Awesome! I hope you enjoyed it! I feel like this season really hits its stride starting from this video onwards.

Yeah, I think every recipe should refund the runes no matter what, so you only ever need one of each.

@@EnderpriseArchitecture disagree. I finde it strange, that crafting Tier II and III Runes gives you Back the Runes you used to craft these higher runes. Creating those runes as a mechanic is really well done. But somehow I really don't Like doing it 🤔

Ooh that one looks great, I just saw Gaming on Caffeine playing it! I'm tempted to go back and try Project Sacrifice, it's got some weird mods in it that I want to check out. But I also have on my list Mystical Block, Industrial Village, and Stoneopolis! Some day I'll finally go back and create my own modpack, it's been a very long time and this time I'd actually do a quest-based one instead of a kitchen sink pack.

@@EnderpriseArchitecture I was tempted to do Project Sacrifice next in our Multiplayer, but having seperaten blood Networks threw me off

Oh I definitely did this between episodes to max out the flowers! Worked like a charm!

Thanks! That's a great tip! I wonder if there's a maximum number of types of items that the RS interface can handle?

@@EnderpriseArchitecture No idea If there is an actual number, but the Transmutation Interface clearly does its part 😀

Nice work! What have you already played? Sky Factory 4 is an oldie but classic! If you don't mind a bit of grind, Feed The Factory is very much in the spirit of this pack, but it's not a skyblock. FTB Skies I enjoyed a lot until an update corrupted my world. 😭 I definitely take suggestions! But my queue is getting awfully long, too....

@@EnderpriseArchitecture I have played a lot of packs. I love sky block questing packs. So I played Crash Landing/Forever Stranded, Sky Factory, Project Ozone, FTB Sky Odysse, Compact Claustrophobia, Break Out, Mystical Block, ... (You see a pattern here? ;-) ) Mystical Block was a pack I enjoyed a lot! I played it more than 5 times in a row. After finishing it in a normal way I came up with a challenge I called Hippy Challenge: You have to keep your impact on the world as low as possible. You may build a regular overworld base as usual, but you cannot: - Kill anything other than: 1 Naga 1 Twilight Lich 1 Wither 1 Ender Dragon 3 Chaos Guardian (no Chaos Withers --> annoying but doable) 5 Guardian of Gaia (as few Pixies as possible) You may hurt a blaze but mustn't kill it (you will understand if you play the pack). You may only take 4 Stone, 3 iron ore and 4 diamond ore from the mining dimension. Nothing more and you have to replace them as soon as possible once you have the technology to recreate those ores. So keep in mind to mark the areas where you took them from. Goal is to only take what you really need and give it back asap. In the end the mining dimension shall look like you've never been there. The end dimension: Only to kill one dragon and 3 chaos guardian and obtain their chaos shards. (You need them to finish the pack, also: keep in mind you may not kill blazes... you'll see...). Taking the dragon egg is ok, because it wasn't there when you fist came to the end. "But what is about other dimensions?" Same rule as for all the other dimensions: broken blocks have to be replaced. You can borrow them to learn them in Project E, but you must not steal them. You cannot kill anyone/anythin. Chest looting is also forbitten. You may borrow chest loot to learn it with EMC, but you cannot steal it. So put it back! "But Mawoh, this way too easy!" ok, then don't use EMC... You may use Project E (to get the gem armor, use the philosophers stone to transmutate blocks/saplings/...) but have to craft everything in a normal way. You cannot use the Transmutation Table/Tablet, you cannot use the energy condensers, you cannot use the EMC-Links to automate anything. You may not use emc in any way. Still too easy? "Compact Hippy challenge" Go into creative, give yourself a personal shrinking devide and a 3x3x3 compact machine. The only thing you may do in the overworld is to grow stuff on your starting block of dirt, place compact machines and portals to other dimensions that will not work inside compact machines. Everything else has to be build inside of compact machines. Challenge accepted? ;-) (if yes: please go into creative and check out your spawn in the mining dimension, I had very good once where the allowed ores spawned right next to me. I had terrible where I spawned inside a 2x1 air pocket. Once you have a good seed: enjoy. But having to play the early game 5 times in a row to finally have a propper seed was just stupid!) EDIT: I found a pretty good seed: 2902704976719352929 in the mining dimension there are iron and diamond ore near by.

I think I'll probably end up building some sort of mana farm in the very near future, whether I can keep with Energizeras or not remains to be seen!

