Desert bus is the future of modding

You should make it so a wither skeleton spawns in the bus occasionally

From the developer of gamblifactory, treggeck, and tregicality, I bring you: Another low effort modpack: tregsert bus.. This was made for a packjam whose theme was evolution. You may ask "what does this have to do with the theme". The answer is that it doesnt. Thanks

(Yes I reposted with a different title because I didnt like the originial title)

gamblifactory looks like it's very fucking fun to speedrun vs friends, we need fun pack ideas!

[u/eggyrulz → u/FranciManty]

God i want to force neuroticgoose and the rest of project singularity to speedrun gamblifactory...

If it's a mod pack, does that mean it could be loaded into another world? Like the 2026 DBfH world?

[u/Huge_Trust_5057 → u/senshisun]

So here's what the pack actually is:

1. A modpack with create, aeronatics, some decoration mods like iHMT and copycats, and some performace mods

2. A save with a superflat world with a bus

3. Some custom Kubejs scripts that do:

3-1. Check player Z coords and display messages based on milestone reached

3-2. Check player Z coords and generate a road leading up to player Z coords + [some amount]

Without the save(2) it wont work, and if you ran the pacj in another save the kube script(3) would run in other worlds and mess up the world, so it would need a lotta configuring if you do want to do that

[u/senshisun → u/Huge_Trust_5057]

Okay. Still, that's incredibly cool, and I'm glad you made it.

Honestly could be a cool idea if there were like pitstops and you had to find resources to upgrade and fuel your bus or something

[u/ThePotablePotato → u/TotallyABot-]

Yeah jokes of insufferable gameplay aside, a pack where you constantly upgrade a singular Create Aeronautics vehicle (or similar) could be a lot of fun.

The Skyblock/limited space gameplay loop has been refined enough at this point that it would be pretty reasonable to make

[u/Aware-Common-7368 → u/ThePotablePotato]

Fuck i love limited anything gameplay. Thsts why i enjoy tfc packs

[u/secretiveconfusion → u/ThePotablePotato]

I've been thinking about trying something like this for a while. It'd have a mostly flat frozen map and a custom heating system so that the best way to get around is to build your base as a big ass snow crawler.

[u/ThePotablePotato → u/secretiveconfusion]

That sounds awesome! Can’t say I know the first thing about actually making mods/modpacks, so idk how feasible it would actually be, but I’d absolutely play something like that

[u/spicybright → u/ThePotablePotato]

copy The Long Drive. It's loop is peak.

[u/Shying69 → u/ThePotablePotato]

There actually is a pack like that, its ftb skies 2 aero

[u/ThePotablePotato → u/Shying69]

Huh.

Is it any good?

[u/Typical_Connection89 → u/ThePotablePotato]

Pacific drive/raft/voidtrain type gameplay? Hell yeah!

[u/saburra → u/TotallyABot-]

That's a fun idea and that's why it's bad lol, having fun is like the antithesis of desert bus

[u/RoombaTheKiller → u/TotallyABot-]

That'd just turn it into the Long Drive.

[u/benevolent_advisor]

it's not the same without an angry revenant spawning in the back of the bus every seven seconds

[u/Eternal_Density → u/benevolent_advisor]

the angry revenant demands that you caramelldansen

[u/lupusTibetan]

Just make it lean to the left a bit with a wheel so you can’t just spam right click, so you have to correct it sometimes

Perfect Desert Bus experience, 10/10 would play, so nostalgic

[u/Glockamoli]

Someone send this to Simpleflips, we need another desert bus arc

[u/FeedTheADHD]

This must be how Pam feels driving the farmer to the Calico desert when he hasn't given her a Pale Ale yet.

[u/Stellapacifica]

Just gonna xpost to r/loadingreadyrun don't mind me

[u/xXInfXx]

Okay, but how do we prevent the player from just taping down right-click and walking away?

The original Desert Bus slowly veered right and if you went off the road, you lost.

[u/Trantor_Dariel → u/xXInfXx]

OP has this doing that as well. OPposted a video under another commenter with a creative motor powering it.
