I do enjoy the daily races, they can offer some good competition. Though some tracks I really don’t know well enough to be competitive. I think I’ll have to accept that I am stuck in DR B, I can climb to high B but never make it in to A nevermind getting in to A+ or S @GazzaGarratt Yes they scale. What lobby you end up in is determined by your DR - Driver rating and SR - Sportsmanship Rating. Your DR is based on how fast you are and where you finish races. Your SR is based on how clean you are. You will generally get matched with people with similar DR and SR as you.

That's my bad, the way you do it for complete mod packs is slightly different and I'd forgotten about that. I'll update the main guide in the other thread when I get chance but that will be another day. So to add this mod pack, Download the FTB Beyond zip file In MultiMC click Add Instance Then on the left hand side there is an option to import from zip Click browse and find the zip file Give the Instance a name at the top Click ok and it should download all the relevant files When it's finished, click Edit instance and up the memory and change any other settings you want Then it should work

It should be 191 mods (I think). You need to go in to Loader mods on the left hand side and add the all the mod files. They should all be .jar files

@SpacedeckIt looks like it isn't letting you join due mod incompatibility. Have you got the mods installed properly? They should be this pack: https://www.feed-the-beast.com/projects/ftb-beyond/files/2468604

@Spacedeck Yeah just PM'ed you, I saw you try to join but it rejected you as you weren't white listed. I've whitelisted you now so you should be able to join

Technically the max player limit is 99 but there is no way the server would cope with the mods and that many players. It should be alright for 4-5 people on at the same time I think maybe 6-8 but I think it would start struggling at that. I’ve never run a modded server so a learning curve for me too. It’s all good mate, I’m happy to cover it for the first few months and we’ll go from there, if its worth renewing, how long for etc.

It’s a paid for server so available 24/7

Haha no, I am out all day today and most of tomorrow too so no MC for me I did squeeze in a couple hours after CoD last night so have a tinkers smeltery and access to the mining world already I just headed south from spawn and I’m in the plains biome. I think around z 700 - somewhere round there if you want to see my most excelent (read shitty) starter base I didn’t change it to keep inventory on death. I didn’t think about it but I can change the option when I’m next on. It will sometime tomorrow now though so if you go on today be careful

So we have an FTB Beyond server now You can access the server either with name: FGBeyond.minecraft-crafting.pro or IP: 188.165.208.54:25414 I've only finished setting it up tonight and I've logged on and it seems to be working. The server is similar specs to one I played on previously and it was alright with a small number of players so assume it will be alright for us too but it is easy enough ot upgrade if necessary. You'd probably notice some lag if you're exploring and generating new chunks but I've flown ~500 blocks in each direction from spawn so around spawn should be fine. Other Server details: Mode: Survival Difficulty: Normal Seed: -696216977807959 Seed map: LINK I went through a lot of seeds to find one with a decent selection of biomes near-ish spawn. We have most, the only ones we don't really have that close to spawn are jungle and ice but they aren't all that important really. I've also left the claimed chunk limit as 100 as I don't believe this impacts server performace but chunk loading does so I have limited the number you can chunk load to 5. It is easy to use a lot more than 5 so we'll probably need more than 5. I'd think the server could cope with more however to begin with I'd rather go low and see how the server copes as it is easy enough to increase it at a later date. It is a whitelist server so @Plumbers Crack I've added you as I know you MC username. @Spacedeck I know you posted in the ftb guide thread but I can't remember if your MC username is the same as your forum so if you can confirm I can whitelist you too. Any questions or problems, let me know. IMPORTANT INFO The Ender Storage Ender chest item transport does work on a server but we have to ensure we have different colour ones else we will get each others items. To change the colour of an Ender Storage Ender chest, I believe you can craft the chest directly with the colours. Else, make a default white white white chest and click the white strips on the top with the colour dye you want. To avoid confusion, I will list players and their colours so we don't have any conflicts; Greboth - Green / Green / Green. PlumbersCrack - White / White / White Spacedeck -

Damn that’s cool. Now I want a magic doorway You can build hidden piston doors but the animation isn’t anywhere near as cool.

The ‘official’ way (for lack of a better term) is to use the twitch launcher. MultiMC was created to be a launcher for everything all in one place - different vanilla versions, different mod packs, different mod launchers, different texture packs etc. I just prefer MultiMC as it’s easier to set up, use and set options like RAM usage etc. than the Twitch launcher. I haven’t used the Twitch launcher though in a long time so they may have improved it.

