[Minecraft 1.7.10][Fionapack]

[Monocrame]

 

Next I wanted to add a little repair, so I made a chisel.  Oops can’t add moss.  Weird, I thought there was modifiers last time.  I guess its just one of those things you learn after wasting some time.

[Monocrame]

 

It was time to go mining.  I had hoped to get a new better pickax.  This would be a relief after playing so much tinkers construct.  I guess making a vanilla quality one will have to do.

 

[Monocrame]

 

This is one of those packs where you only ever get 1 pickax because you can swap out parts to make it better and never need more tools or junk.  It gets experience over time and gets better almost like magic.

Tin proved too much for my iron pick however.  I knew I should never have used those two tin gravel I had before.  The much more valuable tin is stronger than all it seems.

On my way out of the cave I tried in vain to mine certus again.  I had found 11 iron, 31 copper. 11 other copper, and 4 OTHER copper.  I hope copper is useful.  But if its anything like iron, tin won’t have anything to say about it.

[Monocrame]

 

Suddenly, my pickax shook in my hand.  It leveled up, and got stronger!  So that’s how you progress in this modpack.  You have to do tinkers construct, or you can’t mine tin.

[Monocrame]

 

Eventually I found a lot of tin ore near bedrock and some silver ore.  The tin ore was glowing too like redstone.

Heres what level 14 looks like.  A lot of tin ore, some scrap, and some metal flakes.

[Monocrame]

 

In the end, I got a grand total of 41 iron ore, 11 copper ore, 58 other copper ore, 12 other copper ore, 4 other copper ore, 6 lead ore, 2 other lead ore, 23 tin ore, 4 tin other ore, 4 other tin ore, 4 aluminum ore, 9 aluminum ore, and 26 redstone (I did not get all the tin).  I was kinda hoping for some other kind of equivalent redstone to gum up my inventory space.

I was thinking of how to upgrade my tool, and then it occurred to me - bronze can mine tin, so maybe it really is better than iron!  So, I will remake the bronze stuff which can mine tin.  At first, I wanted to make a tin pick to replace the iron one cuz god knows, tin is better than iron.

I had made a little tree farm in the road of the town, and when I got back I needed inventory space.  I knew just what to do.

[Monocrame]

 

After that, I put lava and water in the smeltery.  I guess they don’t combine anymore lol.  Waste of time.

At about this time, I didn’t know what Tinkers Construct wanted me to do - just keep mining endlessly until my 1 pick can mine obsidian?  I made a nether portal to get the hell out of this nightmare.

[Monocrame]

 

I went into the nether vs 3 ghasts and mined some diamond and redstone ore.  I even could fight the pigman with my OP bronze armor.  And then I got back.

Things took a turn for the better.  I made a philposterer’s stone and turned all my cobble into stone magically.

[Monocrame]

 

Once I had the transmutation tablet, getting obsidian was 10000 times easier and I could easily get a stack and make my new pick head.  Guess what the level is now - obsidian!  I can mine certus!

[Monocrame]

 

I put my certus in the table and it unlocked it.  Now I can make as much as I need.

Once I had the transmutation table, everything was easier.  I didn’t even need a me system because I could store almost everything in there.

I got a blaze rod and made a simple EMC farm.  The blaze rod gets macerated, which increases the total EMC.  Then, a new couple blaze rods are made from the EMC.  Any extra rods are sent to be turned into coal secondarily, to keep the macerator running.

[Monocrame]

 

Now I updated the pack.  My stick and obsidian transmutation recipes are gone!!  I looked in the configs, and sticks, seeds and a whole lot of random other things have the EMC removed manually.  I guess there are still ways to get a lot of EMC but it’s selectively harder?

I can’t even condense a interdiction torch anymore.  Wood, and food cannot be transmuted anymore.  Only random things…

I just looked at the philosopher’s stone and the recipe is actually impossible.  It requires a nether star instead of a diamond.  It’s like I’m playing a totally different pack.

[Monocrame]

 

Once I had the generator, I could make a flying ring.  Sorry to say this wouldn’t work next time even if you made a nether star.  I’m pretty sure everything helpful in Project E will be removed.  Rubber also doesn’t have EMC.

I can no longer make wood.  Which mean u guessed it - I need more inventory space, and I need to make even more ticon stuff, and ax to save time.  I can’t make a collector at all for EMC.  Got to wonder if the chest is next on the chopping block.  I’m gonna reset my world today and try play it without OP mods.

[rocksmasher99]

I will tell rmt and slit about this forum post. Do you like rmt's modpack? Also the chest in projecte won't be banned only reason the other thing was because it gives free emc slit was saying.

[Monocrame]

I do like it.  I'll explain more later, for now I'm doing a new playthrough which is like a tutorial.

[Slit]

My goal was to make ProjectE a mid to end game mod that just makes life easier and some non renewable resources/ hard to come by resources easier to get. The mod still has emc for many items just nothing that can be grown or mass produced (wood, cobble, plants, mob drops, along with a few ores and stuff have been reassigned new emc values according to their rarity). Overall 'free emc' has always been a flaw of EE and its branches as well as the dirt cheap crafting recipes. 

[Monocrame]

 

I loaded the new version of the modpack.

[Monocrame]

 

So what you want to do is get some oak saplings, and stone, and find a clearing.  Wool for a bed would be good if your slow.

[Monocrame]

 

Ok found it.  Plant your saplings in a line.  Now go get sand, gravel, and clay for a smeltery.  You will also need lava and some iron ore for a bucket.  Make glass with extra sand.

[Monocrame]

 

Make a flint tool just like this.  Pretty much no other materials work / can be collected.

Just mine and search scrap piles until one way or another you get a better pick.  You can break scrap piles, cause creepers to blow up the unmineable iron, or level up your pick a couple times.  I got a single iron ore and then made a iron shovel which I then used on iron gravel ore.  Then I made a pick to get more iron.

[Monocrame]

 

I had to take a break after doing this, and in the meantime, I found out a better way to get the gravel ore before you have a iron shovel - use the gravel trick with the torch under it to collect it.

[Monocrame]

 

Once you get the bucket, pick up some lava in the portable tank to fill the smeltery.

Make a wall out of cobble in your base to prevent mobs.

[Monocrame]

 

Make a igneous extruder.  No power needed.  Upgrade your pick.  You can now mine everything.  Use a dev null when mining now (it removes cobble - because you have the extruder for that)

Mine a lot of iron and make a tool forge, now make a hammer.  A obsidian hammer.

You could make a lot of cobble with the extruder to melt into seared stone upgrades for the smeltery.

[Monocrame]

 

Make a nether portal and pump lava to get a lot.  Make a stirling generator from ender io to use it, as well as portable tanks.

[Monocrame]

 

Make a enderio capacitor and leadstone jetpack for flight.  Then make power armor legs with step assist.

[Monocrame]

 

Once you have these two, you can go jetpack caving in a extreme hills biome.  Pick up a bunch of emeralds and shear some sheep too.  I got a lot of iron, which before was hard to get.  You can now cave in ravine walls and such.  Don’t forget to use the glider too.  It is much faster with flight, step assist, and the hammer.
