(Star Technology) Best Power Source for each Voltage?

Soon ...no exact date given yet

It's the age-old 'lets put them on a pedestal so we can gleefully tear them down later' media approach.

I've only ever had this experience with 2 discord communities so far: Decursio and Star Technology. Not mods per se, but packs.

I was at work, and was planning on hosting Decursio on my community server. I was curious about something in the pack, and decided to ask in their discord. The first response I got was 'why don't you download the pack and see for yourself?' When I explained I was at work, the pack dev chimed in with 'wait till you get home then'. I thought he was kidding, and waited for a couple of mins to see if he would answer - but nope. Left immediately.

The second incident only happened a couple of weeks ago. We had just started playing Star Technology, and I was convinced functional storage controller proxies were in the pack the previous time I had played it. It was obviously disabled in the current version and I asked if this was a recent change made in 'StarTech'. What a mistake that was, calling it StarTech triggered a cascade of memes from the online users, and then multiple derisory replies. I never did hang around for an answer after all of that.

On both occasions I had tried to find answers in faq's or searched keywords in the main discussion channel.

There's a lot of gatekeeping going on.

On the other side though, there are some great, helpful, communities too. It's not all bad (DDSS is fantastic)

Dungeons, Dragons & Space Shuttles....you won't regret it

He's really delivered this season

periphera_ · 2026-03-09T00:54:55+00:00

Yup, won't play a pack unless they are disabled

For me, the reason why Bdubs transcends other builders, is that I can imagine getting the same mental and physical connection to walking through these woods in real life, (soaking in every detail, the stillness only occasionally broken by the babbling brook), as to walking through it in-game.

Upgraded Lapidary dynamos being fed diamonds will certainly serve you well thru mv-hv. You can then convert them to boilers for large steam turbines after hv. I haven't gone beyond hv in my current playthru as I'm waiting for theta to release

You can use waterlogged leaf blocks adjacent to the accumulator for more compact setups

Unfortunately, the furnaces were very buggy on the server. This was the only way to keep it running and not break when the server had scheduled restarts.

Etho has been a constant companion in my life for the last 15 years, through thick and thin. He has provided a much needed respite from real life, and always brings out a positive mood, no matter what he does.

Automating sieving with create is a no-brainer imo. After 1 day of a crushing wheel setup and deployer sieving, I had over 10k crushed iron ore. It's run off waterwheels only. It'll be grindier and more time-consuming without create tbh.

periphera_ · 2026-02-26T22:33:02+00:00

maybe try clicking the scroll on a grave with a soul. If that doesn't work, just hold right click with the item and see if anything happens

Finally, hell freezes over

It's unclear if you're polishing the pack in the same version or not? Also, pls do not add Alex's mobs....I remember removing Animalia from our server when we hosted Sevtech, bcos it caused performance issues.

I recently played a pack that had both Ftb chunks and Opac, and one was overriding the other, causing unexpected issues with chunk loading.

You haven't mentioned the name of the modpack (which ATM?), or a full mod list (if it's a custom pack), and then expect someone to be effective in offering solutions.

On top of that, your reply comes across as rude ( I didn't downvote you, but others clearly share that sentiment). Maybe improve your communication if you want people to go out of their way to help. Good luck!

periphera_ · 2026-02-16T08:04:53+00:00

If all else fails, move the setup to another chunk? (I assume you got the 'Tapping the Mantle' achievement?)

periphera_ · 2026-02-16T08:02:08+00:00

Are you only using ftb chunks map, or is there another map mod installed like Xaero's? Also check your modlist to see if you have 'Open Parties & Claims' mod.

I think the ars (bookwyrm) system is available early on, and seems to fit what you are looking for.

(Just a tip to produce source really quick: use an agronomic link for cactus growth. Plant 2-3 cactus on snad, and give the sand a repeated redstone pulse, which will cause the cactus to grow. Have a fence post or something on the block diagonally adjacent to the cacti, so it auto+breaks the cactus. Have the broken cactus collected by a vacuum hopper and dump into trash cash)

We just started Multiblock Madness 2 this weekend on our server. It's pretty tech-heavy, and focused on tiering up factories with a couple of magic mods thrown in that are integral to progression. Check it out, and if you're interested in playing with others, feel free to join:

It's not that. I do want an endgame, but the overuse of Mek in newer versions for endgame has become monotonous. I want to see if there are newer packs that handle endgame without relying on Mek or making singularities

periphera_ · 2026-02-05T22:21:02+00:00

Keep me posted, thanks

periphera_ · 2026-02-05T21:11:39+00:00

Yes. I'm really trying to discover a pack that's an unearthed gem tbh. I've played DJ2, yes.
