2.7.0beta3

Overview

The monthly ticket for quest changes. Well, maybe it is the quarterly 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. This ticket is more focussed on small and clear problems and suggestions that don't really need any larger discussion.

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 (#16658):

Quest Changes

• MCR quest says it is limited to 1 tick
• better(?)dirt quest says the garden soil can turn into dirt. This is no longer the case see fix ic2 crops making any farmland trampleable Hodgepodge#425
• item holder quest is somewhat misleading as the items are not upgradeable
• Add info to the cactus and sugar charcoal quests that they can now be compressed to last longer (new in 2.7); also remove the recipes that are just copied from NEI. they don't serve any purpose here.
• The apiary chest quest asks for GT version of the crate, while the craft only uses forestry's version.
• Deep Earth Heating Pump has outdated comment about cost.
• plasma mixer no longer requires UMV circuit, i think it can be moved next to the dtpf quest.
• metastable oganesson is an UMV quest, but it was (implicitly?) required in UIV as ingredient for the dimensionally shifted superfluid that goes into UIV motors

Wishlist for New Quests

• add quests for bastline (maybe not full detail but at least something?)
• Add quest line or some tips on how to do Botania potions, specifically for Warp award flasks/alfglass/incense stick.
• Quests for ravens new jukebox. They would fit best in Building better bases and could reward a pair of Headphones if you get yourself an electrical jukebox
• add sunnarium bee quest

Add more quests to the mobility tab:

• add quest for waystones
• add quest for ruby slippers
• add quest for infusion of otherwhere
• move spectre key quests here?
• add quest for arcane levitator?
• and to the rails the Botania Spectral rail??

Add quests for new AE cards:

• Advanced Blocking Card
• Locking Card
• Pattern Refiller Card
• Sticky Card
• Hyper-Acceleration Card

Potential Bigger Overhauls

• the entire adept thaumaturgy tab

UEV+ questlines do need an overhaul to accommodate for the new changes in 2.7

since Baerschen and I cant really do that, this needs some volunteer. also details lol, general statements like this are useless.
maybe make a separate ticket and start outlining things.

The reason for that comment was to pique interest in the overhaul. Since the overhaul is quite new, not many players know about what the UEV, UIV and UMV progression is. I myself am a part of that portion, therefore I am not willing to write new quests or lead the effort in writing them until I reach those tiers in 2.7.0.

you suggestion clearly is not that. Please make a separate ticket.

[FireWarrior2]

• Remove fast mode mention from XL turbine quest (2.7.0 beta 3)
  

[OmdaCZ]

• Might have been fixed already, but in UHV field generator quest it wrongly says that UEV is the last tier and that it is in the Endgame Goals tab.
  

[wlhlm]

• Quest "What's Behind Door #\3": There's a typo in the second paragraph "unforunate"

[wlhlm]

• Quest "The Benzene Tier": The required item matching seems bugged. The quest requires an Oak and a Spruce Bonsai seed bag. I randomly opened a MV loot bag and got two Plumbilia seed bags which completed the quest somehow.

EDIT: this apparently also ticked off "Wax On, Wax Off", which similarly requires an Oak Bonsai seed bag.

[wlhlm]

Quest "Pressure washing!": There's a typo in the last paragraph "Mmultiblocks"

[chochem]

thats fixed

[Kyramesh]

Because of how buggy and barely explaing galacticraft is, I recommend adding the following information to the related quests in the space race tab:

1. "Can i build a Mothership for my father?"
   
   Add the following: The mothership needs to be build like a space station. To do that you need to have the items in your inventory with you on a launch with the shuttle rocket. If it worked correctly you will immedtiatly see the option to build the mothership on the right of your screen, as soon as you enter the solar system screen. If you don't see the option, make sure you launch the shuttle from the overworld dimension (and not ANY other).

2. "Fancy Stripes!"
   
   Add the following: Galacticraft and the Mothership in particular are very buggy. Getting the engine to work is somewhat tricky. After adding the (correct) fuel you can try to force block updates on the engine base, or try to apply a redstone signal to it. If the nav console still doesn't let you fly the ship try to disable/enable the engine, maybe even a few times.
   You also can't reach the Ra system from the solar system directly. You need to first fly to a closer system.

[chochem]

this is not galacticraft but amunra. and if there are bugs your main focus should be to make a ticket for the bug itself

[chochem]

• the chemplant blockrenderer preview might be finally fixed now, in that case the warning should be removed from the quest.

