The above is more sign posting, pointing you in the direction of mods or items you can use to achieve specific things. This post is more of a how to guide, specifically setting out ways to do thing. I don't plan on covering everything in this mod pack, that would simply take too long but I do plan on covering early game things as this is where the mod pack is most confusing to new players. Warning: These are specific how to guide, recommending what blocks / machines to use so if you want to find things out for yourself don't open these. So that out the way, lets start with; Early game power generation (specifically RF) Option 1 Option 2 This covers what I think is the easiest / best way to produce your first power in this modpack. Generating more power Extreme Reactors Mob Spawning / Mob Farms Mob Killing Mob drops collection If you want a guide on anything specific, if I know how to do it I will make one

I’m aware how complex a mod pack FTB Beyond is so I have been meaning to make this guide for a while. I’m far from an expert at this pack so there is probably things I have missed but happy to add to this guide if/when people point out missing stuff. This isn’t meant so much as tips and tricks of Beyond or a ‘Here is what I do’ guide (this is below). So rather than specifically recommend use item x or item y, I’m going to try and just list things in groups so you can look up possibilities and then decide what you want to use. To start with, lets get some basic information / terminology out the way Tick (t) – The speed of a games engine, in Minecraft this is 20 times per second (or 0.05 seconds per tick) RF – Redstone Flux – the most common unit of power in this pack RF/t – The measure of how much power something produces or uses GP – Grid Power – Used by Extra Utilities and is another unit of power but less commonly used than RF EU – Energy Unit – Used by Industrial Craft and is another unit of power but again less common than RF Multiblock / assembly – a machine made up of multiple blocks in a specific order / pattern to work. Chunk - A chunk is Minecrafts world sectors that divide the world in to manageable pieces. A chunk is 16x16 blocks and goes from bedrock to build limit (y255). If you ever need to see the chunks, pressing F3+G will show chunk borders (F3+G will turn them off too) Some other general tips for this mod pack Crafting – When you open up your inventory or crafting menu, you have JEI/NEI on the side which is a searchable list of all items in all the mods. Left clicking an item will tell you how to craft that item. Most items can be crafted in a crafting bench like vanilla but others will require a special process or have multiple ways to craft / obtain them. If the item requires a special process / machine, left clicking on the machine to the side of the crafting menu will tell you the recipe for that machine. If you come across something and you don’t know what it is, right clicking on it in the JEI / NEI menu will tell you all the recipes that item is used in. For example, left clicking red dye will show you that you need to craft it from a rose. Right clicking the red dye will show you how to use it to make red glass, red clay, red wool etc. Some mods you may want to make numerous items from or want to craft all the items for a multiblock. If you search the JEI / NEI menu by typing @ followed by the mod name it will give you all the items for that mod. For example; @EnderIO will give you all the blocks added by Ender IO, @Tinkers will give you all the items added by Tinkers Construct etc. By default, press full stop will open up the map to show where you have been. Double clicking on the map will allow you to set a waypoint wherever you click. Alternatively if you want to place a waypoint where you currently are you can press comma to do so. Once you set a waypoint you can teleport to it which allows you get around large distance easily. Way points can be set in all dimensions (overworld, nether, mining world etc) but you can only teleport between waypoints in the dimension you’re currently in (there are ways to teleport between dimensions but more on that later). I mentioned powered above, at some point during your play through of the Beyond mod pack you are going to need power. How much power you want or need to generate will depend on what you’re doing and/or how often you’re doing it (generally the faster you want something done, the more power you’re going to need). To give some indication or expectation, the first powered machines you’ll get in to don’t require much power at around 40 RF/t – 60 RF/t each. If you aren’t producing enough power, most machines will still progress through their action but at much a much slower rate. Depending on what mods you get in to by the end game, you may need a lot more power as certain machines can take millions of RF/t each. It isn’t really something to worry about too much though as you get in to building more powerful machines you’ll also be in the position to generate more RF/t too. There is a chunk loader in this mod pack which is very useful as it means you can keep your base powered, machines running etc. while you're away from your base or in a different dimension (especially useful if you have tools or armour powered by RF). To chunk load an area, bring up your inventory and you will need to join a team (icon of 3 people). Once you're in a team you can claim chunks and then chunk load them, open your inventory and on left hand side click claimed chunks (looks like a little map). This opens up a map for you to claim chunks and/or chunk load them. To claim them left click a chunk, to unclaim a chunk right click a claimed chunk. To chunk load, shift left click a claimed chunk, to unchunk load shift right click a chunk. So lets move on to some specifics; Some of the below I have split in to early game and mid to late game. To remove the opinion element from what is considered early, mid or late game I am basing early game on items obtainable by manual mining. Mid to late game items are also obtainable by manual mining if you wanted but more reasonably these are achievable once you have some form of auto miners. Rather than have a massive list in one thread, I've spoiler tagged everything both so you don't see thing you want to find out for yourself and to keep this a little shorter as you can open the sections you need.

