00:35 * Cepheid sighs.

00:35 <Cepheid> This is getting unbelievably frustrating.  To a point where I'd call anyone who finished this game a liar.

00:43 <Cepheid> ... Wat.  No.  NO.

00:44 * Ali hugs the Cepheid?

00:45 <Cepheid> Just found where to go.

00:49 <Schism> Cepheid: Ah, yes, when you realize that the solution is, somehow, more obvious than it should be.

00:50 <Cepheid> That implies the solution has a clue or example.

00:51 <Cepheid> In fact, I'm going back through all the other areas to just find this clue.  Now that I know what the PUZZLE ITSELF WAS the clue should be obvious.

01:01 <Cepheid> Basically, I'm gonna give you an idea as to how absolutely blindlingly difficult this riddle is:  I spent 10 hours on it.

01:04 <Schism> Auuugh.  @_@

01:07 <Cepheid> I actually can't find the tablet that dispenses the clue.

01:07 <Cepheid> Assuming it even exists.

01:22 <Cepheid> Hello there, Ankh without a jewel.

01:39 <Cepheid> Hum, that was easier than I thought.

01:39 <Cepheid> I gather the jewel must be in this direction.

01:41 * Schism hmms. Also, gets a pot of earl grey.

02:20 <Cepheid> What is a "relief" in the context of art?

02:20 <Schism> An embossed piece of artwork.

02:20 <Schism> That is to say, more three-dimensional than two-dimensional.

02:21 <Cepheid> I got the Snapshot tool.  Trying to figure out where it is meant to be used.

02:21 <Schism> It provides a depth of viewing which is the etymology of the phrase 'in sharp relief'.

02:21 <Schism> Hmm.

02:23 <Cepheid> Only one relief I am aware of in the game that has ancient symbols on it, but..

02:23 <Cepheid> It won't read it.

02:32 <Cepheid> Doesn't appear to have any significant use *ANYWHERE*.

02:33 * Schism obtains the Advanced Text Memory software. "Need to catch up. And I'm sure it will..."

02:40 * Schism gets the Twin Labyrinths save point... ... but it's the backside savepoint. "Blast it all, I need to find that mirai.exe."

02:44 <Cepheid> My next biggest problem is that I have an ankh without a crystal for it.

02:48 *** Quits: Stormspark (stormspark@Pony-25m.dcd.98.172.IP) (Quit: Leaving)

02:53 <Schism> Whoo, axe.

02:53 <Cepheid> Wait, axe?

02:54 <Schism> Yeah, a main weapon.

02:54 <Cepheid> Huh.  I haven't run across it yet.

02:56 <Cepheid> Wouldn't know where to find it.  I've explored as much of the Twin Labyrinths as I can.

02:56 <Cepheid> The only exception being the area beyond that lion thing.

02:57 <Schism> It's very much in an area you've already explored.

02:57 <Cepheid> If it's in the Inferno Cavern, I'm locked out.

02:57 <Schism> Thankfully not.

02:58 <Cepheid> In that case, wherever it is, it's too obscure for me to figure out and/or find.

03:01 <Cepheid> My mind is not designed for this game.  I appear to be oblivious to what is obvious.

03:02 <Schism> Fair note, the axe is not obvious.

03:02 <Cepheid> The only weapon I know of that I have not yet obtained is in the Twin Labyrinths.

03:02 <Cepheid> Up above the room with the monster that summoned all the small shadows.

03:02 <Cepheid> I can't reach it though because I somehow need to go around to get up to it.

03:05 <Cepheid> There's also that "impossible" puzzle.  To which I cannot find a solution.  There appears to be a whackable block in the upper-left corner, but nothing I do makes it budge.

03:08 <Schism> I don't recall that one...

03:08 * Schism explores the Graveyard of the Giants.

03:10 <Cepheid> Can't get past that one critter that freezes time.  No matter how good I am, he always kills me off before I kill him, so it's a pointless endeavor.

03:11 <Schism> There are several hints regarding that one.

03:11 <Cepheid> Yeah, I know.

03:11 <Cepheid> I lack the item to do it.

03:12 <Cepheid> Few rooms I can't access in the Chamber of Extinction as well, whee.

03:14 <PinkieShy> This might sound odd.. I've been sneezing up a storm today..

03:14 <PinkieShy> I'm so happy about that odd enough.. Haven't sneezed in a while lol

03:15 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: HASCON 2019 has been Postponed  [ http://tinyurl.com/ya4wom9s ]

03:15 <PinkieShy> and its kinda helping my ears clear up from being stuffy and such..

03:17 <Schism> Nothing too strange about that!

03:24 <Cepheid> Let's see.

03:24 <Cepheid> Can't explore the Endless Corridor, as I lack the key.  I've explored all of Guidance Gate, and the only thing left is that chest past all the spikes, which needs time stop for me to access.  I also can't access it's gate...

03:25 <Cepheid> Mausoleum of the Giants, the only unknown is that little platform that makes two glyphs appear on a display.  Temple of the Sun, the only remaining thing is the seal over in the room with the Eye of Wadjet.

03:25 <Cepheid> Inferno Cavern, I've explored as much as I can.  I found the Ankh room, but lack the crystal.  I can't figure out the Statue of the Giant's riddle, or the riddle regarding turning something left or right.

03:26 <Cepheid> I've also locked myself out of the weapon there.

03:26 <Cepheid> Spring in the Sky, I've unlocked everything.  The only thing I can't do anything with is the Philosopher.

03:27 <Cepheid> Chamber of Extinction, there's 2 rooms I can't access.  I assume I gain access to them elsewhere, as I've struck literally every single friggen wall, floor and ceiling to no avail.

