To answer my own question, yes, I was getting unlucky. Blast Protection has existed for quite a long while... anyway, my Auto-Enchanter did finally get a level 4 book for me.
I also got a tier 5 skeleton soul gem spawner. I set up 3 grinders and they still can't really keep up with the flow of skeletons, but it's enough to keep a continuous stream of arrows going to my hungry node. I'm voiding all the rest of the drops. The hungry node has just passed 100 for the lowest primal aspects. Since I don't have a server running the world constantly, I should probably call it good there I imagine.
Yeah, I started a infinity evolved server. It's a kitchen sink type pack that can be found on the ftb or curse launchers. If you're interested send me a PM with your minecraft name.
I have gotten rid of the farm, thanks to chunkloading all the barrels were full so I'm in no rush to replace it atm. I also got rid of the chicken pit and built a meat haus, put some chickens in there for egg farming, as well as some cows in a fuckpit.
also I'd @ all the old peeps like I said but the only forum names I can remember is @Radiation and @Kanden
I can't decide if I want to keep Project E or not. It can get kinda overpowered.
But on the other hand I'm more interested in building things than spending hours getting enough diamonds for whatever.
And at least I don't have Magical Crops, because that combo is definitely silly.
I've seem some well balanced not insane Magical Crops implementations
I've never seen a well balanced not insane ProjectE setup.
Especially since you can generate infinite (whatever ProjectE's energy value is) with a single blaze rod.
Pickle Pack: Magical 2 might be close? All of the Magical Crops ingot recipes are much harder, you only get one per make and each one requires the previous tier ingot, 4 of the new tier's dust and 4 essence of the new tier's level. You need lots of zivicio ingots to even start getting into ProjectE and you need 4 of them for each dark matter you make. Similarly, you need the zivicio armor and tools to get started with Draconic Evolution. I can't even make the draconic chest until I make an alchemical chest from ProjectE, which takes a bunch of dark matter. I can probably start working on that next though... maybe I can finally get the tablet made to start doing some exchanges soon. I've noticed that a whole bunch of modded things don't have EMC value in this pack though, so I'm not entirely sure just how useful it's going to be really.
As I got into ichorium in Thaumcraft finally, I was able to make the Draconic Evolution Mob Grinder, so I'm set up to be able to make a Wither boss auto killing machine, which should make my zivicio dust generation much more reasonable. Though I think I want to wait a little bit and make a portal to the last millenium, move my spawners/killing chambers there. I don't know if it'll reduce lag, but I suppose it's worth a shot.
@LD50 moved the smeltery into the techer, and got enough stuff to make menumenum.
you have a menumenum pickaxe and toolrod waiting in the chest by the smeltery, to make with whatever binding you want (menumenum is strongest tool rod and head, but binding can be a lot of things, I used paper)
I also got a blaze spawner from a fortress (which was goddamn far away) in a diamond dolly in one of the chests, i'll make a spawn room soon.
Also I dug what you could probably call a moat around most of the settlement.
I wrote a program to back the world file up to google drive once a night. If anyone wants access to the backup folder so they can keep a copy for themselves, pm me your gmail address so I can add you to the sharing.
Dear god. You're going to be backing up a multi-gig folder every single night in no time...
Nah, my script prunes the modpack's automatic backups first, and compresses the whole thing into a 7zip solid archive. It stores the last 5 days of daily snapshots and even with three snapshots of the 2 gig world file the archive is only 500 megs.
Is there a way to set up a chunk for use by two people? I set a few chunks for myself, but my sister can't do anything on those chunks now. If not I can just switch to a perimeter of mine, with the middle still technically being wilderness

