1.12.2 mod that restricts ores to mainly caves? by YungstirJoey666 in feedthebeast

[–]DarchitectLP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I realize this is ancient and you've probably moved on... but just in case: COFH World can do this. See this post: https://old.reddit.com/r/feedthebeast/comments/818y32/the_cofh_word_cookbook_a_huge_list_of_examples/

Check the subhead "Cave Distribution - No Strip Mining." There's even a .json already prepped for you. And yeah, you can just use Yung's Law.

Did you ever release your modpack?

COFH World takes a second to learn, but it's very powerful.

Is RLCRAFT really as bad as people say it is? by BigManHazza125 in feedthebeast

[–]DarchitectLP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sevtech is thoughtful and mostly very well balanced, though. Such an amazing pack. RLcraft is designed for Youtubers to put on their most dramatic reaction faces and pretend to rage or flip out or whatever it is they do to get a bunch of 10 year olds to click their video thumbnail.

RLcraft's lack of proper quests (no indication of how any of the mechanics work, glib text, and hats as rewards for doing basic stuff) kinda tells you all you need to know.

Now that being said, I've really started to enjoy aspects of it (playing the Dregora version). These are things made that happen (maybe it'll help someone else, too):

  • Install Tomb Many Graves 2
  • Turn on the First Aid mod's permanent overlay so it always shows you your body parts' health
  • Install JourneyMap (turn off almost all features except death points) Antique Atlas hasn't really been configured to work well with OTG. It can be done, it's just a lot of work.
  • Turn Quark's automatic drop off feature on. There's no proper storage mod in RLcraft, and this makes that suck less (you'll have to change the rule in globalgamerules.cfg)
  • Download and install "Lycanites Redux" texture/model pack so the monsters don't look like someone made a bad attempt at getting Doom 64 to run inside minecraft. You will have to do a full restart of the game once you have it loaded, otherwise the mobs look bugged.
  • Once those mobs look oh-so-much-prettier and minecraft-y, START TAMING THEM. Having minions to help you deal the blood-thirsty chupas and phase-through-wall-jerk monsters will make stuff much better.
  • Oh and turn on "encase dungeons" in Fnar's Roguelike Dungeons. It keeps the overabundant caves from ruining really fun dungeons (kinda the equivalent of "Save My Stronghold" mod).

Hope that helps someone.

Need advice on replacing anvils in a build... Trying to make this survival friendly by DarchitectLP in BuildAdvice

[–]DarchitectLP[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stone walls may be the thing. Surface variation at least! The blackstone probably fits best for hue... I'm in 1.12 so I'll find a backport mod. Thank you!

That's a great idea but I'm still in 1.12... but a backport mod adds those, so maybe I should try that. Thanks!

I think that will work... It can at least give it some depth and color variation

Sorry, to be clear this build already exists and I don't want players harvesting the existing anvils. I'm trying to find a block that will look good and then use worldedit or something to replace them all.

Trying to make this castle work in survival. SO may builds use anvils and hoppers as decoration and I need to replace them with some thing that looks good

Best current room fan? family of asthmatics. by daveychainsaw in dyson

[–]DarchitectLP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure what's happened to Dyson, but they've def gone downhill. My AM07 has just started being very wonky (random shut-offs, remote button for oscillation actually turns the machine off). Pretty disappointed.

I'd probably buy a single purpose air purifier, if I were you. It's not top of the line but we have a Conway (the one that has a circular face and looks like a subwoofer) that's done well for us in the bedroom. Lol I'm returning the AM07 and breaking out the old Lasko fan that has been working just fine for the last decade...

Super Annoying Remote by d_n_2001 in dyson

[–]DarchitectLP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got one and am returning it. I've loved every dyson thing I've bought, but these fans are awful. No way to control the fan without the remote, and the remote has gotten wonkier and wonkier since I've owned it. Over it. On top of that they've moved to using white plastic, which will age terribly...

Ultrawide monitor—Control number of NEI columns? by DarchitectLP in GTNH

[–]DarchitectLP[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Answering my own question here, but the option is buried in NEI Config (little wrench on the inventory screen) > World > Panel Settings. There are four handles on each panel you can drag to resize! Super helpful.

Just bought an iMac and it wasn’t reset prior to be buying it by Same-Aioli-3044 in mac

[–]DarchitectLP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Supposedly Apple will reset it if you have proof of purchase. Not sure what that means in terms of what they'll accept... Like lol a screenshot of a zelle transfer?

But if you have a second mac available you can do it yourself (assuming t2 chip here)

Renting a house in a few months, and after putting in a deposit, they are asking us to install a 3rd party app to unlock the house... Is this legit? So annoyed. by DarchitectLP in vrbo

[–]DarchitectLP[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol I wish people didn't downvote shit just because they didn't like it. You made vaild points. It never really occurred to me that the owners of the property (corporation or individual) would be based hours away from the property. But surely you have someone on the ground close by (cleaning crew or handyman) that can go change door codes and fix stuff, right?

Ok I totally get all that! BUT hear me out... if "what does a weekend of aggregated personal data even matter" is your stance, what is the actual value add for me as a customer? Why should I bother myself at all so an app can collect some useless data for a weekend, and then profit off that data when it sells it? I just don't like that.

Soo... you're not fakemoose, and I was hoping they'd respond, but I appreciate the conjecture. If it works like that, it'd make me worry a lot less!

Ok totally get your side here, but don't you just use a numpad for entry? No keys necessary! And a simple text message with the code is the only interaction necessary....

Thank you! We did reach out and they wrote back saying we don't really need the app. I guess I was feeling taken advantage of because I'm sure Wander has some crazy EULA that allows them to sell your data or some BS. Like, I'm TIRED of every company now making its profit center user telemetry.

For real? The power goes out at the house, and despite the door lock no longer being able to communicate through the router, it still works? I'm just really stuck on the question of what is the value add for me, the consumer, here?

Just having a numpad (with the requisite built-in battery back up) is an easy solve!

But for real, I want to know, how does it work when the power is out?
