Using the shovel to mine fibrous taint is also the way to get Tainted Shards, which are the way to get the best pre-ichor wands.

Is there a way to get additional copies of the book you get from the instructor that shows where to mine? I'm playing with a couple of newish guys and its super handy but the quest doesn't seem to be repeatable, so there's one copy to go around. I'm op so if there's a spawn command that's fine too.

Whoever decided it shouldn't have a sound effect is a villian. On the plus side, I have hundreds of copper ore after a 10 minute trip now, so that's pretty neat. The ichorium wand is straight up fantastic though, no complaints on that end. egg tats fucked around with this message at 13:34 on Sep 22, 2015 |

Yeah you have to cheat extras in. The quest that gives it to you is supposed to be repeatable but it's broken.

TheresaJayne posted:The bug is that something was interacting with the fake player, could it be that thaumium ingots generate flux and TC was trying to give the fake player some flux or aspects? I tend to lose my discoveries (the unlocked pages in book 1) and have to re-discover them often. So my guess is that's what happened, he lost the thaumium discovery and the next autocrafted thaumium ingot led to the crash as it tried to send the discovery message.

If you're standing next to someone who is using it in cube mode, you won't see the block updates and they'll appear to just walk through walls. It's poorly made in a lot of ways.

And I'm loving making Rube Goldberg esque systems with botania.

Trying to use the laser mining drill was such a bad idea. I don't have even close to enough power for this thing and now I'm out of diamonds so I can't make the arcane bore to try it out.

I keep having issues with I suspect the traveller's belt extra hot bar. Randomly while playing items in the hot bar start to disappear after a use, only to turn up in the inventory after I access another inventory like a chest. Sometimes after teleporting my worn gear will all disappear until I switch tabs between the crafting table icon and the diamond chest armor tab. Other times the hotbar inventory will be replicated in the bottom row of my inventory. I have to log out and back in before it starts working again.

For me that seemed to mostly be a problem with inv tweaks' option to use the server to help sort. Frequently the client and server would disagree on where things were, and auto sorting my inventory or a chest would reset every time I grabbed something. You can disable that in the options menu you open from an inventory screen, it may fix what you are seeing.

Tweaks sounds awesome, I always want to use the custom sorting file with its little ASCII grid, but every time it never works because of some obscure interaction with other mods that require editing the xml tree file, and that's where I draw the line.

On the topic of the thaumium ingots and ore discovery, isn't it just that the fake player is discovering thaumium? I mean, the fake player's ore discovery is separate from your own. I imagine any autocrafting that results in the creation of an ingot will trigger this.

A real beacon somewhere would be nice though, so you could dodge infusion as a gate to nether stars and (sorta) necrotic bones. Maybe in the secret portal area or something? Top of the flying city?

So this is just a thought but I think ProjectE would be a worthwhile and balanced addition to this pack, it would really give some variety of focus and complement the way in which Blightfall encourages you to look into alternative mod methods and non-standard generation, really definitely would be good for sure, no problem. 30.5 Days feel free to credit me in the next update.Magres posted:There's some nether skulls hidden in places

So it turns out cleaning any non-dirt crusted taint with the purity focus is a very Bad Idea. I've had to completely avoid attempting to clear forests or towns in fear of the massive amount of liquid Flux moving around causing the server to die a horrible, laggy death.

You can do it as long as you don't have too many ender overseers chunk loading parts of the game and set your view limit down to like 6 chunks. It's how I manage. I also do a pass through a forest and then run away for an hour because dawn totems take a crazy amount of time to break them down, but flux eventually just becomes a thin layer on the ground I can use the purity shovel to get rid of. I've spawned some truly gigantic slimes.

Bring a shovel of the purifier with you, make sure it has repair 2 on it. Right click to zap away all flux goo and gas instantly, you might need to wait for some of it to fall down after zapping the first.

Turning giant jungle trees into giant cascading fountains of purple slime in one click IS pretty satisfying. Didn't know that about the purity shovel; I'll have to carry one around with me next time I go on a clearing run.

If you chunk load the area and let a dawn totem chew on it for a while, it'll clear the underground and non-tree areas first. Then you can zoom by flying just above the ground and make one pass and it takes very little vis to actually convert all the trees into goo, you can do a massive area if you let the dawn totem clear up non-trees first. Then just run away until the goo is a small layer on the ground and most slimes have been killed due to standing on pure land or whatever, and mop up with the shovel if you feel like it.

You sure it isn't the enormous amount of taint slimes that tend to spawn in cases like this that's bringing your instance to its knees instead of liquid movement? Tap and zap with the shovel of purity quickly, before it starts spreading. That's what I do with the larger trees because manually digging out the crusted taint is painful that high in the air (it isn't instant like it would be from the ground with the angel ring). I've been doing that in the Magic Forest biome myself. Haven't dicked around with the Dawn Machine yet but that's probably what I'll use for the heavily forested areas well outside my home chunk.

It's seriously a waste of time to stand there right clicking a goo fountain as it splashes on the ground, per tree. Just do a pass through and then go do something else for a while while the problem solves itself.

If you catch a tree before it's fully enveloped you can use the free-flying logs as places to zap goo while it's still falling. Alternatively you zap, purify in a circle around the goo fountain, zap it again when enough has nearly hit the ground, repeat until it's finished. It's only a waste of time if you're just waiting.

Oooooor you've got a hasted thaumstatic harness and belt because omg why wouldn't you? If you haven't progressed at least that far, you shouldn't be clearing at all, you should be focused on teching up before you go on the offensive. It's a waste of time because most of the goo vanishes if you leave and come back later (it gets converted into slimes then despawns), it doesn't matter how fast you right click the shovel, there's no need to do it much at all except for one quick pass over the ground at the very end.

I'm stilll running into wierdness with my AE essentia powered dawn machine. Even when I confirm that it's disabled, and unpowered, the eyes continue to remain green. While deactivated, it will continue to suck essentia out of my network, and stay at 31 in the buffer. If I disconnect the network, it stays at 31. (implying the machine is off). And when I say suck, I've got import buffers keyed to each essentia on each port. Bug? Glitch? I'd hate to go back to jars, which suck, but I can't have it keep emptying my essentia for nothing.

Uh... Why did one of the nodes I transferred into my singleplayer base decide it wanted to turn tainted? I don't think there's any taint underground nearby, but I have no idea why it switched.

No luck disabling Inventory Tweaks entirely, I still get the glitches with or without a belt as well, it just seems to exacerbate the issue. Teleporting around back and forth with between my base and the dawn machines seems to be what starts it most of the time. Once it starts happening I can't do much until I relog back in. Crazy frustrating, not sure if I can finish the game now.

There is only 6 ways to deal with tainted nodes 1. punch it. 2. jar it. 3. energize it. 4. purity focus 5. dawn machine 6. use blood teleposer to get it away from your base.
