Welcome to TG4 Island. You're caught dead in the middle of 2 demons fight. One wants to kill you, the other wants to help you destroy is killer. Anyways we all know the story isnt whats important but the survival is. The map uses many different types of game play to complete. There's Hardcore Questing Mode, FTB type give/get. Skyblock and survival island to name a few. Details on how to play will be listed in the rules below.
Trailer
Rules:
Rules are pretty simple. The HQM book at the beginning will get you started. it doesnt go on through the entire map. Just at the beginning.
1. You may NOT Build on the Island itself. You can build on the spawn island. thats yours. You may place things like tesseracts, or enderstorage tanks or chest in the skull to give in items, power, or liquids. The tank at the top can support many liquids at the same time.
2.Do not cheat items in with NEI. really.....
3.Explore around the Island, Many things are hidden and will be unlocked as you go on.
4.Turning in the wrong item will result in punishment. You'll know it when you see it. If the wrong item is given to the item it will be returned. you have 4 minutes to reclaim it.
5. If playing on a server - enable command blocks. this is important.
6 Have fun boi.
If playing the Hardcore version 6 mistakes will end you and the map. Probably not what your thinking but its pretty bad.

Thanks for taking a look and have fun playing it. More info and updates will come.
Leave a comment if you have question or anything else.
Excuse me but can you put a manual download to the map on this site because every single time I try to download it from the ATlauncher the browser won't come up to download the map. Plz help.
It says you cant build on the big island but there is a secret room under the stairs..are you allowed to break the bars and get the loot?
Also, I think more quests can be added in to the modpack, it seems there is only one main quest, can 3 draconic chests full of sextuple compressed cobblestone. In my opinion, just having that quest turns me off a little, because all you do is collect cobblestone, which is very boring.
I think the start of the modpack (completing the starting quests) is really fun, but after that, it just gets boring to be honest.
Also just noticed that turning in the wrong item at the mountain doesn't seem to do anything to you, and there is no text in chat when you complete quests, which the command blocks are there for.
Ill try to answer as i go.
you can break the bars and steel the loot. Bad things will happen, but you can do it if you want.
there are many quest. theyre just not all in the book. The quest could be all in the book or none of them. The book quest are just to get you started in the map. then its onto the island quest. I dont really see a difference. if everything was in the book there would be no reason for the island itself at all.
the 3 draconic chest of cobble, if you crafted them by hand yes it would suck. but they do have emc values. and you could just make a cobble gen and pump the cobble into a auto crafting table. theres many ways to do it. I made a large and easy emc farm and targeted sextuple cobble and once it finished the quest and targeted something else.
Im sorry you think its boring after the book quest, if you pretend that the turn in quest are in the book its the same thing. make somthing, turn it in, get a reward. weather its in the book or in a chest i dont see a difference.
and the wrong item thing is a bug. its fixed in the current version of the pack.
I'm probably not the first to post about this but, i'm making a server for the pack and after downloading everything fresh, i try to launch it and it gives me an error about not having one or more essential library files. here's the error:

Hmm I have completed the island quests in a day and I know nothing about a lot of these mod packs. Just saying EMC +Philosophers stone +magical crops (to feed the EMC)+paper = game over T.O.K. once you have the T.O.K you just use the emc to make the stuff on the board. The hardest part was learning the quickest way to make paper.

I cant figure out whats causing this. far as i can tell the atlauncher is not downloading all the libs its suppose for it. But i fixed it. update the pack to 2.1.4 and its fixed

