[1.7.10] Gregtech Hardmode Server (aka Kirara 2.0)

Thaumcraft for 1.7! Now we really are just waiting for Greg

It would certainly be OP if all those slots were enchantable gear slots that all applied... but what if all 4 had to be the same to apply one instance of that enchanted effect? That would require enough effort to justify the bonus I think.

Just wanna +1 MrRainbow's petition for Greg to Add some Fricking Oil to World Gen Already! Even if it's just oil shales it'd still be nice to have...

Also, it would be nice to have Immibis' Array-generators, or something functionally identical, so that those who want to spam the renewable gens can do so without either contributing to server lag or resorting to their cheaty compact versions.

Alsoalso, I'm going to be playing on a 1.7.2 world with Thaumcraft soon, so that I can test out those new baubles and see what they do. I'll report back if anything seems especially broken.

In between revision, I'm going to start base designing.

Are we still deciding between underground biomes and pfaa (or whatever)?

AFAIK, green gens (aka solar, wind and water) are disabled on kirara.

Awwww... :c

Also, notes from my forrays into 1.7.2 Thaumcraft:
Chopping animation cores are still a thing, as are harvest golems, and alumentum. I know this isn't a surprise to anyone, but I feel that these should be mentioned if this really is going to be added to Kirara. They're not overly expensive, either... I foresee much golem tree farming and coke oven spam in the future.
Also, I found a pleasent surprise in my research: You can now duplicate glowstone, slimeballs, clay, and ink sacs in a crucible, at the cost of a few related aspects. This might cause balance issues with Gregtech, particularly glowstone and clay. There's also a few miscellaneous alchemical recipes, though nothing especially useful if you don't happen to need cobwebs, cracked brick or moss stone for a build.

There's also the whole obsidian wand of infinite mining thing. Oh, and metal transmutation, though that's actualy pretty balanced since you're just changing one metal to another, and it costs resources if you want anything other then iron.

So should we do like a 1 week test, working out the kinks in 1.7 then reset the server on a nice seed (near a mesa, as clay will be swallowed quickly on a server) and go at it for real? That way we can test the TC interactions before its too late.

@Glowstone concerns, it costs 1 sensus and 2 lux to make 1 glowstone, so basically a dye and two torches.

@What Wand of Infintie Mining? : Obsidian wands slowly refill themselves with terra vis, and Excavation foci only require Terra to work. Although, you'll have to enchant the focus with Frugal if you want the recharge rate to be faster then the use rate, which it is my understanding will be a lot harder on this server due to enchanting tables being disabled. Also, the wand only recharges to 10 vis and then stops, which would not allow very much mining at all. Less then a minute of mining. It also mines ores more slowly. All in all I agree that it's not really unbalanced, the electric tools are still overall better.

Also, while it's not something that I think is unbalanced, there's also now the ability to turn cobble into gravel, then sand at the cost of 2 Perditio per step. (basically two cobblestone) Clay also only requires 2 terra and 1 aqua per ball of clay, which is basically 2 cobblestone (synergy with the sand maceration? ) and 1 sugarcane, with some herba and aer left over. That could help a lot with the disappearance of clay across the server as people dig it all up.

Also also, it's notable that the arcane bore is available pretty early on, though it's kind of a bitch to maintain. You pretty much have to sit next to it, or spend a high-durability pick to be able to leave it for very long. And since it uses actual resources for fuel, the Miner is still superior in every way. Especially if we don't have enchantment tables.
Well, unless you happen to want cobble or granite.
EDIT: There is one significant advantage to the arcane bore that I forgot: You can turn it sideways, allowing you to mine a specific level rather then the entire chunk.

Alsoalsoalso, the changes in AE2 are awesome. Really looking forward to playing with it once I get to that point in my game.

EDIT2: Apparently, you can also disable the arcane mirrors in the config, if you want to. Though, they are rather useful for making infusion set-ups prettier.

I think you can do that with AE2 now, but I may be mistaken.

I suspect the question will come up at some point: Electro-magic Tools mod?

To settle the question: It has a recipe to transmute U-238 into U-235.

Nope.