Hmmmm I’m have to give it another go and get through the first season then I’ve been meaning to properly watch Blackadder too as I got in dvd about 5 or 6 years ago so doing well Adding to Morecombe and Wise, I’ll add the two Ronnies. There aren’t many comedians I’d rank up there with those 4. As for UNCLE - United Nations Clandestine Law Enforcement?

I do like Lucifer too. Have you see it’s back next week?

I had no problem with Ayra killing the Night King. The Faceless men are considered the best assassins and Ayra has been fully trained by them. Of course she’s a badass and should be the one to kill the Night King. Maybe the only one who could kill the Night King. Mellisandre was a bit of a huh? There was a big thing about her leaving but returning to Westoros one last time. However that apparently just to light a few fires and remind Ayra she’s an assassin. We didn’t see what Mellisandre was up to though so I’m hoping she did more than just that.

I had forgotten about Brooklyn 99, I do enjoy a bit of nine nine. Though a but behind so need to catch up. Is Parks and Rec that good? It got recommended to me ages ago so watched the first couple episodes. It didn’t grab me so never watched any more but with the amount it gets recommended I’m wondering if I missed something.

Yeah, I guess what caused the confusion. I did originally flatten some land but with the idea of some water stuff an island made more sense. Though it does mean I have a huge area south if my village that us completely flat dirt - oops. The blocks next to the torches are just to spread grass When I built the platform it was just dirt but I wanted it to be grass. My flat island cuts through a couple small islands so grass was spreading but slowly. So I just thought I’d give it a helping hand by placing grass blocks around so it could spread while I was building. The torches were just a handy marker of spacing to run and place the grass blocks by.

These are already built in survival I placed a flat layer of dirt over a huge chunk of ocean so that I can build on it. I have an idea about a few design choices and water so it made more sense to build my own island. It’s just a big rectangle for now but I will shape the island more as I build more.

Welcome to the start of my new build Currently I only have my capital building, this is mostly just for looks but will be the centre point of this whole build. There is still some more work to be done to it in the details and I want to try to make a statue on the plinth that you can see on the ground floor. Also I can show off my new building for my energy core Rather than lose all the power I made a second core and transferred it so it still has plenty of power. The tower has been built big enough to fit my woot farm (or 2) and my environmental tech resource and ore miner in the bottom. I don't know if I will though as I quite like the clean look of the tower so might put the woot farm and miners in another building. Also tempted to fill in the empty parts of the spiral with glass but still undecided on that currently.

A little update on my world Though this will be the last update on my village ( ) as I've decided to move out of it. I like the basic set up of it but I already have planned to add at least 4 more buildings to the village to house stuff and that is before I start getting in some of the mods I've not played with which I'd guess will require even more buildings. So basically I've decided to build a new base/structures which will be better suited to house everything (as well as looking awesome naturally!). Rather than a village (as the buildings are too small) I'm going for more a city vibe with much bigger buildings to put all my stuff in. I just need to work on coming up with a pillar design and a floor design that I like then I'll be able to show off the first buildings of my new base.

I saw this on facebook earlier, I guess that is the downside of playing hardcore though also the thrill of it. I'm not really sure how a baby zombie, skeleton and spider killed him though as decent diamond armour would protect for a bit even against all 3. Still, it's a shame and waaaaayyyyyy longer than I'd last.

Well that was intense! I won’t say anymore for now.

I was scrolling through some of my favourite series on IMDB and looking at the recommended series looking for something new and it got me thinking – what is everyone’s favourite series? We can share our favourite shows and maybe find something new to watch too For me, I’ll skip Game of Thrones although it is up there. Band of Brothers – A mini series following Easy company during World War 2 and a very well made, well written and directed series. I’m not one for being too bothered about war films and it is easy to be dissociative while watching the actual episodes – it’s just Hollywood, special effects, make up etc. but at the end of each episode, they have the real soldiers talking about the episode and it brings it back to it isn’t Hollywood and it really happened and it hits you hard in the feels. Billions – It focuses on 2 main characters Bobby a hedge fund manager who uses insider trading to increase profits and Chuck a District Attorney trying to prosecute him. It follows their scheming, dealing, double crossing, planning as they each try to out do each other to come out ahead. Plus Wags is brilliant so always worth watching for him. West Wing and Newsroom….basically anything by Aaron Sorkin – West Wing follow the west wing of the whitehouse and the presidency while Newsroom follows a news anchor and the broadcaster producing actual news. Both are in Sorkin’s style of fast paced, dialogue heavy, witty writing with his usual camera style too. Both extremely well written shows and ones I’ve watched through multiple times. The Marvellous Mrs Maisel – A comedy sitcom following Mrs Maisel as she aspires to be a female comedian in 1950’s New York. It didn’t appeal to me by the description but it got highly recommended to me so gave it a watch…..and ended up watching both seasons in less than a week. Currently there is only 2 seasons but there are more on the way. 4400 – One of my favourite sci-fi shows out there. Over the last 50 years or so, 4400 people disappear though only one at a time here and there. All 4,400 get returned at the same time and having not aged a day from when they disappeared. The series follows the investigation in to what happened to them and their re-integration in to society. The Expanse – Set in the nearish future where we have colonised Mars, the asteroid belt and a moon of Jupiter. Mars want independence from Earth and events unfold the lead to a potential war but there is more going on than initially meets the eye. The show follows the crew of a small ship as they try to uncover the conspiracy and stop a war happening. Counterpart – During the Cold War a crossing is discovered between this world and an alternate reality and series follows the UN organisation tasked to investigate and monitor the crossing as well as deal with people from the other side. A little bit of sci-fi and a little spy thriller and well worth a watch. Better off Ted – A short lived comedy about a project manager in an office. Anyone who does or has worked in an office will appreciate it most but still an enjoyable series. If nothing else, it’s worth watching the Veridian dynamic commercials from the show. Banshee – Fucking and fighting. There really isn’t anything else to say, a criminal assumes the identify of a small town sheriff and spends most of the time fighting or fucking. This is on my list not as well written or directed series but it is damn entertaining. Star Wars Rebels – My favourite of the Star Wars animated series. It starts off not that great and a little kid friendly but by the end it gets darker and you really find yourself attached to the characters and their path in the Star Warsuniverse. Plus it puts some nice easter eggs in the new SW films (mostly Rogue One) Stargate SG1 and Stargate Atlantis – These get an honorary mention, as I grew up watching them. They aren’t amazing series but I still love them and can re-watch them repeatedly.

