[GregTech-5][1.7.10-FORGE-1355+][Unofficial but approved Port][Stable] Even GT5 Experimental is slowly getting stable.

Setting aside whether they include PFAA, I'm fairly sure both Beyond Reality and InfiTech 2 include Thaumcraft, which I'm leery of since one of my earliest experiences with it involved encountering a hungry node.

I was just thinking that next time I'm ready to start a new world (which will be after I've weaned myself off of high-res texture packs (if I can), and possibly after GT 5.09 is released), I'd try using PFAA oregen instead of GT's oregen, and I figured if there was an existing modpack that had the features I wanted, it would be easier than configuring things myself.

I have nothing to argue about the hungry nodes, they can be annoying, but can be escaped or be dealt with (extra care to not fall into one, like noticing the particles it produces).
Also GT5U has TC compat stuff that i like, so i'm fine with it :3

I noticed that in the config world generation there are options for marble and basalt but there is no gregtech marble and basalt when I search it up in NEI.
I have chisel and project red, does that relate to these mods ?
Also I hope I'm posting this in the right thread.

Blood Asp · July 24, 2015 at 10:24 AM

Marble and Basalt got added to GT6, but GT5 does not have it. Maybe you have configs first generated with GT6?

SuperSandro2000 · July 24, 2015 at 11:01 AM

Thanks you! You fixed the problem with the lapis in the compressor turning into plantballs but redstone and glowstone is broken too. I don't know what else it broken. You should test this.

Oh completely forgot about that. Yes that's it thank you !

SuperSandro2000 · July 24, 2015 at 2:08 PM

Is there a config option to turn off that gregtech deletes all recipies for storage blocks form other mods? (Draconium) Or can you fix it that there is no recipie for draconium blocks and when you open the draconium ingot tab in the draconic evolution book minecraft craches?
~~It works fine in the compressor but it shows no recipe. Could this be a bug with NEI Addons or NEI Integration?~~
I found the problem it compressed Draconium blocks from another one bitest the dust mod. Could you add something to prevent that the compressor trys to compress into blocks from the same mod.

Bloody, sorry if this wish was already requested.
What is about lightning rods back? Greg just reminded me them in IRC so I'm asking you, if you have plans to implement them in future.

Blood Asp · July 24, 2015 at 7:45 PM

My tought about the lightning rod allways was: "Why is such a nonsensical thing in GT?", but since GT started with it, i will likely add it at some time out of nostalgica.

You could also add weather inducing/cancelling machines while you're at it

Blood Asp · July 24, 2015 at 8:00 PM

Before that whould be a better terraformer, but that is far, far into the future.

SpwnX · July 24, 2015 at 8:08 PM Official Post

If you're willing to do a better terraformer, better rework IC2 one :P.

Chocohead · July 24, 2015 at 8:26 PM Official Post

The terraformer is fine, I don't get what you guys have against it so much. The main issues are that the range is far too big to be practical under normal use and it takes a lot of power to get anything done.

There's no better way to start an all out nuclear war on a server than adding weather control devices.

The problem is not the range, but the way it terraforms. It goes too randomly, being wasteful on the way it converts (you see it reduces the speed of terraform as it gets closer to "finish" the job).
It should convert blocks one by one, in a similar fashion the miner scans and digs for blocks.
It also has the inability to change biomes, which would be a great purpose for a REAL terraforming machine.

The randomness makes pretty patterns, but it does slow it down when it scans which is a shame. If it was to change to one by one, it'd end up spiralling around the terraformer, which I guess could look cool too, but completely prevent you from using multiple to speed the process up.
It does have the ability to change biomes, but only the mushroom TFBP does it.

SpwnX · July 24, 2015 at 9:31 PM Official Post

Which is why there is something called range limit, that should be a square, for that purpose.
All other blueprints should change the biome, also add some others.

Although I vote for biome changing be an UU dependant feature.

Why limit it to a square? Rectangular terraforming could allow you to run them at the same time easier than each one having it's own square. And circle mode to bring back the current mechanic.

Which blueprint would change to which biome? There are some that would fit to change it into quite a few biomes

Such as? There's already a pretty wide range for what you might want

Passively or per block changed?

The default would be a cube. Other shapes are optional. Those include, but not restrict to: spherical, X cylindrical, Y cylindrical, Z cylindrical, pyramid and whatever more 3D shape.
Shape could maybe be configured via number input, with a maximum range in one direction depending on how upgraded the terraformer is (overclockers).

Well... those blueprints would have to be renamed likely.

TFBP - Forest (causes trees to grow faster - Forest biome)
TFBP - Swamp (causes crops to grow faster - Swamp biome)
TFBP - Snow (snow everywhere, including some spike formation - Snow biome)
TFBP - Desert (sand, crops and trees planted will die, with the only exception of cacti, which will actually grow faster - Desert biome)
TFBP - Ocean (turn a very deep range of dirt and stone into water blocks and formation of some gravel in the bottom - Ocean biome)
TFBP - River (turn a shallow range of dirt and stone into water blocks - River biome) - best used with cylindrical shape.
TFBP - Mushroom (makes mushroom just like it does now - Mushroom biome)
TFBP - Hills (increases height of the area around the terraformer by ~60Y - Hills biome)
TFBP - Plains (does what the flatification one currently does - Plains biome)
TFBP - End (turns everything into end stone - Sky biome) - Special TFBP that passively requires UUM to work.
TFBP - Hell (turns everything into netherrack - Hell biome) - Special TFBP that passively requires UUM to work.

May allow the combination of two or more base TFBPs to achieve some biomes (taiga would combine ice and forest, taiga hills would combine ice, forest and hills)

Per block changed. Overclocking would also affect this.

Chocohead · July 24, 2015 at 10:54 PM Official Post

Where does that leave the flatification and irrigation ones? They don't directly modify the biome but change the landscape.
