Re: Hardercore Spawn [Spoiler Thread]

Before I was only willing to use the full force of my midgame arsenal in ‘special occasions’, for example a risky nether trip. Now I use it even for the most mundane tasks. I agree, It has opened my late early to mid game wide up. Specifically the "tier" of HCS after the first nether port...

Re: Show us your builds!

Ion and Sterling beautiful work!

Ion has the prize for fantasy build with that texture and design but Sterlings build into location and scale are very impressive!

Re: No audio but mod is working

Any issues I have had were due to copy errors when building the jar. I am cheap so I build the jar without a zip program so I have to take it a folder at a time or the copy will miss things. Also if you have ever had other recent mods I would say kill your whole MC folders. All of it everywhere and ...

Re: Hardercore Spawn [Spoiler Thread]

Has anyone HC spawned a second time after reaching portal in tech?

Something miraculous happened. I landed at the same location!

Did anyone else get this or should I buy a lottery ticket?

Re: How to do stairs in multi floor buildings?

Try half slabs! They look better if you are going to not have anything underneath. Also they look much better wider to avoid falling.

Re: Show your HCS Shelters

Yours is beautiful! Is it notional or an actual HCS?

Here is mine from my first post portal HCS. Not much on looks, this is pre mechanical power but it has been my savior so it has that "lived in" beauty to me.

Re: Hardercore Spawn [Spoiler Thread]

After you get your overworld direction by compass it should be the same in the nether. So just pay attention to your direction when you enter and make frequent marks to keep direction as you travel.

For myself I am going to head back in the over world to make more outposts on the way back.

Re: Hardercore Spawn [Spoiler Thread]

I have found melon seeds in the mineshaft below my base at spawn I don't believe mineshaft loot is tied to hardcore spawn. Well good to go then, just surface changes, which makes sense because of the depth element and rarity. Edit: Well whole pumpkins post portal HCS are a thing, hooray! Side note,...

Re: Hardercore Spawn [Spoiler Thread]

So on the HCS after portal creation I reached a mineshaft near bedrock and it has melon seeds.

Unsure if this aids how far out I must be or it is always a roll of the dice.

Re: Hardercore Spawn [Spoiler Thread]

My question now is - I build a nether portal at one of these locations. what happens when I die now? I don't think it would be centered on further portals. My thought is after that first portal it bumps the possible range from 0.0 to 2000x2000 or more? Then maybe further once you open the end. Off ...

Re: Hardercore Spawn [Spoiler Thread]

After portal I just HCS and pretty sure as guessed it is progress gated.

I wonder, how close does it put the player to non abandoned places.

This update is pretty much what I was hoping for when I got Stellaris.

Some are on sale that had not been recently so you might grab them quick ...

Re: Mines too good a source of wood? Or just too good?

Mines are an excellent source of resources but I've always felt that's compensated for by how terrifyingly dangerous they are. The passageways are small and claustrophobic, providing little space to retreat in a fight, and the 2x1 doorways heavily restrict line of sight, making it extremely difficu...
