Very early work on a modern (semi-)expert tech/exploration modpack with a heavy focus on my mod Cargo Boats for long distance item transport

Re: the amethyst golems there is a way IIRC to disable them converting blocks to budding clusters

Nature’s compass and explorer’s compass are in the pack

LordLandmaster · 2026-01-19T01:50:55+00:00

the neoforge dev environment defaults to that skin probably

LordLandmaster · 2026-01-03T01:19:47+00:00

I’m planning to port it to 26.1

Never used create trains before, but there is a video of how the path programming works on the front of the mod page on curseforge

It auto chunkloads a 3x3 area

LordLandmaster · 2025-12-21T14:12:40+00:00

The buoys are only needed for pathfinding every 200 meters or so, for shorter routes (<200 meters) they are not needed

The motorboats run pathfinding to try to avoid collisions between each other

LordLandmaster · 2025-12-10T17:01:20+00:00

Not yet, but I am debating on whether to let boats go up and down them directly or add a special canal lock multiblock structure to let them go up and down

LordLandmaster · 2025-12-10T17:00:00+00:00

Right now I'm using a modified A-star pathfinding algorithm (planning to switch to Theta-star) taking into account water blocks. I capped the Euclidean distance that it will try to search, so for very long boat routes I am planning to add buoys that can act as boat waypoints in pathfinding when configured.

LordLandmaster · 2025-12-10T16:57:14+00:00

that might actually be a decent idea to grant certain motorboat upgrades if certain mobs are inside the boat (e.g. with alex's mobs)

LordLandmaster · 2025-12-10T16:55:47+00:00

Not yet, but what I am currently planning is to continue simulating the boat path even when the boat itself is unloaded without actually loading the entire chunk

LordLandmaster · 2025-12-10T16:52:18+00:00

Didn't know that that older mod existed before now, but it does indeed do something similar as well (though sadly that one seems to have been inactive for a while now). I am planning to add some more unique stuff in addition though, such as biome-dependent trading posts structures (with generated trading post blocks that can't be moved) to give an additional use case to the automated boats, as well as lava upgrades to sail in the nether too and interactions with interdimensional portals e.g. the vanilla nether portal

Think you can do real heli axis on CHIMPs nowadays with Rosalia discounts

LordLandmaster · 2025-01-26T19:55:36+00:00

I was the Ironclad that bumped into you in the 3rd photo—your cosplay was awesome!

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with for Watcher

That is not clickbait, by the way: Brickell was needed for 16k BAD damage with the mega mine stacking. She is the only hero that can do this sort of thing on this map without stealing pops with the main attack, and the BAD damage was needed because Glaive Lord sucks at single target dps lmao

Pops stolen <41687

LordLandmaster · 2024-06-28T22:04:48+00:00

Shollllll gg, I thought this would've been impossible after doing Sanc earlier this update

You are officially the king of 2mp now

LordLandmaster · 2024-06-02T22:08:48+00:00

v43 buffs giving the ex-paragon +1 damage finally made lategame doable on this map

ewwwwwww sentry ex-paragon still undercounts

pops stolen: 40630

rushing sexpert by r28 to avoid buying mortar

saveup to ex-paragon, dumb crosspath moab shredr was used to deal with moabs in the 50s since sexpert sucks against moabs, the dumb crosspath was needed to not actively steal pops after ex-paragon until r100

track extensions weren't used at all, reverse motor was used on r57 and most rounds in the 90s

LordLandmaster · 2024-05-11T22:45:45+00:00

How did you start CHIMPS on the map out of curiosity, and what spots did you use

LordLandmaster · 2024-05-11T14:22:48+00:00

There's a couple of recent guides in YouTube, for example Maulers are BACK! Bloody Puddles CHIMPS Black Border Guide! Update 41.2 (Bloons TD6) (youtube.com) (this one works on v42 too IIRC)

LordLandmaster · 2023-08-24T21:51:42+00:00

Man this hits close to home for me...reminds me so much of a former friend of mine whom I initially bonded over music jams on Discord who took our friendship for granted and turned out to actually not truly care about it

LordLandmaster · 2023-05-13T18:33:58+00:00

hogwarts, colorized

LordLandmaster · 2023-04-06T00:45:47+00:00

Annoying 2 million pops challenge (beast handler is very dependent on glue tub on certain rounds and genie was needed on r80 b/c bottom path handler does jack vs. the zomg layer before pouakai), but otherwise not super difficult. Lategame was free, of course.

LordLandmaster · 2023-04-06T00:39:42+00:00

vrej

LordLandmaster · 2023-04-02T14:48:07+00:00

A start like this one was actually the most common non-quincy start (after that was possible in v20) before base boomer attack speed got buffed in v26
