[@nonamecrackers2]

Dude this is insane. I remember playing Project Ozone 3 in Kappa mode and thinking what we did with machines was cool... the amount of machines, and holy, the sub AE2 networks and cables is so satisfying in your base and out-surpasses what I've done tenfold. I've loved the idea of having a mega factory of multiblocks, chemicals, pipes, and machines in modded Minecraft and what you've done looks like a dream come true. I've always been intrigued by GregTech NH but I doubt I'll ever be finished (took us like 2 years to finish Project Ozone 3 since we kept getting burnt out, at least I did). Props to you man!

[@dashinking]

I think the cabling makes it look more complex than it actually is, as it takes simple concepts and expands them on a large scale. It was fun to run around my base with everything working though lol

[@AnAbsolutelyRandomGuy]

​@@dashinkingfactorio also has a type of AE2. Actually 2. Logistic system (bots) and trains. Honestly they are easier to use

[@wumi2419]

​@@AnAbsolutelyRandomGuybig benefit of AE2 is on-demand crafting, which in GTNH can be parallelized easily. I have played a different pack with AE after being temporarily filtered by xenoxene, and I began appreciating amount of improvements to AE GTNH has. What is easier in Factorio is machine spam. As you have bots that will build the factory for you, while in GTNH you only have yourself, multiblock projector and maybe ring of Loki. But to me one of attraction of GTNH is the exact opposite of easily printing machines: exponential scaling in similar space.

[@dashinking]

Thanks! I agree that, until some months ago, there haven't been too many popular GT series due to the time investment and barrier to entry. I've noticed that it's been becoming more popular lately tho, with packs like Star Technology/Monifactory and some new GTNH series popping up over the last year. I also think that most packs don't really need ae2 systems to be this extensive, or they have Refined Storage as an easier-to-understand and serviceable alternative.

[@Likorys888]

Hytale = RPG and combat thing. Vintage story = Steampunk and Lovecraft thing. Factorio = tech stuff but no progression from nothing (aka stone age). We need a ultra hard survival game 3D with focus towards the technological age progression - from stone age with naked player to the galactic age where player is the type 3 civilization godlike creature that can bend reality and even create new universes. Endgoal would be a creating better Universe and finally ascending into creative mode.

[@creeloper27]

This is incredible, waw, everything about this was great, GG. A few questions if you do not mind when you have time :D 1) Can you elaborate a bit on the workflow you used during the pack mainly? Did you you design systems to be balanced using spreadsheets, by drawing diagrams, by freestyling and eyeballing it as you go ingame or something completely different? Also, did you keep a To Do list or tree of sorts or just used the quest gui to guide you each time you logged on? I am super intrested to hear about that part of the playthrough as well if possible :D 2) I noticed you did not invest time in making builds more complex aesthetically than they need to be, a flat 2d center to outwards flat design mostly, was this done on purpose to cut on time (as I imagine that would have drastically increased the time to complete) or are there any other particular motivations of why it was done like this? Maybe a more basic and efficent design is just faster to work with and less distracting I guess? As an extra do you mind (if possible) sharing some links as well? 3) I have never looked into literal hardcore technic modpacks too much personally, would you say this is one of the hardest technical modpacks currently in existance? Are there worse ones? If so how recognized are them compared to GTNH? 4) Why solo and not with friends / others? Is there a particular reason? 5) Do you think GTNH will continue to grow and get updates in the future? Is it worth investing some time into as a fun milestone to reach and community to be in on your opinion? 6) When is the last time you touched grass? XD

[@dashinking]

1. I never really cared all that much about ratios or balancing machines; if one section of a line was bottlenecking, I'd just add more machines or increase power usage. For the most part, I either used a flowchart (most of them being made by C0bra or someone else on the nh discord) or winged it by seeing what kind of resources the system required, setting up ways to obtain them, and then linking everything together. For progression, the first thing I typically focused on is power, and then secondary stuff like production and upgrades unlocked in that tier. The questbook falls off hard after HV in describing your options imo 2. Yeah lawnbasing is pretty common in tech packs because it makes placing everything very easy and there aren't any builds to work around. I'm also inexperienced at building at large scales. About the links, I'm not sure what you mean but a comment I made has some which I can't pin due to a dumb youtube change. 3. I feel like GTNH isn't that "difficult", rather it's a time sink. Most extremely long chemical lines are just a ton of simple inputs/outputs or can be skipped entirely, like kevlar/bastline. Maybe something like Terrafirmagreg would be harder but I have no idea. This is definitely the longest one though. 4. I started this world right after a multiplayer run I joined died in IV (hosted by someone else), and I didn't do multiplayer since I had no idea how to host a server myself and I wasn't very integrated with the community. I wanted to learn about every aspect of the pack in this run just to experience everything, but somehow I ended up completing it. 5. NH is still constantly getting updated. Just scrolling through the upcoming features channel gives an idea of how active the devs are with adding/changing stuff. Whether or not you want to invest this much time into a game is up to you, as getting stargate is 100% not worth it solo lmao 6. Today

[@dashinking]

Honestly, I never got into this pack expecting to complete it. The only previous modpacks I had finished before were Nomifactory/ATM 7 which are far from grindy, but one thing that did help was having people I could ask about progression points to avoid decision paralysis. Another thing is that I tended to focus on short-term goals which is more manageable than looking far into the future, as achieving a bunch of relatively minor tasks does add up in the long run.

fantastic work! this really look like it took dedication and resolve to finish. Any tips for someone like me who’s starting GTNH fairly soon?

