Beginner Tips: Difference between revisions

Like all large modpacks, there are a multitude of items you'll want to bring home - more than can easily fit in your inventory. Early game options for extra portable storage include the [[Backpack (Forestry)|Forestry backpacks]], Backpack’sand [[Backpack_(Editted_for_ModdedNetwork)|ModdedNetwork’s Backpack]] if you luck into a single steel ingot from looting,. Lunch Bag/Lunch Box is for food items only, and [https://ftbwiki.org/Seared_Tank Seared Tanks] for liquids. Players are strongly advised to organize early and stay organized, because the automatic search/sort/craft technologies are many hours distant. Rushing an AE2 system in this pack is not feasible.

Forestry’s backpacks[[Backpack (Forestry)|Backpacks]] have set lists of themed items they can each accept. The most useful for early game are Digger’s (dirt, gravel, cobblestone, etc.), Miner’s (ore blocks, dusts, and crushed ores) Forester’s (plants and tree products), and Hunter’s (mob drops). Each can hold 15 stacks of items, and be upgraded later on for more space. If you use your Forestry backpacks, they cannot be upgraded later in the Carpenter without putting the empty backpack in your crafting grid and clearing the metadata. Note that they have different modes and you may want to put them in a chest when working in base as they take items you pickup by default.

TheEdittedforModdedNetwork's [[Backpack_(Editted_for_ModdedNetwork)|Backpack]]s item from the Backpack mod is theare first store anything option available, gated behind a steel ring. Steel ingots or blocks can sometimes be found in loot chests, otherwise this option isn’t available until you build a Bricked Blast Furnace. Remove any keybind conflict, then hold down Shift + (default B) to open the Backpack GUI. A backpack can be placed in the top slot in order to access it with the assigned key. Specific pickup items can be added to the bottom row. You can only carry up to four backpacks from this mod at once.

For at-base storage[[Item Storage]], the [[Quest Book]] will point you at the Iron Chest mod, JABBA barrels and Storage Drawers.

JABBA Barrels or Storage Drawers? Barrels can be locked without any special items, shift-right-click. Drawers are more flexible in configurations per block and can be chiseled into many colours or made framed for maximum customization. Barrel upgrades require both structural items and the actual upgrades, but have more options than drawers. Neither is strictly better than the other, and both are worth using. Note: The Drawer Controller is limited to a 4 block radius and 50 connected drawer blocks in GT:NH.
