GrammieFi posted a message on Ready for Realms? It's Here!Posted in: NewsQuote from Sacheverell
Hold on to your hats, Mojang just unveiled Minecraft Realms in North America!
... <snip> ...
Minecraft Realms is currently available in Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, Croatia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Great Britain, Greece, Greenland, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Israel, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Mexico, North America, Norway, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Africa, Sweden, The Åland Islands, The Cayman Islands, The Faroe Islands, The Isle of Man, The Netherlands, The United Kingdom, and The United Arab Emirates.
You guys might want to take geography lessons. Either that or hide from Canadians and Mexicans. Last time I checked, Canada and Mexico were part of North America. So are the other countries I bolded there. North America =/= The United States.
Quote from Is Mexico part of North America »North America, the planet’s 3rd largest continent, includes (23) countries and dozens of possessions and territories. It contains all Caribbean and Central America countries, Canada, Mexico, the United States of America, as well as Greenland - the world’s largest island.
I'm not going to point out that the United Kingdom includes Great Britain, Ireland, and the Isle of Man. (yes, I am too. Really, Mojang.)
And those are only the ones I know off the top of my head.
Even though you suck at geography, I still am interested in checking Realms out. Maybe. Anyway, I'm glad it's available. -

GrammieFi posted a message on Wednesday With Sach: What Is Minecraft, and What About...My first thought on reading your question was, "What is minecraft to me? Addicting."Posted in: News
But why? Part of that is because it's so open ended. As you said, there's no wrong way to play, so the game is endlessly new. Today I may build a giant castle in creative. Tomorrow I may open a map pack and see how far I get. It's endlessly new, limited only by my imagination.
One of the things that has been gaining my attention lately though, is that minecraft has potential as a creative tool for teaching organized thinking skills. Minecraft may be a very good tool to challenge people with a task to complete, and get them to think about how to get from here to there, goal-wise. It seems to me that young people are seldom taught how to do this. It's a valuable life lesson. -

GrammieFi posted a message on Modpack Spotlight - Agrarian SkiesI'm about halfway through the introductory quests. It's my first skyblock and I'm having a great time. This is well done, so thanks, Jaded. The quest system is marvelous and the combination of mods included works well together. It's obvious that Jaded and her team put a lot of thought and time into creating this.Posted in: News
A word of warning: the "reward bags" appear to be mostly tongue-in-cheek. You can get everything you need to complete the quests other ways though, so don't be concerned if you don't get anything useful. -

First of all, I predate the internet. Odd, I know. However, it got started without me, as we were so busy raising all those youngun's we didn't have money to play about with computers, though I was always interested.
Back in 1996 however, our oldest youngun' went off to college. During the first part of her second year she bought a PC. When she came home on breaks she'd bring it, and she got us involved in something called "MUD"s. Some of you probably remember those. Text based multi-user dungeons games.
My first character was named Fiona. Just that. No numbers needed or anything. Because, you know, the internetz wuz young and all the good names weren't taken yet. I played that MUD for quite a long time - a couple years at least. Even when I finally moved on though, all my characters in any game or forum had a name based on Fiona. I usually can't just get Fiona, of course. All the good, simple names are taken.
This brings us to December of 2011, when I bought minecraft. My granddaughter was coming for Christmas and she's a minecraft addict, so her mom and dad suggested that I look into the game. They thought I might like it too. They were right! When I registered my game, I chose Grammie, because I am Grammie, and Fi because of Fiona. So, GrammieFi. (Fi rhymes with fee...)
I wish I'd chosen a bit differently though, because on Teamspeak or Mumble they tend to call me Grammie Fi. (rhymes with eye) I'm not a marine, or even was a marine. Or ever will be for that matter. No semper fi for me. - To post a comment, please login.

You need Ex Astris.

Sounds interesting. It might also be interesting if planting A next to B would have a chance of cross breeding. Maybe essence seeds still drop when you break grass. You plant an essence seed next to a vanilla potato, put a water source block directly beneath the dirt the essence seed is planted in and it has a chance to mutate to a water essence seed and a smaller chance to mutate to an earth essence seed. And an earth seed planted on top of a block of iron and next to a fire seed might mutate to iron or tin. And so on, with the seeds progressing through to emerald and diamond seeds being the top of the mutation chain. Something like that.

If you read Thaumcraft's thread, it is some interaction between Forge and the newest Thaumcraft. They're working on it.

I'm waiting myself to update Thaumcraft because I saw there was a problem before I had time to do that. Yay for reading forums.

general { <snip> # This setting will disable certain thaumcraft shaders for those who experience FPS drops. B:shaders=trueThe config option for the thaumcraft shaders looks like this. Set that to false.

It's a known bug in the current version. Most of us use Minetweaker to fix it temporarily. I'm not remembering how much the recipe is supposed to yield but the minetweaker script was posted in the thread somewhere. (if only I could remember who posted it, but my memory is unreliable at best.)

Two things. One, I thought you were going to skip 1.8. We really don't want you having nightmares.
Two, one thing about polls is that the people most likely to respond are your regular users who already love everything about the mod. You're less likely to get people to vote who've tried the mod briefly and found it too <whatever> and left. Therefore, your polls are going to be skewed heavily toward the status quo.
I voted "too many aspects" though the actual number of them isn't a problem, but there are several with very little use. There are a few that are difficult to come by. There are a few that are over-used in research or over-used in building higher tiers of research points. (Humanis anyone?)
The research process can get tedious. The first time I did it it was fun. The second time it was ok. After that, even though it uses more research points, I tend to choose "easy" on the research difficulty.

I haven't tried the new buildcraft with the bots, but I did see them doing some farming in one of the let's play's I've seen. I don't remember which one, sadly. But it may be worth a try.

I have no idea. I didn't try it with other non-vanilla mod crops, but I have a vague recollection that it doesn't work with any but vanilla.

Tried it with the latest versions that I could find. Didn't work. The cart won't pick up the magical crop seeds.

Someone may flame me if I've misunderstood what this does, but there's a config option:
"B:enablesaltfromwaterbucketrecipe=true" - I think if you set this to false they can't turn water into salt anymore. It would mean that they'd have to mine all the salt they use.

Yes, it works. The biggest problem I've run into is having small patches of different crops in one field. My harvest golems don't always plant what they harvested, but instead grab the nearest seed. This can result in your fields slowly converting to one thing.
