goreae Posted October 11, 2012 Posted October 11, 2012 Hello! I am looking for mods that add interesting farming mechanics, like you have to plant something and harvest it later, or just some sort of time-based balancing. without losing too many supplies. I already have a few mods in the list, all of which add cool farming things, but it turned into a tech pack somehow: Twilight Forest: getting fireflies from growing trees is just awesome. pure awesome. forestry: not only does it supply peat, bees, and automatic farms, but it gives you ways to use your crops in a productive manner, not just stockpiling for the apocalypse. IC2: the entire crop system is just too amazing to exclude. Redpower: eloraam deserves a medal for her flax. it also adds moss stone and cracked/moss bricks. Thaumcraft?: TC2 had crystal farming, which is pretty cool, but I don't know if TC3 will have it. Railcraft: coal coke is simply genius. I love it so much. Mightypork's neo melaphyre, if it gets updated: allows a semi-balanced way of farming ores. millenaire: maize, rice, mud bricks, just plenty of farming stuff from other cultures, most of which requires unlocking. xycraft: I've seen the screens, and there are like 4 or 5 new crops, which will be used in the mod somewhere Pam's Mod: adds too many plants n'stuff to the game. if you know of any mods that add cool farming stuff, please please please tell me! thank you!

The_DarthMoogle Posted October 11, 2012 Posted October 11, 2012 Pam's mods are definitely super groovy. Pretty sure it's SMP too. But hey, half of these are already in both packs, and the others have already been suggested :D Quote

But hey, half of these are already in both packs, and the others have already been suggested the thing is, I'm more interested in creating my own personal pack, but it somehow turned techy on me. the idea is to make it a farming pack, but it just so happens that tech mods have awesome farming mechanics. how ironic!

althalus1337 Posted October 12, 2012 Posted October 12, 2012 Bioxx is working on an amazing farming system (quite a bit of it is already in) into TerraFirmaCraft. But it probably not compatible with the other mods you've listed though. Quote

Although TerraFirmaCraft is totally incompatible with everything evar, I heard on the grape vine that that was one of the authors having discussions for inclusion into the launcher. Quote
charcharmunro Posted October 12, 2012 Posted October 12, 2012 Actually, TerraFirmaCraft is compatible with a lot, it just makes a lot inaccessible if they ever use iron at all. Quote
goreae Posted October 12, 2012 Author Posted October 12, 2012 yeah, I've seen videos on terrafirmacraft, and it's too much of a full-game conversion for my tastes. I'd use it on its own, but not with anything else really. It would dominate over all of the other mods, making it so I forget there's any other mods installed until I see a beehive or a rubber tree. it's a good suggestion, and a great mod, but it's too much for the pack.

goreae Posted November 27, 2012 Author Posted November 27, 2012 Okay, I've discovered pam's mod is really pointless. yes, there's dozens of new crops, but the vast majority of it is to make ridiculous and complicated food items. some of which actually require you to mine some sort of ore like salt. I'm never really pressedfor food in minecraft, so all those crops would just be sitting around useless. at least in xycraft, the crops have alternative uses to food. Quote
theprolo Posted November 27, 2012 Posted November 27, 2012 You should check out some of the crop card collection in the Ic2 addon forums. They improve the number of crops drastically. Quote
Nolz Posted November 28, 2012 Posted November 28, 2012 There's also Xie's mods. He/she has some interesting farming mods too Quote
