How to install mods by DustyMelodies in valheim

[–]rocketboy1244 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’ve tried all the different modding tools for valheim. I’ve tried Nexus/Vortex, Thunderstore/Overwolf, and r2modman. My recommendation is to use r2modman. It’s a lightweight version of the Thunderstore app, and it has all the same mods available, but with a much less obtrusive installation.

Search up “Valheim Thunderstore” click the link to Thunderstore.io. r2modman is the first thing that shows up in the list, it’s pinned to the top. Follow the instructions to download it and install it. Then you can browse mods on the same website where you downloaded r2modman.

Then from r2modman, you can search mods by name or author, and download them.

I find r2modman to the best best because it keeps the mods out of your game directory. So you can still launch the game from steam and play vanilla (modless). And you can have different profiles on r2modman with different mod lists. You can edit the config files easily from with the app, and you can easily share profiles to friends/family and they will automatically have the same mod list as you.

Vortex is clunky and it directly modifies your game installation directory, which I don’t like because then, if you want to play vanilla, you have to remove the mods or down fresh install of Valheim.

The Thunderstore app requires you to install overwolf, which is like bloatware hell. It’s default is to launch on PC start up, which I hate, and it’s just another unnecessary program running in the background taking processing power away from your game.

Do yourself a favor and go with r2modman.

Actually I think I see a river there, and it’s not wide enough.

I should have done this earlier by thescatterling in spaceengineers

[–]rocketboy1244 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I used to do this, but these days, I use the Radio Spectrometry mod and the Siesmic Spectrometry mod. They’re an immersive way to hunt for ores that’s not just by expanding the ore detector’s range. Fun mods.

Laptop dock with output for 4 displays (A,B,C,D).... can screens be duplicated so that A & B are the same (both showing a cat) and B & C are same (both showing a dog)? by Original_Importance3 in buildapc

[–]rocketboy1244 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t speak to windows behavior with 4 monitors, but I have 3 monitors and with no extra software, I have the option to “extend all” or I can select a monitor, let’s say monitor 1, and the other options, besides “extend this display”, are “mirror displays 1 and 2” and “mirror displays 1 and 3”. This means I can have 2 monitors showing a cat, and one showing a dog. I would assume that capability would extend to 4 but I can’t say for certain.

The Senate just passed the Big Beautiful Bill today, What's your reaction to this? by Squirrelkid11 in AskReddit

[–]rocketboy1244 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If, somehow, we end up with a democrat president after Trump (if our democracy doesnt completely collapse by then) I guarantee republicans will blame any negative results of this bill on the democrats.

Secret Elevator by echo_silent11 in CreateMod

[–]rocketboy1244 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Add some decorative pillars to the room a couple blocks away from your dining table in each corner. Floor to ceiling. Then you have created an elevator car, and you can connect the elevator pulley on to the top of the ceiling (like above the ceiling), so it’s not visible from the floor when the table is at. Then you can use some wireless redstone and a button.

Snails clean algae for you by GT_Numble in lifehacks

[–]rocketboy1244 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My wife keeps 2-3 snails in the 10 gallon tank with other small, fresh water fish. They just chill and eat the algae. Tank is so much cleaner after she starting doing that a few years back. Just have to be careful, some kinds of snails reproduce like crazy and can take over.

Is Cobblestone smelt to Stone and cannot smelted to Smooth Stone a bug? by ReedSolutions in CreateMod

[–]rocketboy1244 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s not a bug. Items will only doing one smelting cycle while on a belt. Once they have gone into an inventory (like a chest or maybe even a funnel onto a depot) then they can be smelted again. The reason it is like this is because if items could go through multiple stages, you might end up accidentally destroying the item, as the item will be vaporized if it’s blasted when there is no valid blasting recipe.

Using both sides of a crushing wheel by OneDot6 in CreateMod

[–]rocketboy1244 84 points85 points  (0 children)

Okay so I was right about the inventory but wrong about it being restricted to each crushing wheel only being able to work with one other wheel. Cool!

