    Is there a way to make a Transporter require a certain amount of items in exchange for using the Transporter network?

    Are you up for the Challenge?

    So this is going to be fairly bare-bones, and I apologize for that. There's way more than what I have here, and I've been steadily developing this for the last 3.5 years or so. But I'm literally on the verge of replacing the Stages' content outright. I finished the skeleton for the new format within the last couple of days, and don't want to type everything up, then type it BACK up a little while later.


    Contrary to some beliefs, there was a complete data dump when the old wikispaces went subscription-only, and there's even a web.archive backup that holds most of the information. Very little information about this Challenge has been lost.


    Currently, the Challenge lives on both in its birthplace on the Feed the Beast Forums and a Wikia.


    Welcome to the Refugee to Regent Empire Building Challenge.


    Basic Concepts and Preparation


    This Challenge was born on a forum, but lives on a wiki. Easier formatting, no character limits, and easy ability to see the history of a page--for me, the advantages are endless. Follow the links, and you'll find the Challenge's home wiki, where there may be more detail than here.


    Rule of Cool


    The Rule of Cool is the first and most important rule in the entire Challenge. It states that any rule may be waived for whatever reason, if it will make the experience better. This is not intended as an Easy button.

    General Rules to live by

    • In all Stages, you should be wearing a Helmet before going underground. If your helmet breaks and you
    • don't have a spare, leave and get another one.
    • Anything found in a village, etc may be used at any time.
    • Worldgen buildings do not count towards requirements
    • a Wooden Hoe may be used at any time.

    Mineshafts:

    • If you build a Mineshaft into the ground, there must be supports every 15 Blocks.
    • Natural tunnels do not need supports
    • Mineshafts should be at least 3x3

    It's Lonely to go Alone.


    While you are building, it can quickly become a ghost town. It is highly recommended that you, at the very least fill your constructions with Villagers. If you don't or can't, consider some of the following mods that help your towns quickly feel a lot more populated and homey.

    • Custom NPCs--Highly Recommended
    • Village Box
    • MineColony

    On "Tiers" when it comes to Mods, Technology, and Magic


    Sometimes it may be very clear what a Tier may be, other times it may not be. Needless to say, staying current on every single popular mod in several versions of Minecraft and keeping it up to date--then keeping the Tiers updated would be a full-time job. So I'm going to trust you, Challenger. You decide what constitutes a Tier. Please keep it fair.


    Housing



    *Standard Designs Not Currently Implemented*

    In this challenge, most types of Housing are Standardized, so you won't find the Housing goalposts moving from stage to stage. However, you will gradually be building bigger and better Housing as you progress further into the Challenge, because you are attracting more wealthy immigrants and become better able to generate wealth and products within your own borders.


    Next we come up with the real meat and potatoes of the Challenge The Stages. We're under a bit of a rewrite at the moment, so we don't have as much content as we once had, but this should be changing very soon. However, everything should be far more fleshed out relatively quickly. What is actually posted is slightly out of date, but I will post what I have. Right now it's written as more of a city building challenge. The rewrite will see a Kingdom/Empire Building Challenge, with more specialized towns and outposts encouraged (see: Races, Heroes, and Guilds).


    Races, Heroes, and Guilds



    This section has a LOT of content, and could easily spiral out of control. Do not be afraid to Rule of Cool it down to a size that is manageable for you. Whether that is a small portion of this, or going with everything.



    Races

    Each Race has specific Bonuses and Drawbacks. Bonuses stack up to 3x, and are multiplicative. Drawbacks stack up to 2x, and are multiplicative.



    The Player Race is not intended for NPCs, and may be edited however you want if you don't want a true neutral for yourself.


    More races are planned, but will remain at this level for now. Additional Races will probably be added with the Rogue Guilds, with Bonuses that help 'em out in that regard.