[@dashinking]

Take your time and don't expect anything in your base to be permanent for a while. There are many things you'll have to get used to like the GT energy system, hunger/mobs being awful earlygame, and microcrafting, but once you get past HV you'll probably get the hang of it. Consistently keeping on top of basic materials and power is important, or else you'll be spending hours waiting on things that you wouldn't otherwise (like EBF ingots, plastics, crafting parts, etc). Additionally, discord.gg/gtnh is a good resource if you'd like more help on what to do next, as there's tons of helpful ppl/useful information there.

[@alexandrbespalov2041]

No need for sleep tonight Sweet dreams are overrated

[@lambda653]

I have a very naive suggestion, coming from somebody who knows absolutely nothing about this mod or minecraft in general, but what if instead of building all these machines by hand, you built some kind of redstone 3d printing contraption that would automate the process? Then, you could build one of these machines, and it would go on building up to a hundred or more buildings in a line while you're AFK. Would that be feasible?

[@dashinking]

Most of this wasn't built by hand as the ring of Loki from Botania gives you the ability to place a lot of multiblocks in parallel. It pretty much cut down almost all the work of placing thousands of blocks which wouldn't really be feasible to automate in any other way. It would be cool if you could somehow use redstone to make stuff tho example: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p6aUoaScmtqSlc0si=fB5_wQCl3rvXc4ir

[@lambda653]

@dashinking ahhhh. I see. So you pretty much are automating the building already, it's just that the configuration of all the blocks can't be automated and that's what takes up most of the time?

[@dashinking]

You actually can configure most multis with Loki (including wire cutters for batch mode or screwdriver to switch machine type) which is really convenient. The only things that actually end up taking long are waiting on universium from EoHs and possibly other passive resources.

Are you normally gated behind resources unavailable on earth (without that one blood magic meteor spell and maybe bees)?

[@dashinking]

It depends on what you need. Aluminum and titanium are much easier to get if you visit the moon compared to having to produce them through crops/bees/meteors, while some planets have benefits that you can't take advantage of (like mining planet rock for mysterious crystal dust or the energy multiplier for Dysons).

It was a custom jar for the adv wireless setup kit since it wasn't included in the nightly version that I'd used (which was the last stable one at the time). Instead of having to bind wireless connector pairs one by one, it allows you to queue a bunch of connectors then switch to bind mode where you can connect them all in order.

The easiest method is using the Ring of Loki from Botania with which you can place markers that copy the blocks placed near a set position. For large multiblocks, you can place the controllers/hatches by hand with Loki then use a multiblock projector to build the rest automatically.

I don't think my PC is the best as it was a prebuilt, but it ran pretty well and only had to be restarted occasionally due to garbage collection.

make an in depth tutorial for uaal setup

[@dashinking]

I already linked one in the description since I didn't make the design. If you need further explanation, I'd suggest joining the nh discord since there are already a few posts about universal automation and you can ask questions about it.

how did you fight pollution?

[@dashinking]

I disabled it in the configs, but I don't think it would be that hard to deal with in IV+ if you manage it correctly or ignore it outright w hazmat suits/higher tier armor

[@zend3r312]

@@dashinking I didnt disable it. I know its a thing, I could do it theoretically, but I just want an authentic playthrough. I dont judge tho, its up to you if you play with or without it. I just really dont want to spread my base and I want to have everything nearby, but the damn pollution...

Have no idea how do you play more than 1k hour. On like 200-300 hours game starts breaking itself. Items disappear when i put them from inventory to inventory, orefinder stops detecting veins etc.

[@dashinking]

what version are you on? I rarely ever hear of issues that severe unless there's something really wrong with the version

[@reosin2536]

@@dashinking it was 2.5.1 java 17-21 when i was playing

[@dashinking]

I was playing on 2.5.1 for a large part of the playthrough, that's pretty weird

[@gearsgamer7115]

All that for some iron and sticks

Well, at least i got a lot of watch now since ifound it

Fun fact: pronouncing some of these item names is as hard as the pack itself. Need to look up something in NEI/JEI?, may the force be with you.

how many hours you spend beating gtnh?

5k world uptime, ~2k playtime

@@dashinking that's hilarious dude ok bro so I have one problem - I cannot build beautiful bases, like mechanisms in aesthetic form, and totally noob in building cool stuff that I've seen in 100% of KZbinrs by the even middle game of playthrough of some modpack I used to play modded 1.7.10 with ic2 only and even back at that time my base and mechanisms were ass how can I fix it? like how can I gain sense and technique of building stuff? is there any good starting modpack that would you recommend that can help to me learn the ball? like try to learn some design ideas for bases and mechanisms

[@dashinking]

I'm not really much of a builder either, but I think that looking up inspiration on styles you like and trying to practice with different ideas is a good way of improving. As for technical stuff, maybe some packs more geared towards beginners could help you stay organized, and you can check how other ppl build them to see what you can change.

[@bekhruzizbaev8692]

@@dashinking yes makes sense, I honestly think you should start uploading you walkthroughs if you decide to play another modpack, liked your style in the video

[@dashinking]

I might but I'm not sure if this kind of style works with an episodic series since there's no voicing/tts to fill in the blank space as there's a lot of downtime. I'll consider it tho
