[@wilczyca2678]

@@KosmonautKong i think it's mostly cause it's old, modded minecraft with a very broken modpack and the video description says that one of the series-ending conditions is running out of frames, so probably sooner rather than later lag will creep in even on modern versions, tech mods start lagging pretty quickly once you stack enough machines up and modpacks usually require you to do so to progress

[@DeuxisWasTaken]

Quick note to people. who didn't play modded in Ye Olde Beta Times: Buildcraft is one of the oldest technical mods, older than Forge itself. The Quarry is positively ancient, I think it's the first auto-miner ever created alongside Buildcraft's other auto-miner, the mining well or whatever it was called. There's also a funny story about the latter. It only mines a one block wide column directly under its block, and was supposed to be this early game thing where you leave it running with a coal generator or something like that and go do something else, before you can afford a quarry. But it was discovered that it has no speed limits, it just takes power and mines blocks, so if you can supply enough power, you can mine all the way to bedrock in under a second. This was combined with RedPower's Frames and some form of wireless energy to create a moving line of miners that mines an entire chunk in seconds.

[@Hexagonaldonut]

Buildcraft is also where the original standard for Forge Energy arose from, though Thermal Expansion was the one that really made it into what it is today. Also, yeah, mining wells were really deceptive in that way. The funny part is with the advent of Create, we have essentially attained that chunk-devouring dream once more; it just looks steampunk-y now.

My favorite memory of one of the power armor mods (might have been this one, maybe another) started when I kept getting attacked by creepers. I put the coil gun on the armor and hovered over my base for several in-game nights in a row, just blasting creepers out to max render distance. Very satisfying and cathartic.

[@NightLexic]

Ah minechem, lovely mod, very broken. From what i remember one could literally start on a superflat and synthesize everything one would ever need.

[@just-linx8271]

There is a Modpack that's part of the ME series that does this.

[@Nassifeh]

That's why it's not really "broken" per se, any more than like Ex Nihilo, right? If you install a mod that's intended for resource generation then it's not broken if it generates resources. That's a pack issue, not a mod issue.

[@CallMeJoshua]

@@Nassifeh That's where you are lost. Back in the day "packs" were just collection of mods. There was no re-balancing or modifying of other mods. It was just a collection of mods installed on the client. This type of pack pre-dates Ex-Nihilo and skyblock packs almost as a whole (although there's an original skyblock modded out there for pretty old versions, using EE2)

[@fxshlein]

Did a little digging in the history of the Mekanism git repository, and here is the list of the actual Enchantability values for this version: obsidian: 100 lazuli: 22 lazuli (for paxel): 50 osmium: 30 osmium (for paxel): 40 bronze: 100 glowstone: 80 glowstone (for paxel): 100 steel: 100

[@NeuroticGoose]

Awwww. I so wanted to believe that it was, like, -1 or something and got casted wrong (yes I know that isn't how Java works but let me dream).

[@fxshlein]

​@@NeuroticGoose I felt bad about ruining your dream, so I did some further digging in the actual Minecraft client to find out whether there _could_ be an integer overflow happening down the line, but it doesn't seem to be the case. Funnily enough, Mojang even accounted for the value being below zero, and in that case the function which is supposed to add the enchantments will just do nothing. After doing all the math, they even double-check that the effective value of the maximum possible enchantment level is between 1 and the maximum integer value :( (Although I only have the decompiled client for a pretty recent version open, maybe in the age old version this modpack is based on they didn't have these safeguards yet, and you could essentially cause an integer overflow)

[@Dizrak]

​@@fxshlein It might also not be related to melanism nor Minecraft itself, but some other mod. Those things love to break each other, even if most of the time it just leads to game crash

[@fxshlein]

@@Dizrak Yeah, especially in the good old days before we had things like mixins. But I think in this case it really is just terrible balancing, it makes sense if you compare it to the vanilla values. From what I saw of the vanilla mechanic yesterday, these results in the video "seem right" from the way they are generated and the weirdly high values in mekanism.

Man, I remember this era. I was 11 at the time, which meant that I didn't know how "logistics" worked, so most of my time in the Technic era was spent on playing Voltz and blowing things up with antimatter explosives.