    • Favored Wood: Jungle
    • Favored Mob: Cow
    • Favored Food: Fish
    • Favored Fighting Style: Axe and Shield
    • Hated Enemy: Spiders

    Guilds:


    Most activities can be found within the major 6 Guilds, or the Military. Within each Guild there may be sub-Guilds, or branches of the military. Each Major Guild and the military send an Advisor to help the Challenger run his Empire where it comes to their Guild's activities.


    If you have the time, it is recommended to give each Guild a unique Banner.


    The Major Guilds:


    • Agricultural Guild
    • Mining Guild
    • Merchant's Guild
    • Crafter's Guild
    • Engineer's Guild
    • Magician's Guild

    and the Military.


    On top of this, there may be additional, lawless Guilds that operate within your territory, such as (still to be implemented. Feel free to come up with your own rules):


    • Thieves Guilds
    • Assassins Guilds
    • Pirate Guilds

    Again, this is a LOT. If you only use this for a bit of fluff and flavor, you're still going great!

    Guild Schools



    Guild Schools allows a civilization (or Guild) to pump out trained Guild Members quickly. It only takes one turn for someone enrolled in the School to become skilled at the Guild Member level. However, there must be at least 2 Masters teaching at the School.


    Now, normally, using this system, it would take a long time to get people up to scratch when it comes to training new people. The answer to this is usually a Guild School. They go by many names, but their primary purpose is to churn out a great number of highly talented Guild Members as quickly as possible. Guild Schools are usually quite large, and have everything they need to train people from scratch to Member level as quickly as possible. Their training equipment may not be as large or as extensive as if they were performing their Guild's function full time, but it is still there.


    If you have the time, it is recommended to give each School a unique Banner and/or Shield.


    Bonus Structure:


    A simplified Table can be found at the bottom of the Races page on the Challenge's Wiki.



      • The Ruler's Bonuses/Drawbacks affects everyone in the Kingdom.
      • Each Guild has an Advisor, helping the Ruler. Their bonuses affect everyone within their specific Guild.
      • Each ruler of a Settlement/City District's Bonuses/Drawbacks affect EVERYONE within their Settlement/City District.
      • Each Shop/Facility Owner/Supervisor's Bonuses/Drawbacks affect EVERYONE within their Employ.
        • If they are part of a Guild, their Advisor's Bonuses and Drawbacks Affect the entire Facility.
        • The Ruler's Bonuses/Drawbacks always affect the entire Facility.
        • The Settlement/District Leader's Bonuses/Drawbacks affect the entire Facility.

    Heroes


    Heroes are intended to be every character from the Challenger him/herself to the lowliest Farmer. Each Hero has a unique Races that gives distinct bonuses, and every Hero can have a different skill level, which allows them to either be a next-to-useless Apprentice or an over-powered Guild Master.

    Heroic Hierarchy:



    An optional means to help your cities grow slightly more organically, Heroes may be picked out of the unwashed masses, and be set upon the path to greatness. to Mastery in one of the Major Guilds, or even an Advisor to the Ruler! This system can be applied to anything in the Challenge (with the exception of the Military, which will have its own version of this) rather easily.


    Note: Agricultural numbers are intended to be focuses. Pick one of the bonuses, per Apprentice/Journeyman/Guild Member. Guild Masters can pick an additional focus Master, for a total of 2 foci--AND perform every other function of the Guild, albeit at Guild Member level. Grand Masters get 3, and can perform every other function of the Guild at Guild Master level. This also applies to other Guilds, if such things can apply.

    After tinkering with this, a few requests:


    First, as someoe who is planning on dealing with a lot of lists, would it be possible to add a box with a checkmark that can be toggled whether or not the book is currently editable?


    Second, it would be nice if the Preview functiohad the option of starting at the top of a page, instead of at a fixed point. Again, maybe a toggle. This isn't too big of a deal but it takes a bit of doing if you have multiple Previews (of different pages) on the same page to get them all going properly.


