This brings up an interesting question: Do you consider Draconic Evolution to be a magic mod that uses RF, an industrial mod that borders on magic, or an industrial mod that just has spiffy effects that look like magic? I've bee pondering this one for a while and I'd like a Dire opinion. #draconicparadox
doc8125 gotta stop you there, Averitia was always a joke mod, making fun of the power creep in 1.7.10 mods. Clearly people didn't get the joke. and took it seriously. which is far more worrying in the first place.
Alex Feliccia is that me? am I nz person? I'm an nz person. if it is. Then. No thats the point the authors of the mod, made it as a joke. Some people sayng different to the authors is my point. When the power creep is so normal that they don't recognize the joke and instead take it seriously.
Really clear and well paced (not too slow neither too quick to understand) video, thank you! Going to the part 2 because I'm especially interested in the energy part of this mod :D
sorry you made a mistake. you CAN kill the Wither with Draconic evolution even if it's the first wither of the map. the grinder does not require a star! only requires a core which is 4 draconic ingots, 4 gold ingots and a diamond. the recipe for the grinder itself is also really cheap, the core + 1 draconic ingot, 1 vanilla furnace, 2 diamond swords and 4 iron. for a block that instakills the wither.. edit: also it requires a really small amount of power to do so, and the generator is also really cheap (and generates quite a lot of power from a coal, but it burns it quickly)
I have a feeling that it will be nerfed in the future, or at least they should add some kind of a mechanic that will prevent the mob grinder from killing the wither unless an upgrade of some sort that requires a wither is applied.
We need our boi to bring back Dragon Resurrection that doesn't reset the end. WE NEED THIS. We don't care if you buff the heck out of the dragon, we just want our super-boss back...
you could resummon the ender dragon but you could also fly 10000 blocks in north,south,west or east and there you could find a caos dragon that drops 2 hearts i belive it should still be implemented
Paul Banks well... No. There is a special dragon added with draconic evolution called chaos guardian that only way to not get instakilled is draconic armor (the awakened set) there was a mod with extremely OP armor called equivalent exchange 2, where it was almost creative mod, but it hasn't been updated to the version where draconic evolution had been implemented ☺️
ProjectE is EE2's spiritual successor. The Gem Armor set is pretty powerful, but it's not invincible. I've seen a few things that can get through it. #equivalentexchangelives
Just wanted to point out, you can make a mob grinder from DE that will 1-shot the wither when he spawns in, no need to actually fight it. The mob grinder requires very little resources to gather so it is a great alternative to actually fighting the wither boss for nether stars.
This mod needs a power generation of sorts to handle this kinda thing.... also i love how it took him 3 takes to showcase him taking a considerable amount of damage with the helmet alone.
looks like the maker has done what he could to create balance. this all seems like end game stuff craftable after you kill the wither and especially when you can frequent the end
When direwolf20 is wrong. He said "their is no ore doubeling because it drops dust" Yes their is, us silk touch and crash the ore. draconium ore doubles like every other ore.
Really there is an "end game" section of Minecraft. It is when you are fully established, you have loads of resources and pretty much nothing can kill you. That is why I love Botania so much, it really extands the end game section when you have to deal with Guardians and the like.
also, many people are so slow, arrow ehad yourself tyo thigns that will get you there quicker, thigns dnt need to look pretty, just do it and you get there
Draconic Evolution is the only brokenly overpowered mod i like because unlike crap like the Torchorino or however its spelt you have to work your butt off to get this stuff. Dont think ive ever seen anyone finish Draconic Evolution because its so expensive.
I've seen other people go over this mod and it was seriously like 20 episodes long, but that's because they went over every and I repeat EVERY item, implemented or not implemented. And you breeze through it in two episodes flat. (I think)
Wow, I was just thinking about getting into Draconic Evolution, nice vid! :D Question about the armor, does it block the wither effect? aaaaand what power system do you suggest in order to mantain a draconic setup?
draconic helm blocked every negetive effect (in 1.7.10)even modded ones including warp effects .In hindsight big reactors is one of the main reasons draconic was so op (another reason was its self)
so, I ran into a witch and got hit by her potion and I got hit by the effect, my health bar turned green but I got no damage. So I guess it works like any other damage, it nullifies it and raises the red bar while nullifying it
