You might remember me as either that guy with the massive Immersive Engineering/Petroleum setup or that guy who fucked up the Vintage Story server.

Well, I've dropped out of the server game for now and have been slowly working on the following.

Eh, No hard feelings Meph, stuff like that happens sometimes.
What is that anyway, a huge vessel you're going to fill with molten iron or something?

[Mephisto]

It's the current largest NuclearCraft fission reactor.

If you know much about modded MC, this might mean something. If not, it's meaningless numbers. I'm currently using fuel rods that, if I just had one cell in the reactor and nothing else, would give ~512 RF/t. With the number of cells, coolers, and graphite I've got in it (not much, probably 40 blocks out of 24*24*24 available), I'm generating 28.8k RF/t.

What are you doing that you need that much power!?!?!?!?!?!?

[Mephisto]

Void mining. We're also looking into Draconic Evolution so I'll need to work on more power gen to get that started.

I very rarely need to recharge my flux capacitor but, when I do, this reactor needs a few minutes to do so.

[Mephisto]

My server companion has created all of the draconium stuff he needs. This left me with stacks of ore in my void ore miner. What do you do with stacks of draconium when the only place to go from here is teching up in Draconic Evolution because of the overpowered AF chaos guardian? You use it to make things. Here's what I made with mine. I even have a stack and a half of blocks left.

I haven't played MineCraft in a long time.  The last time I was enjoying Direwolf20's modpack on the FTB app.  But it seems like that all kind of died.

Can someone suggest an equivallent modern modpack?  I tend to do singleplayer mostly and enjoy both tech and magic stuff.

It hasn't died, really. Most modpacks now seem to be on the Twitch launcher, including DW20's 1.12 pack. There's probably something for you on there. DW20, FTB Revelation (for something similar-but-different, though it has a fucked-up Advanced Rocketry config), Undiscovered if you like quest lines, crazy recipes, and exploring lost cities, The Clay Experience for once you get sick and tired of Tinkers and Draconic being in every single modpack ever.

Someone gave me the a windows 10 minecraft key he got for free when he bought his copy. Is there any way I can use that that does not involve logging into a xbox/microsoft account?

I just spent over an hour trying to get the twitch app to work right.  Had to migrate my old Mojang account over to curse and kick the minecraft launcher into working right.  I have yet to actually try any of the quest line type mods in MC.  Remember, it's been a few years since I last played.  Kinda sucks that Thaumcraft is still playing catchup though.  I really loved that mod.

Okay, what does progressive mods and 'gating' mean?  I feel like a newb all over again.

[Gentlefish]

It means that some features of mods will be locked behind "progression" milestones ex. mining 100 iron ores or something.

The only "quest" mod I played was regrowth, and that basically gave you the materials for rewards since it spawned you out on basically a barren desert area.

I'm... Going to have to go back and play that one. It was really well-structured.

[Mephisto]

... progressive mods ...

Where did you read this? I have an idea what it could mean but everyone uses it differently.

... gating ...

(TL;DR: Basically what Gentlefish said but I already had this typed up and wanted to share something a bit more insane than 100 iron ore)

I usually hear this as an expletive. In short, you're "gating" features people want behind mods that aren't really adding anything to the experience.

Spoiler: Angel Ring - Undiscovered (click to show/hide)

The above is a good example. In most other mods, the angel ring can be made once you kill some wither skeletons and capture a ghast with a cursed lasso. In Undiscovered, however, it's gated behind a Mekanism jetpack, some rod from Reliquary, and finding an end city with a floating ship and looting the elytra, among the other insanity you see pictured. All of that, and you get somewhat slow creative-style flight.

Is there a way to make last version of buildcraft and pretty much everything else compatible? All (probably outdated) wikis claim that MJ can be freely converted to RF, but it's impossible to do so in any way, shape or form. Can't even make buildcraft oil into thermal expansion fuel, because TE devs decided to make their own unique kind of oil.  Now i'm sitting on a 3 sources of unusable buildcraft oil, and i already spent a lot of time in this world, before realaizing that a) buildcraft is totally broken. b) TE can be used for roughly same purposes(and i didn't installed it on start).
Also, just out of interest, what last version have industrial craft, buildcraft, forestry and railcraft at once? Last time i checked, starting from 1.8-1.9, they all falled victims to "nah i will not update for this version, takes too much time" and incompatibility hodgepodge.

[Mephisto]

Nope, until someone makes a compatibility mod or everyone implements Buildcraft's unfinished special snowflake MJ api. Energy in modded Minecraft is a shit show. The introduction of "Forge Energy" was supposed to help but half of the energy-producing mods do their own thing anyway.

[Gentlefish]

That's why I like 1.7.10 (and mekanism). They've figured out all of the energy conversion problems there.

I've been (re-re-)re-playing the Regrowth pack for 1.7.10 and this time I've been patient enough to really grind out the magical crops. I did make a small edit to Agricraft so that I only had to 10/10/10 my original base crops and come out with all of the mundane crops at 10/10/10.

I really just need to make a vertical farm for all of my mundane plants; they're too useful too often to not have them, and then I can hopperhock them all into composting bins or something. Then I'll have all the garden soil I need for my magical crops (which should also end up vertical for space reasons)

[bloop_bleep]

Got bored with vanilla and after watching some modded Minecraft videos, decided to install some mods myself.

I have Buildcraft, Mekanism, Galacticraft, Mystcraft, OpenComputers, and JourneyMap. I wanted some magic mods (Thaumcraft and Ars Magica) but turns out they're only available for 1.10 and I'm using 1.11 (wanted 1.12 but Galacticraft hasn't been updated for that yet.) OpenComputers is the one I'm most excited for; I'm having visions of fleets of robots mapping and surveying the environment and then going out harvesting resources like ores, oil, and meteorite chunks (on the Moon), and perhaps learning to recognize dungeons and reporting their locations back to base. I'll have enormous buildings everywhere, with oil refineries, nuclear reactors, chemical processing facilities, and so forth. It's gonna be epic.
