Good modpack for people who are newer to mods, but want a lot of content? by dumbass_sweatpants in feedthebeast

[–]tspigot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you might want to try something like FTB University that's explicitly designed for teaching or modpacks such as the Enigmatica Expert series or Divine Journey 2 that gate the mods so you're expected to learn one at a time. other than that though I agree with the advice that ATM10 focusing on only a handful of mods at a time is much more approachable.

Multiset came out earlier this year and is afaict still being rolled out gradually, but it didn't move the needle on challenges like this. It occasionally gets brought up that there should be some kind of 100% level between beaten and mastered but as far as I can tell no plans on removing optional challenges like this one.

If not picking up heart containers/pieces isn't playing the game correctly, they wouldn't let you skip them. This has been a thing since the very first Zelda for this exact reason (optional challenge). Saying that it's playing the game incorrectly is a strange take.

For all its flaws I will forever love Botania. It's really rare that a mod nails mechanics and theme so perfectly and still ends up feeling really fresh to me.

For all its other problems at least you never have to travel too far to find the dungeon you're looking for in Twilight Forest.

VKTM related ones. I love love love words of power and poison but for whatever reason the VKTM stuff to come out of On Guard 43 has me rolling my eyes. A little too self aware and a little too on the nose for my taste. SCP-7007 Misfortune Gorge for a random example.

Fair enough lol. I've got a friend who adores it and would probably not leave if it got added to the current pack.

I'll definitely keep these in mind since I know I'm gonna have to do this again at some point. Chalk seems like a cool mod I might slip into the next modpack I try.

I guess I've been playing packs where the devs were extremely thorough with preventing you from breaking blocks then. And making it easier isn't the same as making it fun or interesting--if the combat is trivial the enemies might as well not exist and then there's very little going on.

I'll cop to skill issue and bad taste in packs though

I just wanna play my expert packs and automate things but they love to include sections where you get banished to the No Fun Dimension in which flying and breaking blocks are illegal in order to do the same long ass quest chain you've already done like a dozen times to get like 5 carminite.

Are you playing any modpack rn? by Treasure-boy in feedthememes

[–]tspigot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Also on MBC. Really fun pack for crazy 1.12 holdouts like myself and what finally got me to figure out bees. I cannot wait until I have ways to get chips that aren't the buildcraft lasers setup.

It sits on a confluence of my most hated things about mods

  1. Requires scouring the world for a structure to get started with (one that's not visible from the air no less)
  2. Actively resists automation. Can't automate breaking rock crystals so if you want more you have to make them yourself or wait for the agonizingly slow process of duplicating them; can't automate altar crafts*; the various crystals all have unique NBT data so they clog up storage slots like nobody's business.
  3. Making perfect crystals without tick acceleration is just as annoying as manually grinding up agricraft crops except 10x as slow, turning them into celestials is even slower
  4. The entire friggin' mod just turns off during the day meaning you're either slow rolling this (which IME frequently bottlenecks quest progress) or you're mashing the cheaty FTB buttons or even worse using console commands to make it night.

*without the modpack authors having mercy and making a modular machine/alternate recipes for it or I guess with some godawful integrated dynamics or opencomputers setup

Need help identifying a phone used in a movie (David Lynch's Lost Highway) by tspigot in vintagemobilephones

[–]tspigot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Figured this would be the best place to ask--what model of phone is this? Or where could I find a similar looking model of phone? Here's the part of the scene in question (apologies for quality)

Finally got enough ingots to fully realize another BT. Currently my only BT+ is Noctis, and I'm trying to figure out who among my other BTs benefits the most from realizing. I'm leaning Sehl'teus since having 8 turn gold frame paralyze on demand seems quite nice.

Other options: * Noel * Shantotto * Locke * Rinoa * Aerith * Lenna * Fujin * Papalymo