@@EnderpriseArchitecture we'll see....

I assume I just need to make a huge Big Reactor? That's what I've done in the past, at least! But it looks like maybe not all the turbine pieces are in this pack?

@@EnderpriseArchitecture I don't know how powerfull Big Reactors are in this pack and how annoying they are to set up. If they give you enough power: Enjoy 🙂 If you want 50.000.000ish rf/t and can't get there with BR: let me know...

Nice! I did the same!

Today we will work towards Big Reactors for basic base power and Flux Network. Damn, my first plastic automation was so bad! But I have learned!

I was hoping that with a reactor and unlimited uranium I'd never have to worry about mana again, but so far it's very very slow.

@@EnderpriseArchitecture I made a crazy farm that can fill a mana pool in 1:30 min and only needs 4 flowers 😀But it requires access to EMC links and a basic emc farm.

@@mawoh3027 *Basic* EMC farm? Oh I have completely flipped from never touching Project E to going in completely on it. Spoiler: I maxed out. Should hit around episode 12.

@@EnderpriseArchitecture let's go! 😀

Thank you so much!

Oh that's really smart! Thanks! I got it to work in Techopolis by only sending one item at a time, but obviously that doesn't work with multi-item recipes.

As in real life, I always forget! I've also gotten out of the habit of carrying food on me all the time. Honestly in my own modpacks I tend to turn off hunger entirely via mods; along with the requirement to sleep, it's really one of my least favorite minecraft "features."

@@EnderpriseArchitecture There is a feeding upgrade for your backpack. I am not sure what exactly it requires but you should be able to craft it and its upgrade at this point of the pack. Then simply dump some food into your backpack and the backpack will feed you according to the settings you chose. Alternativly there is an infinite Steak from Project (??? no Idea from what mod out of the project-series it is). it will feed you infinite times but always costs emc worth a steak. Put this in your backpack, put down a power flower and your food is solved forever.

I try to update Tuesdays and Thursdays! (I don't always make it though. ;)

Are you playing Sky Revolutions multiplayer or a new pack?

@@EnderpriseArchitecture this one as a Multiplayer.

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!

Thank you! I think that part turned out well!

Pure luck!

Oh, great to know, thanks!

If he isn't interested, i am very much! Please give me at least one of both.

I have tried the valve and can't get the redstone signal tuned closely enough to actually stop the machine before it explodes. I've tried 7, 8, and 9 redstone pieces but it's always either too low or too high. :/

@@EnderpriseArchitecture The thing with the safety valve is that it vents pressure so that you don't explode. Only way it can explode is if you build pressure faster than it can vent, and to my knowledge you need several compressors and/or many upgrades to accomplish that. I think the valve vents at 4.95 bars to have a little bit of buffer. . Safety (or security) upgrade to the compressor itself will make it stop produce pressure once it gets to a certain amount, so should be able to replace the redstone setup.

Some of the recipes don't seem to work nicely because of the ore dict stuff, I'm struggling a bit with how dumb this version of NEI is with wood, for example.

@@EnderpriseArchitecture wood is REALLY annoying!!

This would be a *perfect* time for that tip!

@@EnderpriseArchitecture hardened glass from thermal is wither proove... That's all I am going to say Gaia: Build a FLOATING fallen kanade and stand on it the entire fight. "Somehow" take care about Gaia and the mobs, but don't leave the flower. This will raise you up +1 from the floor so the withering mist will not touch you ever. This way Gaia is really easy. Spoilers: I built one fallen kanade at the north of the arena and under every pylon I put a Bellethorn. Full mana pools under each flower and you are done. Then I built 6 Thorn Chakram to attack Gaia and this fight was over before it started.

@@mawoh3027 Ah good, I'm on the right track. I just set up a massive obsidian generator this weekend in prep for the wither fight, and was already starting on thorn chakrams! Thanks so much!

@@EnderpriseArchitecture obsidian will not contain the wither's blasts. Hardened Glass will. you only need 11 to build a wither trap: Y groundlevel: one block of hardened glass Y + 1: Air Y + 2: Air y + 3: 3x3 of hardened glass centered on the groundlevel block Y + 4: Air Y + 5: last block of hardened glass centered on the groundlevel block. That is all you need to contain the wither. Build it laying on the ground, with the first block on the hardened glass on Y Groundlevel. It will spawn standing up with its head inside the 3x3 glass, unable to escape. You don't even need armor/weapons to kill it this way 😀

@@mawoh3027 Thanks for these! Both of those fights were ridiculously easy as a result of your tips! I don't love Minecraft combat so it was really nice to not have to try. Aside from the skeleton farming, I only accidentally killed one wither skeleton and deliberately killed a witch that was poisoning me to death.

