(Answering one question is already a lot of help)
Hiya everyone,
It has been a while since I've last played minecraft. Namely this world that I've abandoned :p.
Anyway, I'm returning to play, not sure for how long.
I need help with few things.
1) Is there a mod adding quantum armor counterparts for Thermal Expansion or Mekanism? Preferably latter mod, since I love it and know it better. I've been looking for: Modular Powersuits mod, but couldnt find it (maybe I didn't search well enough?). The mod doesnt have to be as modular, just simple armor that is powered by RF. I got tired of adding IC2 to my minecraft, just for the quantum armor and Vajra. I've looked into Draconic Evolution and Avaritia and they seem a bit too end-game-ish for me. I usually don't hang around in one world for more than several weeks. Darksteel armor seems okay-ish, but not quite there. And I don't feel like adding Ender IO, just for the armor. Solved
2) Any suggestions where to start in modded multiplayer? I've NEVER ever played modded multiplayer (except lan). Only singleplayer or vanilla multiplayer. Maybe suggest a modpack/launcher thingymabob? I've found the twich launcher and it looks decent, but not sure which modpack to start from. Oh, and let me know if you want to play, none of my friends play minecraft, mostly MMOs or some MOBAs. Solved
3) Regarding #2, I am not fan of some mods, so I usually construct my own packs instead of using readily available ones. Do you know a pack that would contain base stuff, like forge + some utility stuff? So that I could add stuff there, by my own. Solved
4) There was a mod adding energy powered tools for buildcraft specifically. It probably wasnt updated in a long time, but I want to at least find the old version. It had 3 tiers of armor, all crafted in that laser assembly thingymabob. As for tools, Chainsaw for axe and Jackhammer for Pickaxe iirc. Any ideas? The name or anything would be helpful. Solved
5) Could you please suggest me any neat mods? I love Mekanism, Agricraft, Tinker's Construct, Minechem and Twilight forest. I like Thermal Expansion, Ender IO. I am not a fan of Botania, Thaumcraft, Blood Magic and other magic mods in general. I hate bees, please no bees T_T. My preference order: RPG>Tech>Utility>Magic
6) Since I've been living under a rock for so long, and missed the signallum nerf on TCon, could you share your optimal crossbow+bolts, bow+arrows and shuriken builds? I run most of the metals. Tcon+Osmium, Platinum, Refined Obsidian, Refined Glowstone, Titanium, Natura Woods, Steel, Zinc, Electrum.
7) Thanks for anyone that made it this far, and apologies for asking so many questions at once, heh :D. Regarding TCon again, is there a neat way of pouring metals out? I tried working on clocks, timing exactly how much it takes for 144MB etc, but its too tedious, and takes a lot of space. Solved
8) Regarding #5, I love mods that make you work on small stuff for a long time. Agricraft, spending time on getting perfect 10/10/10 crops + making hybrids and Minechem, working on splitting stuff and assembling required items and systematizing it. Any mods that come up to your mind, similar to those? Please no bees, they give me shivers.
9) Since I wasn't able to find minechem for newer versions of minecraft, do you know any similar mods? I regarded minechem as less cheaty Equivalent Exchange, as you aren't converting useless stuff into valuables, but similar stuff to other similar stuff. Like plants to plants, or extracting metals from armor and such and converting it into ingots.
I think thats about it.. If I remember anything, I'll make sure to add it later, thanks in advance
1) Regarding your first question, Modular Powersuits has been updated to Minecraft Version 1.10.2. Aside from that, I have yet to find any really great armor short of Draconic Evolution (Redstone Arsenal adds armor, but I don't believe it to be very upgradable).
2) As for multiplayer on servers and such, I would recommend the Twitch App. If you are looking for servers, the FTB packs are probably your best bet (The twitch app has their own section for these packs). When I want to play on a modded server I usually play on Shadownode, but I am sure there are plenty of other options out there.
4) Redstone Arsenal adds powered tools, as does Mechanism, and several other tech mods. Actually Additions is a great tech mod that is new to the later versions of Minecraft. It adds a drill for 3 by 3 to 5 by 5 mining (or digging), along with upgrades for fortune, speed, and the like. Simply Jetpacks has also been updated to the later versions of Minecraft, and as always, Tinkers is very op for easy tools and weapons (The slime boots and slimesling allow for a very nice early game form of travel as well).
5) Well, first off, Actually Additions (Which I mentioned in #4) for tech stuff along with Flux Networks for wireless energy transport. Extra Utilities 2, while very different from the original, is still a very fun mod (See the Rainbow Generator). Draconic Evolution is great and Deep Resonance is interesting (although I haven't used it much myself). If you like programming (fairly basic unless you get way into it) PSI is a great mod that has tons of potential. Finally, Immersive Engineering (Tech) and Industrial Foregoing (A MFR port) are also very good mods. As for agriculture, Pam's Harvestcraft and Cooking for Blockheads are great for food, and for storage, AE2 is a great tech approach to storing all your items (works great in conjunction with Storage Drawers).
These are just a few of the many great mods found on the later versions of Minecraft.
6) I don't use the crossbow or shuriken much myself. But I find that paper or magma slime limbs produce the best draw speed on a longbow, along with a cobalt plate and lots of redstone. The Tinker's book that you spawn with provides you with all the information you should need regarding material stats and abilities, I find that just flipping through the materials section every once in a while to find the best material works for me.
That's about all I've got. I don't have a lot for you regarding eight and nine. I tend to prefer the huge tech mods (and sometimes magic) with lots to do. Just so that you are aware, Agricraft is still in alpha stages for 1.10 on, and a lot of features are not yet implemented or are bugged. Sprinklers do not yet work, and some of the mod integration has yet to be worked on. I also found that just by putting a crop in crop sticks (1/1/1), it grew significantly faster and produced more drops (as if it were leveled up). Reguarding a "less cheaty Equivilant Exchange" I have yet to find anything of this nature. Project E (A port of Equivilant Exchange 2, and the best form of Equivilant Exchange on the later versions of minecraft at this point in my opinion) does have a configuration that allows you to have some "EMC loss" (i.e. If a log has 16 EMC, "burning it" might only produce 8 or 12 EMC depending on the configuration).
