I'd like to see Dire do an automation project using a combination of Rats, Constructs, Create, Mekanism, and a few other mods. Just a proof of concept kind of thing to show how wacky automation can get, such as setting a pattern to turn Oak Wood and Iron Ore into Steel Blocks and watching constructs take materials and move them into machines, rats take the outputs and put them onto a Create conveyor belt, and have them land in an output chest in an over-the-top way.
22:40 Thinking to myself, "So you want to make a wooden golem... that you wish to use to chop down trees... and you want to just go ahead and infuse him with fire... and call it a day... and you think that's okay?" *Brief image of the whole forest on fire* "Whatever floats your boat dude." Edit: Then I realized it was the hammer construct.
way to know what element your spell is by looking at your hand: if it's sparkly, blue/purple (like crystalize) is Arcane if it's flaming, is Fire if it's white / snowflaky in white, is Water if it's a tornado is Wind if it's brown or has leaves effects is Earth if it's dark, and cloudy/smoky (such as rift) it is Ender
the thing is.. it's a rework of Ars Magicka 2 which is a rework of Ars magicka which existed ~ 2012 so i'm thinking that most magic mods extracted a bit of it. the first ars magica used to be massive and well known
It seems like any mod that try’s to add in entities to do automation usually has a lot of problems; Golems and Rats for example. Which really sucks cause they’re the coolest way to automate
This is one of my favorite mods out of the pack. It seems ridiculously complicated to start but once you understand it, it's not hard. And the benefits are just nuts. You haven't even used the Light spell yet. It's one of the easiest spells but is so satisfying to use. Little sparkles of light that work anywhere. Underwater, in mid-air, it's great and it only gets better as you advance in your spell casting. Silk Touch on a ring with the break spell and you're silk touching before you've even gotten diamonds much less an enchanting table.
for what it costs i higly suggest that you make the smart head as soon as you can, unless you want a plain dumb construct that bonks monsters. since you can repurpose golems you don't ever know when they will exceed 8 commands
it doesn't "eat" the item, it holds it, which is a shame too but if you play with the sideness of the blocks you really only need any kind of superheated vinteum ingot and an empty rune pattern. which is not that bad. you can claim the items back too (keep in mind that if you "break" one command you'll get the items back as soon as you close the interface of the lodestar)
It's still very new and early in development, I imagine some, if not many, of the textures are placeholders or will evolve over time. Also not ever mod dev or mod dev team has artists as amazing as Astral's, or can afford artists.
These would be great for an rp, prison break, or adventure type server, you could set routes and jobs that named constructs could follow during certain times of the day/night, and could have guards trigger on breaking a rule with redstone or deactivate certain constructs by completing missions

I don't know if you've ever played with Minecolonies, but it's not a mod that you can really just "let run in the background".. it REQUIRES you to hand-hold it the entire time... until you get it fully upgraded so they can feed, heal, supply and (the most frustratingly difficult part) defend themselves
@@masondickerson9466 No the problem with mods like this is they arent "general enhancements" to the game of minecraft, they are their own offshoot that drags you a mile in its own direction and forces you to follow its path or be stuck in purgatory.

On the other side of the fence is the countless tech mods that all intwine in the idea of advancement of materials and refinement that is both progressive and helpfull feeling like an enhancement of gameplay. This seems ot be a tragic trend of magic mods, too different and self exclusionary to fit in.
This mod is definetly cool but it desperatly needs a jei integration, the book works decently well but it s definetly slower Edit: also really hate the villager part of it
Seems good, but the construkts and patterns seem overworked. Seems like itd be better to do ex pipes or even vanila hoppers instead of the extra actions of take and deliver, 2 actions seems like a waste, it be atleased better if it was 1 action. Take/deliver and slots for 2 markers one for each, that way it could be a only do this one or take/deliver. the coding seems similar to autonauts
For the constructs runesmithing, can you not just hopper the blank runes and tools into the table, making them "always present" and save yourself a few commands on lodestone?
im glad you did a spotlight on these last 2 mods so i now know that i will never use create or this magic mod. no offense to the dev but these mods are just incredibly complicated for what they do.

While that would be fun, I dread to imagine the absolute mess of dire wire/belts/golems that will be inevitably created
Rats riding create belts would be adorable. Probably not possible, but would be adorable.

