I'm not dead. I'm delving into the arcane arts that is LUA in order to be able to auto-craft with Create's Mechanical Crafters.
Stupid things.
@trinsec There are probably worst things to waste your time on honestly... minecraft is cool, havent played it in a bit though.
@trinsec I dont mind vanilla minecraft at all, it means you have to get more creative to automate. More fun and more of a challenge IMO. Vanilla minecraft lets you do some super advanced stuff but you have to figure out how to do it with some pretty primitive tools. I have, using vanilla minecraft, automated just about every aspect of the game before.
@trinsec Certainly sounds fun with the mods in its own right.
@freemo Sure, but vanilla doesn't have the cool tech and magic elements, and I would miss that immensively. Plus we usually play the 'Expert' versions of those modpacks, which is annoyingly... difficult.
The modpack creator will have mixed the recipes up so that you need Mod X for Mod Y's item.. but to make Mod X you need Mod Z to be able to do that. But hey, before you can craft that thing from Mod Z, you have to prepare up some sort of altar and do sacrifices in Mod A.
The amount of times I've lost track is countless. 'Ok, now I've made this altar and I've gotten this resource.. errrrrrrr.... why did I need this again?!'
But we love to be severely punished like that somehow. Don't ask me why, because me and my core Minecrafting buddies complain about this daily and exclaim 'This is bullshit' and yet we keep on playing.
We must be insane.
