I thought strip mining was the Minecraft version of strip mining? I like using Mystcraft ages for mining as much as the next person, but resources help progress with the game, quarries help with that greatly. And a quarry in the extreme hills biome is useful.

So, I'm outside my place on the FTB server, look up at the sky, and see ... what?

That chap knows how to mine!

Yes.

Below sea level.

Preferably in an Extreme Hills mystcraft age.

Excessive quarrying in the overworld is just liable to generate eyesores and justifiable rage and screaming from whichever unlucky players have their bases and stuff munched

Yes, but we'd need Mystcraft though. I thought it was disabled?

Solitaire

Nope. Only Dartcraft is semi-disabled, and that's due to a major bug in this version of Forge.

Mystcraft is still laggy and buggy, but nowhere near the server-crippling extent it was in 1.4.7. Then again so long as there's no decay almost any Age is viable for quarrying, although a standard or flat Extreme Hills (or similar Emerald-bearing biome) age is preferable.

Well the server has been almost unbearably laggy this last week.

miralize

Yeah, could you restart the server?

Xeyn

went on now, server was up but ridiculous unplayable lag for a few mins and now its down again. do you think it could be myst craft ages? do we even have any ages open? i know it was mentioned that the latest myst craft doesnt have that problem, but i cant think of anything else that could have changed that would have made the issue so bad so quickly.

Edit: Ok I think the minecraft servers are actually down at the minute.

Solitaire

Well, TS is up so the server box is intact and no sign of Mojang breaking anything or getting DDoSd by any script kiddies so I'm guessing the server itself has melted I'll tell dec when I see him next.

OISINGOR

Minecraft has updated to 1.7 so could we get a server version update and a new map? And might I suggest the new AMPLIFIED world type?

miralize

Well.... Just destroyed every item that I have when a combustion engine blew up my ME Drive.. See you on 1.6 :P

Now, that I think about it, why did I put my array of combustion engines next to my ME Drive?

That sucks.
I did something similar. Was moving my base and had all my me drives on me and died. Everything despawned. Was gutted. You can take anything you want from my base btw- just around the corner from yours. Really Tall building with farms out the front.

Cheers, I may borrow some obsidian if you have some? I just need to get my Quarry up and running again and I should be fine It's not that bad once you have some machines, but the idea of starting again was really off putting

Yeah I was exactly the same. Had a good old rant to jazz but decided to give it a go again.
I'll pop on in a bit and drop off a restarter kit for you.

Im using FTB Unleashed version v1.1.3 and when i try to log on im getting an error relating to biomes o'plenty. Should i try disable biomes o'plenty or am i just not using the right version of the modpack?

Actually its me that does not have it!! I presume i can just install it using the launcher and it should be fine?


This is the rror im getting:

Enable Biomes O' Plenty in the FTB Launcher. Click the modpack and then the edit modpack button the top right.

Is there a spawn area? I just spawned on the side of a cliff.

Is there somewhere i can have a look at any rules of the server or is there any?
Dont wanna build all over somebody elses area

Yeah no there isnt a spawn area. Not that I'm aware of. Rules are dont be a d*ck (presumably) :P, I'm not sure about Mystcraft ages, i'm sure there are people with books to dimensions but you'd have to ask them.

Revoker88

Thats cool man,just wanted to make sure before i did something i wasn supposed to!

Yeah i wouldnt bother with mystcraft ages for myself on a multiplayer server,doubt ill need anything like that for awhile though,lots of mining to do first!

Time to get started i reckon:)

miralize

Better get going then, 1.6 packs are about 2-3 weeks away I think.

Revoker88

Didnt know that,ive been caught up playing my single player lately. So many mods to learn:P

I wont aim for anything to big then till the new release

Are we starting the server back up again? As in, anyone up for logging on?

I'm up for it. Are we restarting the map or we waiting for the 1.6 packs to come out?

miralize

Has it been down?

Would be nice. If more funding in needed, I can put another small bit in the pot.

Don't think so- went on a little while ago and was up and running?
Might be talking about survival server not ftb. Not sure.

OISINGOR

I definitely be up for logging in if the map is reset, well for vanilla at least. FTB takes about 5 minutes to start up and then slowly becomes laggy and crashes after a while for me.

Solitaire

Is there Bukkit or other protection for 1.7.2 yet? Think that was why dec was holding off restarting the vanilla server...

jujumushu

On Twitter it says they're "working hard on" a new release... interesting choice of quote there but nope, no update
