Stylez 160 Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 (edited) Hey guys! Basically I'm going to be ending my current Industrialized LP when 1.3 comes out because my game has become such a mess with block IDs that I really don't want to fix it and I want to start something new. What I want to know is what mods should I use for season 2 of Industrialized (other than the staple mods)? Update Jun 27: Confirmed Tested and not using Currently planning to use: Optifine Somnia Buildcraft 3 (with logistics pipes) IndustrialCraft2 (with compact solars, charging bench) Forestry Redpower2 (no redpower control) ComputerCraft instead of the Redpower computer (Forth is too complicated so I'd never use it) Railcraft Wireless Redstone (chicken bones edition) NEI Treecapitator Currently considering using: Convenient Inventory MAtmos ExtraBiomes (too many block IDs and risk of incompatibility with biome related mods) Atmosmobs (don't think it's compatible with ExtraBiomes so one or the other... mo creatures adds way too many mobs) Better Ore Distribution (made ores too hard to find and too much config for mods that add ores) The Better Animation Collection UGOcraft (incompatible with forge) It's basically "more of the same" but with a couple different mods and updated mods. I got some/most ideas from the Technic pack but decided against using the Technic pack as it has a LOT of mods that I don't want to use (I know I can disable them but it's just more crap to wade through). I don't want to use any mods with magic like EE or Thaumcraft. Anyone have any other mod suggestions? The mods I'm considering using are mostly aesthetic mods - so if you know of any mods that add aesthetics to the game (trees, flowers, little animals, building materials) let me know! As of this post, I have 3 more videos left to upload for Industrialized (episode 60 being the last one). So episode 61 will probably be a farewell episode to that season depending on the timing for 1.3. EDIT: I know I didn't get to a lot of the uber high-end industrial stuff in the mods but that's not the purpose of my LP. The purpose of my Industrialized series is just to have fun playing the game and not rushing through everything. Maybe in season 2 I'll take a whole new approach but I'm too laid back to rush through the tech tree! Edited July 3, 2012 by Stylez Changed thread title Link to post Share on other sites
Jasenty 18 Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Would Thaumcraft2 be resource heavy? It's a handy mod to have, but it adds in a whole lot more complexity... Have you heard of MultiMC? Furryoctopus1128 1 Link to post Share on other sites
DiEvAl 1 Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 What about UgoCraft? Link to post Share on other sites

Have you heard of MultiMC? I don't want to use any mods with magic like EE or Thaumcraft. I haven't heard of MultiMC but I have been trying out Magic Launcher. I think I'm going to avoid these launchers and stick with Minecraft Portable as I have complete control over my game. I'll probably use MCL for testing different mods and doing mod spotlights though. What about UgoCraft? I'll look into that one, it looks pretty cool! Hopefully it's forge compatible. Link to post Share on other sites
Jasenty 18 Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 MultiMC allows for multiple instances of Minecraft. Basically, you can have different mods on each of the instances. And oops... Sorry, read a little fast over the whole no magic thing... Link to post Share on other sites
Furryoctopus1128 9 Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 MultiMC is basically multiple .minecraft folders and a cool selection menu. you make a new folder and call it what the configuration will be, and then you can just install the mods like you regularly would. I would recommend Minecolony. It's not very industrial but I like the idea of having a bunch of little people run around and making things for you. It's still a little buggy so I wouldn't add it right away but it doesn't add any terrain generation so you could add it when ever you want. Link to post Share on other sites

I thought about trying Millinaire too but I'm not quite sold on it yet. I may try Mo' Creatures but disable a lot of the animals.. I mostly just want small animals like birds, fish, turtles, mice. There's a lot of mods I want to try but I don't want to add so many that I end up hanging myself every time Minecraft is updated. Link to post Share on other sites
Jasenty 18 Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 Millinare is an interesting mod. The questing of finding resources for the villages can be very entertaining, but after a while, their villages begin to get annoying... Have you considered getting a mod called Twilight Forest? I found it a very interesting land, filled with many bugs and huge trees to experiment with. It is accessed by a portal and from there can be used like the Nether. Just an idea'r.

It adds new blocks and a new dimension. an a couple of new mobs. (Note: the hollow hill that he went in is a very small one! They can get much bigger and grow stalactites of redstone and diamond!)

