2.4.0/1

Overview

Well, maybe it is the bi-monthly ticket for quest changes. A ticket for any large or small problems with any quests. Just post below. Of course, you can also make a dedicated ticket. In particular for more indepth suggestion or problems a dedicated one is better.

The most up-to-date quest files can always be found here: https://github.com/GTNewHorizons/GT-New-Horizons-Modpack/tree/master/config/betterquesting/DefaultQuests Depending on your version, you might also need to update BQ to use them.

Below are the remaining things from the last ticket (https://github.com/GTNewHorizons/GT-New-Horizons-Modpack/issues/14099):

Quest Changes

• [ ] https://github.com/GTNewHorizons/GT5-Unofficial/pull/1146 reworked turbine materials, so quests related to turbine materials need to be checked to confirm if any changes are needed.
• [ ] Quest.3165 UV Power Per Turbine

  Large Ichorium 170% 342,720 EU/t (very durable) Ichorium turbine has been buffed. So this data is outdated.

• [ ] Thaumcraft quests: the two quest after silverwood core need a core or core options
• [ ] Thaumcraft quests: the last wand quest should point to kami-ha-me-ha tab, the wand quest is there.
• [ ] update existing coil quest of Naq Refinery based on the Naq overhaul (e.g. new alternate recipes)
• [x] change or remove BIOS quest reward (see https://github.com/GTNewHorizons/GT-New-Horizons-Modpack/issues/14099#issuecomment-1705046818)

Wishlist for New Quests

• [x] Add a quest for Integrated Ore Factory in Multiblock Goals tab (maybe add a link in UHV tab as well). It is the ultimate solution for ore processing in late game.
• [x] Add a quest for Infinite Oil/Gas/Fluid Drilling Rig. There is already a quest for void miner, so add one for Infinite Rig is reasonable.
• [ ] Add a quest for Turbine Housing in How to Generate Power tab, it makes automating large turbine possible.
• [ ] Add a quest for Elemental Duplicator in GT++ tab.
• [ ] add quests for Super Glue
• [x] add quest for interface p2p. Great for parallel ALs. Items only - but can do fluid packets and local unpacking.
• [ ] Add for quest for Thauminite Caps in Adept tab. (better than Thaumium!)
• [ ] add Eye of Harmony quest + related stuff
• [ ] expand optical mainframe quest to a full questline for optical circuits.
• [ ] Maybe add quest for GT EU meter in late LV/early MV perhaps, as it seems to be the earliest convenient way of getting the info it gives
• [ ] Add quest line or some tips on how to do Botania potions, specifically for Warp award flasks/alfglass/incense stick.
• [ ] Add a Quest for Low Voltage Regulator as it helps a lot for automating stuff when using GT Item Pipes.
• [ ] Add a Quest for the Low Voltage Recipe Filter.
• [x] Add quest for Fluid Quantum Storage Cell
• [x] Add quest for Fluid Digital Singularity Storage Cell
• [x] Add quest for Thaumometric Essential Cell
• [x] Add quest for Wetware SoC
• [x] Add quest for Bio SoC
• [x] Add quest or mention for UIV and UMV capacitor
• [ ] add quest for Tier 4 coil of Naq Refinery

Add more quests to the new mobility tab:

• [x] add quest for relocator
• [ ] add quest for waystones
• [ ] add quest for ruby slippers
• [ ] add quest for infusion of otherwhere
• [x] add quest for ic2 teleporter
• [ ] add quest for gt teleporter?
• [ ] move spectre key quests here?
• [ ] add quest for arcane levitator?
• [x] add quest for angel wings?
• [x] add quest about SE teleporation
• [ ] Add the quest the Botania Flügel tiara?
• [ ] and to the rails the Botania Spectral rail??

Potential Overhauls/Ongoing Discussions

• [x] the Lutetium quests need an overhaul. Specifically, 'Faster Lutetium Excitement', 'High Temperature Super Breeder'. The neutron activator option was removed in favor of the HTGR.
• [x] rewrite the TFFT quest(s) because of https://github.com/GTNewHorizons/KekzTech/pull/45
• [x] add a stone age quest about visual prospecting?
• [ ] add quests for bastline?
• [ ] remove old quests for oil (LV), bio (MV) that are covered by the new tab.

[Logarathon1]

• [x] Quest "Naphtha" in Tier 1 - LV has a spelling error, Rthylene instead of Ethylene

"desc:8": "You can process Sulfuric Naphtha to fluid Naphtha which has a burn value of 320,000 EU in the Gas Turbine. Naphtha can be used to get Rthylene for Polyethylene, but it shares this use with Refinery Gas and Light Fuel, so decide for yourself which one you want to use. \n\nIf you choose to make High-Octane Gasoline in EV and onwards, it will need a lot of Naphtha. You can also make Polycaprolactam (Nylon), which doesn\u0027t have any useful purpose yet, but it might get some in the near future."

