1.10 Update Imminent^TM

[bloxgate]

Hello everyone!

I've narrowed down the pack choices and have a final pack in mind.

It is going to be a Gregtech based 1.10 pack. It'll take a little while to put together since 1.10 builds of GT are still being developed, but expect to see some of your favorites from the current server make it in as well, alongside some new ones.

This pack will be harder than the 1.7 pack, but I'm hoping that it'll take longer for people to hit the end game and just give up on playing.

Now time for some mentions to some of our players: @ToxicTeddy @Dragonslayer7516 @xInf3rn0 @Shifty @skygreencat

If you have any questions or comments, please leave a reply!

Sound fun, time for my communist state to rise and do nothing productive

I've sent instructions on how to access a very very early pre-alpha build of the pack to a few people. The build will be periodically updated as I work on getting stuff ready. Apparently GT should be playable albeit a bit buggy, so I'm starting on recipe tweaks and adding other mods in soon^tm.

Pre-Alpha 0.0.3 Released

Those of you with pre-alpha access should now have access to this.

• Add Railcraft
• Add Pam's Harvest Craft
• Add Forestry
• Add AE2

Notes:

• Recipes have not yet been customized
• Charged Certus likely cannot be found in world. You can make fluix using a mixer instead and get a charger that way.

Pre-Alpha 0.0.4 Released

• Config tweaks
• JourneyMap is now a default optional mod
• FoamFix Lawful is now a default optional mod
• Faithful 32x Modded Edition resource pack is now available from the optional mod selection
• FoamFix Anarchy is now available as an optional mod

Notes:

• Enabling both FoamFix Lawful and Anarchy may cause issues, including crashes or neither mod functioning.

Mod Suggestions
I am now taking suggestions for mods to add to the pack, before the final tech tree is decided and recipe tweaks are started.


If you have any suggestions for mods, please let me know. Preferably post them here as well so people can see what is being requested. GT compatible magic mods are especially high priority at the moment, as none have been added yet.


@ToxicTeddy congrats! You've been added to the list of people who we're giving pre-alpha access to. Please contact me for the details.

@bloxgate got a crash a while after using a chunk loader to keep a mining bore going, at least 2 hours after. Heres the pastebin link: https://pastebin.com/hT491wSg

It looks like that has been fixed in development and will be fixed in the next version of GT

I've just pushed an update to fix that. Should just have to hit the update pack button in your launcher.

Just released another update to deal with a bug in GT through minetweaker.

It looks like some issues with hammers aren't going to be fixed until the 1.12 release which may still be a while, so we'll have to deal with them.

Hammers don't prospect and harvest most ores normally instead of crushing.

To fix this I've made redstone crushable through Craftweaker, as this should be the only thing you have to crush to get started with a macerator which will work for other ores.

Some neat in game GIFs today.

I've decided that its likely we'll go with TIS-3D as our computer mod. OpenComputers is still on the table, though it would likely be much later game if included at all.

Here's a GIF of a simple program I wrote to check the smelting progress in a furnace.

While we wait for various mods to be updated and stable (mainly GT here), would anyone be interested in having a different modpack running?

I'm open to suggestions for some good 1.10 or 1.12 packs to tide us over.

[bloxgate]

No suggestions? Really?

Anyone have any ideas, or shall I just choose a popular-ish pack?