03:27 <Cepheid> Twin Labyrinths, I'm unable to access anything of relevance.  I've bought the bracelet from the store there.  Can't solve the "impossible" puzzle it has.  Can't kill that damned lion thing 'cause I lack some critical item.

03:28 <Cepheid> Graveyard of the Giants, pretty much explored it all.  Can't get through one blocked path, even though the ladder leads up to it just fine now.  Haven't been able to figure out the frozen chest.  Made it to the pathway that leads to the Temple of the Moon, for the lot of good it does, since I just get warped to the far side of a blockage.

03:29 <Cepheid> Temple of the Moon, I got the staff, but that's all I can acquire from there.  Explored everywhere, and I can't open that row of chests leading to a big chest.

03:29 <Cepheid> Nor can I open the chest in the main room.

03:29 <Cepheid> Eden, well, everything keeps telling me to open the five chests first.

03:30 <Cepheid> Tower of Ruin, I've explored all I can.  I need something else.  I thought the 200-coin program would provide it, but alas, it does [EXPLETIVE REDACTED]-all in helping me.

03:31 <Cepheid> Guess I'll need another 12 hours to solve this next riddle.

03:31 <Cepheid> I like this game, but it is effectively impossible for me to complete.

03:36 <Schism> Hum, "Find Isis' Pendant."

03:36 <Cepheid> I already did that.

03:37 <Cepheid> Five witches, plus one more, will gather at the point Baphomet will be summoned.  Right, so that one room with the creepy witches is the boss room.

03:40 <Schism> Note to self, do not attack jackal.

03:40 <Cepheid> Temple of the Moon?

03:40 <Schism> Yup.

03:41 <Cepheid> Heh.

03:42 <Cepheid> So, the two midbosses of the Twin Labyrinths are... Zu and Peryton.

03:49 *** Joins: Reia (Reia_Hope@TheCowPony)

03:51 <Cepheid> All I know of Zu is that supposedly to stop his attack you need something that shimmers.

03:53 <Cepheid> Oh, wait.  That's Toujin.

03:55 <Cepheid> I suppose that means this silver shield I got will do the job.

03:56 <Cepheid> Schism, question.  How many "Usable Items" do you have?

03:57 <Schism> Just the one at the moment.  Hand scanner.

03:59 * Schism blinks. Removes the smile from the face of the uppermost. "Of course."

04:01 <Cepheid> Still at a loss about how you can have a weapon that I don't have, given I have literally smacked *EVERY BLOODY WALL*

04:01 <Schism> Want the /general/ location?

04:01 <Schism> Area, that is.

04:01 <Cepheid> Honestly I'm debating looking at a hint 'cause this is pissing me off.

04:02 <Cepheid> I know about the nature of the regions, due to the manual.

04:02 <Schism> Well, first off, the axe isn't required to proceed...

04:02 <Cepheid> I know.

04:02 <Cepheid> But it implies I am missing something.

04:04 <Schism> Alright.  Well, the area in question is the Moonlight Temple, and no, this has nothing to do with the Eden puzzle.

04:05 <Schism> At least, I don't think it does.

04:05 <Cepheid> I have explored that [EXPLETIVE REDACTED] place inside and out.

04:05 <Cepheid> There is nothing left there.

04:07 <Schism> Ah.  I have found a flashy thing in there.  Hmm.

04:12 <Schism> Two flashes...

04:14 <Schism> Ohai, Anubis.

04:14 * Schism dies.

04:14 * Gladiolus is soft.

04:14 <Schism> Anyway, hihi.

04:15 <Gladiolus> I said I was gonna come back but I didn't and I feel bad :<

04:15 <Schism> Tis okay, you're back now.  And welcome back!

04:15 <Gladiolus> o3o

04:17 <Gladiolus> so what's up Schism

04:17 <Gladiolus> >61 total

04:17 <Gladiolus> oh dear me

04:18 <Gladiolus> mebbe

04:20 <Schism> Hmmm.  Two flashy things, and I managed to get away from Anubis... now what...

04:21 <Schism> Three flashes.

04:21 <Cepheid> Went through all of the Moonlit Temple, nothing.

04:21 * Gladiolus boops Cepheid's cats

04:22 <PinkieShy> https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DvI_P6UV4AAwMRh.jpg pfft.

04:22 <Schism> Oho, there we go.  Book of the Dead.

04:22 <Cepheid> Schism:  "flashes"?

04:23 *** Joins: Persona (Tilde@Pony-ek9n2l.7gkr.9fgu.6000.2605.IP)

04:23 <Schism> I've been scanning the hell out of everything.

04:24 <Cepheid> That... doesn't result in any sort of flashing?

04:25 <Schism> That depends on what you scan.

04:25 <Cepheid> ... It's never resulted in flashing.  Ever.

04:26 <Cepheid> ... Wait, what.

04:27 <Schism> Look around for some of the more ... odd background objects.

04:27 <Cepheid> Where'd this come from?

04:27 <Cepheid> Schism, nothing has ever flashed.  Ever.

04:27 <Cepheid> I examined everything.

04:27 <Cepheid> I see something unusual, I press the "use" button to scan it, nothing happens.

04:28 <Cepheid> ...

04:28 <Cepheid> Gods dangit, NOW it does it.

04:28 <Cepheid> But... what's the hint for that even?

04:29 <Schism> I'll be honest, I just did it at random.

04:31 <Schism> Ohey, another Usable Item.

04:34 <Cepheid> Staff?

04:34 <Schism> Yup.

04:34 * Schism takes down that guy covered in eyes.

04:34 <Schism> Oh yes.  Feather.

04:35 <Cepheid> Three flashes..  There should be a fourth.

05:04 <Cepheid> You knew about this, Schism.

05:04 <Schism> Actually, just got there.

05:10 <Cepheid> Too bad it leads nowhere useful.

