Regarding Custom NPC’s

The mod will stay deactivated but included, the issue is causes cant be fixed by me, cant be fixed by other mod authors wich mods are effected and won’t/can’t be fixed by Noppes (Mod Author of CustomNPC), by including and deactivating it you still can use it for events or in general if you choose to live with other mods not working correctly while giving your community an easy mean of adjusting. I feel this is a decent middle ground.

 

Reagarding Backups

 

FTB Backups while slightly more performant on SP worlds, has been replaced by Aroma backup allowing for a easier default setting for MP & SP alike. Aroma Backup is default set to make one backup every 180 minutes and keep the last 5 backups, by default overworld, nomadic tent and compact machine dimensions will be included in a backup.

 

If you want to adjust this add the corresponding DIM ID to the config file:

 

0 – Overworld

1 – End

-1 – Nether

144 – Compact Machines

-23 – Anu Lair

-32 – Treasure Room (mostly unused)

2  - Nomadic Tent

20 – The Betweenlands

-6 – Mining Dimension

-11325 – Deep Dark

4508 – NuclearCraft Wasteland (unused)

-343800852 – Spectre

999 – Storage Cell

7 – Twillight Forest

11 – Realm of Magic (adv. Rocketry)

12 –Realm of Peace(adv. Rocketry)

13– Realm of Stars (adv. Rocketry )

14 – Realm of Chaos (adv. Rocketry)

 

==== Adv. Rocketry Feature Dimension ====

 

• Chaos Realm  - a disturbed vast hot mesa planet with ocean seas and little but really rare ores, ruled be the Eldritch High Guardians. Forsaken Moo can be sometimes found
• Realm of Magic – A vast humid djungle planet with vivid cliffs and sacred springs without oceans but lakes of hot spring water, guarded by Ancient Golems. Sacred Moos can be found here more commonly
