@ LPSN, Luke have you abandoned your "under construction" base next to the portal? Not seen anything change there for nearly 2 months. I want to make a proper room/construction for the portal there but not much space to work with. Bobhughes has vacated that cobble house already.

With fire!!!!

I suggest you look closer to home re your comments on "respect" before dishing it out. If you had some respect for other people's stuff then you wouldn't have found yourself being shouted at. And to blame me for your stupidity was just the icing on the cake. Any normal person would have started off by apologising but I guess that was to much to ask. How about you spend 2 hours making ice moulds and then I lead a load of creepers to it and raze it to the ground and let's see what happy response you make eh?

The fact that you have donated to the cost of running the server makes absolutely no difference, however if is going to be an issue for you then it can be refunded back to your account just as quickly as it was donated.

If you hadn't blamed me for your stupidity then you wouldn't have got the response you did. That was what pissed me off. It's fixed now and has a fence round it at some distance so let's move on.

You want the technic pack.

You can't use your old map.

You can steal any buildings from your old map and put them in a newly generated world using MCEdit or similar (No I don't know how to do it!)

Old maps wont have any of the mod items that are made by world generation, ores, rubber trees and many other things will be missing for you if you try.

Hit up Direwolf20s videos on youtube for tutorials for industrialcraft and buildcraft tutorials also redpower2 (all in the technicpack, direolf doesn't play technic pack though so not all applicable)

Thanks guys, that's clear.

Depends whether you're the sort of person to stick to one area or do loads of exploring. I'm in single player world I haven't ventured more than about 300 blocks or so from spawn, as I had all the biomes close by and it was decent terrain. I still don't see the problem with moving to new chunks to build rather than scrapping all your hard work.

So you didn't do any mining or explore any caves?


I clarified fully after your first post, the mod makers themselves advise a new save not using old ones, I gave all the information after you pulled me up on it first time around, I don't know what more to say.

You haven't added any information for the questioner here just tried to make out that my advice was bad, I don't write mods, if the makers say to use a new save, who am I to argue?

But yet he actually says in the discussion on reddit that the mod will work fine in fresh chunks, which is the same as any mod. It's like when the terrain gen changed in minecraft a while back, it was advised that new worlds would be needed and it all got very scare-mongery but the old worlds continue to work fine and the new biomes generate just fine so long as you walk to fresh chunks. Yes, some sharp edges resulted where the terrain suddenly changed but that's a small price to pay vs. scrapping everything you've done since you started playing the game.

Re exploring in my map, of course, but I'd say at the very max I didn't travel more than 1000 blocks from spawn as the terrain was such that I had no reason to. The new terrain/biomes mean you have to travel now to find all the resources, but you didn't need to in the early beta terrain and alpha prior to that.

The only reason I replied was because you stated that it categorically wouldn't work - "you can't use your old map" - when in actual fact that is not true even by your own admission above - "the mod makers themselves ADVISE a new save" - two completely different things... The OP specifically said that he had builds that he wanted to keep and my response was simply stating that it could be done and happened to correct yours at the same time. I'm not understanding your hostility, sorry.
