"... Joey: It's on my list of things to do before next world version to teleport to all the scout locations and toss a few potions of purity at the base of the tree."
I just hope the non-tree nodes don't get tainted while you do that. I barely saved the one near the plains scout point and one of the two on eerie island near the shores. Also, don't forget to hit the few silverwood trees in the silverwood forest and eerie island that have pure nodes but aren't next to a scout location. =)
One more thing, are you interested in knowing any grammar errors I find in the quests?
Whoops ... really? I never had the impression that I would meet less of those. I have used the command once or twice myself and I still have a good deal of them around in that area. And i also had the impression that new ones would show up as well.
I will keep a closer look for them.
Tainted animals are created if a passive animal dies (either from the taint poisoning itself or any other means) while under the effects of taint poison (same applies to making a tainted player).
So out of curiousity since you have Spice of Life included in the modpack,
are you thinking about adding something like Pam's Harvestcraft to it
as well? I know not having it there is supposed to make things difficult
with having to manage food but...and I'm not sure if you can....you
could tweak Spice of Life's diminishing returns to make up for it?
Otherwise,
the only issue I seem to be having with the modpack for the most part
is when I use the Biome scanner on board the jaded, I think it has
something to do with all the chunks being loaded temporarily but the
scanning process absolutely murders my computer's memory.
Best thing to do to help food variety is use raw meat, cooked meat, and dried meat. Don't forget there are several types of fish as well, and you can dry rotten flesh for food too. Until you manage to get a good supply of twelve types of food, cookies and melons are a good way to refresh your last twelve foods eaten, since you can make a whole bunch of them. Request seeds frequently to get some berry bushes and carrots, potatoes, etc. I keep my food in an extra satchel so I don't have to go back to my base as often. My personal food rotation in the later game includes cookies, melons, pumpkin pie, bread, steak, cooked chicken, cooked pork chops, and the four types of normal berries.
I understand difficulty. Heck, difficulty is one reason I downloaded this modpack. But I want to say this:
Taint
swarms are absolutely RIDICULOUS. Seriously, if there's more than one
then its instant get-bounced-back-and-forth death. Pretty sure my dinky
flint sword broke after killing two. I can't check to tell you for sure
because said sword and everything else I managed to gather in the swamp
is now sitting inside an impenetrable cloud of swirling, rapidly
multiplying purple death. Reading through here I now gather that they're
coming out of tainted trees, yes? That brings me to a question: Is the
taint supposed to be able to overcome silverwood trees? Because it is,
at the swamp teleporter. It's turning the silverwood tree there into
crusted taint. Pretty handily, I might add.
Initially, there is some taint on the silverwood trees you find. It normally dies out before it can taint the wood on a silverwood tree with a pure node in it, but sometimes it doesn't. It's best to move taint off of any silverwood tree with a node in it that you find to avoid the risk. If one of the blocks adjacent to the pure node tree block got tainted, then the node stops converting to magical forest and becomes vulnerable. You can just take off another piece of silverwood and use it to cover the node if needed, though. Also, if one of the other parts of the tree gets tainted, while it will turn into goo, that goo can continue to taint and might eventually taint and crust up a block that's adjacent to the node. Even if the goo evaporates, the taint gas will still be under the leaves and may continue to taint the tree. It's best to either place a block where the goo/gas is, or use a shovel of the purifier if that happens. But again, just check the trees with nodes for taint when you come across them and you should be fine.
The book tells you. As you unlock exploration quests, it describes what ore spawns there. I had trouble finding infused ore in the vanilla forest, but was able to get some elsewhere. I forget exactly where. Try searching the thread to find out where they spawn.
That. Isn't. The. Problem.
1. None of the exploration quests tell me if there is infused ore there. It says if there's a "new ore" there, but nothing about infused. I've explored MANY caves and tunnels and dug several of my own in MANY MANY biomes and haven't found ANY.
2. The issue is that I'm unsure if ANY were created or if they were all deleted the first time I loaded the map. I just need the coords of an infused ore to see if they're all gone. If they are, I have to start all over.
eggs are for alot more than farm mobs, infact you really don't need to request eggs for farm mobs i found it easier to use the trick with cleared land
you can make a single player map and set it to hardcore questing mode, or creative, or use NEI, the map, mods and reward bags still work the same. you can get every other nether creature via spawn eggs except ghast, also catching a ghast and using a mfr spawner system to get however many tears you need is much preferable than spending harder to get reputation and waiting on repeated cool downs to get tears one at a time.
I've never used mob eggs anyway.
Setting a map to creative doesn't work (it just switches to survival when the map loads), NEI is set to recipe mode and can't be switched, so I can't use that either.
Clusters are craftable, get the shards from infused stone underground.
Okay, same issue then. I haven't found any infused ores so I don't know if they even generated. Could someone give me the coords of one to see if they even exist?
How'd you get to creative mode? Also, you can request ghast tears directly, so you don't need to spawn a ghast anyway. The mob spawn eggs are supposed to be to help you get cows, chickens, sheep, etc.
Bit of an issue with me. I suspect many of the crystal clusters may not have been created when I loaded the map. Could someone give me the coordinates to an order cluster to confirm that they're all really gone? I'd rather be sure before starting all over.
Have a small private server with IRL Friends now. We've only just realized the trees are melting. o.o
.... And we still havnt made it to the Swamp from the Beta camp. I keep insisting we need to send a team out there, then someone gets distracted messing with the smelter or fighting sheep XD
Our current issues revolve around trying to figure out what metals can actually be used to make Casts from the Smelter. I spent some time hunting for tutorials on how to use the smelter properly and several mention brass and aluminum mixtures to create casts... But none of the mixtures worked. Only Gold produced for the quest seems to allow us to make casts at all, which is a bit frustrating.
Gold ore (or gravel gold) and a mixture of alluminum and copper (called alluminiumbrass or angmallen) can be used to make casts. Though all you needed to do is look at the recipe for a cast in NEI.
When going to the swamp, all you really need is a boat and sprint to the water, ignoring any enemies along the way. The swamp makes a great base once you use the etherial blooms to clear the taint off of the island.
Anyone have any luck finding crystal shards? I found a few in the mystical forest, but I can't seem to locate any more. This has really limited my thaumcrafting.
It will finish starting up with the loading bar but the moment it does it sends me back to the technic launcher I checked the logs and it said something about a illegal action or something I think but anyways heres the link to it I think I have never used a hosting site before so soz if it no work
Plz tell me how to fix it I wanted to do a youtube series with my friend
I had a similar problem when trying to just load the thing. I changed from 32 bit java to 64 bit and allocated more ram to the launcher in the tekkit options. That solved the problem and made things less laggy.
Chances are you're running java in the background. Close your web browser and/or use task manager and look in processes to see if java is running. Once it's gone, try installing again.

Attempting to store netherwarts in caches now causes my game to crash.

The most recent update has caused the game to crash most of the time when I teleport or enter/exit the nether.

Yes! Thank you! Unfortunately, it seems my suspicions were correct; there was no ore there. Thanks for helping me confirm this though.