• [x] Regarding https://github.com/GTNewHorizons/GT-New-Horizons-Modpack/issues/14099#issuecomment-1783787360

This is the new GUI of the Ender Fluid Link Cover. There is no longer a Color entry, it was instead replaced with a Channel textbox. The quest just needs to be updated to replace references of the Color field to the Channel textbox

Is there a "monthly quest PR" we can push against instead of making individual ones?

Anyway:

• [x] Oilsand, or How You Get Heavy Oil - Heavy oil can be used in LV by making lube or burning it in a semifluid generator. Suggest last line be: "There's not much use for Heavy Oil until MV, but you could make lubricant for your cutting machine or burn it in a semifluid generator. Or store it in barrels for later."

[chochem]

such a mega PR would be too messy I think and too hard to review. I usually do a PR for maybe 5-10 small things at a time. But individual is fine too. As you were on a break for a bit, I should probably point out that the backend is completely redone and so conflicts and id nonsense are much less of an issue now. meaning multiple small PRs at the same time (usually) dont cause any problems.

I noticed that, is it now "safe" to do manual text changes to QB descriptions and only check it in the game? I assume if not moving or renaming the quest, etc it results in the same.

I'll add it to my PR after I come back to my house

• [x] "A New Alloy - Magnalium" lists soapstone veins as an option, but there are (as far as I can tell) no way at any energy tier to get to magnesium from any of the four parts of a soapstone vein. Marble does have an LV path. The nearby quest "Magnalium Source" is also incorrect for LV (and mentions different options).

[chochem]

• [x] fix efficiency values for Force Plasma. see https://github.com/GTNewHorizons/GT-New-Horizons-Modpack/pull/14841#issuecomment-1794834691
• [x] fix rewards for 'an unexpected bonus'

[Star-Tube]

The EV quest "Pulverize the Planet" gives three options for getting tungsten. I am doing a funky monkey challenge run where none of the three are available (reasonably) but a fourth option is available using Pahoehoe lava processing. Could I confirm if there is a silent check for holding enough tungsten and if not then request one be added since while we don't want to advise players to go the way I am going it should fulfill the quest.

[bombcar]

• [x] "Moron's Manual for Effective EBFing" in Multiblock goals mentions voiding; it should probably more accurately describe the new controls.

[Star-Tube]

"Blood Altar Tier 3" in the PS. section it says "the pillars are the only change" but looking at the wiki it seems this is not the only case. Probably should make that "are" into an "aren't".

wdym, what else is changed?

wdym, what else is changed?

Quest references that the pillars are not made out of vanilla blood magic materials, but it doesn't specify it and it may look like the quest states that only filars are the difference between T2 and T3 altar

[chochem]

the quest looks correct to me

[Pxx500]

the quest looks correct to me

I'm just saying the quest is a little ambiguous with it's phrasing, not wrong

[Star-Tube]

wdym, what else is changed?

Mainly the blood runes. The way it is worded now makes it seem like what is listed in the quest is the only materials needed for the upgrade which is simply false.

[bombcar]

• [x] Quest "Reed and Resin" on Fishing/Farming tab should mention you need the LV Scanner and/or reference the LV scanner quest by name "Scanning Bees, Crops and Moooooore!" - something like "You'll need a Basic Scanner to scan your Stickreed seeds once you get them, though any set of stats will work. See the quest in LV, note it requires MV circuits."

[chochem]

• [ ] adjust quest 'two big ovens' to account for and mention this railcraft boiler change https://github.com/GTNewHorizons/Railcraft/pull/17

[chochem]

• [x] add tip to the new visual prospecting quest that you can highlight ore veins with the nei search bar.

[bombcar]

• [x] Add note to "Dark Steel Armor Basic Upgrades" such as "Some upgrades can be applied directly, but more advanced ones will require the armor be empowered first."

[ChaosFiller]

Add quest to "And So, It Begins" and/or "Tips and Tricks" documenting the chat calculation feature. "You can perform calculations in chat! Typing an = followed by an equation will print the output in chat. There must be a space between the equals sign and the beginning of the equation. For example, =2*2 is not valid, but = 2*2 is. Currently supported operators are: <>"

[anexoticllama]

Adjust "Putting the 'Semi' Back Into Generators LV" to not be gated behind "Advanced Fluid Extractor"

Recipe is doable in LV as of 2.4.0, but quest is gated behind MV. Either crafting table recipe or quest needs adjustment

[bombcar]

• [x] update "Bring me my vat of Polyethylene!" to more correctly describe the new void mode mechanics

[bombcar]

• [x] Quest "Extrude all the things" in MV has "Makes sure to have a look" - should be "Make sure"

[bombcar]

• [x] Update the LV prospector quest to make it clear you must use a single data stick on it, not a stack of empty ones

[bombcar]

• [x] Nice Nether Trees has "gives" when it should have "give"

[chochem]

hmm that is certainly too niche for the tips and tricks page. might still deserve a mention somewhere.