05:10 * Schism falls down into the Graveyard of the Giants.

05:13 <Cepheid> Back to square one, it seems.

05:15 <Cepheid> For the record, Spitfire is watching me play.

05:18 <Cepheid> Still haven't found that axe.

05:18 <Schism> It's along the path to Eden...

05:18 * Schism blinks. Solves a puzzle, notes a chest open. Chest is not shining.

05:21 *** Tempo-Work is now known as Tempo

05:22 <Schism> Map, yay.

05:23 <PinkieShy> https://i.imgur.com/J1V2vU1.jpg :3

05:23 <Schism> Remember how you got into the Gate?

05:23 <Cepheid> Yes, Schism.

05:24 <Cepheid> On the right-hand side are two right-facing one-way doors.  No good.

05:24 <Cepheid> Every other path leads to the Graveyard of the Giants, with the one-way doors.

05:26 <Schism> So if you can't go either left or right...

05:27 <Cepheid> Okay, yer gonna have to literally explain this to me, because I am literally too [EXPLETIVE] stupid to see common sense, I jump everywhere, I try to climb everywhere, I walk into walls, I attack walls, I CANNOT FIND ANYTHING.

05:27 <Schism> Scan a light.

05:27 <Cepheid> I tried.

05:27 <Cepheid> I scanned every light I can reach.

05:27 <Schism> A light which isn't flickering.

05:27 <Cepheid> Nothing.

05:27 <Schism> Like, right next to the tablet.

05:28 <Cepheid> ...

05:28 <Cepheid> How in the bloody hell-

05:28 <Cepheid> I give up.

05:28 <Cepheid> I can't play this game.

05:28 <Cepheid> I am not good enough like you are.

05:29 <Schism> I was lucky.

05:29 <Cepheid> I am too bloody friggen blind and stupid.

05:29 <Schism> No, I just decided to scan the hell out of everything STILL, and I'm now in a stupid maze and my sense of direction is so terrible that I have absolutely NO clue what paths I've taken, or how the blasted teleporters work.

05:30 <Cepheid> I am tired of being led around clueless like an idiot.

05:30 <Cepheid> I don't know what this game expects me to do, because figuring this stuff out without any explanation as to why I should even expect a result..

05:30 <Cepheid> At this rate I'm just gonna have to spoil the last half of the game, by which point, why even bother?

05:30 <Schism> AUGHfgerfghkvhbl...

05:31 <Cepheid> I'm sorry, I'd love to believe you're doing this randomly, but I'm calling bull.

05:35 <Schism> If I had a guide, this freaking teleport maze wouldn't be driving me up the wall.  Also, I still have no clue where to get the damned Isis' Pendant, and I'm missing a few things you have.

05:38 <Schism> And there goes my buckler.

05:39 *** coppertiger5 is now known as coppertiger

05:40 <Cepheid> I've wasted more weights than I'd care to admit looking for this non-existent axe.

05:41 <Schism> Okay... were you able to remove the smile from the upmost face earlieR?

05:41 <Schism> earlier*

05:41 <Cepheid> Nope.

05:42 <Schism> Well, you don't need it to get the weapon, but it helps...

05:43 <Cepheid> Once again, that implies knowledge I don't have.  I am unaware of the fact that it can do this, nor how it is done.

05:45 <Cepheid> I am flailing my weapon as much as possible on that face.  Nuttin'

05:46 <Schism> Not quite that face, heh.

05:46 <Cepheid> But ye just said..

05:46 <Schism> In the Moon-Gazing Pit, there's a set of three statues.

05:46 <Cepheid> I did that.

05:46 <Cepheid> I already busted it.

05:46 <Schism> ah, okay.  Then look a bit more upwards.  And check your map.

05:46 <Schism> Oh wait.  No, it's not on the map.

05:47 <Schism> ... that would explain it.

05:47 <Cepheid> I climbed down the ladder, it just leads to that damned corridor I can't figure out like everything else.

05:48 <Schism> Look for the La-Mulana Cross.

05:48 <Cepheid> What the hell are those even for?

05:48 <Schism> Decorative features which often symbolize a puzzle or secret.

05:49 <Cepheid> That's what I figured.

05:50 <Cepheid> Right, found it.

05:51 <Cepheid> ...

05:51 <Schism> Boulder'd?

05:52 * Cepheid sighs.

05:53 <Schism> That hit me a few times, too.

05:54 <Cepheid> Less that and more "How did you find this?"

05:54 <Schism> THAT one I can't entirely take credit for.  I was going through the Temple of Moonlight, my brother asked if I'd found the axe yet.  ._.

05:55 <Schism> So I knew it was there, at least.

06:19 <Cepheid> How in the-

06:19 <Cepheid> That was random.  I solved the teleporter maze.

06:22 <Cepheid> By the way, Schism.  Mulbruk and her book of the dead that she just happens to head.  Thoughts?

06:23 <Schism> I think she's just absentminded there.

06:25 <Finwe> Oh, and Miss Ali.

06:59 <Schism> Oh.  Heh.

07:00 <Schism> Pepper, get a giant face to sneeze.  Gee, can't imagine where I'd find a giant face.

07:02 <Schism> Cepheid: What's the hint on that size thing?

07:04 <Schism> I mean what's it telling you to do.

07:04 <Cepheid> Prove that you are small.

12:44 <RazorSharpFang> I flippin need essence of blaze to make a blast furnace?

12:52 <RazorSharpFang> I also need flippin feathers somehow.

12:52 <RazorSharpFang> I don't know how to get chickens.

12:57 <Schism> Eggs are easy to make - if you have the right runes.

12:57 <Schism> At which point, throwing an egg has a ... 25%? chance of making a chicken.

12:57 <RazorSharpFang> Oh, you can make eggs, huh?

