  1. What is the setup of a smelter? I cant even set it up! I tried to copy the one in the book it just isn't working.

    First level, 3x3 square of seared brick (put this sunk into the ground for ease of use)

    Second level, placing all blocks so that they are outside the bounds of the initial 3x3, place a Smeltery Controller, at least one Smeltery Drain, and at least one Lava Tank. The rest can all be more seared brick.

    At this point, the smeltery controller should start working, and you can start liquifying things.

    To pour the melted metals, you need to put a Faucet on the Smeltery Drain, and a Casting Table directly beneath the faucet.

  2. Finally, after about 30 minutes of uncovering my idiocy and making progress, I am fully set up for smelting. Last thing: know of any alloys that aren't listed in the book? The book said there were more than just what was listed

    I haven't discovered any others, but i didn't do much experimenting.

    I'd expect steel to be an alloy of iron and one of the alloy-only materials though. tin or aluminum or something.

  3. Okay I have all the casts and enough bronze to last until the end of the world. I have a handguard, a tool rod, and a sword blade (all bronze). How do I put them together? Crafting table wont work

    The Tinkers Construct tool bench. Also, try reading the books it gave you. All the crafting info is available in those.

  4. I think I'm going to do what you did, and play on peaceful. I just can't see myself doing ANYTHING note worthy on anything but. My biggest issue is that you need good armor and weapons to get into dungeons, but you only find good armor and weapons inside dungeons.. And the void. But.. screw the void. Screw it hard. I got lost for like 2 hours in there with no idea how to get out.

    There's for sure some difficulty, but the trick is pretty simple. Don't engage anything as difficult as two skeletons until you have decent armor. You can MAKE decent armor pretty quickly, too. Diamond is pretty early game in Hexxit, because of the de-restricted ore height.

  5. And this will hopefully be the last question, and people may have answered it before but, I just got 3 copper. I smelted it all, and used the layout for a regular sword for it, and it wont show up! With TooManyItems it doesn't even have the recipe for it, it just shows, "Shapeless Crafting."

    I don't think there is a copper sword. The only use I can think of off the top of my head is as an alloy component. And the alloy that it's a component for is only used for casts.

    Don't worry too much about it, Iron is plentiful enough for tinkered iron equipment to take you really far.

    And your next likely question, i'll answer that as well.

    When you get to the nether, and can't mine those ores, look through your books and make the Alumite alloy. 5 aluminum, 2 iron, 2 obsidian.

    Don't bother tinkering that pick though, because you're going to replace it after about 10 minutes with an alloy of those two ores.

  6. Hey guys, I am having basically no problems now. But I do have one question, with the smelting set up, with all the lava tanks, etc. Do you absolutely need to do this? It seems like a lot of work but I won't rage because I have to, just want to know. :)

    If you want access to the high tier alloys, yes.

    Don't worry. It's not as intimidating as it looks.

  7. Or, you know, a mod pack with a number of good dimension mods and/or mystcraft.

    I'm going with magic pack based on constellations and magicy looking glowing runes.

    OR maybe it's an alien script, and those aren't just constellations. They're MAPS.

    I think the anouncement is that SCT is really a martian.

  8. That would be the greatest mechanic ever... You have to pay arms and legs to use high level alchemy, and you have to build a really complicated automail prothesis to be able to function normally. Once you run out of limbs, you have to get noobs on your server and trap them in a pentagram.

    Or if you want to be more sadistic, you could harvest the harmless, innocent, villagers.

  9. Hm... Unfortunately, I'm allergic, though all my friends do enjoy their peanut butter. Also, I thought a luncher was something that ate yoru lunch for you? Here's a free thought/idea: A luncher Launcher. ;)

    We tried that, but the targeting system was too hard to figure out. sct got luncher'd in the face a dozen times before we gave up.

  10. This may be a rather stupid question but anyway, I recently downloaded and installed JDK: (Java Development Kit) from their site but after installing was challenged to find out there was no icon for this program

    after messing around in the program files I found no way to actually launch this software

    has anyone used this/ knows how to use it? also do I need to download and install net beans too?

    A little further above, i posted a link to thenewboston. One of the first videos in their java series will tell you how to get all that set up for you.

  11. @ Jay, thats what I plan on using for learning java after I finish c++(im halfway through c++)

    It really is quite good. Codeacademy is better if you need help staying on track, because it incentivises at you like nobodys business. The problem is that it has relatively few options for languages. I'm going to be using it for Python soon, though.