This is exactly the mindset I had before I dared to play my first modpack (Sky Factory). What motivated me to try modded myself was someone who played himself and said: "I have no idea what I am doing, but I learn and have fun". I watched a lot of packs and finally tried it myself. I had to watch a lot of tutorials on how certain mods work. But isn't that exactly how any hobby starts? Having to learn the basics? I can only say: try it! Don't be discuraged by the overwelming possibilities. No one expects you to reach end game the first time you play modded. If I think about my first modded world and how proud I was about it, and how little of the pack I actually played... 😀It compares to a kindergardeners Picture that is hung at the fridge ;-) Give yourself a push, start in creative, build a machine and play around with it. Maybe check out a mob farm. play around with item storage, check out different ways to move/kill mobs with modded options. Just get started and one day maybe play a survival world and give it a go. You will not regret it. If you have any questions: just ask 🙂

@@mawoh3027 Like, one of my favorite mods is one that never gets added to modpacks. MineFantasy 2. The smithing system is fun, and the combat's pretty chunky. But yeah! I might give the modpack a try sometime.

I agree with @mawoh3027 - you don't have to finish the pack, it's just there to have fun! In most packs there are lots of things to figure out but typically there's a "right way" that it will lead you towards. Sky Factory 4 is a great place to start!

I just stumbled over a pack called "EMC to the sky". I have only played an hour so far but there is a sky block which has the basic starting stuff for you to get going aswell as a huge quest book that guids you through early game (that is what I have played so far). It might be a pack to get you going with modded. Just give it a try, play around with the first mods. Maybe you will enjoy it and keep playing. From there we are all in the same situation: "There is a mechanic I have never played with. Let's figgure out how it works (Through YT Tutorials, Google search, Wiki, Creative try and error, ...). If you want to try it and have any issues with starting the pack/mechanics in the pack: feel free to ask. I have a free weekend, so I have all the time in the world 🙂

Thanks so much for this! I'll start setting up some dedicated crafting automation for those fancy ingots!

Ah, thank you much for the tips! I appreciate it! Congrats on the reactor!

@@EnderpriseArchitecture Second update: I build a reactor + turbine from mekanism. The key / bottle neck is how much water can be provided to cool the reactor. I managed to provide so much, that I can burn the fissile fuel at a rate of 715 mb/t. So antimatter will be done quite fast. The turbine generates 49 million RF/t 😀 I guess that I will start working on the ultimate ingot soon.

😁

Thanks! I am suddenly in need of a *lot* of obsidian, so I'm definitely going to take your advice and automate it that way, that's really smart! You always have such great tips, thank you so much for continuing to help me out along the way!

Ha! That's amazing. I absolutely never would have thought of any of that!

That *almost* sounds like a challenge! If you haven't already watched it, in Feed the Factory I definitely ended up tearing up my old base and ridiculously over-engineering my ore processing, with an entire dedicated immersive engineering + thermal setup per ore! Though I don't know if I'll do that for *everything* this time... I might at least put the Immersive machines into compact machines...

@@EnderpriseArchitecture Anything with EMC doesn't need automatioin... But you might want do put your IE-Machines in a propper automatable space. No spoilers, but you are going to need a lot of something that involves IE, so better have the option to propperly automate them. Aswell as those annoying alloys (Melodium + Stellarium). You will always need just ONE MORE of those...

I have not figured out a way to get silk touch easily so far, but I did realize you can carry them! I edited out the bit where my bees fell straight into the campfire and died though - that doesn't count as a kill if they're too dumb to avoid fire, right? Right?

Yes! I only just got around to it in the next episode! Rather than using filters, I use another trick I picked up in a previous pack... stay tuned!

@@EnderpriseArchitecture locked drawers? we'll see...

@@mawoh3027 😁

Thank you!!

Thanks! I definitely went a little too hard on the clickers here for a moment, and had to undo a lot of it. But it's definitely become one of my favorite ridiculous tools! I was tempted to build a massive bank of clicker-cranks to power the whole base, but then realized that was silly. ;)

@@EnderpriseArchitecture honestly, silly works sometimes. I look forward to seeing all the shenanigans you get up to!