[chochem]

prereqs look fine. maybe already fixed

[bombcar]

• [x] Automating Power On/Off has an old "url" that isnt' clickable:

but the blue color used is nicely readable :)

[bombcar]

• [x] More Hydrogen is misleading for hydrogen production - recommends MV electrolyzers

I assume this is to keep diesel (following) somewhat gated, but you only really need one MV electrolyzer to get hydrogen from some dusts, and if you're electrolyzing salt water or water, you're better off using LV electrolyzers.

Maybe make it require an MV and an LV? Multiple LV + one MV?

[bombcar]

• [x] "Automated Crafting" in LV has "only items acceptable to the recipe is allowed" - it should be "are allowed" for subject/verb agreement.

[srdr2k3]

"EV Chemical Bath" quest needs an or logic for the multiblock version. It was buffed to EV recently

[slyk26]

Quest for LCR tells you that full hatches will void items

The PCB Factory Quest gives incorrect formulas for how production / duration changes with trace size. @ 50 Trace Size the quest book formulas give x20,000 production x0.0004 duration (since it divides the RecipeTime by 50^2)

The correct formulas are Production = NEI Output (100/Trace Size) Duration = NEI Duration (100/Trace Size)^2

Additionally, it should specify that trace size is bounded between 50 - 200. This is mentioned in the config GUI itself, but it would be helpful to show up in the quest too.

If the default is 100, then it's not 0,0004x but 4x. What you're talking about would be correct if the default was trace size 1. Same goes for the other one, you know the default is 100, so 100/100 is 1, this means 10000 is how the chance is coded in. It's just 100,00%

• [x] Tier0StoneAge/YourFirstTool

Quest book says:

You can use paper binding to add an extra modifier, but it's very important because you will get modifiers with tool levels.

Suggest changing "it's very important" to "it's not very important"

[LionEl-johnson14]

• [x] The quest "Naquadah Doped Monocrystalline Silicon" has a misspelling of 'gallium arsenide', spelling it 'gallium arsenice'

[pionoplayer]

Early quest in "Fishing Farming and Cooking"; Animal Traps, should explain how you actually USE animal (and fish) traps: specifically you need to place them IN the ground, surrounded by dirt or grass blocks on all four sides according to the harvestcraft wiki, with the trap's top open to air.

[hallucinogender]

There are two mutually-redundant quest lines for ProjectRed item pipes. Both exist within the "Basic Automation" tab, both provide similar information, both require similar tasks for completion, and both reward a drawer controller; the key difference is that one of these quest lines is short and simple, and the other one is more in-depth and includes an extended quest line for using ProjectRed to automate oil processing. It seems likely that one of these two quest lines was intented to replace the other, but instead they are both present.

I recommend removing the shorter and less informative of the two quest lines, which consists of the following quests:

• "Project red beginning"
• "Can u eat those?"
• "Routed Pipes"
• "Ghetto ME System"
• "Input chest for Ghetto ME System"

As these two quest lines are mutually redundant (excluding the oil-processing-related part of the longer quest line), removing the shorter and less informative one will mean that players can no longer get twice the reward from the same sequence of tasks.

[Csstform]

I think a quest or two should be added to introduce the new/higher tier ME bus/hatches, instead of the current one off quest to introduce them, similar to how the terminals have multiple stages of quests.

[quegabriel]

• [x] The Busy Bees Buzzing Boldly (under the "How to Be(e)" questline, to the right of the "Alveraries" quest) quest has a typo, it says "Water - Temp010%" instead of "Water - Temp-10%"

[chochem]

• [ ] add some space elevator spreadsheet link or something https://discord.com/channels/181078474394566657/1189994332686651682/1195155645532471326

[slyk26]

• [ ] The "Hulk Smash!" Quest in GT++ Tab has a typo, it says:

Build a maceration statck ... (which should be stack)

[Kyramesh]

Since this machine needs mithril (i think venus is a source, so probably Tier 4?) and naquadah doped wafer, I don't think it's position in the QB is accurate (just after T2 rocket).

[AbdielKavash]

• [ ] Quest "Powerful Armor" in the BM tab is asking for 27 Empty and Filled Sockets. This is slightly off, you need 28 sockets to make a full armor set. (4 to make the forge, 5 + 8 + 7 + 4 = 24 for the actual armor.)

[chochem]

• [ ] fix canola quest (again), after the revert

[chochem]

"EV Chemical Bath" quest needs an or logic for the multiblock version. It was buffed to EV recently

this is incorrect. the multi needs the singleblock.

[kaliptoDev]

Hey there :) Well, there is just a small typing error in the Cleanroom quest, in the MultiBlocks tab.
