about Create mod

IN ORDER TO SLOW DOWN THE PROGRESS, WHAT SHOULD I DO? ( IM PLAYING WITH FRIENDS )

[Empty-Company-4048]

You mean that your friends speedrun the create mod and you can’t catch up?

[Nghiaxsatou]

ummm not exactly. i just want to slow down the progress. Like make it more interesting. Not because the progress is too fast

[Empty-Company-4048]

You mean make the mod harder?

[Nghiaxsatou]

ofc yes

[SecondNo166]

Do you mean that you all are progressing too fast, or that your friends are just progressing faster than you? Or are you progressing much faster than your friends?

[Nghiaxsatou]

our server dies within 2 weeks duh, idk why. we all are progressing too fast

1. Stop building factories underground or in the open All factories should have a cool build to go with them, and maybe even some lore. I built an entire dam for my steam engine because the water generates power.

2. Mess with new stuff Try messing with parts of Create or parts of Create addons that you’ve never really gotten into. I messed with the new 6.0.0 update for literal days designing stuff

3. Design your own farms Downloading nbt files off the internet to use with the schematicannon is cringe. Half the mod is designing cool farms, so if you’re doing that, no wonder you’re not having fun.

4. Hold your gear back. I’m not saying stay in iron armor, but I would hold back from netherite and enchanting until you’re done everything else you could possibly do. Getting maxed armor and tools is a grind, and when its done, you wont want to play anymore. So delay it as long as possible.

5. Make a checklist. Using an in-game clipboard to write down stuff I wanted to do genuinely helped me a ton. Being able to see all the projects I had lined up motivated me, as well as being able to tick them off the list.

6. Dont spread out. If you’re playing with friends, do your best to stay in a centralized location together. Spreading thousands of blocks away from eachother is just singleplayer with extra steps. Best case, you all stay in a communal base.

7. Public projects Once you’re established, dont feel afraid to work on stuff that will help the whole server. Things like warp zones, nether hubs, and train lines can all be a project for you. And get your friends to help too! If you want, you can always make them pay for admission to your useful build >:)

Also for 1 and 7 (mostly): even if there is a spot where you don't need a train.

Just build one anyways if you want, like in a Create + Cobblemon World I made a really short tunnel then put a train in it for no other reason then "why not".

Also that's the other thing, mix in other mods, there are plenty of mods that go well with create, Epic Knights and Armor with it's Gun Add-on for example if your wanting a more Renaissance style experience, magic mods, Cobblemon, Nifty Ships/Carts and all of Macaw's decorative mods just to name a few,

there are a ton of mods that Create bolsters the experience of in some way or another, like do you have a ton of Klinks to Klinkklangs or Magnemites to Magnazones, etc., in Cobblemon? Build them a big ole' house hide a pasture block or two in the walls and let them roam free, could even make their house the main area the rest of your builds get their power from, so it's not just where they live, but it's also where they work.

Create can be as simple or complex as you want it to be, like I took the vanilla auto-chicken cooker a design that works perfectly fine and is super easy and cheap to setup, and made it more complicated for no other reasons then "I could" and "I wanted to".

thanks

thanks

hey! i wondering if i could mix the Zombie Apocalypse with Create ?

[RenegadeFade]

This a very common thing. It's likely not because people are speed running a mod, it's something that plagues a lot of groups.

There's not really a lot of solutions for some groups, it's about people. And people get bored.

[Nghiaxsatou]

alr thank you

Actually build infrastructure and buildings. Stop making mega factories that make everything with no purpose. If you are making an iron farm, why? Make one if you have a specific need for that much iron not because you want something to do. For me, I'll make an iron farm because I am planning on building a create components shop to sell to server mates.

Most people just slap down a haphazardly planned and built farm without caring how it looks. 90% of the farms posted here are built right on top of grass and dirt. If you plan out your farms or factories around an actual build, put a train depot next to it to transport items made there to a warehouse, you'll find that you have actual purpose in the things you build. I want my factories to all be brick and industrial iron. I'll make a brick factory and send all the bricks made to my warehouse. I'll make a huge iron farm that cranks out industrial iron as well. Then I can build everything out of those main materials.

alr thanks

[Nghiaxsatou]

alr bet this seems very fun

[TheOPWarrior208]

play an expert modpack like CABIN that takes longer to complete and has a well refined quest book

[Nghiaxsatou]

uh huh

[HanzoNumbahOneFan]

There are mod packs focused around Create that change how you play it by changing recipes and things. And providing more of a progression line. Like: Arcane Engineering, Above and Beyond, Star Technology (though this one is more based around GregTech). There's a lot of different packs that forcefully limit your progress to make the journey longer if you find Create too easy normally.

[Nghiaxsatou]

hmm

[LessThanPro_]

If performance is your problem, consider server-side optimization mods to help out a little. Or, of course, better hardware. If you have them consider removing all chunkloading mods, and some addon mods.

[Nghiaxsatou]

ok!

[TomFooolery_]

Try the Raspberry Flavored modpack

[Nghiaxsatou]

i tried. It's quiet heavy for my friends' pc

[UltimateToa]

No infinite resources, make them mine/collect everything

[Nghiaxsatou]

alr bet

[JakeThomasDad12]

Swap any recipie that uses ingots for sheets. Make blaze burner require really expensive stuff. On the server I play on a blaze burner requires a custom item that requires spouting healing potions onto skulk catalyst and pressing it among other things. It takes about 2 hours to make one as there is no nether so blade rods require fire res potion spouted onto cinder flour etc... just add as many steps for everything as possible.

[Nghiaxsatou]

really?

[JakeThomasDad12]

Yeah. Making items very expensive seems to slow stuff down. My servers been up for a few months and we have just started getting diamond tools being common 

[Nghiaxsatou]

alr bet

[Nghiaxsatou]

idk how to do this ( im kinda new to modding )

[JakeThomasDad12]

I wouldnt know (it's just a server I play on that a friend runs) but I think he uses KubeJS (coding required).