Every video should start with "Get a tinkers pickaxe with smelting and stage 3 Lapis on it before you do anything else" .... then you just get 3-4 ingots every time you swing away.
Yes. He even says that in the vid. You do not need to keep the basic set, they can be crafted into the Wyvern set, then those can be crafted into the Draconic set. The draconic injectors will work for all tiers of crafting.
Yea, I love the spotlight... Will never try the mod out. Personally, if they'd just give us a config to adjust the damage and hp value of everything down to the shield or enemy's well then I'd consider it. The mod LOOKS awesome, but I don't want to invalidate everyone else on the server unless they use DE too...
When you upgrade the armor/tools through the fusion crafting does it lose all upgrades you gave it? Ie. upgrade wyvern pick AoE 3 times, then upgrade the pick to draconic, do i still have the 3 AoE upgrades attached to it?
Shame the Gaia Guardian can only take some much damage. So weapons like the Staff of Power and Big Bertha weapons won't be one-shotting it. Gotta love Vazkii's need for balance, huh. No sarcasm though. I really do like his checks and balances for his mod. Not overpowered, and not underdeveloped. Botania has come a long was. Especially in 1.10+
yes but I'm having a problem on upgrading from wyvern to draconic fusion crafting injectors it wants 1million rf per tick I think but its not letting me see the parts it needs to in the fusion core I've
So, does that mean as opposed to 1.7, we can can install all upgrades on a single tool/weapon instead of just the 6/9 cores that you could install in 1.7?
waitwait, drac evolution is nerfed? YEA BOIS no longer is it the main thing to get lots of power through any method (big reactors usually, via turbine + exploiting MFR boilers), go to the end with flight (jetpack or angel ring) and mine out a full inventory of dust, then just rinse and repeat with your new overpowered armour. also don't forget to use a hammer made of full ardite for early game instamine, you can't get a faster tool until you get awakened drac pickaxe.
here's the thing: full ardite gets 15 stonebound bonus, resulting in 23 mining speed without redstone. A few modifiers of redstone, while leaving enough for flux cap and luck, and a traveller's glove with 500 redstone on it will result in instamine in the style of EE2/dracevo/vajra. It's massively overpowered, and probably should be nerfed, but hey, it's fun.
Don't forget the Mekanism power systems which can produce / charge huge amount of the power. Also there are the reika's system. RotaryCraft, ElectricCraft(60TRF in one block) and ReactorCraft. Which takes weeks to work with though. And Gregtech Ultra voltage and so on. There are other OP-like mods which I did not mentioned. Minecraft is the game of the choice. I do not mind the OPness. I personally play Gregtech/Reika's mod with Draconic Revolution. Draconic Evolution is end contents and I'm curious what is nerfed. And I'm bit sad about it.
Decro Byron I usually go from earlygame to endgame with reika's mods when available, and only once I've done so do I bother with other mods simply because reika's is more fun. Then I see all these people going to endgame in a single day then boasting about it and destroying the market by dumping thousands of draconium into it.
Unless they are forcing you in your multiplayer server, it does not matter. If you do not play multiplayer server, nothing to worry about. Like DW20 said in his let's play game, how to play is up to everyone's choice. Unless it is the deal breaker for specific mod pack, no reason to nerf. I like the OP when it needed.
It's kind of sad that he got rid of the dragon summoning. The vanilla respawn mechanic is quite bad as it destroys all the stuff you've built in the area where the obsidian pillars are. So building a base in the end is much more annoying now - even in modded.
Well...you shouldn't really be building in the dragon arena anyway if you want to keep fighting it. But it is annoying that the dragon can destroy any vanilla block it flies through. Like, ideally you'd want to make a rail system to reach the terrain gen consistently. But if youre resummoning the dragon, it's inevitable that will get destroyed eventually. At the very least, rails should be immune to the dragon's destruction ability.
That's because he built his stuff outside of the dragon spawn area. I understand that Mojang was doing that to avoid us cheesing the dragon fight by building stuff there. But I would really like to build a base around the portal back from the end and that stuff would all get destroyed.
It's so annoying because the end portal is the one space where you'd actually build stuff in the end. Like an outpost base around the portal. If Draconic Evolution would have kept its own respawn mechanic, that would have enabled us to build stuff like that again at least in modded.
unfortunately as of ATM3 modpack and October 2018, the tablet pulls info from the github site and the github wiki doesn't exist, so trying to click anything in the tablet crashes my game. Not sure if that's just me.

