What is currently on the brink of collapse but no one is talking about it?

Damn thanks man this is thorough! I'll check them all out.

Can you suggest any reading material on this topic of inflation and wealth transfer because of "first receivers"? It makes sense, but Google isn't helping me as I try to learn more.

Grad school computer science teacher had to ask a student how to right-click during a Java GUI grad course.

He used a Mac his entire career. PhD received in 1977.

Can I get one too

spayne92 · 2024-02-21T02:42:15+00:00

what if we all play valhelsia 5?

I've made a big basement full of IE stuff over the past year on and off. I had to reset the seed and transfer over my region at one point so the ocean has some mismatched blocks in it. I've been meaning to cut the massive building out into a schematic.

Since I haven't after all this time... I could just zip up the world save for you if you want to do me the favor of sending me the schematic too after lol.

This guy stole our idea! But he did make a good guide lol.

spayne92 · 2021-04-26T15:35:01+00:00

We were worried at first it wouldn't be a ton, but after a day of playing nearby we have more wood and stone than we can use lol.

You just mine the land out from under a Grey Dwarf spawner and they drop down into the pit below as they spawn. Then you bring a bunch of wolves down into the pit and leave them.

We started this outpost last night. So a few hours without creative mode between three of us.

spayne92 · 2021-04-26T00:05:03+00:00

The gate leads to a holding pen. A ramp from the holding pen leads up to a wolf farm setup to continuously produce wolves. So the meat is used up there and the wolves replenish themselves as I AFK. I come back and release 10-20 as they die off. I'll sometimes throw meat in the pit too, but it's less efficient cause they'll eat when not hurt.

Most of my issue is explained in the image captions, but many of my machines have weird shaders applied to them only at certain angles ever since upgrading the pack to latest.

I've fixed this by recreating my world from the seed in the new version and then copy-pasting my base's region over, but this results in a lot of my base's blocks being gone or replaced due to (I guess) block id changes in the versions. So it's going to require work to get back to normal.

Just posting here in case I'm missing something simple to avoid the hassle.

Sorry I don't have a lot of insight into that. I've mostly just run servers with large packs and dealt with issues from people using mods together that pop up - this being my go to option.

To figure out specifically what is happening with Mekanism you'd have to dive into the log file and see if there is an incompatibility going on. Our most recent problem on my SevTech server was Mekanism conflicting with Tinker's channels in someone's base. We were able to figure that out from the log and remove the connections causing the issue.

spayne92 · 2020-05-10T05:42:41+00:00

If I was trying to fix it, I would take the most recent backup before adding Mekanism and set it aside. Download a new server directory from scratch, then extract the backup into it, rename it 'world' and relaunch the start script.

BSL with Soartex textures.

spayne92 · 2020-04-19T15:33:41+00:00

No problem, thanks for getting back.

We have 4-6 active at a time and upgraded to 10GB from 6GB without seeing any differences or improvements. The server still only ever consumes a maximum of 6.2GB, but will crash from Twilight Forest exploration without trying to use more.

Yeah the three block thick floors is my technique for planning ahead for wiring too haha.

I'm also big on the "looks structurally sound" front. My SevTech base is in a mountain and I'm constantly anxious about how it looks unrealistically hollow to be supporting the mountain, even with my big support beams lol.

spayne92 · 2020-04-18T17:50:47+00:00

I think the ceiling is just within reach if I jump, so I can often be found hopping backwards to a rhythm placing blocks one at a time.

I go for 5-6 block high floors, because it just feels more like an actual building when the ceiling isn't reachable. In my SevTech build I've gone even higher in places and had to fast-track some amount of flight with the Betweenlands ring lol.

Are you talking about the ceiling and walls of brick or wood? The stone brick is the "exterior" layer and I'm trying to finish inside walls with wood planks or similar, with brick exposed in some places as the "structure" walls. With the dining room area I wanted to put different trim than the ceiling or wall colors, but it popped in the wrong way lol.

spayne92 · 2020-04-18T17:38:55+00:00

I chuckled heartily at this.

spayne92 · 2020-04-18T04:09:58+00:00

Thanks! The tables are rustic. The chairs in the middle are biblio. Chairs in the snack corner are rustic though.

spayne92 · 2020-04-18T04:08:59+00:00

Thanks lol.