13:00 * Finwe is warm and cosy.

13:11 <Schism> Ah, silver shield.

13:14 <Finwe> Silver shield mirrors all bolts.

13:21 <RazorSharpFang> Is there a better supply of mana instead of endos?

13:23 <Schism> Endos are hard to beat for reliability, TBF.

13:26 <Schism> You could definitely set up a field of daybloom and nightshade, as you're in no way limited flower-wise at the moment.  

13:27 *** Joins: Thelema5 (Thelema5@Pony-53pubc.east.verizon.net)

13:32 <ADragonDreaming> It depends on what you mean by better

13:32 <ADragonDreaming> in regrowth you can get infinite lava, so thermalilies might be viable.

13:33 <ADragonDreaming> if you can automate manufacturing of high-value food and the timing of the delivery of the food, gourmaryllis is POWERFUL.

13:33 <ADragonDreaming> Also, yes, one of the quests gives you a bunch of eggs.

13:34 <ADragonDreaming> With Botania, the chickens will spontaneously shed feathers without needing to kill them.

13:39 <RazorSharpFang> So I could set up a bunch of hoppers for instant collection...

13:39 <Schism> Once you get some redstone going, you can make hopperhocks.

13:47 <RazorSharpFang> Are Hydrogenas also not worth it?

13:48 <RazorSharpFang> All my tools are now fully Alumite. All parts, including plates, etc. (It took a lot)

13:51 <Schism> Hydroangaeas aren't bad, but they also expire just like dayblooms and nightshades.

14:30 <Finwe> Yup

14:30 <ADragonHoarding> Somebody has their drawers in a twist on a regular basis, clearly.

14:30 <RazorSharpFang> How do you get a wooden engine to face the right way?

14:30 <ADragonHoarding> if you need to rotate buildcraft things, build a wrench.

14:31 <ADragonHoarding> engines will generally auto-rotate to face something that can take their input, though.

14:31 <RazorSharpFang> Is that the buildcraft wrench?

14:32 *** Quits: Crimson_Tail (zeta@batpones.are.for.snuggles) (Quit: Reboot)

14:32 <ADragonHoarding> Yes.

14:32 <ADragonHoarding> I think it's iron ingots in a y formation with a stone gear in the middle?

14:32 <RazorSharpFang> Ah, I had it on the cobble transport pipe, not the wooden one.

14:32 <ADragonHoarding> that would do it.

14:33 <RazorSharpFang> I'm making a lot of clear glass.

14:34 <RazorSharpFang> Clear glass is great compared to vanilla glass.

14:34 <ADragonHoarding> It is!

14:35 <ADragonHoarding> Unfortunately it doesn't work in a lot of the recipes in Regrowth

14:35 <RazorSharpFang> I found that too

14:36 <RazorSharpFang> I have five chickens in my chicken pen.

14:36 <ADragonHoarding> Excellent!

14:36 <RazorSharpFang> Do chickens have any needs in this?

14:37 <ADragonHoarding> nope.

14:37 <ADragonHoarding> seeds if you want them to breed

14:37 <ADragonHoarding> but it's easier to just set up a hopperhock nearby adjacent to drawers or barrels

14:37 <ADragonHoarding> automatically collect feathers and eggs as time passes.

14:38 * ADragonHoarding nibbles on Schism

14:39 *** Joins: Crimson_Tail (zeta@batpones.are.for.snuggles)

14:39 <RazorSharpFang> I need to find a way to get slime too

14:40 <ADragonHoarding> there's a few methods

14:40 <Schism> Did you keep those cactus blocks, and plant them independently?

14:41 <ADragonHoarding> oh, you've already got the cactus blocks?

14:41 <ADragonHoarding> if so, plant them and harvest vanilla style

14:41 <ADragonHoarding> cactus blocks can be alchemized into slime balls

14:41 <Schism> Yup, and once you create an alchemy item and plop it down under your mana pool, it'll let you turn cactus into slimeballs.

14:41 <RazorSharpFang> I don't think I ever completed that quest...

14:41 <Schism> Well, you got cactus green.  o3o  So now you can complete it under The Life of the World.

14:42 <RazorSharpFang> It'd be really neat to automate coal production for the endos

14:44 <Schism> Once you get redstone going, you can set up an automatic horn with a field of coal essence plants, a hopperhock, and a few pipes, and get that into functionality.

14:44 <RazorSharpFang> What is a hopperhock?

14:44 <Schism> It's a plant which automatically pulls items to it in a six-block radius, without the need for mana.

14:44 <RazorSharpFang> Ooh, that's interesting.

14:45 <ADragonHoarding> if you give it mana, the radius increases.

14:45 <ADragonHoarding> note that it must be placed adjacent to an inventory in order to function, as it has no inventory of its own.

14:45 <ADragonHoarding> also, the regular version needs to be planted on dirt or grass

14:46 <ADragonHoarding> however, you can make a floating version that can be planted anywhere.

14:46 <RazorSharpFang> So you'd place it next to a chest or hopper.

14:46 <ADragonHoarding> Yes, though not a hopper, that would be redundant generally.

14:46 <ADragonHoarding> you can use item frames to filter and prioritize pickups.

14:47 <ADragonHoarding> though if you use drawers or barrels, they filter themselves.

14:48 <ADragonHoarding> note, to make a floating version of any of the flowers, you craft the following:

14:48 <ADragonHoarding> Take any color basic mystical flower, with two pieces of glowstone, to make glimmering flower (light source!)

14:49 <ADragonHoarding> Put glimmering flower on top of pasture seed on top of dirt to make floating glimmering flower

14:49 <ADragonHoarding> Combine floating glimmering flower with functional flower for floating functional flower.

14:51 <RazorSharpFang> Hrmm, I'd need glowstone first.