Fun time, actually.

You can still do this, you just need a better computer.

We then scaled this up so much the server died.

Hell. Yes.

[@spork9255]

The blaze powder segment reminded me of a trick I used to do back in old Tekkit where a rotary macerator made 3 blaze powder and you could use Project E to turn that back into 1.5 blaze rods... With a few pneumatic tubes this quickly became an infinite EMC generator more efficient than Project E's other built-in generation methods

[@Hexagonaldonut]

The power of Equivalent Exchange 2 and later ProjectE is to immediately nuke the entire game's balance from another solar system the second you find any kind of infinite loop.

[@Akronymus_]

Back in my days, we used RP2 and EE to use bonemeal for planting grass in a dark room and get infinite EMC like that. I dont miss how broken modding was back then

[@manoflead643]

My favourite was the gold pickaxe/armour repair loop. Printing them with 1 durability cost 1 EMC. Throw that into an alchemical chest with several repair talisman in it, then pump the fully-repaired armour back out to melt for EMC. Because those talismans stack, and you have every slot in the alch chest to use, you'd get some pretty ridiculous throughput.

"It's safe to say that, in this packl, the sky is longer a limit; it's a trip hazard." I absolutely adore this line.

Random guy who found this video. Nostalgia blast. I loved 1.7.10/1.5.2 era modpacks. I started with the original *technic* pack which was insanely broken for many reasons. Cannot wait to see more of this series. I'd love to see you break this thing wide open.

"It's safe to say that in this pack, the sky is no longer a limit - it's a trip hazard." -Neurotic Goose I love this line so much

those 12 year olds were the backbone of the minecraft mod scene

man do i remember big dig, massive part of my childhood, glad your playing it.

Recommended duck with crazy eyes, stayed for the shenanigans. I love seeing runs like this that use intended mechanics in unintended ways. Glitches are fine and all, but it’s so much more entertaining when you can bend the rules in your favor. Take this sub, you’ve earned it.

Glad i found this video as someone with no experince making a pack who wants to at some point seeing how one issue can balloon out and the more the worse and even small seemingly good tweaks can ruin the difficulty like the ore spawn amount and not trying to balance everything top down like allowing you to use a much better tool than base tools ever could be

[@edward9487]

Ahh... the glory of Kitchen Sinks. Aaaaaand immediately you have decided to break the laws of thermodynamics on the quest to break the laws of matter and energy.

[@Itual]

The amount of nostalgia induced by this video is insane, so many of this mods I’d not seen in forever

[@atpyro7920]

RAH THE BIGDIG EPISODE seriously, been waiting for this since the Gregtech Q&A

[@bloodakoos]

the entire 10 minutes of this video is a mekanism moment

[@enogvizush3033]

See, stuff like this is why we banished you to the void in the first place.

[@thehouseofcorvens2258]

The goose heard my prayers and I didn’t even speak them. I was like oh I really hope I can get a series of him playing Greg Tech, new horizons or some other model pack like that with no arbitrary restrictions low and behold here it is

[@mewxtherealitygod4706]

0:53 omg thats such a good line

[@gustavjacobsson3332]

I don't think it was this version of mekanism, but there was a version where the electrolyzer which decomposes water into hydrogen and oxygen required less power when fed some energy upgrades than what the hydrogen generator produced, resulting in a laugably simple infinite power generator which produced something like 160 MJ/tick. In that version, you could also pretty easily 4x your ores because, the 2x step requires nothing, 3x step requires oxygen (just an electrolyzer) and the 4x step usually wants a full brine tower to produce the chlorine, but can also accept salt instead, which is trivial to autocraft from water in mass quantity if pam's harvestcraft was in it.

[@cookiesversuscream]

ngl, I'm impressed this is gonna last more than one episode. there was a solid minute where I was legitimately convinced that you were going to beat this entire modpack in less than half an hour.

[@monumentethos]

I am by no means a mod expert, but I love this video because you take a modpack to the extremes. I'm sitting here watching this video while I struggle through Botania and ProjectE 😭