Can't blame you, this mod also feels like a mashup of pretty much all of the previous magic mods.
Indeed. It is very Thaumcraft meets PSI with a bit of embers/roots thrown in
the thing is.. it's a rework of Ars Magicka 2 which is a rework of Ars magicka which existed ~ 2012
so i'm thinking that most magic mods extracted a bit of it. the first ars magica used to be massive and well known
It's so funny to me, dire has automated crafting, has a cobble works, needs to go out and chop down a tree.
Dire can't get away from Thaumcraft Golems
It seems like any mod that try’s to add in entities to do automation usually has a lot of problems; Golems and Rats for example. Which really sucks cause they’re the coolest way to automate
The irony of infusing a wooden construct with fire magic
Whole new meaning to Glass Tank. 🤣

I'll be honest, I was completely uninterested in this mod until he made the construct. That's pretty awesome.
I removed the Rats mod. That plague doctor and his rats chewing holes in everything had to go the minute I found a rat hole in my book shelves
I’m really tempted to do that too. The only problem is that when the pack updates, you have to remember to remove the mod again.
Just mark your construct with a tag and call him Gollum lol
for what it costs i higly suggest that you make the smart head as soon as you can, unless you want a plain dumb construct that bonks monsters. since you can repurpose golems you don't ever know when they will exceed 8 commands
Oooo, anyone else notice how the filter on the lodestar totally ate the item?
it doesn't "eat" the item, it holds it, which is a shame too but if you play with the sideness of the blocks you really only need any kind of superheated vinteum ingot and an empty rune pattern. which is not that bad. you can claim the items back too (keep in mind that if you "break" one command you'll get the items back as soon as you close the interface of the lodestar)
Yeah, hate those kind of "filters" very vanilla like.
it didn't void it , it stored it
@@seannyyx i think the mod author is working on that too
@@gamingwithey4d280 well yeah.. but it “ate” the item rather than just using its image
I love this mod but man could it take a page from astral when it comes to complex textures
I agree, I think the mod is great, but fitting it to minecraft's asthetic would go a long way in making it more enjoyable for builders.
It's still very new and early in development, I imagine some, if not many, of the textures are placeholders or will evolve over time. Also not ever mod dev or mod dev team has artists as amazing as Astral's, or can afford artists.

whenever he says construct I just think of dnd haha
oh the base command limit is 8? for some reason i thought it was smaller and made the first head with the smart stone recipe.
What actually happened to Thaumcraft? Was one of my favorite mods last time I played, but haven't seen it in a while.
Its on hiatus. Azanor took a break.
Dire ep36 and still has grass floor

Combining constructs (or rats) and create seems super fun.
I have a question, why does you certus quartz texture look different to mine (unrelated to this episode)
the purified vintium lookks alot like draconium and the superheated vintium looks like awakened draconium
I can tell dire hasn't played a lot of terraferma
I woould Like to see you fight the Mana And Artifice Boss :v
which one of the three ?
@@gamingwithey4d280 Any. Depend what boss he want to fight first

let me help you with the Construct automation of runes. the sideness of the block is important. make sure to use the rune of marking in the proper slot!
command: take item (chest) filter: rune plates (any side)
command: put item (runescribing table) (TOP side)
command: inscribe rune (any side) (there's no need for hammer and chisel)
command: take item (runescribing table) filter: empty. (TOP side)
command: put item (Runic anvil) (any side)
command: take item (chest) filter: superheated vinteum OR superheated purified vinteum (depending on what you want to do) (construc frame need purified, for example)
command: put item (runic anvil) (any side)
command: smithing rune (runic anvil)
command: take item (runic anvil) (any side)
command: put item (chest/interface/any output inventory you want)
that should do the trick, but as you can see you need 10 commands at least so make sure to use a Smart head of at least stone level

@@bjornseine2342 buddy you seem to have played a lot with mana and artifice, do you mind sharing some fun rote spells?
i have a pact with the demons so basically i'm a walking dragon. for offense i use beam* (extended range), entangle (6s) fire damage this way anything dies ultra fast because entangle forces them to stay over the lit fires, not even the spellbreakers are able to do anything,
i'm planning on adding life tap... but i haven't rooted it so not sure if it will work properly.
for monsters on the waters i have beam, entangle, watery grave ice damage, which forces them underwater and suffocates them on frosted ice
defensively i have self absorption 3 (15s), cauterize 3 (basically mimicking regeneration) fire shield (16s) so basically anything that touches me is hurt while i'm still regenerating. and i don't get really hurt due to regeneration
for annoying monsters such as the phantoms i use the hellfire staff that has been infused with bolt with a bit of extra range + fire damage (increased damage to 10) so at the end is a really long range that deals 20 dmg, instakills most mobs but uses 121 mana per use, the beam uses less mana and it's more fun xD
the utility spell i use beam- break. works perfectly and i like beam way more than wave. i have really bad time using wave spells... just spammed it to have it rote but.. meh
and what about sigil spells? i thought they would act as a mine of sorts, but they don't... sigil + explosion doesn't explode, but rather send "fire" effect that deals no damage to monsters... they only explode if manually broken...

Once he gets a little further in making and using spells, the rote mechanic make the spells system a lot more fun