15:00 <ADragonHoarding> yes.

15:00 <ADragonHoarding> hopperhock requires rune of air, too.

15:00 <ADragonHoarding> ...which I think needs feathers.

15:01 <ADragonHoarding> it also needs a redstone root

15:01 <ADragonHoarding> which is redstone and gras

15:01 <RazorSharpFang> I got a bunch of blaze powder from the nether this trip.

15:06 <ADragonHoarding> nice

15:13 <RazorSharpFang> I always find myself going through a lot of crop-sticks.

15:14 <ADragonHoarding> Yes.

15:14 <ADragonHoarding> Sticks are the resource from which everything else is made.

15:15 <RazorSharpFang> My chickens have grown up.

15:16 <ADragonHoarding> good! They will soon start shedding feathers.

15:16 <RazorSharpFang> What did you say the fuel radius of endos were?

15:17 <ADragonHoarding> IIRC endos have a 3-block radius.

15:17 <ADragonHoarding> useful tool: manaseer's monocle

15:17 <ADragonHoarding> while wearing it, you will see the radii.

15:18 * ADragonHoarding creates a GURPs character that can travel between Earth and Moon in 16 days unassisted beyond radiation and temperature shielding

15:23 <RazorSharpFang> How long would an endo take to burn through a block of coal coke?

15:25 <RazorSharpFang> Wait, since clay buckets of lava don't leave anything when consumed, can they be used as fuel?

15:27 <ADragonHoarding> Don't know. Toss one down and find out.

15:27 <ADragonHoarding> as for how long an edo would take...

15:28 <ADragonHoarding> endo will burn it for the full fuel value.

15:28 <ADragonHoarding> charcoal block is 16000 ticks

15:28 <ADragonHoarding> but endo won't burn anything longer than 32000

15:28 <ADragonHoarding> which mod is the coal coke in this from? Railcraft?

15:29 <RazorSharpFang> Yep yep

15:30 <RazorSharpFang> Somehow, I have 8mB of alumite this time...

15:30 <ADragonHoarding> that may be a lie.

15:31 <ADragonHoarding> anyway, from what I'm finding, coal coke is 4x coal

15:31 <RazorSharpFang> I have it in a fluid container. It's not a lie.

15:31 <ADragonHoarding> mariculture tank?

15:31 <RazorSharpFang> Yes

15:31 <ADragonHoarding> pick it up.

15:31 <ADragonHoarding> put it down.

15:31 <ADragonHoarding> see if the amount stays.

15:32 <ADragonHoarding> if it doesn't, then it was a lie.

15:32 <RazorSharpFang> Amount stays.

15:32 <ADragonHoarding> kay-o.

15:32 <ADragonHoarding> any road, from what I'm finding, coal coke is 4x fuel value of coal

15:33 <RazorSharpFang> Ooh, that makes it pretty valuable.

15:33 <ADragonHoarding> a block of coal coke would have 64k fuel, which would mean you would lose 32k of that if you fed it to an endoflame

15:33 <RazorSharpFang> Ah, coal coke individually, not as blocks then

15:33 <ADragonHoarding> yes.

15:33 <ADragonHoarding> alternately?

15:33 <ADragonHoarding> auto-harvest coal essence, auto-craft coal blocks from it, and feed that to the endoflames.

15:34 <RazorSharpFang> I don't even have a horn yet, or redstone. I'm not close to automation like that I think.

15:35 <ADragonHoarding> probably not, no.

15:35 <RazorSharpFang> I have more creosote oil than I need, I think...

15:36 <RazorSharpFang> That's a negative on the lava bucket as fuel idea.

15:37 <ADragonHoarding> I think endoflames are locked to solid fuel, anyway

15:37 <ADragonHoarding> lava bucket isn't solid fuel, technically.

15:37 <ADragonHoarding> if you want to fuel mana production with lava, get thermalilies.

15:37 <RazorSharpFang> I have four endos now, and they eat the coal pretty fast.

15:41 <ADragonHoarding> They do.

15:42 <ADragonHoarding> if you look at the server setups, though, you can easily fuel a 7x7 plot of endos, infinitely, with coal blocks.

15:42 <ADragonHoarding> and have spares left over, if you properly cycle.

15:51 <RazorSharpFang> Flippin 4 mB of molten gold...

15:52 <RazorSharpFang> Also, what is with the marigold casters? I swear they have broken collision hitboxes.

15:52 *** Joins: jimm (horse@Pony-5o64pl.dyn.optonline.net)

15:55 <ADragonHoarding> I don't use any of the mariculture casters expect the ingot one.

15:55 <ADragonHoarding> but, yes, don't jump on top of them.

15:55 <ADragonHoarding> the block caster from mariculture holds 10000 mB

15:56 <ADragonHoarding> basically every block is 9000.

15:56 <ADragonHoarding> make that for the quest and then lose it.

15:56 <ADragonHoarding> use the TiC block caster instead.

15:56 <RazorSharpFang> I use the marigold ingot caster and the nugget caster (for underflow relief), but they're not good.

15:57 <ADragonHoarding> if you need to cast a few nuggets to empty the smeltery, honestly you have more control with the ingot cast from TiC

15:57 <ADragonHoarding> ingot caster is great for high-volume ingot production.

15:57 <ADragonHoarding> you need to realize that you can rotate the pipe to pump any left over liquid out of it.

15:57 <RazorSharpFang> Right, but I mean I underflow from the block caster to the ingot, then to the nugget.

15:58 <ADragonHoarding> don't bother, just pump left-overs back into the smeltery.

15:58 <RazorSharpFang> A clean smeltery is a productive smeltery.

15:58 <RazorSharpFang> (I made alloys accidentally)

15:58 <ADragonHoarding> in which case, slap a faucet on the ingot caster and pour it into a tank.

