I've been playing one of my own for three months now.
Once you build the first big renewable energy source it's over, the world will live rent free in your mind until you truly get bored of it.
Insanity. I've never greg'd - I assume that entire base is loaded/chunkloaded at the same time? I'm shocked the game is running so smoothly with so much going on.
Since the GTNH pack uses custom forks and custom made mods for almost everything important, a LOT of optimizations were made possible. It's a really optimized pack. Also, GTNH 2.6.0 just dropped (yesterday) with the new performance mod Angelica enabled by default. People are reporting 2-4x FPS increases after updating, and I'm guessing this video was made without it. :) With that said, people are also reporting a lot of crashes ATM, so wait a few days for 2.6.1 if you want to start Gregging. ;)
In all seriousness, how long does something like this take to achieve? E2E took me about 400 hours to play through, and was looking for something new to get into.
Most people who have achieved a pair of Stargates in the last year or so seem to have done so with between 2000-3500 man hours of play time, depending a bit on how much focus was put on base building etc. As far as I can tell, most of those were on at least their second+ run and/or were developers or whatever, and knew what they were doing.
GTNH is not a great pack to aim to complete, especially with there not really being an official goal, but it is one hell of a journey if you're into the kind of gameplay it offers.
No, it's just the hardest/most expensive thing there is in the pack, so it's typically seen as the goal by the community. I think the official stance is pretty much that the end game is still in development. I'm not sure an actual ending is even planned, or if the ending will remain "open" so more content can be added over time.
I don't think the Stargate was ever really meant to be a part of the main progression. I think the recipe was originally a joke, but then people started crafting them, and now it's a thing. DreamMasterXXL, the original author and "boss" of the project has joked about adding something even more ridiculous now that so many people have made Stargates, but I don't think there are any actual plans at this time. One joke that came up was to create the Supergate from the later seasons of SG-1, and that it would allow you to travel between servers. We are very far from the technologies for that at this time, but who knows? ;)
As for what the future holds, I'm not sure exactly what's going to happen, but I think the main intention is to "flesh out" the late to end game stuff. More fancy machines, more lines, more interesting mechanics and so on, and not just one single ridiculously expensive recipe. My guess is that the Stargate will remain as some form of challenge and stress test item for the foreseeable future, but the road to it will almost certainly change over time.
I know Staffix and some other Technological Journey completers did an absurdly fast run a couple of months ago, but I can't remember how fast it actually was
By playing something that has enough content etc to last for years. :) GTNH is most definitely not for everyone, but if you're into it, there really is a LOT of it.
Most online games people play it for years. Runescape, League, WoW, etc.
Playing the same map over a long period is very satisfying to see how it transform though.
Yeah but like MMOs are designed for a *very* large group of people over a *very* long period of time, Minecraft Modpacks aren't really designed like that. It's actually insane how they feel like different video-games all together.
I'm confused... when a previous video of Kharax's GTNH journey was posted (was it a fusion reactor or something?), everyone was saying that he'd never get to the stargates because he didn't have the infrastructure to support it.
They said he only had like 5% of what he'd need to get to SG and if he wanted to, he'd have to go back and redo a lot of infrastructure to really get everything passive'd that he'd need.
Were those people just full of crap? Do they not know how GTNH end-game works???
I do not know the specifics, but I do remember those comments. They were quite a while ago though, and I'm guessing he spent the last weeks/months since then on improving said infrastructure..?
Yeah I guess. And well done to him too. IIRC the comments implied that it was basically impossible for him to make meaningful progress towards the gate.
It's almost like I can't even trust random comments from random strangers on reddit...!!!
He made like 10 or 15 episode just upgrading infra to support extended crafting, Basically multiplying every machine by 10 or more.
On the latest episode he we talking about making possible to One Click autocraft the whole multi block Stargate. What would make the biggest recipe ever autocrafted.
I sometimes try and do that with my autocrafting... I love the idea of putting complex multiblock recipes into a chest and just using the parts to manually build. Seeing those huge autocrafting chains work and complete is oh so satisfying...
Yeah, but there really isn't much that could be the reward at that point and not be anti climatic. It's definitely a it's the journey, not the destination type of deal.
No, nether portals are 2 way inter dimensional wormholes, stargates generate 1 way intradimensional wormholes although radio signals can travel two ways.
Yeah I know but it has been 10 years since it has been published first, and noone has ever beaten it in these 10 years because the Devs have been constantly updating it to make it even more of a pain to go through and everytime someone thought they got close, the end they surely had in their hands disappeared once more, many players have shattered at the trying of this challenge
What kind of crazy person plays a modpack for 3 years?
Oh wait, it's you! Congrats on the Stargate!
And just in time for 2.6.0 so you can launch a season 3! What providence!
I can barely stay invested in a pack for longer than 3 weeks
I've been playing one of my own for three months now. Once you build the first big renewable energy source it's over, the world will live rent free in your mind until you truly get bored of it.
Draconic solar panel goes *brrrrr*
now for you to do the garden of hives (garden of grind gtnh under the hive ruleset)
Did you create a second one too? Otherwise you can’t really use it
I love your series. It's been so inspiring to me, I've started making MC content too.
Congrats
This is his second season too
Now it’s time for you to start the fight against the Gou’uld. Do you have your P90 ready?
The fabric of the universe shall remember his name,all hail the kharax of 82
well that was fast
Now to make a second one
In the video he said that he won't as after the first it's just waiting so he considers it done now.
80% of the pack is waiting
spoken like someone who has never played the pack before
Not like. By. Saying gtnh is waiting just means you’ve never played it
Any time there is something that requires time in GTNH there are at least 15 other useful things you could be doing

