r/GTNH

Well 9 if i you count the one in the back

i made the machine and then was wondering why it wasnt working, then i looked in the recipe for a wire and i needed a programmed circuit, so i had to make that too

After almost 2 years IRL of playing more casual GTNH I finally managed to get the T1 rocket. Still enjoying GTNH quite a bit. Actuele paytime i'm in 260hrs.

Opened the portal, tried to extinguish the fire that the lighting spread, fell into the portal doing so.... the rest is history.

Seriously tho how can this happen ?

Once I updated to the dailies, I decided that I was going to try and do as much as I could in each age before moving on to the next one. I've since decided against that, but that was after I had spent over 250 Minecraft days in the stone age; I decided to finish out the year, knocking out a few bigger remaining tasks before progressing to the steam age.

My threshold for entering the steam age was placing the first steam machine (which, for me, will likely be the macerator or the forge hammer). I will be doing so shortly.

Things I was able to accomplish:

- I maxed out my hearts as much as I could; I have 67, with 10 base, 54 coming from food, and 3 from heart canisters. I ate every single Pam's food item and all the others I had access to (which only excludes the ones that require machines, tree breeding, blood magic, botania, or thaumcraft).

- I cleared 3 dungeons, and used the materials to get a lot of QOL items that require things like steel, and skip certain tool upgrades (I'm about to upgrade my pick to Cobalt, as I have like 1.5 stacks lying around).

- I also completed 6 loot games, 4 at max rewards, and have some useful items which will help me into LV.

- I bred every available crop at max stats under the new system (IE, I didn't touch the ones which require silk touching ores, as I didn't want to bother).

- I bred up some basic bees (common, dyes, etc.), though I didn't invest all that much time there.

- I've basically completed the steam age quest chain up through vaccum tubes, as they require a machine to make.

- I have all the materials ready to go for making a BBF, though I do have over a stack of steel handy from my dungeon crawling.

Now, was all this fairly pointless, and could I have done a lot more a lot faster? Absolutely. But I had fun with it, and I've got about as good a foundation as I could think of before moving on. I'd love to hear your thoughts! Happy Gregging!

P.S. 2.9 is very very fun, even on the dailies, and I highly recommend it.

P.P.S. All hail NEI autocrafting.

Oh boy, this took longer than I thought. I thought I would need 30 minutes max to craft this, but it ended up taking 3 hours to smelt my first cobalt ingot. Well, here's what I learned, and what I think I'm meant to do next:

What I learned

1. ALWAYS check recipe tiers, I ran out of asbestos halfway through because of this.
2. Pay attention to liquid ingredients. I forgot glue was a thing, but thankfully I had enough slime to melt down.
3. Make sure you actually have the machines you need. I had to craft the fluid extractor, forming press, and mixer partway through because I forgot they existed.

I don't exactly know what to do next, but I think I should aim for the good circuit boards quest. It needs a lot of liquids, so I'll probably finally touch oil first. Any tips?

Finally tearing down the monazite line. Rest of the space was taken by the platline, which is long gone. I just love QFTs.

Following the quests is my current way of progressing and i'm doing good progress, but I find 95% of things not intuitive at all and I just do them instead of learning. From what I understand, I need to scan things to get aspects, but some are locked behind fusions of respective aspects, which I need to scan more complex things that have the aspect fusion, is that right? The thing is, WHAT are those items? Some I understand like torch for light, but a chest? BLEACHED BONE BLOCK? Suppose if there is no quest book, how tf would someone know that? Or i'm that dumb?

Just a little update on my daily build journey. I've spent entirely too much time in MV playing with new crops and such. Prepping to build a 4th ebf for more stainless production to bust into HV. Its currently just a series of cobblestone boxes in a jungle, but its coming along nicely. I've spent alot of time switching my energy production away from coke oven + semifluid generator spam to an HV battery fed 4 amp EV backbone.
