This is a legitimate win and you have saved the day, but the colonists are left wondering where their hero vanished, and why their new world is so dark. As for you and your newfound companion, the stars await...

So I don't really get how the crucible works, I finally got a cheap looking recipe, thaumite, which requires 4 magic aspect and then an iron ingot. I put a fire beneath the crucible, I threw four silverwood logs in (only cheap thing i know of that has a magic aspect on it) and then threw an iron bar in. It ate all the items and.. nothing happened except colored bubbles. What'd I do wrong?

I play on a laptop and do sometimes get chunk loading errors, but disconnecting & reconnecting fixes it for me so idk what's up. Are you playing on windows 10 because windows 10's drive autoupdate has updated a lot of people to intel driver versions that don't really work properly. If you can switch over minecraft to run on your discrete video.

What are you doing for mana generation? I've been considering switching things up from my tree farm -> endoflame build but can't think of a better way to do it, and 20 endoflames can't even begin to keep up with how much mana it takes to charge a dreamwood staff.

(post pics, build pics are the best)

Good call! And with a Gaia Spreader I can finally move my drat generation setup to someplace more convenient, my base has become increasingly awful in its layout because in the beginning everything was just jammed in wherever I could find blight-free places to put stuff, and I've just added things willy nilly instead of having any kind of thought-out layout.

Nope, I'm on Windows 7, though the laptop has dual ati video cards, a high-power discrete and a power-saving onboard. But since I'm on AC powered, it's using the discrete card.


Edit, unrelated: I just manually installed the newest version of Cooking for Blockheads, looks like it's supposed to be a full multiblock kitchen now, with a fridge to store food in, racks to put your pans on, and a sink for getting water for recipes. It looks pretty cool.

How are you guys teching up so fast? Am I doing it wrong focussing on mining in different places? I've finally gotten my 1 enderium pick and 1 pearl, and I just can't imagine how you guys manage to have such a large amount of awesome poo poo.

So is there method to make your breath last longer or something, because I stopped over biodome omega and I pretty much am drowning the instant i hit the seafloor to try and dig my way under the glass. I wanted to snag the teleport point without flooding the dome.

God you are a loving wizard.

gently caress I hate you now I really have to do AE2. I've procrastinated on finally learning AE2 for so long because it just looks like there's so much tedious bullshit to deal with before you get to the good stuff. At least with Thaumcraft I didn't know it was filled with tedious bullshit before I had already learned how to skip most of it

Also I take back what I said earlier, you'll love the Elementium Capped Dreamwood Staff (do the staff, it adds a level of potency) because you have the mana to support it. If you make a couple of them you'll have the recharge rates to support pretty heavy use, too

Here's some hassle-free AE recipes. As usual there is a slight convenience tax and of course you can still make them the old way if you're material starved. Save these into a file ending in .zs (e.g. ae.zs) and put it your scripts folder. Either restart MC or use /mt reload. Enjoy.

code:

//aliases
val iron = <minecraft:iron_ingot>;
val gold = <minecraft:gold_ingot>;
val redstone = <minecraft:redstone>;
val nether_quartz = <minecraft:quartz>;
val diamond = <minecraft:diamond>;
val silicon = <ore:itemSilicon>;

val certus_quartz = <appliedenergistics2:item.ItemMultiMaterial:0>;
val charged_quartz = <appliedenergistics2:item.ItemMultiMaterial:1>;
val fluix_crystal = <appliedenergistics2:item.ItemMultiMaterial:7>;

val proc_gold = <appliedenergistics2:item.ItemMultiMaterial:22>;
val proc_quartz = <appliedenergistics2:item.ItemMultiMaterial:23>;
val proc_diamond = <appliedenergistics2:item.ItemMultiMaterial:24>;


////////////////////////////

//circuit recipes
recipes.addShaped(proc_gold,

No color: - Slots configured to have no color will act as a regular inventory, allowing items to be extracted or inserted without restriction. Slots that would normally be outputs will not automatically eject items if it is un-colored.

There's a bunch of obelisks I thought? There's one on obelisk island, and I swore I saw a few others.

Wolpertinger posted:

Thaumacraft is already pretty decently complex, all the machines you can build with AE/botania just look terrifying, going to have to learn them from scratch in Blightfall too.

Also, I think I accidentally burnt out one of the aspects on my main biodome node (I swear wands speed up and slow down the drain rate at random), is there any way I can get it back? I've got almost no order nodes for some reason, and of course every item i make needs them. I only really know of a couple nodes and i can barely touch them for a second before one aspect starts running out.

Taffer posted:

The recharge rate is a little disappointing, I have the mana to use it quite a bit but the wait times make it a little frustrating. But yeah I'll probably make two (or three ) to use it like wild. It's definitely pretty expensive though.

McFrugal posted:

Don't drain nodes past 1. A node with 0 in an aspect has a chance to lose that aspect or otherwise become damaged (turn pale or fading or change types into a less desirable type). Wands do drain nodes randomly-ish. They swap between aspects as they drain nodes.
My advice is to make a greatwood scepter, then go jar a good compound node to energize. Then you won't have to worry about vis so much.

Wolpertinger posted:

Yeah I was collecting vis to make the goggles of revealing, so I was swapping back and forth between the thaumometer and the wand and oops 0 order and then it vanished.

How do compound aspects work on nodes anyway? I've noticed that it seems like compound aspects don't drain at all since the wand can't store em.

A while back someone was saying that slimes are hard to get, pink slime balls work the same way as green ones, so if you have a farm use the slaughterhouse to get meat ingots and pink slimes...

That was me, and the actual problem I was having is that the thaumcaft jar label recipe doesn't use the oredict slime - it specifically requires green slime.

McFrugal posted:

This is more of a general reply, but uh, if you want infinite vis on the go isn't the blood magic staff what you're looking for? Make a Well of Suffering with cursed earth or witches in it+ slap your orb in the altar and chunkload it= infinite LP to fuel whatever you drat well please.

It recharges just as slowly as the mana staves. Except it only holds 50 instead of 250.
