    Ram error

    You don't even have to uninstall all versions of java.  On both windows and mac we autodetect installed 64 bit versions and offer to use them instead when you launch the game.  Just follow the dang instructions right there on the screenshot you posted!

    Lack of order shards

    in Blightfall Discussion

    Posted · Edited by CanVox

    The spawn rates are the same for all types for all biomes.  I think I read somewhere that the spawn rates can be affected slightly by nearby nodes (???) that might be wrong and/or out of date.  In any case, I tend to look in the taiga for order shards because order nodes spawn there, and it works ok for me, even if it's just confirmation bias.

    Blightfall download

    That file is very large and due to the way the launcher measures progress it appears to be making zero progress while it's being downloaded.  We're working on delivering file size info to the launcher so that we can provide more accurate information, but in the meantime, just be patient during download.

    SkyStone (Please help)

    in Blightfall Discussion

    So, if you've never used AE2 before, the way it normally works is you build a thing that'll point you to the chunk that a skystone meteor is in, and then get the presses from a special chest in the meteor.  You normally need like 4 or 5 meteors to get all the presses you want.  These meteors are also usually underground, it's a huge pain in the butt.

    The way it works in blightfall is that you trade a stack of skystone for the presses.  This comes from the meteors.  There's a few meteors, and they're all on the surface, with no chest.  They're pretty visible, usually in a shallow crater.  They can sometimes be hard to spot under the fibrous taint, though.  One of them was even on fire when I was around making it super-visible.  Although I think that fire goes out after a bit of the chunks being loaded.

    if you need more hints, let us know.

    Long term food strategies?

    in Blightfall Discussion

    If you want to stop needing food, there's an item in botania that can do that.  If you want to need less food & get a break on the diminishing returns, trading rep for food works pretty well: the emergency nutrition bars you get from the food request in the supplier don't have diminishing returns.

    If you're just done with this, there's a cheat area on the top floor of the jaded.  It's vaguely visible without breaking blocks, but you have to break blocks to get to it.  You'll also need op privileges to use the cheat.

    Tinker's progression in Blightfall

    The mining & resources book also has this information.  Any metal that has "Mines As" can be used for tools, and can be used to mine the level of blocks indicated.

    Not shown in that book are alloys.  You'll have to check NEI for more info about that.

    Here's some example minerals, but this is by no means exhaustive!

    • Hard Non-Metals: Flint, Netherrack, Pink Slime, Ghostwood
    • Soft Metals: Copper, Prometheum, Certus Quartz, Darkwood, Deep Iron
    • Hard Metals: Bronze, Oureclase, Nether Quartz, Silver, Fusewood, Black Steel
    • Diamond:  Iron, Steel, Nickel, Invar, Bloodwood, Manasteel, Enderium
    • Supra-Diamond: Platinum, Astral Silver, Ardite, Vyroxeres, Ceruclase
    • Alien: Carmot, Mithril, Eximite, Cobalt, Kalendrite
    • Extreme: Vulcanite, Orichalcum, Manyullyn, Celenegil, Dark Steel, Pokefennium
    • Epic: Adamantine, Sanguinite, Atlarus, Tartarite, Desichalcos

    Also keep in mind that the excavation focus has no limitation on what blocks it can mine.

    allow-nether is in the server.properties file, as I said.  But it's not a problem in SSP.

    To have access to the portal there are a few prerequisites you have to meet.  One of them is being crazy enough, I believe.  The other is reading the crimson rites book.  There are others, I think.  Regardless, though, you don't meet them.

    Colonizing the planet?! (And clearing taint)

    in Blightfall Discussion

    1.  There are several options for clearing taint- many of them are improvements on the ethereal bloom in some form or fashion.  Thaumcraft's Basic Alchemy research unlocks the Ethereal Bloom research, and that unlocks a number of increasingly-better taint-clearing options.  Keep researching these options and you'll unlock progressively better options until you unlock the Dawn Machine.

     

    2.  Once you gold medal every region, you'll receive a badge that you can give to the drop computer and colonize the planet.
