So, general consensus seems to be 'do what you have to do, but if you remove something, replace it with something else to compensate' I've played Twilight, and it's a fine mod, certainly helpful to the more thaumcraft minded individuals, but given the density of stuff and the potential imbalance of Dome motherlodes as was stated earlier, who knows? As I recall, there was a mod similar to Twilight, but much more light and upbeat as opposed to gloomy, it also consisted of floating islands, which might be easier on the server, but I'm not an IT guy. I'm still somewhat disinclined to have another dimension be the replacement if it comes to that, seeing as there's the mainworld, nether, end, mining world, deep dark, and probably something else I can't think of right now. I don't know how many additional alternate dimensions the server can handle. I mean, it'd be nice to have in a perfect world, but we're a server on a budget.
maybe they can go through the code and remove the hills, or maybe there's even a config option to disable the dome hills? we should probably just remove the mining world, now we have the deep dark, i personally don't know anyone using it right now, but it is good for early-game mining however..
I actually don't like Twilight Forest, so I'm not all for it being added. And with more dimensions adding more strain to the server, my vote would be a definite no. About Chocolate Quest - I only played for like 2 hours after Alice Deux was started up (wanted my base copied over but nobody was there to do that), so I don't know any of the newly added mods anyway and I'm not opposed to stuff being removed as long as it's not a really essential mod. Just my two cents. I don't know what's going on right now, but some weeks ago mods were talking about disabling the Deep Dark for performance and general OP-ness reasons.
Oh. Well then, maybe I should give it a visit once I've progressed a bit. I don't know how many automated mining methods are left now that the focus is more on powerful tools and manual mining (so I've heard), but you can do normal mining in the overworld as long as you keep it underground, so I agree with kurisu that the mining world feels a bit obsolete. If it was removed we could likely handle a new dimension.
Its primarily the chunk generation that is costly on resources. Not so much the running of the dimension itself, so if its pregenned it probably wont be bad at all.
MPT guys, i cant be on Skype right now, but keep MineTweaker in mind if you are removing the mod. Otherwise you risk breaking most of our recipe modifications.
The whole Twilight Forest completely ruined the point I was trying to make... Has any Modpack/Admin read it ? (on Page 2) I don't want to sound self-centered; it's just that a big part of my SK experience has been driven by the adventure factor that is provided by ChocoQuest, and I just really hope that another mod (doesn't have to be of a similar fashion) will bring back that thriving lust for adventure, discovery and rare items. Mio~
I'm kinda wondering the same. Was kinda hoping to play when I got home from work, but c'est la vie. I'll just play some Savant - Ascent.
twilight wont be added because its just as or even more buggy than choco quest and isnt a very server friendly mod
We (as in I) may end up editing Chocolate Quest's bytecode and intentionally destroying whatever bugged item it is so that it doesn't happen again, at the cost of the functionality of that item.
Aww, and here we thought it would be back up tonight xD Glad there's possibly a way to fix it though! Shoulda seen that coming by now
