Mod Spotlight Actually Additions Pt2

[@mike44njdevils1]

The vertical digger mines obsidian at the same speed as other blocks. I harvest obsidian from the end with it!

[@meepnax]

Michael Westpy So you could just put one on top of an end tower and break the whole thing?

[@MindCaged]

One of my favorite blocks in this mod are the crates, they're awesome that you can get a tier one early game with just some wood. They also go great next to a Tinker's Construct Crafting Station to hold all the crafting ingredients along with JEI to click the recipes into the table. The leaf blower and a few other blocks can be used to automate floral fertilizer in botania to make the flowers and collect them. That phantom placers and maybe the shock absorbers could be maybe used to make a wither spawner. Maybe also the killing beam thing on the laser to kill the wither, assuming it works on the wither anyway.

[@suntannedduck2388]

The thing I think dire should have mentioned about canola is that the press, fermenting barrel and oil generator can work next to each other without the need of fluid pipes.

[@karsten69]

maybe he didn't know at the time of recording?

[@ValosarX]

Thanks for mentioning this

[@Chaogmu]

The phantom placers make for a great wither farm. you can use the RF Tools shields to form a kill chamber and the phantom placers with phantom boosters to build a wither inside. It does take some timing trickery, but RF tools sequencer is up to the task. just make sure that you place the skulls after the soul sand and that the next wither isn't built until the previous one is dead or out of the way. A tower setup is good, it lets the summoned wither fall before exploding. Draconic Evolution has a really powerful mob grinder that can insta-kill the wither. so that part is also good.

[@TheDawgMiner]

Phantom Breaker + Soaryn's paintings everywhere = most powerful mod ever :P

[@RyanYeako]

You can place the canola press, fermenter, and oil generator right beside each other and the liquids will auto port to the appropriate machine.

[@chunky539]

I have had so much fun exploring this mod in Natures Story. So far the drill is my favourite item. At first the RF generation was a point of contention for me, but i just supplemented it with other ways of generating it.

[@sethb1689]

Some really neat blocks, just the power usage and generation numbers are all out of whack.

[@SirHorseLegs]

You make some pretty decent mod spotlights, Direwolf.

[@TOTFAHRER]

This picture fits the comment so well I'm fucking dying lmao

[@dog-ez2nu]

neat. cool.

[@dylanwest2308]

"Cool" "Neat" "Not bad"

[@Avenger222]

This mod looks great. It'd be very unbalanced with other mods but the config files can easily fix that.

[@ashrefnabil5347]

I just finished watchin part 1 of the spotlight and part 2 just gets uploaded right afterwards, cool.

[@SaadTheGlad]

“And the cows, will do the cow thing” nice save

[@RoraxPlays]

So this mods RF usage was balanced around Draconic Evolution then :P ?

[@Ellpeck]

What do you think is the problem with it? I've never gotten any complaints about balance in the past, so I'm definitely interested in what you don't like :)

[@RoraxPlays]

You have things squarely balanced around the millions, which is a bit out there. base Thermal Expansion should be your guide point on RF balance and go from there. Your basic item battery holds 1 million RF, compare that to the most basic form of item energy storage from TE the Leadstone flux capacitor. it holds 80k Or take your oil generator with basic canola is 40rf/t, compare that to the dynamos from TE, which all run at 80RF/T the difference they use is the time it runs for per fuel operation. with the highest possible yield 2million RF (over 20 minutes) from the magmatic dynamo running on blazing pyrotheum Keep in mind I'm not telling you you can't exceed 80rf/t or have your capacitor hold more than 80k at the lowest level. But from how blown out the proportions are in your mod, reigning things in would be a good idea. You might know the mod Avaritia, the one that adds the 9x9 crafting table. That mod was a joke intended to poke fun at the power creep seen in modded minecraft. The irony was that it wasn't seen as a joke and people picked it up without realizing what was happening. The irony here being that power creep was already so far out of control that Avaritia seemed normal Avaritia was inspired by mods which were just going crazy with power creep especially those in the field of RF hense why Avaritia allows you to create creative energy sources. Just. don't be part of the power creep. its all I ask. 1.10 is a good start to fixing that behavior from 1.7.10 and it would be nice to see other mods not made redundant by power creep

[@FFMgamingtv]

Ellpeck I would enjoy this mod a lot more if you just toned down the rf generation and usage

[@RoraxPlays]

lalybum thats a false statement that you can use in pretty much any situation. Criticism is healthy.

[@RoraxPlays]

lalybum Yes, no one said they can't but criticism is not going to stop the person doing what they want. You apparently don't understand what criticism is.

[@jacobsteinebronn2966]

The player interface is massively overpowered

[@GlitchReaper]

Useful blocks for so many purposes. I can easy see those phantom blocks being used in some creative pranks. Watch your back with Soaryn if it's ever in Forgecraft! #industrialgradetrolling

[@garcipat]

The player interface seems a bit op with the recharging feature. EnderIO Wireless charging needs a lot and has only the charging festure.