Lee Junwoo it's been like that for a while. i do agree its kind of op and some kind of basic infusion of sorts will be awesome
"Cool!"
-direwolf20 2017
Now I see why this mod has "end game" written all over it.
Huge thank you, Dire, for finally adding this mod to the pack, and doing a mod spotlight!
Wow, the first day I get the mod, and he comes out with a spotlight! Thanks Dire! You are the best youtuber!
Literally I was looking for a mod spotlight this morning, 3 hours before you uploaded xD
We need our boi to bring back Dragon Resurrection that doesn't reset the end.
WE NEED THIS. We don't care if you buff the heck out of the dragon, we just want our super-boss back...

yaay! spotlight is where i learn most. i love it! happy new year folks!
if you combined this mod and magical crops mod top tier armour you're pretty much OP
Paul Banks well... No. There is a special dragon added with draconic evolution called chaos guardian that only way to not get instakilled is draconic armor (the awakened set) there was a mod with extremely OP armor called equivalent exchange 2, where it was almost creative mod, but it hasn't been updated to the version where draconic evolution had been implemented ☺️

No, that happened already in Dire's playthrough with Soaryn.
Just wanted to point out, you can make a mob grinder from DE that will 1-shot the wither when he spawns in, no need to actually fight it. The mob grinder requires very little resources to gather so it is a great alternative to actually fighting the wither boss for nether stars.
I looked it up "direwolf draconic evolution spotlight" this morning, and nope. Nothing.
I see this in my subs box a few hours later. How fitting!
9*9*9?? Oh no, random dire caves incoming
thanks for the spotlight I had a lot of hard times trying to do this mod
What I will say about draconic is that the animations are all beautiful
Thank you needed a mod spotlight on this which I only watch your spotlights as there are very neat and organized.
drayconic, about the draygons
Everything in this mod is insanely overpowered, but for some reason it is shoehorned into every modpack ever.
Drinking game: Drink a shot each time direwolf says "Nice"
I refuse. I'd get too drunk. :3
Hey Dire! When are you going to make that "Open Computers" mod spotlight you promised around five months ago?
This mod needs a power generation of sorts to handle this kinda thing.... also i love how it took him 3 takes to showcase him taking a considerable amount of damage with the helmet alone.
looks like the maker has done what he could to create balance. this all seems like end game stuff craftable after you kill the wither and especially when you can frequent the end
that combining animation was oddly satisfying.
This mod is completely mental.

wolfdog1001 It's still end game. Soaryn's game just gets there quicker. WAYYYYY quicker
In normal game it is...

That is why I love Botania so much, it really extands the end game section when you have to deal with Guardians and the like.
its nto end game, its any part of the game if you want to set forthinto it,
push yourselfin that direction enough and you can do it
also, many people are so slow, arrow ehad yourself tyo thigns that will get you there quicker, thigns dnt need to look pretty, just do it and you get there
Draconic Evolution is the only brokenly overpowered mod i like because unlike crap like the Torchorino or however its spelt you have to work your butt off to get this stuff. Dont think ive ever seen anyone finish Draconic Evolution because its so expensive.
its really not that hard in a modded environment plus it ruins pvp on servers.
Thanks Dire :) been waiting for this from 2016
Tip use an auto smelt fortune III pick to mine draconium. You will get like 16+ ingots per ore.
I've seen other people go over this mod and it was seriously like 20 episodes long, but that's because they went over every and I repeat EVERY item, implemented or not implemented. And you breeze through it in two episodes flat. (I think)

What happened?

Oh perfect timing! I had plans to get into Draconic Evolution this year :D
The word "radius" is misspelled in the in game documentation, just FYI.
Amazing, been waiting
Wow, I was just thinking about getting into Draconic Evolution, nice vid! :D
Question about the armor, does it block the wither effect?
aaaaand what power system do you suggest in order to mantain a draconic setup?
As I done in 1.7.10(not new version), it did nullified every bad effect including the wither. I had to use the at least Big reactor.
draconic helm blocked every negetive effect (in 1.7.10)even modded ones including warp effects .In hindsight big reactors is one of the main reasons draconic was so op (another reason was its self)
so, I ran into a witch and got hit by her potion and I got hit by the effect, my health bar turned green but I got no damage.
So I guess it works like any other damage, it nullifies it and raises the red bar while nullifying it
leo sky the best way to supply the amount of energy necessary would be 81 maxed out big reactors
its effective in fact it blocks void damage if the shield holds up
That Soaryn dazzler is pretty nice.