No worries, happy to help. Now we just need a few more people to get in to Beyond and we’ll have a nice little community going

Is there anything else you’d like to see a guide on? I’m aware I’ve missed a number of mods out, especially the magic ones but that is because I haven’t played with them that much to know how to use them properly. At some point I do plan to learn blood magic and Botania but I’m too busy building at the moment

@Plumbers Crack After chatting last night, I've added a guide in the OP on extreme reactors too The automated on/off part is the bit Chosen Architect did weird, the way I posted is much easier and simpler

But what would Crispy moan about then?

Well ... FUCK!!! Ep5 spoilers...

Covered in Transmitting items in the third post and some extra detail in the Refined Storage section The simple / headline answer to how I do it is; Put an Ender Storage Ender Chest on top of the builder in the mining world (it HAS to be an Ender Storage chest not the vanilla Ender Chest) Put a second Ender Storage Chest next to your Refined Storage system Place an importer on the chest and link it in to your Refined storage A single importer probably won't be fast enough so you can put 3 speed upgrades and 1 stack upgrade in the importer. If that still isn't fast enough, put more importers on the chest with speed and stack upgrades.

Thank you There's some bits of Refined Storage I've missed out as I am still working them out myself but will post an adendum once I have. Mostly this is wireless crafting as it takes a power source that isn't RF so trying to work out the best way to power it. You can also automate the autocrafters so if you get below a certian number of items, it will autocraft back to that number. Is there anything else you'd like to see a guide on?

Auto crafting also now added to post 4

Firefly suffers because it’s over hyped. I love and think it is one if the best sci fi shows. However I first watched it years ago with no expectation, without the cult following it now has. So I think some people go in with such high expectations which it then can’t meet. Still it is good and, if you like your comedy/sci-fi, worth watching. I couldn’t get in with it, I don’t really know why. By my general tastes in shows, I should love it but I watched about half the first season and it never grabbed me. I never got that I want to watch the next episode and realised I was more watching it because other people had said it was good rather than I was enjoying it.

And the basics of refined storage added too post #4 as requested I'll add the rest another day.

I've added a guide for Mobs - spawning, killing and collecting the drops and I've also added a brief bit on ore multiplication

Haha what have I created!!!!!! However, your wish is my command - Mining and storage all covered in post #3 but to provide simple answers How to mine faster - keep to a single builder but more power. I don't know the exact figure which is why I didn't post in the guide above but I think the builder can use upto something silly like 6-7000 RF/t when it mines the fastest. So simply the more power you give it the faster it will mine. As for Endermen - a couple tips, run round a desert at night as they're easiest to spot in a desert and look at them then they will come to you. If you need enderpearls - try to add luck to your sword (if you have a tinkers sword) or make The Ender sword . Also the nebulous heart in a crafting grid will give you more enderpearls. If you need enderman heads, try adding beheading to your sword (again, if you have a tinkers sword). A very brief answer but I'll give a better answer when I get round to doing a full post on mob drops / farms.

And now it’s the Revenge of the Fifth

Nice one When you say setting out, do you mean setting the area for it the mine? I still don't know what the numbers mean. The easiest way is, with the shape card in hard, shift right click the builder, then right click a block to select the first corner and the right click to select the second corner. The first corner and second corner you select should be opposite corners of a box. So if the first corner you select is to be the front, top, left of the box then the second corner needs to be the back, bottom, right corner. There are guides out there by the mod authors or videos on mod spotlights for most things as the FTB packs are popular mod packs. If you're considering using or are using a mod I'd still recommend looking up more information than I'm posting. I'm aiming for this thread to be more of a general guide to getting starting than any detailed focus on specific mods. ChosenArchitect is pretty good, I've watched some of his videos as I was trying to find some detail on blood magic before I blew my first world up. The one I watched when I first got in to this modpack and getting back in to I've re-watched a couple videos of is Welsknight. He does a pretty good job of explaining too (though worth noting the modpack has altered slightly since he created the videos). I've got everything typed up ready for the builder and using it in the mining world (including the upgrades to the storage drawers). I want to add some stuff about the more mid/end game mining, a bit about chunk loading and some information on automating getting it all back to your bases storage system. I agree the automation is fun but even in vanilla I like automation I just didn't think Mr Dig a massive hole by hand would ever say it