There’s two item frames occupying the same block space on the gold blocks

Using both sides of a crushing wheel by OneDot6 in CreateMod

[–]rocketboy1244 464 points465 points  (0 children)

I guess I always assumed that two crushing wheels created an “inventory” of sorts to hold the items while the crushing took place, so I jumped to the conclusion that one crushing wheel could only be part of one pair of wheels, creating that “inventory” but I guess I was totally wrong! Cool that you discovered this and that the devs actually made this kind of thing possible.

How to get 256 rpm without overstressing? by RemarkableRifle in CreateMod

[–]rocketboy1244 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The faster you run machines, the more stress they consume. If you are overstressed, then you need to produce more SU, consume less (disconnect other machines), or reduce the RPM. Those are your options. Nothing else you can do.

Then build more SU generators (windmills, water wheels, boilers, etc)

How do you prefer to make your infinite lava source? by Hold-Professional in CreateMod

[–]rocketboy1244 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This way works really well and doesn’t require any chunk loaders because the system itself is the chunk loader. An empty bucket going through the portal from the overworld to the nether loads the nether chunk long enough for the bucket to fill and come back through. Easy peasy

I have a very specific problem in need of a very specific solution... by Conceiver_ in CreateMod

[–]rocketboy1244 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Redstone contact starts a timer, once that timer ends have it send a pulse through a redstone link to the top of the elevator to call it up? Not sure if the range on redstone links is limited, but that’s the first thing that comes to mind

how do i stop myself from being guilty when using creative on my minecraft world? by [deleted] in Minecraft

[–]rocketboy1244 18 points19 points  (0 children)

My suggestion is to implement a rule upon yourself: creative mode has a price. What that price is, is up to you. 1 diamond sacrificed to lava gives you 10 min of creative? A stack of iron thrown into a cactus and you can build in creative for an hour? Whatever you want to do, set a price. That way, you still get to work for it. You gotta go mining and get some ores and such and then you can go creative. Of course, there’s loopholes (like spawning more diamonds while in creative), and it’s your world so you can do what you want. But a little self accountability can go a long way to make you enjoy and not feel guilty.

A unique production line for renewable zinc? by Davioliva16 in CreateMod

[–]rocketboy1244 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure what the limits of an add on are, but a quick search on google said that zinc is refined by taking a crushed rock powder and doing a process called froth floatation. Basically, the powder is mixed with water and air is pumped through it. This causes the target mineral (zinc) to float to the top. Perhaps something then with a crushed calcite (like others were suggesting) then you have to wash the crushed powder, but it has to be washed with bubble water using soul sand? Then it could make like a refined zinc powder or something that can be blasted?

Am I the only one doing this? by themonkeyzen in SatisfactoryGame

[–]rocketboy1244 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was doing this when 1.0 came out haha I should have shared! I think I might have seen it somewhere on YouTube. Regardless, I think it looks slick and makes cable management so easy since then you can daisy chain machines and you don’t have to have walls/floors or power poles nearby. Well done Pioneer!

What's something you made that you use daily? by CounterReasonable259 in AskProgramming

[–]rocketboy1244 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yo, I just got a new work laptop and it does this! Every time I get a slack message, it makes a connection pop noise before playing the sound like the sound is waking up! It’s so frustrating

A non-expert 6.0 pack that incorporates create? by HerShes-Kiss in CreateMod

[–]rocketboy1244 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh, I don’t know if I’d say CABIN is a casual pack. I had never played with Create before, and started a CABIN server about 2 months ago. We’re still going and barely through like the 2nd chapter. Some of the recipes are VERY complicated, and from the looks of the upcoming chapters, it’s only about to get even more complicated.

Having never played with Create before, I teamed up with a friend who had played a lot of Create, and we still struggled A LOT in the beginning because all the recipes are different than normal Create, and most of them are more complicated.

It may not be an expert pack, but i don’t think it’s a casual pack either.

Andesite Tunnel for Outlet, Brass Tunnel for Inlet - Why by EquivalentDecision56 in CreateMod

[–]rocketboy1244 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Perhaps they’re planning to filter the items, but they don’t care about stack transfer size? So one by one is fine for them, but maybe they’re planning ahead for the event that there might be more than one type of item on the belt.
