[Solved][79.13] Unable to work Bloom/Refined Bloom

[pgelinas 1]

Version #: 79.13

SSP/SMP (Single/MultiPlayer): SSP and SMP

Suggested Name: Unable to work Bloom/Refined Bloom

Suggested Category: Severe

Description:

 

As per title: unable to work Raw Bloom to Refined Bloom and Refined Bloom to ingots on a bronze anvil. Was working before, we have a stash of Wrought Iron Ingots, but I think we made those on 79.12. I tried different combination, to no avail. I was able to do it ONCE (Raw Bloom to Refined) on a test world in creative after deleting the config files, but I'm unable to make more, even after deleting the config. See attached image: the two arrows are lined up properly with the correct anvil "recipe".

Have you deleted your config files and are still able to reproduce this bug?: Yes

 

Do you have any mods other than Forge and TFC installed?: Yes

If yes, which mods?

 

Shaders, NEI

If you have Optifine or Cauldron installed, can you still reproduce the bug after uninstalling them? Yes

This sometimes happens to me as well. It was reported a good while back as well. The trick I use to fix is to throw it back in force when it should have completed. Let it warm a bit and then put back in anvil. Usually it completes it then. Others have suggested reselecting the plan, but that never worked for me.

Are you using the plan selector to select what you want to do each time you start a new bloom? Are you absolutely sure the bloom hasn't cooled down below working temperature? Have you tried breaking and replacing the anvil? Have you tried reheating the bloom, putting it back in the anvil, and reselecting the plan?

Are you using the plan selector to select what you want to do each time you start a new bloom?

 

Usually the plan is selected automatically each time so no I don't select the plan. I tested reselecting the plan, but it doesn't work.

 

 Are you absolutely sure the bloom hasn't cooled down below working temperature?

 

Well, if I'm able to work the bloom to that point, it has to be above working temperature.

 

 Have you tried breaking and replacing the anvil?

 

As noted in the description, brand new creative world with brand new anvil had the same behaviour as my usual game.

 

 Have you tried reheating the bloom, putting it back in the anvil, and reselecting the plan?

 

We did try it several time because we weren't sure what was going on: it didn't work. However, in my test world I tried working a raw bloom, which didn't work either; it was yellow (can't remember stars) at that point. I put in back in the forge, then right on the anvil and then BOOM, Refined. Had to do the same thing for the refined bloom.

I tried it again for another bloom, still wouldn't work. I had to fiddle with the bloom: back and forth between the anvil and the forge, reselecting the plan, reworked the bloom which at one point worked. It was yellow too (wasn't sure of stars there either).

To make sure it wasn't temperature-related, I did a third and fourth test. Made sure the bloom was white before starting to work on it and it refined on first try: the refined was yellow white.

Fourth test, bloom was orange, worked first try.

 

Really, I have no idea what was wrong before, now I can't seem to reproduce the problem.... it might be the combination of the actions to refine the bloom? It's just a shot in the dark here...

So, although it seems my issue is (kinda) resolved, perhaps there should be a note somewhere that this CAN happen and what to do when it does. It still annoying, because I never had that on my B78 game which we were up to black steel...

 

Thanks for the help,

P.

This behavior isn't actually working as intended, and is likely what is causing your problem, which is why it has been removed for the next version of TFC. In order to make sure that stuff is worked on the anvil properly, you need to select the plan each time you put the item in the anvil.

Thank you for the precision, we will make sure to always select the plan from now on.

I've found that the bloom plan NEEDS to be selected, most of the other pre-selected plans are fine. I forget from time to time and hit the mark, then need do it again after selecting the plan, once selected it works every time.
