[1.7.10] Gregtech Hardmode Server (aka Kirara 2.0)

Quote from MrRainbow

Also, just to be as obnoxious as the situation warrants , everyone vote NO for TC4, it has no place here. Proof? Almost everyone who wants it hasn't been seen on the server for a long long time.

Here is what I see from this:

Because people that used to go onto the server a lot now don't, due to the update looming over the horison, the people that are either new to the server, or have been staying on should have their opinions matter more than those that haven't.
This is silly (also, I have been seen on the server, and I want TC), and your point has no evidence for you to come to the conclusion that you did.
Also, correlation does not always equal causation (no idea if that was the right circumstances to say it in, it just felt right to say it).

I vote fusion reactor to create aura nodes!

Also, NEI. I am not playing GT without NEI. (And Unidye won't be updated without NEI... )

Updated Spreadsheet with worldgen mods required to start server

Is highlands still an option, or are we not having it?

UB is quite laggy in terms of worldgen, and I thought most of the PFAA lag was related to the startup, not chunks generating? Anyway, I'm liking how this list is turning out.

@HO
It is quite easy to survive with HO. Dont run. Dont Jump. Dont swim. Just collect food and build SLABS (you are welcome greg) around your base.

@IguanaTweaks
IT is an awesome mod, but needs a LOAD of tweaking to work with GT. It messes with stacksizes, speed on different terrain, and block hardness- all things GT does. It isnt a particularly good idea if we are playing GT hardmode- fits vannila much better

Sorry for my repeated dPosting

I am running this list (0bv 1.6.4, but 1.7 shouldnt change too much):

Thoughts So Far:
This pack seems to be quite nice. That's it. No problems, nothing wrong. It has a good feel and I would definately reccomend this for 1.7Kirara. It consists of most of the suggestions and honestly I love it.

As long as someone feeds me lol.

Thanks for the spreadsheet!

I would love to try PFAA, so I am leaning towards it still. What I of course could do is generate even more upto 10k away, downside is my crappy internet upload speed but that should improve in a couple of weeks

Well... NEI does not concern world generation so I did not include it

Looks like this pack will be like 90% of yours

@Thaumcraft,
The poll was supposed to help me decide but its a tie at the moment. The positive point is that no one selected the 'no is op' option. Thus, I suppose we can add it with down tweaked dungeon loot.

@Hunger overhaul,
I think we will not include it, I myself think it would be fun to have some added difficulty but others seem to really not like it.

@IguanaTweaks,
I am interested in it because of the encumbering effects, but it seems a lot of configuring to get right. Leaning toward not including it.

I agree on pretty much everything you said. Now we lie in wait.............

Frogcraft (mr10movie SPOTLIGHT NOW DAMMIT)

You know what, I will. That, and Unidye

Quote from GregoriusT

We could pregenerate a ton of terrain using MC-Edit

wait, MCEdit can generate chunks in modded MC? Teach me, Master :o

Speaking of which, once the Crew season gets calmed down and I'm not continuously burning 2K calories right after school (oh what fun) I have been thinking of doing a twice/week LP/spotlight schedule.

I have the stuff to record and a channel.... just not the energy

Just took a lok at Frogcraft. Will probably wait for it to get tidied up before I try something with it (but DW linus, unidye will happen as a thanks for the Java lesson :P).

Hi,
I'd like to contribute a bit as well.
1) I definitely vote for Thaumcraft 4. This mod has the most beatiful effects and textures I've ever seen. It's massive and very well balanced. Together with GT those are my two favourite mods. Both have progression and research, both require some tech level to move forward/do things efficiently. They go together very well too. You could always build a crashed spaceship at the spawn spewing out fuel and corrupting magic of the world. Tainted biomes, zombies, skeletons, wisps could all be consequence of that crash.

• If it's possible, I'd change iron caps to stainless steel plates, (infinite rechargable tools), bronze to titanium plates, gold to tungsten steel plates and thaumium to perhaps iridium plates. That way you require some infrastructure in GT before you can advance a lot further. I wouldn't make it requirement to make nodes in fusion reactor, because usually when you have fusion reactor, you're done with GT progress. It'd be a pity to be able to start with TC after you're finished with GT. It'd be a nice addition however, to be able to create additional nodes with fusion.
• You could also make tainted biomes more common or spread faster and make special nodes more common. (anyone ever ran into hungry node like me?)
• Set Golem_chest_interaction to false so that they don't lag the hell out of a client. (disables the opening animation and sound)

2) As for Railcraft, I'd turn off steel in dungeon loot and turn off the blast furnace. It's really easy to get some blaze rods and when you search enough villages, you're usually set to just skip the bronze age entirely. Just make the necessary bronze machines, use them once and get rid of them.
3) Hunger overhaul is fun at the beginning but after you set up farms, you just spend a lot of time eating. Also ambrosia does not get it's saturation cut to half I think. If you want similar extra HC, got for disabled regen and death counter.
4) Iguana tweaks - I'm not sure about extra inventory hassle (weight) and slowing down the player (terrain).

• Weight - Since we're playing with GT ores that are in certain biomes only, it would make it extremely difficult to go hunt for these ores efficiently. And since you need them mainly at the beginning, it would just lead to a lot of players either living in/near mountains or moving very slowly across the land. I personally hate when I have to spend a lot of time running in games in stead of playing, more so running slowly.
• Terrain - I think it would cut the creativity of bases. If you want to build your base with grass/gravel paths or do a snow theme or desert theme, you are penalized with slow running.

5) IC2 - would it be possible to allow watermills? They're weak as potato but it's such a nice feeling to have minimal steady income of power :).


Take care,
Methes

Watermills are a bit of a double edged sword, they are not really powerful, unless you let them run on a server..which we do. On the other hand, people who really play a lot won't get the most of it, since you'll need something faster than watermills to really power a base.
Maybe if you up their costs via Minetweaker in materials they'd be in a pretty good spot. I mean RTGs are basically free energy out of a lot of iron and reactor byproducts.

I like TC, but i feel it's science portion is a bit shallow. I would like it if we added an addon (if it exists) that adds (balanced) depth to it's alchemy portion.

My first reply to this thread. YEY

I think that Kirrara should be GT HardMode oriented, so any mod that is added needs to either be native GT HM compatible, or be tweaked to become GT HM compatible.

TC4: Haven't played Thaumcraft since 1.4.7 so I don't know anything about this mod anymore, if the rest of the server thinks that it will fit, then add it. I don't really care.

Hunger Mods: Nope, nope, nope, nope. Sorry for the negativity, but even now on the server if I try to run more than 500 meter my hunger meter gets to zero. I do support mods that add more foods with different attributes if the rest of the players wants them.

Galacticraft Planets(Mars): This has been my biggest concern. As I'm running MC currently on a crappy laptop I have very little RAM to dedicate to MC. The problem is that I can't even load the game if I have Galacticraft Planets installed because it takes far too much RAM. I do understand that some people will want to keep it, but if it's possible I'd like it to be removed.

One last request: Please do try to keep the RAM requirement under 1.2 GB. If it goes over I won't be able to play.

Taco out.