15:59 <ADragonHoarding> then you can go from tank to a nugget cast on a casting table or the something like that.

15:59 <RazorSharpFang> Can you pour it directly into the marigold tanks?

16:01 <ADragonHoarding> yes.

16:01 <ADragonHoarding> also, marigold?

16:01 <RazorSharpFang> Mariculture. I'm tired.

16:02 <ADragonHoarding> the faucet allows for the transfer of any liquid from any container it is attached to, to any container that is immediately below it.

16:03 <ADragonHoarding> if the container below it has a liquid in it already, then the faucet will only add more of that liquid.

16:03 <RazorSharpFang> That was strange, there was a trickle of iron left in the pipe that couldn't get out somehow...

16:03 <ADragonHoarding> unless the container below it specifically can accept multiple types of liquid.

16:03 * Schism yawns, stretches, and boops Cepheid with a Somersby.

16:03 <RazorSharpFang> How about returning liquid from the mariculture tank to the smeltery?

16:03 <Schism> Back from an LCBO run, before the whole city shuts down for a day or two.

16:04 <Schism> RSF: You can do that too, by attaching a pump going in the other direction leading from the tank to an open smeltery drain.

16:05 <Schism> Also, pipes will always, it seems, have some stupid quantity of liquid left over.

16:06 <RazorSharpFang> 14 mB of obsidian somehow.

16:09 <RazorSharpFang> Dang it, TiC smelter doesn't accept aluminium sheets...

16:15 <RazorSharpFang> What on earth am I going to do with 65 buckets of creosote oil?

16:17 <RazorSharpFang> Is there like, a liquid waste disposal unit?

16:18 <Schism> Hm, search for 'void' on NEI?

16:19 <RazorSharpFang> voidmetal?

16:19 <Schism> More a void building.

16:20 <ADragonHoarding> creosote gets used in rail-creation

16:20 <ADragonHoarding> you can also burn it in liquid-fuel boilers to power steam engines.

16:20 <RazorSharpFang> I'm likely to run out of storage for the stuff, there's a lot of it.

16:20 <Schism> Ah, steam engines, quite useful those.

16:21 <ADragonHoarding> I think the way to auto-void liquid is with buildcraft pipes

16:21 <ADragonHoarding> there's a void pipe, and you can probably apply sealant to make it liquid.

16:21 <RazorSharpFang> Let's see... slime soul seeds... extreme essence.... :(

16:24 <Schism> At least with a couple of those lava-eaters, you should wind up with enough mana that you don't need to worry excessively about how much slime you make out of cactus.

16:25 <ADragonHoarding> that alchemy mana cost is tiny anyway

16:28 <RazorSharpFang> I need something else, it's not working for me.

16:29 <Schism> The mana pool needs an Alchemy Catalyst placed underneath it.

16:31 <Schism> Lessee.  Void transport pipes are ... black dye, glass, redstone.  And then a sealant for fluids.

16:32 <Schism> Why on earth are my chests-- oh, right.

16:34 *** Tempo-Sleep is now known as Tempo-Work

16:35 <ADragonHoarding> you may also want to look up the mana distributor.

16:36 <Schism> Lessee noooooohhboy.  Thermalilies eat the runes.

16:36 <ADragonHoarding> which is a block that distributes mana equally to all mana pools that are adjacent to it.

16:36 <ADragonHoarding> Yes.

16:36 <ADragonHoarding> Petal apothecary recipes use the runes.

16:36 <ADragonHoarding> which is one reason why you get 2 runes per craft.

16:37 <Schism> Guess I'll hold off on making a bunch of them for the time being.  Even if I do have enough materials to make a buttload of mana.

16:38 <RazorSharpFang> I have the blaze rods I need for the catalyst.

16:42 <Schism> Hmmm.... oh, cool, I can plant bald cypress now.

16:43 <Schism> No redwoods or dark oak yet, though.

16:43 * Schism plants a bald cypress. "Sweet mercy!"

16:45 <RazorSharpFang> Turns out the pipes have buggy hitboxes too. Don't try to walk on them.

16:51 <Schism> Okay, while the bald cypress makes for an /excellent/ decorative plant if you're planning to build your own forest, it's not suggested to use for wood harvesting.  Even if it gives three full stacks per planting.

16:51 <Schism> TiC lumber axes don't chop down the tree properly.

16:52 <RazorSharpFang> I just use cyprus ones.

16:53 <Schism> I know, I know, and 2x2 spruce are also excellent.

17:01 <ADragonHoarding> Fir is good for fuel and the fir trees look interesting as decoration, but I'm not a fan of the greenish cast of the wood.

17:14 <ADragonHoarding> rolling machine creates the sheets that are used in carpetner

17:14 <ADragonHoarding> note that bloomery furnace requires creosote oil.

17:14 <ADragonHoarding> also, it runs on ... charcoal, specifically.

17:14 <RazorSharpFang> Creosote oil is produced in the coke oven.

17:14 <Schism> Well, that's one reason I have several dozen stacks of wood.

17:14 <ADragonHoarding> there's a weird crafting chain for the infernal stone

17:15 <ADragonHoarding> you have to craft a block that you then craft by itself twice to convert to the type that gets used in the blast furnace.

17:15 <ADragonHoarding> why? Hell if I know

17:16 <Schism> How peculiar.  Well, so it goes.  At least infernal blocks are easy to get.

17:16 <ADragonHoarding> rainbow eucalyptus is another tree that is fine for decoratiion.

17:17 <ADragonHoarding> as itself, really.

17:17 <Schism> But not the sort of thing you want to harvest a lot of, I take it?

17:24 <ADragonHoarding> well. It depends on your sense of taste.

17:24 <ADragonHoarding> the wood itself is ... garish.

17:25 <Schism> Well, I should think so.

