FTB New World 6/12 - meteor chase

6/12

I updated the ftbwiki with the basic recipes from the Chainz mod.  Did some exploring, visited the village again for some trading, then had to deliver a fish to the trader girl's husband.  Millenaire cash: 7 silver, 33 copper.  Ran across the river to some tundra.  Found a fairly recent meteor fall, some still warm.  Beyond that there was a brown splotch on a snow field, turned out to be a pool of brown stuff.  Nearby were some gravelly blocks floating in air which my orichalcum pick could break after much effort, but they didn't drop anything.  Weird.

I made a Meteor Proximity Detector, but it ran me in a wild goose chase a few hundred blocks around.  Finally I think I saw a trace of a meteor strike ... deep underwater.  Along the way I found a vanilla NPC village, built over the water of a swamp.  I made a wooden shovel and hacked 2x64+58 clayballs on the way home.

It's actually very laggy again.  Not so much lag, but a short freeze every 5-8 seconds.  Very annoying.  Anyway, deep run down to bedrock, found 9 meteor chips, 28 lapis, 6 diamonds, 4 nether quartz, 64 redstone, 5 Sn, 2 Pb, 4 Ag, 3 Fe, 14 P, about 64 coal.  Pondering the richness of oil around me, it's actually just a hazard, pits to fall into.  Without the GregTech semifluid generator I have no interest in oil.

Grabbed a bucket - those brown pools are sewage.  Yuck.  Another trade with villagers, then I bought a few ocher slabs path blocks, I only wanted a few but it gave me 64 of them, cash left: 4 silver, 33 copper.  Might as well use them for roads in my tiny settlement, they look good, will probably use brick slabs as steps, should match up nicely.  The dynamic lighting is nice.  I can walk around with a torch and the light follows me around, just like the Mojang guys said the engine couldn't handle.  I've got 69 rubber stashed in my low-tech ore lab.  Made compressor & macerator then pulverizer & induction smelter, pretty must just out of habit.

Not much going on.  Stir crazy, our regular server is down.  Guess I'll call it a night.
