[1.6.4] Gregtech hardmode server

Co

Quote from SpwnX

I would like ThaumCraft, as it is the most scientific magical mod i have ever seen.
Also, it would improve the TC4 mod-crossover with GregTech (Guess why).
If TC4 is added, there is the electric magic tools addon.
Just make things underpowered and expensive and it should be fine.
ThaumCraft is also somewhat good aesthetic-wise by the way.

I just wonder why people always go either full magic or full tech, why not Techmaturgy? I loved my Vis hextech reactor (TC3)

Per Fabrica Ad Astra, whenever it comes to a full release, would be a nice addition (substitutes GC completely), alongside GregTech as core mod to gather PFAA resources and stuff.

Completely agree. Thaumcraft is well done, balanced, and fits well as a reprieve from tech.

Well, i suppose with hunger overhaul and such, it will estimulate people to gather together.
Where we could possibly build a town and each player has a "plot" (of at least 64x64, expandable given need and possibility), everyone can build their machinery either alone or together and have public farms.

That would be awesome. I would love to manage a town.

Also agree. It would decrease chunk footprint. You could "buy" plots of land, and possibly have separate areas for mining and living. We could also set up spawn Mindcrack (Vanilla) server style.

I agree with Thaumcraft (since it has great GT integration), but disagree with Electric Magic Tools (TC itself has a mechanism to recharge stuff using EU).

I don't know a lot about Thaumcraft 4, so that wouldn't be a bad idea.

Also, on Kirara 1.7, there should definitely be a large spawn city.

Built by the players, legitely. That would be awesome.

What you could do is have a set amount of land allowed per player and then players could trade that land, and after you reach a certain point you could grab land as much as you wanted (like early American expansion) and sell it cheap (land speculation). Then something like HO would be nice, discouraging early exploration until you are set up and then providing extra incentive to go explore. Less abandoned messes and unused chunks wasted that way.

Also, the server is acting very odd. Nothing much to say than I am going through blocks and the lag is insane. Reset necessary?

I like Thaumcraft, but I'd be more open to it on this sort of server only if you could slow progression (perhaps by reducing aura node frequency, vis distillation, and reducing research point intake (maybe some sort of .5 or .25 modifier on all those things).

Having Custom Ore gen as a dependancy for PFAA also lets us control Ore distrib more.

TC 3 is really nice, and fairly balanced.

Is there any reason we can't add COHC core, even if we're not gonna add TE? Flat Bedrock alone makes it almost worth it.

It would almost be hilarious if you dropped it on us for current version, didn't tell anyone you were doing so, and let us find out as we logged on =D

I put this pack together. Looks nice, has a good feel, but needs some tweaks to really work. Iguana tweaks, which adds some nice features needs to have some of the hardcore stuff turned off (Greg has similar features that are more compatable like HarderStone). Overall though, this was really interesting and has most of the suggestions in this forum. Basically, the ideas listed here are actually all pretty good together, lets just hope it works in 1.7.

About 50% of the Mods are completly useless or redundant and make the Game too easy.

Yeah, like Unidye! What is this peasantry? No, but to be honest, most of these mods are more or less unknown to me.
My stance against HO/HVC stands by the way.

And Gregtech... IC2... no, but seriously this was just to see if the previous suggestions worked out well, and pretty much all of them did.
Edit: If HC worked with IC2 crops it would fit so much better. I personally also would remove it along with Frogcraft, Reliquary (although honestly it is balanced well despite popular opinion), Magic bees and DimDoors (I forgot that was in there) but the rest of the suggestions actually seem quite nice together.

JABBA? Wat

JABBA = Just A Better Barrel A... uhhm something with A

Just another Barrel attempt, by ProfMobius: http://profmobius.blogspot.fr/
EDIT: It is very well balanced, BUT you would need to remove the diamond dolly (it has 6 uses and can move spawners with Slowness IV). Everything else though is reasonable and works much better than the cheapo silly FZ barrels.

We have D/Q chests though.
