mod pack loadout for AS in addition to the main instance.

    @Takel whats HQM?

    If the airship is sticking around, then you can take your time on it.

    Also, please stop for like 2 weeks and just play the damn game!

  • TakelTakel Registered User regular
    HQM (Hardcore Quest Mode) is one of the central mods found in the AS pack. It's a quest mod that lets you design up a quest book for the players to follow. The quests can have dependencies, you can group them up into different sections/pages, set introduction text and the quests are completed on either a crafting trigger or manual hand-in. Rewards can be given, and the rewards can be a selection of 'guaranteed rewards' and/or 'pick one from ...'. In addition, the rewards can include 'loot bags' which are configurable and are the standard random selection from a loot table.

    Basically, it's probably the best implemented quest mod I've seen so far and it's fairly intuitive to follow. I'm intending on using it to introduce people to most/all the mods in the pack in a self-paced way and it gives me a way to ease people into the server with freebies and walkthroughs without using a central repository and relying on an honour system.

    It's got provisions for Hardcore mode (multiple lives) but those aren't going to be used obviously.

    I mostly just suggested a TFC server as a joke, but it would be a nice change of pace because its a radical departure of everything we're used to.

    @Radiation the first, and shortest, undersea road is 99% completed..but its taken almosta n entire diamond chest of tico glass to seal up. I am truly terrified of the resources I am soon to be consuming when I have to jump across the central ocean to Fighting_Masheen's house.

    It'll be better off playing Starbound in that case with TerraFirmaCraft being such a radical change from Minecraft. The only commonality is the graphics/world engine, and that's a horrible thing to have in common.

    You may want to contemplate using Quartz glass instead. It has the multi-block textures like clear glass and doesn't require cooking in a smelter so it's a lot easier to set up a mass parallel production line for it. However, the materials cost is a little bit more complex than clear glass...

    Also I really like tico clear glass because it is basically an empty texture.

    Is the power-suit getting equipped automatically? If it is, try equipping crappy armour, like wood armour so you pick up the pieces as... well, pieces. Then set the powersuit to the minimum, make a pool of water, and sit in it while you put on each piece individually

    Doesn't work. power meter is literally off the screen every time, only way to get it down is to put it on in water and die 2-4 times before it gets below the threshold. Unless you can pop creative or something.
    The latter is the only way I got starvalds power armor cooled off, then I went back survival and gave him the armor and half of it vanished from the world.

    I'll have to dig around and see if there are other reports of it. In the meantime, oooops, my finger slipped and I added two zeros to the base heat caps and additional heat for the heat sinks. Let's see if that helps. Note that this will only help with the heat values going off the chart, it ain't going to help you self-immolating from the heat.

    The active cooler has had the same exponential increase, and associated energy usage change. I do fully understand that this does mean heat is going to be a non-issue under normal situations now, but until I get more research done, consider this as a stop-gap

    the smell of overcooked ham .0001 seconds before you are incinerated @Radiation‌

    Also I finished the first segment of the underwater road, its going to cut east form roughly where I laid out the slab blocks, then head straight south, under the ocean, to Fighting_Masheen's house.

    Then from there its going to turn east again and hit Gins island.

    By the time this is done maybe you'll finish the southern exit to erebor so I can finally build to botz

    Actually, let's not beat around the bush.

    Base heat capacity has been raised from 50 to 50,000
    The cooling module's effectiveness has been raised to 1,000% of base. Energy usage remains at base

    Basically, I'm telling everyone using a powersuit to install an active cooling module and use it until I find out if this heat spike is a MCPC incompatibility symptom. This change may become permanent.

    Get a couple nodes in a jar for easy recharging, build it with dirt and then swap it over? I guess that wouldnt really save much time, but its easier to see where you are building.

    OK so you did not add anywhere near enough zeros, @Takel - died twice more just now with the heat bar going off of the screen again, although the cooling system I think did keep me from dying after picking up the armor this time. I have a spare set of power armor that I wore picking up the overheated set - only took a little damage before the items cooled back down in inventory.

    Ok, I'll add a few more zeros for the cooling system.

    The active cooler is now at 4,000,000 whatever up from 40, which is the default. This represents a 100,000x multiplier compared to the original value

    HOPEFULLY this will remove the chance that a heat spike will instantly kill you. No guarantees though.

    I've had trouble with that before. Seems like it doesn't play well with some pumps. I've had success before with using golems to bucket the source into a tank or liquid node.

  • TakelTakel Registered User regular
    BC pumps cannot pump lava on the server. You're going to have to find some other way.

    @Takel future versions of HQM are going to include repeatable quests. Could be useful as a vendor-block alternative.

    @Botznoy use a bucket golem to move the lava into a tank, then use fluiducts to move the lava out of the tank.

    Or use Extra Utilities Liquids transport nodes and pipes

    If you don't have the thaumcraft chops to do golems, let me know and I can make one for you..but I'll need a couple blocks of rotten flesh