[@ltsam5815]

It has a limited range. As in super limited to 16 blocks.

[@suntannedduck2388]

Also the vertical digger used to have multi-block thing below it I think. But if not now or just not shown then cool.

[@crummy4773]

Damn he should really make those storage crates more expensive, they pretty much make the iron chests mod useless.

[@ltsam5815]

They are expensive. The top tier requires you to empower multiple blocks. The middle tier requires you to use the Atomic Re constructor.

[@crummy4773]

The "small" one has the same amount of slots as a diamond chest and it only costs wood.

[@ltsam5815]

I have never used the iron chests mod. I think I could never get over how little space they provided for how expensive they are. IMO the Actually Additions one is a better option.

[@brandyyn]

LOL Was in the middle of watching part 1 and part 2 just got uploaded LOL

[@FFMgamingtv]

Man, I thought mfr was OP. This is a whole new level of opness

[@venomsss001]

wheres the powered furnace have inputs and outputs? can be configured like pulveriser?

[@cheemytgf2500]

26: 06 it has a nice glitch where if you activate magnet mode and stand close to the hopper items will duplicate

[@Nuvenor]

I don't see a use for the phantom block thingies.

[@jamietus1012]

Lol, dire using hoppers, wouldn't have thought I would have ever seen that. (He's only using it ender io liquid and item conduits don't work)

[@purplefanadic234]

the heat collector would be great with blood magic

[@KingLazy123]

not rly the ritual is 3 by 3 and so you cant fit 4 of them in small area i mean you could just use one and take it to the location but do you rly want to do that for 40 rf per tick

[@purplefanadic234]

Euan LP why would you need 4 doesn't the ritual produce lava in a 3 by 3 area above it?

[@Chaogmu]

It doesn't place like that by default. There are ritual upgrades that will do it.

[@sethb1689]

+Euan LP Not sure if it is still a thing but i am pretty sure there is a tool in Blood Magic that lets you move the area the ritual effects so you could move the rituals elsewhere and make them place the lava around the generator.

[@vt-1493]

If multiple rituals can use the same non-master ritual stones, then you could theoretically use a center fire ritual stone for all 4 rituals and not have to move them. Otherwise, moving the lava source or making multiple sources isn't terribly hard once you get to a tier 4 altar (which is as soon as you can automate LP production anyway).

[@gumi3866]

Hey hello direwolf, did you know you can repair too tinkers construct tools with the item repairer ?

[@ZacVrono]

Is there a way to make the phantom placer not place 2 blocks, and just place it in the location it is linked to? Trying to make a wither spawner, but the 2 block thing is messing it up, and I don't want to have to control the order with a bunch or redstone.

[@TheIceThorn]

do the block protector protect from a draconic reactor explosion? it sounds like an immovable object against an unstoppable force, lol...

[@jamesharushi409]

isn't the fantom face a thing from rf tools that connects to every chest or entity that can hold items in a radius of your choosing

[@Rumson21Trib]

The cows will do the cow thing :'D

[@VincentVegas]

Wooooooowooooo

[@suntannedduck2388]

Did I miss something about the bio generator. Like how you get the 'biomass' or biochunk item for the bio generator from what I remember seeing in JEI.

[@zacharymorris3775]

the bio mass is used in compost, you use normal seeds and foodstufs for the bio generator

[@ThunderBlastvideo]

PIRATE SHIP!!!

[@ThunderBlastvideo]

Chronoman quark adds it, but it's really rare

[@adzierla1]

So is there a good way to power blocks in this mod remotely? I saw the battery, but how would I use that to run a vertical miner that's away from my base?

[@finn3346]

does the shock absorber work with other explosions like the wither boss?

[@JerryBlaze7]

I wonder if the bio generator will accept the seeds/plants from pam's harvest craft, have you tested this already?

[@Kingwut117]

OP mod, I will be using very little of this in a legit survival playthrough... The little things like Flax and stuff is really useful, but all the power gen and other tech options are just very poorly balanced Simple canola farms with a bit of oil production scales up so ridiculously quickly for power comparable to big reactors.

[@Ellpeck]

Why do you think it is op? The higher tiers of Canola are complicated to automate and the Empowerer conversion also takes a bit of RF - that's where I think the balance comes from. But if you have any suggestions on how to make it better, I'm always open for such things :)

[@Kingwut117]

***** Oh, hey! Well, I guess I'm basing numbers off of pre-1.10 mods, where your early game RF was lower. Maybe things have changed in 1.10? With AE2 or that new storage mod, the automation of the power gen options like oil or the lava generator is very easy. Formation and Annihilation panes take care of all the in-world crafting mechanics (I like those btw). And now that I think about it, these are all just complaints about how AA interacts with OTHER mods. The power consumption of some of these blocks aren't too bad if you use AA power generation, but imagine trying a forestry setup to run that repair block! As long as all the RF generation/consumption numbers are configurable, I have no problem with the mod. I think all the blocks and everything are great, the numbers for RF power just threw me a little

[@shoom7103]

There is one supreme use of the phantom face... if you connect it to a generator it COPIES the generator for FREE, doubling power with no extra cost, cool right?

