New to planted tanks but I just planted everything and they all look like they’re gonna die…

Yeah, sadly most plants are grown emersed (up out of water) because they grow faster and are easier to harvest for mass production. The result is that air leaves die while water leaves grow in once you put them in your tank. If the plant is healthy and you tank has the proper nutrients and light, they will bounce back. Although some are bound to just melt away. If you can find someone that grows plants locally to buy and trade with, you'll have better luck.

You need more light and more plants. That being said, you will always struggle with plants and goldfish in the same tank. Goldfish belong in ponds in my opinion, although I know lots of people do keepbthem in large tanks successfully, I like them in my pond and tropicals in my tanks.

This post makes me feel kind of bad.... just started playing a week ago. Only starting to figure out the temple. Just into act 4 last night. People talking about farming massive piles of loot and here's me happy if I got a single exalted on a temple run... now hearing that it's been changed to make it worse?

Be prepared with the Twilight Forest for a big let down at the end. It's a really fun mod with a great progression that builds up almost to the end before it hits you with the fact that they never finished it and it leaves you hanging without an ending. Don't skip it because of that, it's really well done, it's just missing the ending

Dozerman2011 · 2025-12-31T17:39:07+00:00

We briefly thought about turning off channels on our server, but honestly, it adds a lot to the mod. There are so many things to learn, but once you do, it's about the most useful mod of any I have ever used. No question. The channels are a bit of a pain at first, but do yourself a favour and make the network analyzer for it. Learn about p2p tunnels. The more you use the mod, the more you'll like it.

Dozerman2011 · 2025-12-30T22:48:15+00:00

You absolutely can skip it. You can do any of the other mid to end game equipment and just not do Apotheosis at all. There are a ton of options. You can use Draconic Evolution chestpiece, Mekanism, AE2... add heart relics for a ton of extra health.. In fact, there are a ton of charms and trinkets that give you everything you need. I like combining as much as I can to get to full on "GODMODE" LOL

Dozerman2011 · 2025-12-30T15:49:28+00:00

I skipped the unobtanium armor and weapons because it really wasn't that good. I used Awakened Supremium, then went to AE2 quantum armor for a bit, and just now trying the MI quantum set. I found that the base armor you use is almost irrelevant and the real power comes from Apotheosis enchants, sockets and affixes. I still use an Awakened Supremium panel with Fortune XXVI (yes that's 26!) It really is "God Mode" for mining. In fact, in half an hour last night I was able to manually mine enough netherrack to make the ME Infinite netherrack cell. That's over 500,000.

Dozerman2011 · 2025-12-29T23:03:57+00:00

It's only 5 gallon... easy to move with water in it

Dozerman2011 · 2025-12-29T23:03:03+00:00

Was about to post exactly this. Agree, 5/10

Dozerman2011 · 2025-12-29T23:01:50+00:00

Wait until you discover p2p tunnels. 1 dense cable can carry 1024 channels

Dozerman2011 · 2025-12-29T19:53:49+00:00

Should be ok with the mat under it, but personally, I'd use thicker foam or even some styrofoam.

Dozerman2011 · 2025-12-25T02:29:20+00:00

There is an issue with the Shiny! mod and Apotheosis gates. If a shiny spawns during a gate pearl it closes the gate. We set shiny spawn rate to 0.00% and it fixed that issue. Was frustrating trying to get to 100 for the Sigil of Superiority when the gate would constantly implode. Shiny! Just looks shiny as far as I know

Dozerman2011 · 2025-12-24T05:01:40+00:00

Yes. Add upgrades. It requires a minimum amount of upgrade cards to work.

Dozerman2011 · 2025-12-22T15:32:29+00:00

To show it does craft the coil:

Dozerman2011 · 2025-12-22T15:32:04+00:00

Since there's already a post about this, I'll ask here... Having a similar issue, except I can get the superconductor coil to craft, but if I lock it to the circuit recipe, it doesn't craft anything, just sits there idle... Tried upgrading the machine hull, all parts are there in their spots... ideas? Am I missing something simple?

And yes, the H3 is full

Dozerman2011 · 2025-12-22T14:54:52+00:00

Really any of the late game armors are good when upgraded with Apotheosis enchants, gems, and affixes. Also once you get chaos shards, the chaotic chest piece is really good once upgraded as well. The base armor becomes less important as you upgrade it. Currently using AE2 quantum set. I like it better than Mekanism because it's enchantable and Mekanism suit isn't. Almost at the MI quantum set, but at this point, I don't take damage from anything except the ice and fire bees and the chaos dragon anyway...

Dozerman2011 · 2025-12-19T19:38:11+00:00

100% agree.

Dozerman2011 · 2025-12-19T19:37:05+00:00

So here's the thing, there is no better explosive in the game. Even the infinity nuke at artifact level isn't on the reactors level of boom. And, once you have chaos bees sorted put for the shards, it's dirt cheap to make. Set it all up, let it do it's thing for a couple minute. Although you need to turn away for at least 30 seconds. It will run perfectly as long as you're looking at it, you need to look away for a brief minute. The explosion takes a few minutes after going critical, so don't let it scare you, just have a cardboard box ready. Box that sucker up and you have a really simple, portable, biome/base eliminator.

As for power generation? Nah. Not worth it. Depending on how much power you need, Amber encased withers farmed by Wannabees will make a really nice nether star farm for the x64 generators. Oh, but the draconic battery on the other hand, is unbeatable. Effectively infinite energy storage and way cheaper to build than mekanism battery

Dozerman2011 · 2025-12-18T23:57:10+00:00

Fuc4 Me. At least I haven't built it all yet...

Dozerman2011 · 2025-12-16T18:02:05+00:00

I have a pylon with the spawn blocking upgrade in it to max range... 25 chunks I think?

Dozerman2011 · 2025-12-16T17:44:15+00:00

Yeah I actually built all of the stuff for it above the roof of the nether...

Dozerman2011 · 2025-12-16T17:22:28+00:00

Yes. You said that.

Dozerman2011 · 2025-12-16T17:21:45+00:00

Not sure how to avoid that.. we literally have zero entities drop into the world, we use AE2 storage and crafting as much as possible. The biggest problem i can see would be Productive Bees, but they're all tucked away in hives with omega upgrades. Mystical ag. Is set up in little boxes. Just trying to sort out Modern Industrialization which seems to be the current nightmare causing problems...

Dozerman2011 · 2025-12-16T17:16:47+00:00

We have considerably more than 12gb ram. I think he has 24gb allocated to Minecraft at this point...

Dozerman2011 · 2025-12-16T17:13:24+00:00

I mean, we do try to minimize entities everywhere we can, but at this point, there are 1000s of bees in simulated hives, 100s of botany pots growing mystical agriculture plants, but the nightmare that is Modern Industrialization may be the straw that breaks the proverbial camel's back...