    Third: within the editor itself a "Jump to" page would be amazing. Right now you have to scroll along the bottom to find the page you want. Which isn't too bad if you're dealing with shorter books. But if you've got longer books (or intend to hide pages from non-editable readers in the boonies) it can become a a bit of a pain.

    Alright. About Windows 10 Edition - Beta: it sucks. It's basically xbox/pocket edition for desktop. Why on earth would anyone go for that when it's easier to just go with the original, better PC version anyway?


    Srsly, Mojang? Srsly?



    Ugh.


    I have on reason and one reason only to want to play Minecraft Windows 10:


    My nephew likes Minecraft, and only has Minecraft on his X-box. with W10, I can play on the same server as him.


    But for personal play, definitely 1.8/snapshots of 1.9

    Villager Bazaar Sub-Challenge:

    Build a bazaar/marketplace that has one of every type of Villager available to you (includes mod VIllagers, if applicable). Villagers must be safe from zombies. More than one Villager of a type is allowed and encouraged. In this way, you will always have at least some Villagers always in one spot and easy to find, but if the Village is wiped out by Zombies, you will always have a protected breeding stock.

    Dwarf Fortress. The life work of a pair of brothers. It's a huge, sprawling game where you start out with 7 dwarves and do whateveryou want. OR play in Adventure mode and die a lot.it's in ASCII but you can get tile packs so it is easier to play. HUGE community.

    posted a message on How do you play minecraft?

    to be honest, it kinda depends on what you want to do and what kind of a plyer you are. Just like any Sandbox game, there are many ways to play, and they are all equally valid. If all you're looking for is difficulty ramping up but not wanting to change your playstyle, I can't offer any suggestions.


    If you're interested in trying new things out, I do have a few suggestions, in the form of building challenges.


    Iamchris27's classic City Construction Challenge is a great place to start.


    If that interests you, theFantasy City Build is popular around here and well worth a look.


    Other examples include the Tree Spirit Challenge, and the Castle Building Challenge.



    or I suppose I could pimp my own challengethat's hosted on the FTB forums, theRefugee to Regent Empire Building Challenge (though fair warning it's in a bit of shambles atm due to a restart after the old wiki that hosted the Challenge went pay to play)

    ......wasn't going to plug myself on the minecraft forums for a little bit longer yet, but......

    http://forum.feed-the-beast.com/threads/challenge-refugee-to-regent-kingdom-building-challenge.18310/


    Last few years I've been working on something that is LITERALLY what you're asking for. Last year the wiki I was using to host the challenge went pay to play, and I decided to redo things completely......and I'm still working on things slowly because IRL stuff. The most recent version is being written for 1.8 vanilla minecraft, but with the ability to easily support modded content as well.


    The Mobius Archives has been running a series where he follows the challenge (that was), and it's been ongoing for almost literally 2 years (and 200 episodes) now.


    ....granted, I get distracted easily so the Challenge should be in way better shape than I should have but it's difficult sometimes because--OOH! something shiny!

    *eye twitches*


    Stop spawning Smiths, Clerics, and Butchers. Any Librarians you want to spawn are fine--morename tags the better.


    But WHERE are the food-based Villagers? I need to make some green, mates. And Sugar Canetakes SOOOOO long to grow! Plus, you know, Leather and Ink for best trade efficiency.


    But seriously, give me some Farmers! I don't want to have to keep manually growing Wheat, making it into bread, and throwing said bread at everything that moves.


    .....it may be time to lock away a few survivors and lure zombies to the area....although the two Iron Golems might make that plan a bit difficult.


    so sorry, random Village, but it's time for all 12 Toolsmiths and 10+ Clerics to die.The survivors will be carefully led across the wilerness to their new home where I had been planning to take them anyway. That, or I pick off the villagers 1 by 1 and run like hell from the Golems.

    Also, where the Leatherworkers at? Dady needs a saddle!
