Thats 2 for new world. I'll hold off for now and see if anyone else speaks up.

I'd hold a poll if I was you.

I regret ever using the forum poll system because you can't remove them

Doesn't Thaumcraft require world gen stuff, such as trees and new ores?
As we have explored pretty much everything within map range it would require a bit of travel to get a lot of new stuff... That and we are pretty damn powerful in the current world, what with a portal to the promised land and a lot of really powerful weapons and other junk.

So personally I'm opting for a new world, but look forward to it either way.

It has a retroactive generation system, but if you'd like to start over we can do that.

I'd vote for starting over. All the other mods might mess up retroactive generation.

I second this. I am willing to sacrifice the Fearsome Duck for mod compatibility.

[Max White]

The duck wasn't that bad... I kind of liked it. Made it feel like we got there by having our ship get washed onto shore by a tsunami and with no hope of ever getting it off and sailing back to merry old England we just decided to build a town in the new world... We were fucking settlers because of that duck!

Anyway, if we do restart, we should figure out what mods we want in world gen. I personally am a huge fan of Underground Biomes.

[frostshotgg]

I think go with a new map for tonight, but keep a backup of the current map on hand for if there's a resounding "OMG GO BACK"

The duck was awesome.

[Leyic]

New map means losing the volcano, but also losing the glacier, so that balances.

If we're going to be building up a single town again, it might be fun to make the mobs push back a bit harder (i.e. increased spawn rate) so there's a reason to think about the town's lighting/defenses (I'm tired of being blown up by creepers in town).

[Ultimuh]

Well I vote for starting over as well.
Altough all that we have accomplished so far... could you save the world just in case?
Also would we still be able to use Bibliocraft and Biomes O Plenty?

edit: UndergroundBiomes seem to work well with BiblioCraft and Thaumcraft4.
However I am not sure how well it fares on a server.

edit2: Found This mod which makes Metallurgy metals work in the TCo smelter.
Altough it's still in alpha, so there may be bugs.

[Max White]

So being the controlling little bastard I am, full list of mod preferences.

Spoiler: Starting mods (click to show/hide)

Thaumcraft: Because what better way to enjoy the mod than with friends!

Tinkerers Construct: Seems to be a favorite, also more personalized weapons is fun.
Thaumic Tinkerer: Adds research to TC for TCo, making them mesh better.

Underground biomes: Causes normal stone to be replaced with all sort of layer stone, similar to Dwarf Fortress. You wouldn't think it would matter, but the different layers make cave exploring so much more fun.

Metallurgy: Adds a crap load of different metals. Great for multiplayer because everybody ends up in different outfits.
Extra TiC: Makes the metallurgy ores work in the TCo smelter. Still can't use them in weapons, but it is nice to have there, especially if you disable the ore crushers (And you should disable the ore crushers)

Lost Books: Causes mobs to drop books, some from a list, others randomly genned. Really nice to be able to actually fill the liberary with something.

Natura: Lots of trees. Have a Bibliowoods edition.

Harvestcraft: Because I hate Ultimuh and want to condemn him to a life of farming. 

Mo Creatures: Because I like turtles.

More Fuel, Tweaks and Everything By Grom: Adds Thaumcraft support to a lot of mod so that they can be used in research. I only just found out about this mod and have yet to test with TC4, so I will be back with results.

Spoiler: Unlock mods (click to show/hide)

Bibliocraft + Applicable Bibliowoods: The shelves mod.
Challenge: Collect 10 lost books.

Mystcraft: A really fun mod, but it feels like a late game thing to me personally. Also requires no world gen features so great as a reward mod.
Challenge: Build a library, stock it with every unique lost book.

Carpenter Blocks: While a great mod, it also doesn't require world gen stuff, so would work well as an unlock.
Challenge: Build a Carpenters Workshop, stock with 4 64 stacks of different kinds of wood.

Chisel Mod: Adds a ton of interesting variants on vanilla blocks that look great. Once again, built to be an unlock.
Challenge: Build a Masons Workshop,  stock with 4 64 stacks of different kinds of stone (Would require Underground Biomes)

Enhanced Portal 2: Lets us do cool things with portals.
Challenge: Find a nether stronghold.

More Pistons By Smeagol: Makes for some dwarfy mechanics. Gravaton piston is the best!
Challenge: Build a mechanics workshop stocked with 32 pistons and 4 stacks of redstone.

Torch Levers: Build some fun traps.
Challenge: Have a zombie proof town with no internal spawns and walls.

Harvestcraft: Because I hate Ultimuh and want to condemn him to a life of farming. 

Don't count on it, if we start over I doubt I will ever dabble in farming ever again. :p
Also.. What did I do to get on your hate list? 

[Max White]

Nothing, it was a joke. Your a cool guy. 

[Ultimuh]

Ah, alright.
forgive me for not catching on to that joke there.
A childhood with aspergers and cruel schoolyard bullies have.. made it dificult for me to get such jokes.

But enough about that, I do agree with most on that list of yours.

[frostshotgg]

If I get a vote, please for the love of god not metallurgy. It's such a shitty mod and it screws with everything else that just wants vanilla minecraft metals, and Tcon does everything useful it does better.

[Ultimuh]

Quick question:

Will underground biomes stop us making seared stone?

Not really, just place 2x2 of any UB stone and you get 1 vanilla MC stone.

If I get a vote, please for the love of god not metallurgy. It's such a shitty mod and it screws with everything else that just wants vanilla minecraft metals, and Tcon does everything useful it does better.

Well I myself like to have a wide variety of woods, stones and metals.
But that's just me I guess. :p

By the way, this mod adds interesting graves to players deaths.
And I think it enables you to get back the stuff you died with, altough I could be wrong.
Also it should be compatible with the other gravestone mod we have been using, just a quick config edit would do it.

[Elephant Parade]

This sounds like it would make lava much less horrible. So, any time estimate on the reset?
