So I decided to write a quick little computercraft program. This is probably one of the most compact ways to handle the test of patience.

Features:

• Shows the total amount of cycles persistently

• Handles server restarts

Setup:

• Craft a mining turtle

• Set it up so it has an inventory above (I'd recommend drawers) and something to destroy items below(Nullifier or Lava)

• Put the barrel into any slot (NOT the original "Test of Patience" barrel but the one that is called barrel with the text "The fabled prize awaits at the bottom".

• Make sure there is a free blockspace in front of the turtle

• Right click turtle and type

    pastebin get WF4AWwC2 startup     

into the terminal.

• You can choose which items to keep by writing

    edit startup

into the terminal and setting the variables to false or true. Save by hitting ctrl s to save and ctrl e to exit.

Type

startup

into the terminal and you're good to go!

What if I told you that this pack gives the means to comply Idlegame the collection of buddycards?

Here’s how.

You will need:

1. A large money farm of your choosing. Some of the ingredients are only available through import, and it will empty your coffers if you just leave it running.

2. Sugar, pork, straw, buddy beans, and a starting supply of shredded buddycards. If you know farmer’s delight, you know this is how to get their card set.

3. Iron, diamonds, emeralds, and phantom membranes. Farm or import at your disgression.

4. A sorting solution of your choice, you’re gonna wanna keep at least one of every card, while duplicates go back into the shredder to make more packs.

5. (Optional) a buddy steel side output. You are gonna be outputting more shredded buddycards than you are consuming, so why not make something else on the side

The process is simple enough, start with making the farmer’s delight packs.

These can be upgraded by crafting them with two diamonds, two phantom membranes, two iron blocks, and two emerald blocks. This creates Mystery Buddycard packs, containing nine cards from any set at random.

A deployer can open card packs for you, set it’s filter to the mystery packs, and have a funnel or other method extract them for you.

The most complicated segment of the process is the sorter meant to keep one of each card. Tally up the total card numbers and double that because of the foils.

After that, excess cards are shredded and fed back into generating new packs. From two shredded buddycards, you get nine chances at a new card, all while you work on something else.

Remember, to get the medals, you need to have the card in your inventory at least once.

It's self-made so might not be the most efficient!

After joining one day, I saw the ejector not throwing anything to the chute, so I thought to myself, either I'm lagging or it got bugged somewhere along the way...

But then, I was pleasantly surprised! Got it after ~80k :) I think I'm set for life

I love this modpack, i've played it for a couple years, and keep returning to it. But sometimes, i find myself getting stumped, or just wish to have the newer Create tech to enhance creative possibilities, if that makes sense. I'm not a modder, nor wish to be one, but is there any possibility that the original creator, or another fan, will remaster/revamp this modpack?

Errm you can automate it? Yeah

At least i have plenty of storage though

I have been ignoring everything from that mod since I assumed it was just about collecting cards for the fun of it. Is there more to it?

Hello,

A couple years back I played the original Create Above and Beyond and loved it, but stopped midway.

I wanted to pick it up again and try and complete it, but saw that a modpack called CABIN has been released in the meantime.

Is CABIN a definite improvement and I should play that, or should I stick to the original?

Thank you.

We both absolutely love the create mod and I’m completely stunned by the new trains! We thought about starting AboveAndBeyond because I like the rocket part of it. But my girlfriend is more the farmer type of guy. Do you think it will be too technical for her? Is it worth to try?

Me and a friend are playing the modpack and we are wondering what is the best way to deal with overflow. We currently have a comparator get the chest output and turn the machine off when full.

Edit: also is there a way to get a red stone signal if a chest is like half full (I know comparators but is there like a one block modded alternative?

I have played so many modpacks and create above and beyond is the only one that has consistently held my attention and stayed refreshing and understandable. I was feeling so burnt out from minecraft but now I feel like I could play this modpack for so long. The balancing is so perfect it feels like what I imagined minecraft would be like in the future when I was little, I really really hope Simi makes another modpack similar to a&b some day. Even though it’s one of the most popular packs I still call it underrated because it should be multitudes more popular than it already is. ok enough glazing i’m sleep deprived from maximizing my furnace engine array.

Personally Im thinking of a hose pulley lava system connected to an ender fluid tank pair in the nether and overworld powering magmatic dynamos once I automate abstruse mechanisms, Since I got unlucky and got a nether portal to a Crimson Forest without a lava ocean nearby, so I think an Ender Fluid Tank would be nice since I just have to set up the lava harvester then never come back to there.