2.5 hours till skyfactory 3 is released to the public!
are End Meteors/Asteroids implemented for getting Draconium in the end?

can u use the higher tier injectors to do basic crafting? I would imagine you would. example chaotic to do basic?
Emrit Ramharracksingh Probably. I dont see why not
Yes. He even says that in the vid. You do not need to keep the basic set, they can be crafted into the Wyvern set, then those can be crafted into the Draconic set. The draconic injectors will work for all tiers of crafting.
EE was the real OG
omg finally!! been waiting for ever
xyz isnt implimented but doing a spotlight anyway. doesnt that just mean you will have to do updates and corrections later ?
Yes! Finally! Thank you Dire! ^^
Yea, I love the spotlight... Will never try the mod out. Personally, if they'd just give us a config to adjust the damage and hp value of everything down to the shield or enemy's well then I'd consider it. The mod LOOKS awesome, but I don't want to invalidate everyone else on the server unless they use DE too...
“we’ve only covered the basic tools and armor” ...Oh . I’ve been playing this mod for about 3 days and damn it seems expensive.
When you upgrade the armor/tools through the fusion crafting does it lose all upgrades you gave it?
Ie. upgrade wyvern pick AoE 3 times, then upgrade the pick to draconic, do i still have the 3 AoE upgrades attached to it?
I almost threw up in my mouth after seeing those flickering ores.

Shame the Gaia Guardian can only take some much damage. So weapons like the Staff of Power and Big Bertha weapons won't be one-shotting it. Gotta love Vazkii's need for balance, huh.
No sarcasm though. I really do like his checks and balances for his mod. Not overpowered, and not underdeveloped. Botania has come a long was. Especially in 1.10+
pfff the damage of the staff of power was able to upgrade to 300 damage and one shot the wither :P
You should put a nice counter on this video. I can play a drinking game while watching then.

waitwait, drac evolution is nerfed? YEA BOIS
no longer is it the main thing to get lots of power through any method (big reactors usually, via turbine + exploiting MFR boilers), go to the end with flight (jetpack or angel ring) and mine out a full inventory of dust, then just rinse and repeat with your new overpowered armour.
also don't forget to use a hammer made of full ardite for early game instamine, you can't get a faster tool until you get awakened drac pickaxe.
Overloaderdave Isnt Cobalt faster doe?
here's the thing: full ardite gets 15 stonebound bonus, resulting in 23 mining speed without redstone. A few modifiers of redstone, while leaving enough for flux cap and luck, and a traveller's glove with 500 redstone on it will result in instamine in the style of EE2/dracevo/vajra. It's massively overpowered, and probably should be nerfed, but hey, it's fun.
Don't forget the Mekanism power systems which can produce / charge huge amount of the power.
Also there are the reika's system. RotaryCraft, ElectricCraft(60TRF in one block) and ReactorCraft. Which takes weeks to work with though.
And Gregtech Ultra voltage and so on.
There are other OP-like mods which I did not mentioned. Minecraft is the game of the choice. I do not mind the OPness. I personally play Gregtech/Reika's mod with Draconic Revolution.
Draconic Evolution is end contents and I'm curious what is nerfed. And I'm bit sad about it.

Cool! Neat! Nice!
Nice.... a thing..... nice.... another thing.... nice
Just one question..... Can you turn off the sound the shield makes when it gets hit? Its so annoying
can you upgrade a tool twice at once with two different upgrades
All hail the holy 9X9
My friend included this in our magic mod pack and now he's a god. He rushed it. What an ass.

I only have one word to describe this mod: OP(and amazing xD)
Bruno Pereira he says them in every video he made
Does it make any difference where I put the stuffs on the grid
It's kind of sad that he got rid of the dragon summoning. The vanilla respawn mechanic is quite bad as it destroys all the stuff you've built in the area where the obsidian pillars are. So building a base in the end is much more annoying now - even in modded.

At the very least, rails should be immune to the dragon's destruction ability.
z beeblebrox Well, Etho has a ton of stuff in his end and whenever he re summons the dragon, nothing is damaged
That's because he built his stuff outside of the dragon spawn area. I understand that Mojang was doing that to avoid us cheesing the dragon fight by building stuff there. But I would really like to build a base around the portal back from the end and that stuff would all get destroyed.
It's so annoying because the end portal is the one space where you'd actually build stuff in the end. Like an outpost base around the portal. If Draconic Evolution would have kept its own respawn mechanic, that would have enabled us to build stuff like that again at least in modded.
