Re: NVidia settings for 1.5.2?

With mipmaps on, with or without GPU or MCPatcher AA, leaves and vines lose transparency and become blurry when I'm not directly facing them or outside a radius. It does fix the Moire effect, though. The mipmaps are happening 'too close'? They should only happen at distances where I can't tell the d...

Re: NVidia settings for 1.5.2?

Okay, I found a combination that helps a lot - textures aren't distractingly bad, leaves look normal instead of banded. Anisotropic Filtering on (I chose 16x ) Antialiasing FXAA off (Having it on still made trees/dirt flickery - description says "turn it off if you notice artifacts") Antia...

NVidia settings for 1.5.2?

Far-away blocks of all kinds (grass, dirt, stone, leaves, ice) appear to shimmer and have bands/interference patterns scrolling across them whenever I move or turn. It's most noticable when I start or stop moving. Leaves are also suddenly darker while in motion, just due to more black pixels showing...

Re: X:COM 2

The hit/crit breakdown (as well as descriptions of buffs/debuffs/abilities) is already available by F1 or a '?' button while aiming the shot, but having it visible all the time could let you compare different targets a bit easier.

Re: Chicken Automation

I've done initial automation (seeds to eggs), but it uses a Wooden Pressure Plate, so either a Saw (so you'd need a Hopper) or 'being able to go long distances'. (Nether, or the food this would provide...) (Non-abandoned desert temples contain a Wooden Pressure Plate.) Buttons also need a Saw. (or S...

Re: Tips for Caving?

Get a shovel to search in areas you've already made safe instead of digging deeper. An iron shovel can usually pay for itself if you find more than one deposit.

Re: What's your door? - Base entrance thread

Currently early game, so I'm using dirt slabs for a door with grates for vision around it. I dug into a wall near to a lava-fall for some light outside and to catch mobs at night.

Re: Potato/Carrot Issue [Probable Noob Question]

The best place to check after those places is the change log:
-Changed how which crops appear in which villages is determined. Most will only contain wheat, with a few containing wheat & potatoes OR carrots (never both).

So, probably as intended.

Re: Farming Changes addon (Requesting Permission.)

As far as mud goes I'd like to leave Terrain Gen alone for now and instead make it a craftable recipe using a Bucket, Dirt, and Bonemeal to give more uses to Water buckets themselves. The dirt Planter recipe used to have a water bucket like this, but it was changed to help mass crafting. If this is...

The change log mentions the wood shovel's damage being made equal to a wood pick, but I don't think the stone one was changed.

Equals 270 cranks, or 54 hemp. One hemp gives 4 fibers. Before Hardcore Hunger, I made more than one millstone+handcrank to get it done faster, or just do it as you harvest instead of all at once.

Re: HC Hunger findings and balance observations

I started a new map after the update (standard biomes, no seed), so I've had a couple hours of gameplay in which I made no progress. I honestly got more exploring done by accidental deaths in that time (hardcore spawning) than I've had in any other map by preparing and moving out. I found pumpkins a...

Re: Early game in BTW with HC Hunger

The only issue is that since saturation on the first day has been removed, you're thrown straight into it and get 'Hungry' by the first night. Having started a new world with the update, I've found (died and spawned in sight of) two villages and a jungle temple. If I can get enough together in one p...

Re: Share your hardcore hunger stories

You start losing hunger really quickly now you don't start the first day with full saturation, so I decided to use dirt slab ramps everywhere. Got hurt by a skeleton underground getting coal, then f...
