FTB Pyramid Map

Jump to: navigation, search

The FTB Pyramid Map is a custom map by the FTB team, using Minecraft 1.2.5 and the Feed The Beast Retro SSP Pack.

The player spawns on a floating island and after reading the instructions, is sent onto a block of gravel on top of a chest, at 1/2 heart health level. They are to make their way to the Monument, a large basalt structure containing complex internal circuitry, a Transposer as a receptacle for items, and signs describing challenges.

Completing a challenge (usually by throwing an item into the receptacle) unlocks one of the chests on the outside of the Monument, which is covered in interdiction torches to ward off monsters.

The main floor of the Monument has a pyramid of lamps, corresponding to the locations of the chests on the front face of the Monument.

Notes[edit]

  • The Equivalent Exchange Transmutation Tablet is the most important item in the map. Without it, you cannot create the large amount of Copper required to finish IC2 Machine challenges, among many, many other things.
  • Bedrock cannot be crafted, broken, transmuted (either with the Philosopher's Stone or with the Transmutation Tablet), obtained by smelting, obtained by compression (in an IC2 Compressor), or otherwise created without hacking tools in any way.
  • Glowstone is necessary but only for very few items such as the Collector Mk 3. The method may be a spoiler but will likely just save frustration: Spoiler: Craft together four Gold Dust in a plus shape, and five Redstone Dust in an X shape (like the TNT recipe) to obtain one Glowstone dust.
  • The Respawn Room contains a stone pressure plate and a 5-minute timer. After five minutes of standing on the plate, a chest in the room fills with the philosopher's stone and other items necessary to begin again. The room has enough stock for about ten such refills. The chest containing the refill items can be accessed through one the windows into the room behind the chest, but this is considered cheating.
  • In the SMP version of Insanity, the mechanism to give out a reward for the Bonus challenge has not been implemented.