I tried to automate mana with the flowers that convert it from RF, but they were so slow I think I need a better way... 😒

@@EnderpriseArchitecture What flower generates mana from RF?? Spoilers ahead, if you want to solve your mana generation problem on your own: do not read any more of this comment. Mana production in this pack is really easy, once you have reached EMC. I assume that you have figgured out that we can create Blacker Lotus (BL) flowers as shown in the quest line. My setup is: Pull Coke out of an EMC link, dump it into a cruhser and press it into HOP Graphite Dust. This dust is hooked up to RS and an autocrafting system that tells RS "If there is a request for a BL: Dump one HOP Graphite Dust into this hopper". This hopper feeds into an open crate from Botania and drops into a (always filled) mana pool with a blaze mesh below (to create the BL). Those BL are constantly exported into a chest, with a hopper feeding into another open crate over another mana pool. It has a recessiv spark so it will always push out mana if possible. This second mana pool has a comparetor reading its mana level and locking the hopper at XX % (depends on how much you want. So basicly I am sitting on a chest full of blacker lotus ready to be dropped into the pool as soon as the mana is drained becaue I use it. This system has a fatal flaw. If I consume mana too fast that this pool runs empty I will not be able to generate any more Mana with BL. So I had to install some kind of backup to prevent this from happening. How to do it? Well, wouldn't be fun to tell EVERYTHING and leave nothing to figgure out on your own, would it? ;-) Other easy Mana Generations: Requires: RS + EMC: Just set up a few Kekimurus next to constructors that constantly export cake pulled out of the transmutaiton interface. it is REALLY powerfull! I went with 12-16 flowers, 4 panels and had to use 4 Elven Mana spreaders to keep up! Thermalily It is fun to build a functioning setup with those flowers. Lava comes from emc, timings can be tweaked with the hovering hour glass, lava can be placed with vanilla dispensers. If setup propperly (and with 8 flowers) it is quite powerfull. Spectrolus shouldn't be too bad aswell. wool has emc so you only have to figgure out how to feed in the correct order, get the timings correct and you are done. You see: plenty of options 🙂 If you still struggle and need more assistence: let me know. I am currently on vacation and have PLENTY of time to create farms 😀

@@EnderpriseArchitecture Mana spoilers 2: Dude! Go for spectrolus 😀 they are fun to set up and generate like crazy if done correctly! I just created a farm that only requires EMC links, the rest of it is vanilla + botania. It contains 4 spectrolus flowers and the system is able to fill an entire mana pool in 1:40! This will require Gaia spreaders to be that fast. If you are ok with 1:50 the elven spreaders will work aswell. The only annoying part about it will be to learn all the colored wool, teach it to the transmutation table and set up all the EMC Links. The rest is easy. EMC wise it isn't much. I guess you will use up a stack of each wool color to fill the pool which summs up to around 50.000 EMC. Update: I have tinkered around a bit more and now it is down to 1:20 min. The pool is filled to about 95%, then the generation will be shut off to not waste anything. It automatically start if mana is drained. This monstrosity is about 33x33x8 blocks, but it rocks 😀

@@mawoh3027 Nice, thank you! I figured the blacker lotus would be the best way to mass produce mana, given how cheap it is. But I'm *hoping* I can ridiculously overscale these flowers into a massive mana farm once I get a bigger reactor. I don't remember the name, but check the Botania manual under the extra add-on flowers (it's from a different mod I think). EMC is easy but feels a little cheaty to me - I know I'll *have* to use it of course!

@@EnderpriseArchitecture well, you don't have to use emc, but it will cause a lot of afk-ing it you want to avoid Project E. I once played the pack Mystical Block. It is centered around Mystical Agriculture and partially around Project E. I did a "no EMC-Run" in one playthrough. It was doable, but very grindy...

Artisanal, hand-cranked ores! I can charge double on Etsy. ;)

I had pretty much written them off early on, but now I've gone all-in on overproduction from sieving, it has really helped now that I need things like Uranium!

@@EnderpriseArchitecture I rediscovered them today for automating the runic altar in botania. Uranium. I was fortuned enough to have just the right amount as byproduct to reach EMC. From then on I just transmutated it 🙂 But now for botania those clicking machines are the key to automate the runic altar.