17:26 <Schism> Ah yes, that's also why I was going to make a buttload of charcoal.

17:27 <RazorSharpFang> Wowie, a fluid tank completely full of iron.

17:28 <ADragonHoarding> 16000 mb I think

17:28 <ADragonHoarding> 111 ingots and a bit.

17:29 <Schism> Oh right, I have cows now, I can make cake.  o3o

17:31 <RazorSharpFang> Right, I'm off to sleep, good night.

17:31 <Schism> Rest well.

17:31 <RazorSharpFang> (You can't tell me what to do) :3

17:32 <ADragonHoarding> Incorrect.

17:32 <ADragonHoarding> I can tell you what to do.

17:32 <ADragonHoarding> I simply can't force you to do what I tell you.

17:32 <RazorSharpFang> Merry Christmas. It's Dec 25 1:32 AM GMT+8 woo.

17:34 <Schism> Hum, that was almost pointless... but I got spanish moss, that third Witchery garden plant.

17:35 <ADragonHoarding> Merry christmas!

17:35 <Schism> And Merry Christmas.  o3o

17:35 <ADragonHoarding> Spanish moss is used in some wtichery crafts

17:35 <ADragonHoarding> also, helps with altar power

17:35 <ADragonHoarding> slap it on some trees and let it propagate.

17:37 <Schism> Yup.  And I already have some glint weed and ember moss.

17:39 <ADragonHoarding> glint weed!

17:40 <ADragonHoarding> growable torches

17:40 <ADragonHoarding> of course you don't want to use them in places where drum or horns of the wild will be used.

17:40 <Schism> Well, yeah.

17:40 <Schism> Also, freaking finally.  Ender seeds.

18:26 <ADragonHoarding> I'm not certain it needs the brew?

18:26 <ADragonHoarding> IIRC it need one of the fume types

18:30 <Schism> Yeah, that's what I meant.

18:30 <Schism> Needs a fume type in order to get the glowstone seeds to get the glowstone to get a fume funnel.

18:59 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.

19:03 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Gyakuten Meets Orchestra 08 - Trials and Tribulations Ending

19:07 <Schism> Ah, of course.  o3o

19:13 * SunsetShimmer nods

19:14 <SunsetShimmer> honestly, that one is probably the one I love most - T&T is a game I have a lotta love for....I'll probably buy it for the zillionth time when the trilogy edition launches on steam

19:15 <SunsetShimmer> Cheap cash grab? Its capcom, so probably...but AA is a franchise I am critically weak against xD

19:16 <Schism> Nothin' wrong with having a rerelease like that.

19:16 * Schism also boops SunsetShimmer with Aviary Attorney.

19:16 <SunsetShimmer> xD

19:16 <SunsetShimmer> I guess my problem is I have little interest in the copycat titles

19:17 <Schism> Well, Aviary had its own flavour and style, and it took a lot of expectations about the AA series and played with them.

19:17 <SunsetShimmer> Fair enough

19:17 <Schism> Not that it wasn't wildly derivative when that suited its purposes.  XD

19:18 <SunsetShimmer> https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DvK4estX0AAbIts.jpg - also this. xD because its practically tradition to link this

19:42 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.

19:47 <Schism> One sec, almost at a pause point, just makin' diamond seeds.  X3

19:51 <SunsetShimmer> x3

19:51 <Schism> There we go.  Soon I shall have some lovely diamonds, emeralds, redstone and glowstone growing.

19:52 <Schism> This will be followed by me tearing down the _entire freakin' setup_ I have going on in order to expand it.  X3

19:52 <ADragonHoarding> hahaha

19:52 <SunsetShimmer> Oh thats cute - vanilla MC has replaced the usual chest model with a christmassy look

19:53 <Schism> Yup, so has this modpack.  X3

19:53 <ADragonHoarding> hee

19:53 <Schism> And yup, that's classic Diego Armando.

19:53 <SunsetShimmer> Just had to make coffee. >.>

19:53 <SunsetShimmer> 'cause that happens

19:53 <ADragonHoarding> botania had some halloween textures in October.

19:56 <Schism> Redstone is the big'un.  Once I get that going, I can set up hopperhocks, and with some glowstone blocks for lighting I should be well on my way to automating to a series of linked barrels for ease of growth...

19:57 <SunsetShimmer> I've got a vanilla snapshot map going on - the new stuff is neat, illagers are pretty neat little challenges

19:57 <Schism> Hmmmm, woodland mansion dungeons.  o3o

20:59 * Cepheid pops into the room standing on the ceiling. He looks up. "What are you all doing on the ceiling?"

21:01 * Schism walks into one door in the Twin Labyrinths, and winds up on the ceiling with Cepheid. "Hiya."

21:02 <Schism> (Not a thing that happens in game.)

21:02 <Cepheid> No, but may as well happen at some point.

21:02 <Cepheid> I made a bit of progress.  Twin Labyrinths is open to me now.

21:03 <Schism> Oh nice.  Have you quelled the rage?

21:03 <Cepheid> I also unlocked the Eternal Corridor and more or less finished the path.  Some fun riddles.

21:03 <Cepheid> I have not.

21:03 <Cepheid> Or did you mean my rage?

21:03 <Schism> Oh, well, that too.

21:03 <Cepheid> That has been quelled.  By the by, sorry for my outburst last night.

21:04 <Schism> Not at all, it's understandable.

21:04 <Schism> Wait, you-- did you get down to the bottom of the Corridor?

21:04 <Cepheid> Got a bunch 'o new weapons

21:04 <Cepheid> And yes, I did.

21:05 <Schism> What did you use to beat Mr. Big Eye Boo?

21:05 <Cepheid> Caltrops and some axe swings.

21:05 <Schism> Caltrops.  Gah!  I had to resort to chakrams.