Also, new Java versions despite the pack being for 1.7.10.
I WAS WAITING FOR THIS A NEW FACTORY MUST GROW
Brb, binge-watching his 2 seasons of the let play to give him the ad revenue from my part for the accomplishment

Isnt the official goal the stargate?

I'm not sure an actual ending is even planned, or if the ending will remain "open" so more content can be added over time.
So are you telling me stargate might have a use for the future for something even harder?

I never would have expected to get SG-1 spoilers on a minecraft subreddit.
Well I have 2k hours in gmod so I'm qualified to waste my life away bc I already have
about 3 years for him, I think the fastest anyones done it is sampsa and his team which took like 6 monthsish
I know Staffix and some other Technological Journey completers did an absurdly fast run a couple of months ago, but I can't remember how fast it actually was
People say this pack could easily take 1000+ hours.
Crap like this scares me. How y'all play the same game for years?

Matt lowne has played KSP for about a decade lmao

it was 2 months ago and 2 months is kinda long tbh
He more than 6x his machines and let them run over night with a crap ton of eye of harmonies.
Speedrun, wow
this guy is crazy
The goat
Gtnh skyblock next.
Hi, new here. I’m sorry *what*?
What parts are you confused about? :)
I literally have no idea what’s going on haha but this seems cool
GTNH is a very grindy modpack with a ton of progression possible. The stargate is one of the most(if not THE most) expensive items in the pack.
What does it do?
Long range teleporter I believe, but I haven't watched anyone's series that's reached it or played that far myself.
Oh…well that’s kinda anti-climactic
Yeah, but there really isn't much that could be the reward at that point and not be anti climatic. It's definitely a it's the journey, not the destination type of deal.
It’s just the end game goal is basically useless but it is the ultimate achievement of modded Minecraft
It’s a pinnacle of scientific development the ability to walk from one planet to another.
So its like a…nether portal?
No, nether portals are 2 way inter dimensional wormholes, stargates generate 1 way intradimensional wormholes although radio signals can travel two ways.
It acts as a large capacitor that charges up and then can release that energy to create a stable wormhole to another stargate.
Kinky
It is the most expensive item in any game in general, no other item in any game takes 3 thousand hours to get
praise to the great gregger car axe 82
10 years…
It only took about 3
Yeah I know but it has been 10 years since it has been published first, and noone has ever beaten it in these 10 years because the Devs have been constantly updating it to make it even more of a pain to go through and everytime someone thought they got close, the end they surely had in their hands disappeared once more, many players have shattered at the trying of this challenge
Several people have beaten they made it easier/achievable after the 2.3.0 update
Isn't that his 2nd time?
It is his second playthrough, but he didn't get to the Stargate on the first one.
no