Sounds like a plan, I only did two races but I didn’t set a qualifying time so started at the back. Managed to finish 8th the first race and 7th in the second which I don’t think is too bad.

I went to give the time trial another go but just ended up racing the daily race instead - oops. It is a fun track though and so easy to make tiny mistakes that cost time.

I thought the daily race was gr3? I’m more used to racing gr3 round here so it took some getting used to driving gr4. You can get on the power so much earlier and not have to worry about oversteer.

I got in 11 laps before going out today and managed to squeeze in to the 1:35’s using the M4. I don’t feel like I left a lot in the table so don’t know how much faster I can go. I think I will try to get in some laps with other cars to see how they stack up.

Maybe an SSHD? Quicker than a traditional HDD and cheaper than large GB/TB SSD’s/NVMe’s.

Ep 1 and 2 are only 60 mins but Ep3-6 are all 70-80 mins long. So I think Ep2 will be another builder episode then the last 4 are going to be the big, exciting, epic episodes.

Gaming history in general was sporadic of playing other peoples games. Gaming for me really took off when I got a OG playstation. Back then it was all about racing for me and I spent countless hours on Gran Turismo and Colin McRae Rally. I then switched to PS2 and continued my racing with more Gran Turismo and NFS. It was around the time of NFS, I think underground 2, I got a network adapter for my ps2 and tried online gaming. It didn’t work too well and was a laggy mess with everyone teleporting all over the place. I guess the infrastructure wasn’t really there so online gaming for me really took off with the Xbox 360. Project Gotham Racing, Forza 2, 3 and 4 and Halo, Halo, Halo and a little bit more Halo. I pretty much played Halo 3 from day of release until MW2 released. It was around this time I bought and built my first PC (rather than scrounging hand me downs off other people) which is why I joined the OCUK forum. The PC allowed me to really get in to my sim racing, mostly Live for Speed though also played NKPro, rFactor and GTR2. I joined several teams, took part in leagues and wasn’t all that successful. I’d finish mid table so better than some but I never had a chance of winning. I then set up my own team and ran than for a year or two before folding as I had lost interest in serious sim racing. It was around this time I started playing CoD’s and Forza’s with some of the OCUK’ers. Then came the PS4 and Destiny, that really got me in to gaming with the people from the OCUK forum. It was good fun as it is a huge community so it meant there was always raids and NF’s going on. Though generally played with the same small group. This is where I got to know Diddums and TehBlueBear and ended up here. The rest they say is history

Whoops, I forgot to post a combo again. My memory is going to be non existent when I’m old Track: Red Bull Ring Class: Gr4

So gone is the capacitor bank in my basement and replaced with an auto crafting system. All my refined storage is in my house so I thought I’d keep it all together. This is the first time I’ve played with the auto crafters and I wish I had earlier! It is so nice to be able to click and say you want x number of something and not need to have to think about the crafting you have to do make it.

Oh god yes! It’s the Chaos Guardian, it’s a bit like the normal dragon but stupidly more powerful. Even with fully upgraded and powered draconic armour, fully powered tools, golden apples and all the regen you can make - you’ll probably die still The Chaos guardian is so stupidly overpowered it can even kill you in creative mode!

I’m building towards the draconic evolution armour and tools. Which alone takes stacks of materials and billions of RF (yes, with a ‘B’). For example, just to make 4 awakened blocks which is only part of the recipe takes 350 million RF. Nevermind all the RF that goes in to itber draconic crafting or all the power required getting the nether stars, draconic ingots or that goes in to making high powered solar panels, reactors, generators etc. Then once you’ve made the armour and tools, it takes 500+ million RF to charge them all. So you see why I built a powerful but exploding reactor before I think I’ll take things slower and safer this time though. I don’t want to rebuild a third time! Yeah modded is a little more complicated than vanilla. It’s why I like it, it is more involved and interesting this way.
