    I think the overcrowding wont impact the new Server that much anymore since I fixed a rather huge Bug in GT Ores causing Packets to be sent to every single closeby Player as soon as someone crosses the chunk Border downloading new Chunks Clientside. That has caused an awful lot of Bandwidth usage on me a while ago. But it is fixed in GT6 now.

    Nice knowing. ;D We will see.


    Also HK3 is closed until further notice. I wiped the world completely already.


    It should re-open by tonight, or rather tomorrow early morning in Europe.


    Since I'm here, I will see if everything is alright today and tonight it will be better.


    Battlegears was removed because it crashed with GTs tools. It will be added back later if it gets fixed. (I know it's not on your side, Greg.)


    Iguana Tweaks was removed because of general weirdness.


    World will be ATG from tonight and on.

    Wow. People are talkative.


    Consider the server I booted yesterday without telling anyone Alpha. And that is to remain until Pyro and I are down with the NPCs stuff. Which mean I will restart the world today and everything you will do afterwards is to be considered useless since I won't allow you to reuse it once grand opening arrives.


    I will allow people to keep 1 inventory of food or ores to begin on the server. Maybe a bed and a door ? Not much. (Just that I feel bad taking everything away... Else I would. Think it'd be best.)


    You gotta realised I opened the servers 4 days early. In 4 days, it might be ready for release. Before then... It will be a mess. I couldn't advise anyone to join in at this time.


    Those REALLY interested in HK3 better wait till I tell you it's really time.


    Also... Server will be overcrowded. It WILL be. Unless some of you changed their minds... I think I might have to close K2 earlier and open a second Kirara Hardcore. If people agree with this as I feel HK3 will be more of an experiment at first and I'd rather wait and play on something that will be rock solid from the get go.


    Good plan ? Bad plan ?

    Oh well, my first exam is the 17th so I'll maybe join to claim a swamp and get things going, I'll try getting a base with moo

    Luckily for you, there's swamps on 50% of coasts with my setup. It's also the best place to stay with Enviromine. Plenty of different biomes for swamp.


    Should make it more diverse.


    And... Who do I get to play with ? I'll ask keda, but if he doesn't want, I'll have to play with someone else. Poor things.


    Anyway, you don't need to "team" up, but at least form small campments with 2-3 close bases. 2 close bases of 2 people would be awesome and would allow more players unto the server.

    How about this... I thought about doing sort of a closed beta for the pack, if you will. I would allow a few users in a few days after opening in a few days. I would keep only the disabling part of my recipes on a first.


    Then I would slowly enable recipes as I change stuff in them. Once players judge this is sufficient, people will start to establish. You are encouraged to roam within the borders that will have been pregenned as much as you like to find a suitable place to call home. Might do a few farms and things to be able to explore but not too much.


    My guess is everything will be good enough to be played in a month. Players might decide it's time sooner. 2 weeks would be decent. 10 days is bare minimum. So official opening should be around the tenth minimum.


    Would that be okay with you ? (When I say nerf recipes, it's more change them to GT-looking recipes. I shown a few, people seemed to like them.)


    That way you could also come in and tell me : "This recipe fucking sucks." You may also change it yourself on the GH and submit a pull request. You may also tell me you like it, if that's the case. ;P


    So yeah. No more wondering what would be or would not be enabled, nothing would be. ;P I guess by 10th day, major mods such as Forestry, BC, IC2 would be done as well as vanilla. (While BC would take me a while, Forestry would be done in half a day.) I would also do first tier of Galacticraft. Think that'd be decent to begin with. By day 30, I expect to have 80% of everything done. Then I would start to play myself...


    KEDA I WANNA PLAY WITH YOU. Your base on K1 - K2 ? Anyway it's fucking amazing. Best base I've seen on Kirara so far. No offense to others. ;P Greg and SpwnX base was really nice as well.


    Also, thinking about this, I would... REALLY like people to team up. More people are interested in this than I thought. I used to have 2 servers with 160 mods + fancy worldgen + physics and since we only had 2 teams, it was perfect. No lag whatsoever. PFAA as well. So it's doable. Let's just not chunkload the whole thing, m'kay ?


    K1 - K2 now have the same modlist and the qCraft portals should be working. I hope. Did not test them. Do not go to three though. Still broken. K4 still stays the same.


    This all. Tell me what you think.



    Guys, we've got Kirara thread here, not "Official Off-topic posting thread".

    Is there such a thing ? I'd need that.

    If I could go back in time, I'd wait before I open up the server.


    I thought people would get that this would be a WIP seeing how mature GT6 is...
    Like I thought people would consider this their second server. One you use once GT has something new and that I could work on it slowly.


    Apparently most people are thinking that stuff like that won't fuck shit up. (AE as well...)


    But I'm sorta confused right now.


    EDIT : If I could do a world restart in a few months, I would. But since we get Custom NPCs and quite a bit of work will be done on the sever, I cannot afford that as well...

    Ok. One thing about the quarry though, is that we do have IC2 powered alternatives. Obviously the quarry recipe would be nerfed, but is it worth using over the Miners? If a quarry costs as much as an advanced miner, why not use that? I do love BC quarries though :)

    It would end up between miner and Avanced Miner in terms of recipes. (And usefulness as well, IMO.)


    EDIT : If BC really becomes modular, we could as well drop it.

    Both roles are already handled by Codex, the enchanted book, except the "sell mob drops" part.


    But you're right, I totally forgot about mob drops.
    Vladimir, the vampire pigman, will probably make its comeback in the village to buy your mob drops, and maybe an enderman that sells rarer ones.

    He's gonna sell ender pearls ? D: Those are like endermen eggs ! This would be kinda like me selling severed heads on the black market. ;P

    More like you cant handle the mod and how balanced it is, with power draw, logics, and assemblers ;)
    If it is present in a modpack, it literally removes the need for anything besides low-level automation and does so in a very effective and not overpowered way. (Once nerfed to hell.)

    The second sentence is the reason I get AE. It will remove the need for LP at a point. LP will be there to give options before lategame. Fuck hoppers. EDIT : There will still be time for hoppers, it just won't last 6 months at least.


    Also, I'm really good with AE. No need to worry about that. And LP has power draw as well ?

    What is so OP about AE?

    Quasi-infinite storage ? Instant automation ? Teleportation of all items through Q Networks ? It's not OP... (Except when you get that for a few Certus.) but people will switch to it once they get the chance to, trust me. LP will also be good for sub-networks and automation away from base.


    I do have a plan how things will work. BC pipes will slowly get replaced by LP pipes which will slowly get replaced by AE, since they're all compatible.


    EDIT : I doubt you're interested in HK3... Don't worry, no other server will get LP. ;P

    Wait, isn't Applied Energistics inside the Pack to get rid of those sync heavy logistics Pipes?

    LP will be poor man's AE in the meantime. No storage, no instant moving items, about as pricy (More materials, but Al - SSteel level instead of Ti. Which will be as common as Al, just on another planet.) and requiring mass amounts of power as well.


    EDIT : I also consider removing it should people think it breaks balance too hard. It's remove-able after all. I just want people to wait and see what I come up with as far as tiering go.
