FTB Team Bases guide for FTB Skies 2 1.22.0

FTB Team Bases is part of the pack's mod list. This version ships FTB Team Bases 21.1.18, as the file ftb-team-bases-21.1.18.jar. It was already included in this version or an earlier one.^[1]

Unverified The available sources only confirm that the mod is installed and which version it is. They do not describe its features, who it is aimed at, or where it fits in the pack's progression, so none of that is covered here. Nothing I was given shows it on the ATM Star path or tied to any quest, so check in-game before relying on it.

Same as in the FTB StoneBlock 4 1.22.0 guide

The only thing I can confirm about FTB Team Bases in this pack is that it adds the Portal Block, listed in the mod's own language file as "Portal Block".^[2]

I don't have a crafting recipe, quest or config option for this mod in the pack, so I can't give you a first-steps order or a recipe block for it. I'd rather leave that out than guess.^[2]

Unverified How you obtain the Portal Block, what it does, and how team bases are created or entered in this pack are not confirmed by the available sources.

The sources I have for FTB Team Bases only cover one thing: a single setting in the structure toggle config. This section is short because I won't guess at how the mod works beyond that.^[3]

The structure toggle config

The pack ships a structure toggle file for the mod, and in it start.start is set to true. So that entry is switched on in this pack.^[3]

Unverified The sources don't say what the start.start entry does in game, which structure it refers to, or whether it differs from the mod's default. Treat its exact effect as unconfirmed.

What isn't covered

Unverified The sources don't explain any machines, multiblocks, power, fluid or item handling, or automation for this mod. They also give no recipes, since no recipes produce this mod's items, and no in-game descriptions. Anything about how team bases are created or managed is unconfirmed here. This site does hold FTB Skies 2's own recipes, read from the pack itself: look the item up in the item browser.

There are no tiers to climb for this mod. The pack's quest book places it at the very start: the Welcome chapter, which is chapter 1 of 41 and has 4 quests. The pack describes itself as a sandbox-style Skyblock where mods are not particularly gated, so you can progress however you like.^[4]

The pack's final goal is completing the FTB Pyramid, and that is told in "Welcome to FTB Skies 2!" quest, the first quest of the chapter.^[4]

Setting up your team

If you want to share a starting island with friends, "Creating and Joining a team" quest walks you through it. A team is created for you automatically the first time you join a world, so you have to leave it before you can join your friends.^[4]

1. Type /ftbteams party leave in chat to leave the team that was created for you.^[4]
2. The party leader invites each new player with /ftbteams party invite <username>.^[4]
3. A message appears in chat asking the invited player to accept or decline.^[4]

Useful commands

The last quest in the chapter, a quest in "Welcome", has no title of its own. It lists a handful of commands for getting around:^[4]

• /ftbteambases home teleports you back to your starting island.^[4]
• /sethome (name) sets a home, and /home (name) teleports you back to it.^[4]
• /back returns you to a previous point, either from a death or from where you last teleported from.^[4]
• /spawn teleports you back to the lobby.^[4]
• /spark tps checks the server's TPS, which is handy for seeing whether your world is lagging.^[4]

The chapter also includes "Found A Bug?" quest, which asks you to report anything that doesn't work properly, either on Discord or as a bug report on GitHub.^[4]

Unverified The sources don't show any crafting recipes or later quest chapters that involve this mod, so there is no further progression path to describe.

In the pack's quest book, FTB Team Bases comes up in the "Welcome" chapter, the first chapter of the book.^[4]

What the Welcome chapter asks for

Every quest in this chapter uses a checkmark task. You don't hand in items or craft anything, you just read the quest and tick it off.^[4]

• "Welcome to FTB Skies 2!" quest is the intro. Its text introduces the pack as a sandbox-style Skyblock and names completing the FTB Pyramid as the final goal.^[4]
• "Creating and Joining a team" quest asks you to read how to team up with friends on the same starting island. Its text tells you to type /ftbteams party leave in chat first, because a team is created for you when you first join. After that, it says the party leader types /ftbteams party invite followed by a username, and the invited player gets a chat message to accept or decline.^[4]
• a quest in "Welcome" has no title in the book. Its text lists commands for you to use, including /ftbteambases home.^[4]
• "Found A Bug?" quest asks you to let the pack's makers know about anything that doesn't work properly, on Discord or with a bug report on GitHub.^[4]

The Team Bases command

The untitled commands quest lists /ftbteambases home and describes it as teleporting you back to your starting island.^[4]

The only FTB Team Bases config I can confirm for this pack is the structure toggle file, and it's a short one. Here's what it does and how the pack sets it.^[3]

• start.start is set to true in this pack.^[3]

I can't tell you whether that value differs from the mod default, because the sources don't list the default. So don't assume the pack changed it.^[3]

Unverified What this option does in detail (for example, which structure it controls) and what the mod's default value is are not confirmed by the available sources. Other FTB Team Bases config files and options aren't covered here either.