[Baerschen]

• Adjust the Tome quest for when Fix tome not unmorphing when punching air AkashicTome#13 gets merged
• while at it change it back to rewarding a tome with tinker and food books (Use Registry Names instead of IDs when saving NBT AkashicTome#12)

[TheKleopiNetwork]

• nanoprocessor quest (AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAE4A==)
  needs a description rewrite:

it would maybe also be nice to have an explainer, which circuits are best to use at this point (eg. which hv circuit is cheapest?)

[HoleFish]

• Hydration cell -> empty cell recipe is now an extractor recipe, not centrifuge

[feioO]

• the "Advanced Crystal SoC Production" quest in UV tab has a typo. It says Cerium-dropped Lutetium instead of doped. (actually multiple further typos)

[chochem]

that is not going to happen. the goal of the QB is to provide you with information. Not to define a meta or take over decision making/gameplay.

[chochem]

• remove quest Processing Array Automation. the multi is no longer craftable

[chochem]

remove PA mentions from quests:

• plantballs,
• stainless taking to long,
• empty fibre reinforced glass board

[pilchard436]

PCB factory tier 3 quest is locked behind uiv energy hatch, but it should be locked behind uev energy hatch since we can overclock the assembler.

[TheMysticalBard]

The windmill multiblock quest incorrectly says that the rotor will be used up when there is no recipe. From testing, the rotor's durability only decreases when a recipe is in progress.

[wlhlm]

• The quest "Cooling Kanthal" gives 8 IC2 Coolant Cells as reward, its follow-up quest "Coolant" only requires 8 IC2 Coolant Cells for completion, meaning the quest is automatically checked off after completing "Cooling Kanthal" making it a bit redundant if its goal is to have the player make Coolant. Maybe just increasing the number of cells required is enough here

[wlhlm]

• Quest "Venting the Heat": second paragraph needs a rephrasing. Here's my suggestion:

  An advanced or overclocked reactor vent is much faster than a basic heat vent and can work without a water block in front of it, albeit slower. Unfortunately, you can't make those yet, but keep them in mind.

[MigaAFOMIGA]

In the beta, they made logistic pipes cheaper to start and do, but they didn't remove the requirement for other quests that are no longer used in the recipe.

[wlhlm]

• Quest "Acetic Acid" (MV) text is missing a motivation for why you'd want to make Acetic Acid, I think. Maybe a sentence along the lines of "Acetic Acid is an important part of making Ethenone on your way to Cetane-boosted Diesel"
• Quest "Ethenone" (MV) task prerequisites should be optional (Acetic Acid, Sulferic Acid cells)

[Impos913]

• Garnet crop quest should mention the process of garnet products using nitric acid in centrifuge, lots of nice passive resources.

[Impos913]

• "Light It Up!" Quest under Novice Thaumaturgy tab mentions that light sources the Arcane Lamp places can cause issues with multiblocks. This hasn't been an issue since GTNH 2.1.1.4
  Tweaking Multiblocks / Light Sources Fixing #8799 (comment)

[Sand-Master]

'The Water Dilemma' completes without having to craft all 26 water tank sidings despite it saying you need 26. I am on 2.7.0 official release.

[chochem]

• mention in hologlass quest that double click on the NEI search bar is filtering the items in holoinventory

hmm. that is likely caused by #15539

[chochem]

• fix quests for Make Uncertain Resolver X the default version GT5-Unofficial#3408

[LazyFleshWasTaken]

Add Questbook entry for the recipe filter block, probably around the sifter multiblock or ore processing.

already exists it seems :)

[chochem]

• fix typo in Recipe Filter quest
  

[SlogoSniper]

Rework UIV quest: No, it's not a Typo. Either move or delete it, if kept change wording of the quest. It currently comes before the first module of God Forge even though the item in the quest cannot be made until after the first module has already been made. The wording of the quest also implies that you must make Lossless Phonon Transfer Medium prior to making the first module of God Forge, "This incredible material displays exactly the properties you were looking for, and decide that now you can move forward with the first module of the Godforge."

[Flakxo]

very low priority and maybe seen as irrelevant, but maybe consider changing the iv+ energy hatch quest to have an OR filter for higher amp hatches, since by that point you can just request them through ae2 without ever touching the regular hatch, thus not getting the completion(although its unlikely thatll happen, which is why i said low priority and maybe seen as irrelevant)