Stylez 160 Posted June 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 I'll take a look at Twilight forest I just don't know how much it fits in with the industrial theme. lol Seems kinda magical to me! Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks Furry(: I'll take a look at Twilight forest I just don't know how much it fits in with the industrial theme. lol Seems kinda magical to me! I think it is a bit magical, now that you say that... Im racking my brain right now trying to think of some really cool mods that would tie in well with the Industrialized theme. Better Than Wolves maybe? Link to post Share on other sites
Stylez 160 Posted June 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 Better than Wolves would NEVER work with IC2 or Buildcraft (other than Better then Buildcraft) and it's not forge compatible anymore. I'd love to use BTW in my LP but it's "incompatible with everything" lol Link to post Share on other sites
Stylez 160 Posted June 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 On second thought I've decided to give MultiMC a try and like it a lot so far (better than Magic Launcher). I especially like the ability to import and export configs which will hopefully help me share my maps in the future. Link to post Share on other sites
Jasenty 18 Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 Haha well maybe a spinoff series spotlighting the intensity of BTW?(: You could use your new MultiMC to do it too(: Link to post Share on other sites

I like the idea with magic launcher not editing the minecraft.jar , does MultiMC utilize this, or would I be back to adding mods manually? BTW....I vote on MAtmos. This adds a nice touch to the sound engine. Link to post Share on other sites

This adds a nice touch to the sound engine. You dont have to manually add in mods I believe. There is an option to select mod files (.zip, .win) and adjust when they are installed in what order. It has proven to be quite handy. If that is what you are talking about. What exactly is MAtmos? Link to post Share on other sites

I like the idea with magic launcher not editing the minecraft.jar , does MultiMC utilize this, or would I be back to adding mods manually? Yeah MultiMC is basically the same as Magic Launcher but it creates multiple instances/copies for each version/config of Minecraft you want instead of moving files in and out of your main Minecraft folder. There's a tab for adding mods to the jar, and a tab for the regular mods folder. There's also a tab for resources that sound mods usually need. It also gives you the ability to import and export configurations. What exactly is MAtmos? It adds ambient sound to Minecraft like wind blowing, birds chirping, etc. Link to post Share on other sites
Gr8ful 55 Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 Well, I tried it and couldn't get my mods to work correctly with it. I set up 2 separate instances with Vanilla, and Industrialcraft. Modded instance would crash every time. Think I'll stick with Magic Launcher, I can set up different instances with that as well only having to point the settings to the correct folder. ML also has the compatibility check which I like. Link to post Share on other sites

Humbleness51 1 Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 you should use the turret mod Link to post Share on other sites
Jasenty 18 Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 you should use the turret mod I would have to agree with Humble right now, since you did a modspotlight on it, it might make sense to put it in. The turrets could keep you company and you could also use them to protect you while you build with BC or IC or any other type of building. Not to mention that they're also pretty boss.

Jasenty 18 Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 Hey! Stylez! Have you heard of the 4096 ID Edit mod? (I hope that's what it's called...) I haven't experimented much with it, but I would guess it allows for more ID's for more mods! It would allow better placement of your ID's as well(: Food for thought.

Stylez 160 Posted July 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 Yeah I've seen that but haven't really played around with it. I'm not sure how compatible it is and it would have to be something that's updated all the time. I think I read something about Forge having or getting this feature soon but I'm not sure.

Jasenty 18 Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 Yeah, I read that too, after I did a bit more research. Anyways, Thought it might help you out a bit(: Link to post Share on other sites
Stylez 160 Posted July 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 Yeah, I read that too, after I did a bit more research. Anyways, Thought it might help you out a bit(: So far I'm not using enough mods to hit the 256 limit so I'm still within my comfort zone. Plus I don't want to add TOO many mods as then it becomes extremely labour intensive every time an update for Minecraft comes out. Link to post Share on other sites
dutchvuurvos 2 Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 You could take a look at the planes mod http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/182918-125flans-mod-rewritten-and-now-totally-awesome/ It's technical, it fits the industrialized theme and makes travelling around easier.

I've looked at that one but if I were to get a vehicle mod it would be the Trains and Zeppelin mod one as it integrates with Railcraft, Buildcraft, and IndustrialCraft.