[@rdbeast1796]

Anyone know how to get little amounts of oil out of an oil generator As its too small for a bucket and wont be used same thing with my fluid placer

[@gillester6591]

came for the phantom redstoneface... and guess what?

[@holdenb341]

DireWolf20 do u know of any liquids hotter than lava to power the heat collector faster.

[@StormageddonTMS]

Woooooooooo

[@ellieinsert_here9408]

Why does my farmer only plant one crop? (1 seed on one block) and not the whole area

[@AederVaher]

would greenhouse glass work on ender lilies?

[@Rumson21Trib]

Time to test it!

[@vt-1493]

Almost certainly not. Ender Lilies limit what times they can grow. I think you can only grow them once a minecraft day, maybe twice if you plant them on Endstone. Plus, bonemeal makes it go back a step (at least it use to). If it applies the bonemeal effect (rather than tick acceleration) it will cause it to not grow at all.

[@jacobsteinebronn2966]

Use the photogenic insolator from thermal for ended lilies

[@eitanoidos6304]

Leaf eater... munchdu... hummm

[@GlitchReaper]

I saw the connection with Botania there to. That and the Heat Generator works a bit like a Thermalily.

[@eitanoidos6304]

yea probobly a easter egg

[@any1alive]

om nom nom lefs.... i noticed it too but that seems like a excessive amount of power

[@azzanine1710]

That or a deliberate appropriation of a established idea, RF is kinda missing out on the intricacies some magic mods have. Most tech mods these days have you merely pipe items or fluid in to a box weather it be single or multi. I mean if that's your thing fine... but actually additions seems to be attempting to provide both for tech minded players.

[@imakaikai]

Can I make a unlimited oil supplie like with unlimited water?

[@Extra_Mental]

This mod adds some pretty cool stuff, however the trial and error stuff is kind of annoying. I like it when mods are simple and useful.

[@EpicGamerScout]

What sort of trial and error do you mean? I haven't played all of the mod in my world yet but it seems relatively simple if you have the book.

[@Extra_Mental]

Well it has JEI integration, and within JEI it will say put down an item for the laser to covert to the new items, however some require them to be placed in block form for coversion. It's more so the mods that try to be different that make things harder to understand.

[@connorwoods3652]

Dangit, I can't get the phantom redstoneface to work, and that's the one you skipped.

[@Kavukamari]

it's reverse of what I thought it was supposed to be you power the location that you clicked rather than the face, and the redstoneface is the block that emits the power out to what's touching itself

[@SylverGaming]

neat

[@upgiving3510]

nice

[@daveyodineal549]

But what does the placer do!?

[@meepnax]

Can the Breaker break obsidian

[@awabqureshi814]

Did someone mention transvector interfaces. Please tell me it works with eu.

[@awabqureshi814]

lesslighter Insane UU-mater gen is now my endgame in the Direwolf20 pack.

[@awabqureshi814]

lesslighter >evil laugh Then to make a river out of it...

[@kavitakoria8895]

which mods do you use

[@kianchilds2317]

Soaryn plus phantom energyface equal much

[@Ellpeck]

First again! Man, I'm on a roll!

[@henryalexander7325]

Congrats, I'm so jealous. Wish I were you, man.

[@eitanoidos6304]

make a spotlight on mekanism

[@jamietus1012]

eitanoid os mekanism hasnt been updated yet

[@eitanoidos6304]

it was updated to 1.10.2

[@rockbandinthusiast]

it's not public

[@eitanoidos6304]

it is i am playing it right now

[@vt-1493]

Mekanism doesn't upload to curse (yet). I would suggest downloading it through the Hermitpack modpack. The official download site goes through AddFly, and that is full of malware and horrible adds.

[@ferncamper4433]

Does you noticed the little bug with the farmer that it puts the seeds on the wrong side of the farmer together with the farmed products. you need to build a system which pump out products and seeds an refill the left side again with seeds or the farmer will run out of seeds...

[@kovacsjozsef4033]

This mod is cancer, BRUTAL EXPENSIVE POWER usage..Just, cancer.

[@silverzdk]

Yeah but the power gen in the mod is really good aswell

[@TheDawgMiner]

Got to balance cheaty god mods.

[@dubleeble]

But hay it would be pretty good mod if they just balanced it.

[@Kingwut117]

both the power consumption AND power generation is just soooo ridiculous compared to any other mod. They really have to tweak the numbers to be more in line with something like MFR or Thermal Expansion. Really easy automation just from farms gives you oil generation for 350 rf/t PER BLOCK, kind of dumb

[@TheWatschman]

both Thermal Expansion and MFR are not available for 1.10 so your statement is insufficient. In my opinion it is pretty balanced but hey that's what the mod variety is for so that everyone can play with what they like.