21:06 <Schism> Anyway, you might remember another entrance to the Twin Labyrinth which gave you a short timer.  You can clear that now, and it makes it much easier to navigate.

21:06 <Cepheid> Already done.

21:06 <Schism> Ah, that's the rage to which I referred.

21:06 <Cepheid> I cleared a part of the corridor first.

21:07 <Cepheid> I wandered off when I encountered the third corridor.  I tried it a few times, then wandered off to clear my head.

21:08 <Schism> Did you actually clear it as a race, or did you just do the other way?

21:08 <Cepheid> The next time I returned to the corridor and I thought about it.  Why is doing it the hard way the foolish approach?

21:09 <Cepheid> So I turned to the right, attacked the block.  Nothing.  I jumped.  Whoops, slipped in and fell.

21:09 <Schism> Well, you're putting in a lot of effort for something the ruins don't even care about.  X3  But yeah.

21:10 <Schism> You get a Steam achievement if you do it the hard way...

21:10 <Cepheid> Once I found it, I looped around, placed the weight, and just used the short path.

21:13 <Schism> Oh.  Okay, there is one thing I found which you might want to know.  You remember how there's a link between the Grave of the Giants and the Temple of Moonlight?

21:13 <Schism> This won't help you get through the game faster, it'll just help you with that one room.

21:13 <Cepheid> Yep.

21:14 <Schism> There's this big block of wall about 3/4 of the way down.  You can't break it from the left, you can't break it from the right.

21:14 <Cepheid> From above, yeah.

21:14 <Schism> Ah, you got it.

21:14 <Cepheid> I haven't done it yet, but it is the only thing that makes sense.

21:15 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: New Ponies in Chocolate Eggs Appear  [ http://tinyurl.com/ydg37r5q ]

21:15 <Schism> Damned wall doesn't make it easier by the presence of the eye.

21:16 <Cepheid> Yep.

21:16 <Cepheid> Also I introduced my mother to the game.

21:17 <Schism> Please tell me that you at least her know that she'd need a scratchpad.

21:17 <Cepheid> Her basic thoughts on it comprise of "I'd have thrown the controller away in 15 minutes.

21:17 <Schism> She is a lady of discerning taste.

21:18 <Cepheid> She thinks the puzzles are too much.  That said, a scratch pad...  I don't use one, myself.

21:18 *** Joins: ADragonDreaming (IceChat9@Pony-dj1i5q.tmodns.net)

21:18 <Cepheid> It's all up here. *Taps head*

21:18 <Schism> You kidding?  I have a notepad window with half the notes of the game and a scratch pad with the NUMBERS ON IT.

21:19 <Cepheid> The map is memorized to a considerable degree now.  Because I spent 12 hours navigating the ruins to find a clue.

21:19 <Schism> That's reasonable.  But honestly.  And what about the numbers?

21:19 <Cepheid> But yes, I should redo my numbers document.

21:19 <Cepheid> It isn't hard, though.

21:20 <Schism> Do not -- do NOT -- use the darkside paths as an illustration of the numbers.  Darkside paths are reversed.

21:20 <Cepheid> The mausoleum provides a major clue.  As does the silly girl.  The two combined allow for a full set.

21:20 <Cepheid> I wonder if she is still around in La-Mulana 2.

21:21 <Schism> The silly girl... I trust you mean Malbruk.

21:21 <Cepheid> In theory she should be, provided she doesn't leave that one place.

21:21 <Cepheid> Yes.

21:22 <Schism> So, Cepheid.

21:22 <Cepheid> Of course, that also assumes that her state is not somehow intrinsically tied to whatever is sealed in the ruins.

21:23 <Schism> How many flashbacks to Ragnarok Online did you have when you were traversing the Endless Corridor?

21:23 <Cepheid> None.

21:23 <Schism> It threw Munaks at you; I disbelieve.

21:24 <Cepheid> These days I am more familiar with those through their actual name and what they are.

21:24 <Cepheid> They are Jiangshi, Chinese vampires.

21:25 <Cepheid> I am familiar with them in part more because of Castlevania now, which introduced their romanized name to me.

21:27 <Schism> Ah, yes.

21:55 <Schism> ... I need to get it again now, and I forgot how.

21:57 <Schism> Earth Spear.  Died right after acquisition.

21:58 <Cepheid> I don't even recall where you get that...  Brain wants to say Tower of Ruin.

22:08 * PinkieShy hugs Schism

22:09 * Schism snugs the PinkieShy, and offers some oatmeal raisin cinnamon cookies.

22:09 * PinkieShy takes him up on the offer and takes 1 :3

22:10 <Cepheid> Schism, still need help with the spear?

22:12 <Cepheid> I've come to a conclusion, Schism.

22:12 <Cepheid> I have done this horribly twisted game completely and horribly out of order, I think.

22:14 <Cepheid> Oh, did you ever find Isis' pendant?

22:19 <Schism> Yes.  Isis rests above all the other gods.

22:19 <Schism> This is the clue which should have tipped me off, but I got it after entirely too much effort.

22:20 <Schism> Also... I'm not sure you're out of order there.  ._.  That's a metroidvania for you.

22:22 <Cepheid> Nah, this game in particular *DOES* have an order.

22:22 <Cepheid> It's just far more open-ended than most.

22:23 <Cepheid> Oh sweet geezus the teleport point for the Shrine of the Mother.

22:23 * Finwe noms on Sleeping_Nightmares.

22:32 <Schism> well. What'd you do?

22:32 * Filly_Nightmares nomfs Finwe hat

22:32 <Cepheid> Ah, I see..

22:32 <Cepheid> Alas, I cannot do this puzzle yet.

22:36 <Cepheid> Likely still had an effect elsewhere, though.
