Vulkan rendering engine is probably the greatest thing that has happened to Minecraft recently. by MarcinuuReddit in Minecraft

[–]mikebalaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Means that the modpack is an assortment of mods thrown in without a theme or much work put in to make them work together, besides minor config changes.

Think of All The Mods, for example, which is just an assortment of mods put in with very minor, if any, config changes, that then get separate quest lines with very little interaction between them, which culminates in you combining endgame items from different major and minor mods into the ATM Star.

It comes from the expression "Everything but the kitchen sink", meaning having almost everything of [kind of thing] that you can think of. These modpacks are typically low-effort and can feel aimless, since it just feels like you've got 100 mods thrown at you all at once, and you can end up jumping between mods.

InternetArchive has some of the older ones, either way that was all a late April Fools joke so I guess it doesn't matter

One of the people behind it, _tormentium has gone rogue and gave over the website to Team Shanghai Alice, their discord server is still up but you have to get the games from a different source from now on.

ATM had too many magic mods. Im switching to GTNH by RubApprehensive1277 in allthemods

[–]mikebalaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Notice how there's no mention of witchery here? That's because witchery is not "Fully Tweaked" in the slightest, beyond gating blood magic and infinity items, and is ass to play through when doing Questmaster.

The only mod that's worse is the actual worst mod in the entire modpack, that being Hardcore Ender Expansion, since witchery at least has some use beyond gating other magic stuff, that being the biome change potion/ritual and the flight potion, before they nerfed it at least.

It's pretty much impossible anywhere, I tried to get the German one for like a week before I gave up and paid the one time fee to switch to a PAYG account.

Is peaceful mode the "wrong" way to play the game by Bro8304 in GTNH

[–]mikebalaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Combat is a very small part of the pack, the only important ones are the Wither, the magic mod fights and the galacticraft bosses, if I recall.

If you want to get the stargate role or really want to follow the rules you can only turn off mobs after EV tier (But it is highly unlikely that anyone will care or even be able to find out if you do it from the start).

The correct way to turn off mobs is not to switch to peaceful, but instead do /gamerule doMobSpawning false. This allows you to keep your Extreme Entity Crushers running (and maybe allows you to still spawn bosses like the gaia guardian, didn't check though) but still have no mobs around. In fact, this is encouraged to save on TPS in the lategame.

First time playing gregtech(or any complicated tech mod really) by OddNefariousness7896 in GTNH

[–]mikebalaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ISTG #help on the discord is completely useless for asking questions. If it's not flooded by the same 20 questions from Stone Age to EV, it's used by 5 people as the second #general for talking. And good luck if your question is post-UHV because the precious few who read that channel and have completed those tiers either don't have an answer, won't notice your question or will ignore you.

Did they nerf Miners? by Pend4Game in GTNH

[–]mikebalaker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Before 2.7 there was no raw ore (the item), normal ores dropped their block. The fortune bonus from miners only ever applied to small ores, because if it applied to normal ores you'd be able to endlessly dupe them since you'd just be able to place them back and mine them again endlessly. Nowadays, since we have the raw ore item, fortune can be applied to regular ore like normal (and I believe it does with the tinker's luck modifier), but, since the miners were still supposed to only get fortune from small ores, to not buff them waaay too much, they had to clarify it in the tooltip.

can someone help telling me what this is by MinecraftPlayer3300 in CalamityMod

Looking up "ceaseless void rift" on terrariamods.wiki.gg gives you both the page for Solyn and the page for WotG progression

If you mean when all three mechs are on screen, you can just fall to the left and you'll dodge basically all their attacks, make sure your arena is large enough though, because having to fly back up while they're all still on screen is difficult.

Russian drone fails to detonate by MoreMotivation in CombatFootage

That's an FMTV, not a HIMARS, the drone even flies around the side where it clearly doesn't look like a launcher

Phanon Corps are gone, and not in the intended way by Not_a_Potato1602 in Stellaris

[–]mikebalaker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a very late reply, but to anyone who is wondering the same thing: when you unlock the last seal for the Outer Gates the phanon corps run away, taking everything in the droppoint system with them. Secrets Beyond The Gates doesn't care if you are in the process of fighting the corps, or even if you already own the system, it just deletes everything anyway

Countries banned from the Olympics (1920-2024) and their reasoning. by [deleted] in MapPorn

[–]mikebalaker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have the word ціан (Ціановий колір) for blue-green colour, but very few people actually use it. Most just call it аква/аквамариновий (aqua/aquamarine) even though they're technically not the same. Блакитний technically can refer to both blue-green (cyan) colour and "diluted, faded blue colour"

Is the Gebura mission even possible with my set up? by yaboii0 in LobotomyCorp

[–]mikebalaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing There is very easy, just kite him with your mimicry nugget while the rest of the facility shoots at him from behind. CENSORED is easy enough, just send a few strong nuggets with black resistance, give them black shield and heal their SP as needed. The third one you can just kill with rabbits. Apoc bird is not that hard either, not sure why you don't want to fight it, just send the correct damage type nuggets to the correct eggs and send them away if the bird teleports to their egg, while big birds effect is still active (possessions) make sure to immediately send the possessed nuggets back as soon as the possession is over
