Implemented Regrowth 0.8.0 (Now at 0.8.1)

"Yes, you fool, keep wishing. For the more wishes you make, the more powerful I shall get!"

*more cackles*

P.S. My forum sig for years has been... "You don't know the power of the Desi side!"

 

Reading the official forum page for Regrowth helps: [1.7.10] Regrowth - A WIP HQM pack - Now Listed! | Feed the Beast (last 10 pages should suffice for everything about 0.8.1)
though I might want to add that 0.8.1 is not a flawless update either (0.8 had some bugs you don't want to have on a public server)
from what I currently read most of this are recipe bugs, which can be fixed manually by the server owner, but I would advise to wait for a more 'stable' update.

also, in the most recent version of Regrowth, starting out on a small island in an ocean is made possible with new tweaks, so yes, worldgen changed, but starting in an ocean "shouldn't" restrict you in any way.

 

and regarding the whole 'changelog' thing: the most up-to-date one is managed on dropbox by the modpack-dev: Dropbox - changelogs.txt

 

I know that there were tons of oceans when we generated the world for RG UHC. I don't know exactly what he did but I believe @BookerTheGeek found a way to fix that.

 

You will need to gen some land for regrowth, the last gen was very short of land and it was hampering people badly, especially since the regrowth notes specifically advise against starting in an ocean biome!

 

I've seen those warnings as well but, I've also seen lots of people make water world bases with no apparent downside. Maybe it says the crop isn't in a proper enviro but still grows like netherwarts do. Can we help ypu guys explore some of this world gen? Tomorrow is already too late ;p[DOUBLEPOST=1442553669,1442551904][/DOUBLEPOST]

Better late than never I guess! Everytime Iv'e gone though unexpected resets the chatter is almost always along the lines of "Never Again, lets find a server that doesn't just randomly reset" and every time it's happened to me I've dropped out of contact with people I had played with consistently prior to that, on multiple servers. I even bailed for a while after one for about 6 mo to a year. It does happen and you can see it in the chat when people are caught unaware. Usually happens when new people join a developed server. Maybe there should a development index on ea server that shows how advanced the average player is so that new players can find fresh server.

 

I did fix it on UHC. We just changed the size of the oceans to bee 100% less then normal, and increased landmass by 100%

 

There are options that I could build a new server spawn place

 

i am sorry to ask that but is there ETA for the reset ?
nevermind I just saw the update, weekend it is

 

Changes needed in configs to fix world generation:

"Large Continent Frequency"set to x25 of current value
"Medium Continent Frequency" set to x25 of current value
"Small Continent Frequency" set to x25 of current value
"Large Island Frequency" set to x25 of current value
"Medium Island Frequency" set to x25 of current value
"Land usage" Set above 130[DOUBLEPOST=1442630698,1442617467][/DOUBLEPOST]Also, the config setting for merging land mass being allowed needs to be set to true.

 

Its not impossible to build a ocean biome base, but it is more difficult, even to the point of frequent trips to Farmworld to pick up rock!, I know I built that island ;>)

 

I am just thinking if I should wait for the regrowth or start on ferret

 

Idk, ferret is okay, but regrowth is okay lol. So i'd say one of those 2.

 

now it says 8.2 but I cannot connect, got a huge list of wrong mod versions, the launcher doesnt offer update, uninstall and instal again didnt help, somehow dont have the mood to do it manually, I guess the modpack in launcher will get update soon.

 

In the mym launcher you will want to right click on regrowth and select force update.

On FTB you will want to delete/unintelligible the pack and then reinstall the correct version.

 

I am using mym launcher, force update also didnt help, I will try again though

hard force update didnt help. Gonna watch another episode of House of Cards and try tommorrow, maybe some cachew will invalidate in the meantime or whatever it is.
