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• Deep Earth Heating Pump has outdated comment about cost.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

• 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

[Maykeye]

@Maykeye this is not a suitable place for bigger discussions.

OK, I didn't think it was that a big deal. I've created separate issue.

I also have a suggestion: The quest AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAErg== in the UV chapter called "Upgrading The Reactor" asks for 1 UV Energy Hatch, while the preview wants 16. The same goes for the ZPM quest, but not the LuV quest (this one asks for 16)

dont blindly trust the preview

All other amounts for blocks in the quests are correct, it makes no sense for one of them to be wrong

I don't blindly trust the preview, which is why I've asked on discord, but I've been told I should know the drill by now. So what is it now? I don't understand...
The quest says it can handle recipes up to 640M startup, maybe the quest (and ZPM quest) should then at least tell me in advance how much EU a hatch adds, like the LuV quest

how many you need is recipe dependent. 16 is almost certainly not the right number.

the neutronium recipe for example needs all 16 hatches

[chochem]

its optional

[bluhbipo]

its optional

ok then how about we make it 13 energy hatches which is the minimum for americium?

[cecilialau6776]

• Quests AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADNg== (Space Race -> Oxygen Gear) and AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADMg== (Space Race -> Frequency Module) should have quest AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUA== (Multiblock Goals -> Compress All The Things) as a prerequisite (current version 2.7.0)

[chochem]

• fix flower power quest. the seeds complete without checking the species.

also maybe add comment to some early seed quests that scanning is required?

[chochem]

• fix outdated NEI hint in quest 'Pipes, Pipes Everywhere' as NEI search was changed in 2.7.0

[cecilialau6776]

I suggest that quest AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAFEg== (Applied Energistics -> Wireless Setup) change pronoun from "himself" to "theirself" (or "themselves" or "themself" or another gender-neutral pronoun) in "... cannot exclude himself any rights."

[KleinGrrmpf]

In the quest "Separate Those Last Specks" in the Monaline, it says that you get some Chlorobenzene when centrifuging, but you actually get Chloromethane back.

[cecilialau6776]

Quest b_Ll4zvSRfCMgmqiBa4Xkw== (Mutliblock Goals -> Don't Lose That Multiblock Miner!) misspells "Sensor" as "Senor" in "Unlike the GregTech Senor Kit..."

[wlhlm]

• Quest "Let's Get Crackin!" Adjust Cupronickel Coil Block amount from 16 to 20 (4 are required for the controller block).

[eigenraven]

• Describe that twilight forest raven feathers can be obtained by scaring off ravens by running at them in addition to killing them, see Raven's Raven Protection PR twilightforest#102 (20% drop probability, 20 second cooldown, idk if we want to be this precise in the qb as we might want to rebalance the numbers later)

[wlhlm]

• Quest "Silky Jewel" Adjust description to consider GT ores (Silk Touch is now usable on them).
• Quest "Where'd I Put That Amber?" Remove mention of GT Tools.

[serenibyss]

New ae2 parts to consider for quests:

• Fake Crafting Card
• Equal Distribution Card
• Overflow Void Card
• Superliminal Acceleration Card
• Neutronium Energy Anchor

[Baerschen]

Oversight of mentions of making PAs

[Dream-Master]

2x and 4x EBF need a new icon since double and quadrupple ingots are gone :(

[Vsevolod090]

I suggest adding quest about certus quartz tank, connected to the quarzite vein quest

[Dream-Master]

2x and 4x EBF need a new icon since double and quadrupple ingots are gone :(

fixed btw

[EthanGraber]

Very slight typo in the EBF Multiblock quest (mufffler)

[barsikus007]

wrong items in thermal boiler quest
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH6w==

[Lxran]

Applied Energistics tab, Dense Boys (AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAFEw==) quest mentions the Dense Energy Cell can hold 1.6 million units when in reality the Dense Energy Cell can hold 16 million AE.

[Celarious]

Minor typo in the Steel Chest BBB quest V4jinTYRSueIrEqn90dRzQ==

Also made a PR for this because it's a quick and easy fix #18977