I know. I did another play through myself. IT seemed way easier then i had hoped. There WILL be a big change to the map soon. Keep a look out for it soon. maybe a week or so. will be way way more balanced.
I'm a big fan of Feed the Beast map and been hoping to see a similar map ever since. So far this map has been a lot of fun to play!
I love the idea of the fireworks and the alarm on returning a quest and I was super pleasantly surprised when even more areas opened around the island on the first quest returns. This pack will let me have fun for a while I bet! My next aim is to slowly work my way through Mekanism and Immersive Engineering for the quests.
I'm playing the normal mode of the map since limited lifes isn't usually fun. Do the quest requirements of the island change on the difficult one, or just the hint texts?
Also, sorry for the size of this post ^^` I may have gotten a bit too much into detail on some parts.
Sadly I also love to nitpick and find loopholes, so here's something I noticed after downloading and playing this pack for two hours yesterday:
In the very first moments of the pack I noticed a big problem.
You added EMC to the Minicio Essence and this added EMC to the stones used to craft seeds. And you can also craft essences with the seeds.
Now 8 Minicio + a diamond is already 8k for the Weak Infusion Stone.
Just to let you know the escalation: As long as you get a diamond and 8 Minicio Essence: EMC 8200 needed to start.
Accio Essence 8204 EMC each by crafting 4 Minicio Essence: 4 EMC used to get 8200 EMC.
Imperio Essence 704 779 528 EMC by crafting 4 Crucio Essence.
Everything above that has more EMC than an integer value can hold, so it has no value anymore. You could crash the game with that much EMC I fear. ^^`
To learn everything possible in the game you can craft the Tome of Knowledge at the cost of 50 332 202 EMC, as in get everything you want within the first 30mins of gameplay. (If being able to gain huge amounts of EMC early on is supposed to be possible, maybe remove the recipe from the tome so people cant use it to gain everything?)
Maybe remove EMC from the stones, or fix the essences manually? Such a huge EMC value very early on is very tempting to cheat with ^^`
Ofc I didn't use this, but continued on by watering my plants and making an automated cobble gen.
Since the Minicio Essence has EMC on it, there is no need to farm any Minicio at all making the first plant pointless on the progression. (You get the essence when you kill your first monsters for the kill quest.) And since you can use the watering can to speed the plants up I reached diamond crops within the first 30mins of gameplay by using the starting EMC from all the items gotten from the questbook and first rewards (And crafting the seeds from Minicio Essence instead of the later ones due to the EMC value bug). I can now water diamond plants to easily get 8k EMC in about a minute due to getting extra seeds every now and then. Even the iron seeds themselves were enough for quite a decent EMC production. After automating a farm you'll be getting huge amounts of EMC all the time.
The Magical Crops mod should not have EMC on the dusts themselves just to keep the pack from being too easy on the very beginning I think, unless that is on purpose of course
Also, you have the quest for 3000 ice. For that all you need to do is to craft a Glacial Precipitator with a survivalist generator to get 1 Ice, put that to the tablet and take out less than a diamond worth of ice and you're done.
The killquest is really good though. I like it! Will take a while to get it done but I have plans for a good mob farm.
I'll definetly keep playing and enjoying this lovely map
Thank you!
Thank you for this. Its very in depth. Ive notice most of this my self. Im in the process of remaking the map. Lots of new challenges and much more balanced. When i was making it i was trying to not make it overly hard. I tend to walk away if the map takes to much of my time as i dont get as much time as i would like to play MC. If you are a fan of this map the next version, which is being call tg4 island NEXT, will be way up your alley. The tome will be gone, EMC value for the minico essesce only, and alot of other changes. Since everything seems to have a EMC value by defaut we have to find a way to get player to try things that arent easily gotten by emc and i Think ive found a few clever ways.
IF you like this map and the old style FTB maps, there a link at the top of this post that will take you back to old TG4 maps from 1.2.5 and 1.6.4. I would try the old 1.6.4 map. in the atlauncher under the main DNS techpack, download the last version for 1.6.4 and on the optional side there is the old map. its called TG4 x6
I tried loading the old 1.6.4 map, but when it goes to the ad.fly page to get the map, first it deceived me with lots of ads popping up instead of going for the download, then there was no file, only a 404 error ^^`
Also trying to get the map from the other website separately doesn't work either. File does not exist anymore, sadly.
Sorry about that. Our host changed and forgot to update the link. https://www.dropbox.com/s/iue5j1rwq16rctq/The Great 4 x6 v1.8.zip?dl=0
just install version 6.6.1 of the pack and dont click on the map. download from the link above and put it in your saves folder. and go from there.
I am totally lost, all of the quests require red stone. And there is no way to get red stone. Can someone please help me get back on track. Also, how do you know what order to turn the things in?
redstone is a reward, you can also get it from witches from a mob farm. There is also no correct order. At the beginning there are some that are much easier then other. those, like the buildcraft riddle, give the most useful rewards. after the the first 3 or 4 easy items you should be able to do many others. some items will give a reward needed to get others.
also use the NEI recipe feature and google things. hover over an item in NEI and press U. it will show some recipes for things you might not know. but some mods hide this feature so thats where google comes in, for instant. 5 diamond dust from IC2 and 4 redstone will make one glowstone dust
i think its a bug with project e. its happened to me a few times.
type ingame chat /projecte emcreload or something like that. you can type /proecte for a list of things you can enter, find the one close to that and it should remember your items
Rules:
Rules are pretty simple. The HQM book at the beginning will get you started. it doesnt go on through the entire map. Just at the beginning.

How do you get different ores?
I set up a mob grinder and witches gave me redstone
redstone is a reward, you can also get it from witches from a mob farm. There is also no correct order. At the beginning there are some that are much easier then other. those, like the buildcraft riddle, give the most useful rewards. after the the first 3 or 4 easy items you should be able to do many others. some items will give a reward needed to get others.
also use the NEI recipe feature and google things. hover over an item in NEI and press U. it will show some recipes for things you might not know. but some mods hide this feature so thats where google comes in, for instant. 5 diamond dust from IC2 and 4 redstone will make one glowstone dust
far as I know all the ores you need to complete the map are either given as rewards at some point or you can craft them with whats given to you.
This is probably a stupid question but where do you turn in items
The chest in the skull at the top of the island. The first page of the hqm book should tell you have everything works.
Then why did the diamond gear not work?
the answer is NOT a gear. Thats just an image from the mod the page presences.
you put in the wrong item. if mobs spawn and it starts storming, its the wrong item
Added the answers to the riddles to the OP. Click it if you cant figure them out. But use Google and try things first
i think its a bug with project e. its happened to me a few times.