Two ways, either you both will need to set each other as friends (click the little icon with 3 people next to your inv, if that still dosn't work type in /lmplayer_settings block_security friends). Or you can type in /lmplayer_settings block_security public to let everyone on the server interact with stuff in your claimed area.
E: In case you don't know you can also ctrl click the chunks on the map to keep them loaded.
I kinda forgot how grindy building out a blood magic altar can be.
Edit: the altar is level 2 now, I'll figure out how to add a mob spawn room down there later.
Heh, I've built half a dozen altars to t5/t6 at least.
also @LD50 we have an basic AE storage. Theres no automation, and its definitely going to need more than the single 4k drive it has now to hold everything, but its there.
edit
everythings been moved into the AE net, don't compress dirt/cobble/etc anymore cause it just takes up unnecessary space. just put it into the ME net singularly.
I never have really used SFM, I was going to give it a shot back when I was playing Crash Landing on 1.6.4, but didn't quite get to it. It does seem neat though, and quite powerful.
Also, ignore what I said about how Magical 2 uses ProjectE, I think the tablet stuff is completely disabled. Which makes me wonder why the quest book has you make Klein stars... just weird.
I'm getting fairly near the end of Magical 2, the only stuff I have left is Awakening my Ichorium armor/tools for Thaumcraft. I'm not sure there's even any room for any Elder related quests, though I do need to get a primordial pearl so unlock some more research like the advanced alchemical furnace and such. I'm still feeding the hungry node as well, 4 of the aspects are nearing 300, but Perditio and Aer are waaay behind for some reason, not even at 200 yet.
Then I have a bunch of mid to late game Blood Magic stuff to deal with. Before I can really start on that, I need to re-setup my altar at my newer base and get either a powered spawner or cursed earth spawner going with a Well of Suffering. Botania I think I have pretty much finished, I just got 8 endoflames together with little setups to drop coal blocks on them so I could open the portal and get to that stage, then fought the gaia guardian quite a few times to get gaia spirits and that's about it.
Oh, and there's a Twilight Forest quest line that I want to finish up, I forget exactly where I am in it, but I'm getting fairly close to the end I think. After that, there's just some absurd collection quests, some of which I've done, but I don't know that I'm going to do all of them. So, nearly finished, pretty neat pack overall, but a bit too grindy in parts.
What I'd really like to put together, once Thaumcraft is out for 1.10.x, is a pack that's primarily just Thaumcraft and Botania, otherwise just some tweaks and helper mods, Storage Drawers and the like. I was watching some of a Youtube series who did Thaumcraft and Botania Unite in 1.7.10 and it seemed like a neat idea. I suppose I could do it in 1.8.9 as it is, but it seems like it'd just be better to wait for Thaumcraft to be ready in 1.10.x, since apparently it's getting a rewrite or something.
@Buttcleft
I like how yesterday you were out hunting for meteors, and today we have a SFM system autocrafting AE stuff.
yesterday I was raging at meteors for denying me the glory of engineering presses you mean.
seriously we have like 4-5 of all the other presses, but only managed to find 1 engineering press.
But yeah, this isn't the first time I've automated presses, just the first time with SFM, and I think it was easier than the last time I did it, which was with ender IO item conduits
@Radiation finally finished clearing out the area. If you want to create a more permanent farm or whatever space you want to do whatever you want to do feel free to take some land.

I'm fine with the temp thing, unless you want me to move the farm area because you have plans! I'll be on later this evening and we can hash stuff out.
I'm claiming the light blue prefix on enderchests. Not sure if that matters to anyone, but figured I'd blast it off in thread.
Edit: Also won't be able to get on until Monday so if someone wants to work farm I have quite a few more crops I discovered that I'm trying to take up to 10/10/10. Chests are labeled. If we get one that's 10/10/10 please bring it up to 5 seeds and put it in the completed chest.

As is usual, my ender code is pink pink X
@LD50 we have 3 nether stars in the ae net, I also added to our power gen (because I never done did windmills before).
I'm probably going to work on getting the last 6 botania flowers today, too..unless you have another project you want me to focus on.
There's a bug in Journeymap that causes some serious issues if you're up near the top of the nether. Journeymap is client side only, so you can update the mod without causing issues.

Causes a massive memory leak if you go near the nether ceiling that will eat up all your ram, no matter how much you have, and all but hardlock your system.
Also I may have broken the server...sorry LD :bigfrown:
Yeah, something about a skyblock dimension with "clouds" of liquid that fall forever and generate pink slimes is hell on a server. Who would have thought.
We're going to try a tectonic petroleum petrotheum and a dirt dimension next.

The building is partially done. It's not 100% final, and I ran out of obsidian for the tanks (I'm making both obsidian and lava, but I'll be asleep before the machines finish and I'll probably need more). I put the shower where I think it would be good, but I didn't attach any pipes because I don't know which kinds you think would look good with the fluid. I also need to wire the pressure plate to the shower but I think I need to invert the signal. I was thinking of maybe using bc structure pipe and pipe wire if that is a thing in this pack, but I'm open to suggestions.

Like the madness to log in and try to automate my AE inscribers with Steve's Factory Manager.
which worked!
On the first try!
I was unabashedly shocked, as Radi bore witness too.
Now I just wish there was a way to copy your SFM code in case I ever have to move the damn thing, cause I don't want to do this again.

but I've got 10 of the 16 flowers done now, fully upgraded to 10 10 10.
next time @Radiation or @Kanden is on i'll throw the spare seeds to you to propagate.

Check the gold chests in the magic haus.
of interest are a mystcraft page for emerald blocks, blood magic LP, and ethanol.
A bank of generators running of a functionally infinite ethanol source could an amusing boost to our power gen.

Go to your ftb infinity/mods folder and remove the journeymap .jar file from that folder and replace it with the one you downloaded.
Here is a direct link to the correct download

Did you bring it home with the safari net?
Also we have nether stars btw, build yourself a portal gun. make it a bacon gun so you don't break anyone elses portals though.
