Don't analyze all of them, just have like a singular path and analyze the last one on it. It's guaranteed to be the best seed of the patch. Carpeting is good for early bounty but terrible to get the best mutations.

How does it know where the destination is the first time? If you're building two portals, you won't be near one of them when you first activate them. It will HAVE TO chunkload both of them at some point, even if it's only once. In that case, upon first constructing a portal it would start chunkloading and would keep doing so until the destination portal is built, at which point they could link up. You'd have to put a timer on it to prevent people from just building a single portal to chunkload, which could be exploited if it's too long and annoying if it's too short.

Oh, also, if the destination isn't loaded, you risk falling through the world.

Generally this issue is solved by not giving a poo poo about people using portals to chunkload.

Easy when you place the master block it stores its coordinate in world.nbt data, then when you dial that address from another location it knows by looking in the World.NBT data

So, every portal is a different dialing destination, not linked up in pairs? You still have the problem of teleporting into an unloaded chunk and having it fail to load.

There's no prometheum in the swamp. It's under plains- it actually says that in the quest book but if there's something we can do to make that more obvious please let me know!

EDIT: I talked to talonos & we're going to add a new custom tinker book that lists ore rarities by y-level and biome to help with this. That said when I played, I had a ton of prometheum mining under the alpha dome, to the point where I was like "lol prometheum" when I saw it.

I saw that you had already chosen one, but here's another just in case: Biosphere

Configurable spheres each with their own biomes and smaller mining spheres dotted around, all floating in the sky. I find it pretty fun for a change of pace and the transportation systems it requires.

For a challenge you can use the config to disable the walkways that automatically spawn.

does anyone have any advice or some pictures on how to build your tier 3 blood altar to get the magician's blood orb? How many runes of sacrifice/self-sacrifice would you suggest surrounding it? It's a bit frustrating they made it you can't get to the good runes until you've built that orb first which requires 25k LP when the altar can only hold 10k :argh:

I've found the FTB Blood Altar wiki extremely helpful, along with the other wikis (such as for Bound Armor). There is now a Sanguine Scientiem book from Blood Magic, depending on the version of the mod you have and if you have Guide API installed, just craft a Mail Order Catalogue and throw it on the ground, then wait.

That's what confused me for a while--I was looking under the alpha dome where I started because the book said it was in grasslands, and the biome there is "MSGrasslands". Never found any until I scouted the marble pillars in the Plains and looked there :shrug:

Am I supposed to get to these jars and stuff first or something before I can produce them? netherwart, milk and tainted junk in to meet the essentia requires just makes all the smoke, goo and all that while eating my shimmerleaf thing.

Err, you couldn't find promethum under the Alpha dome? It should be pretty common there... Maybe you were digging at the wrong y-level.

Yeah if you want to make ethereal blooms you really need to research advanced alchemy and get the alchemical construct up and running.

Edit: to clarify, in singleplayer.

If you're okay with using creative to do it, look for a mod called "Biome Wands". It automatically picks up any biomes added by other mods and adds a separate wand in its creative team for each.

Button pushed. I have to say that you might end up by the royal Beta Tester. I tried out most things, but there are still some risk of loose ends screwing up. Right now, I'm trying to verify the deployment. Technic ignored it, despite restarting the launcher.

Edit: Specifically, you should see a version 1.4.0.0. If you are seeing 1.3.0.1, that's now stale. I'm not seeing it in the launcher yet, so I'll just give it a little time.

Playing agrarian craft with a few friends. We didn't get any chickens from our eggs and still working on getting eggs from bees. Any way to get humanus/mortuus/spiritus scanned with thaumcraft without using a research table? So frustrating not being able to progress, since we split the mods up a bit between us. Heard that something in the farming quest was supposed to give chicken spawner eggs, but I don't want to do all the quests for my friend who is taking care of the farming, anyone know exactly what the reqs for that quest it?

The only route I know of that doesn't require a research table involves scanning fibrous taint to get the life aspect, then working up from there as normal. Though mortuus is a problem as well. Unless there's some cool mod item that has mortuus, you have to make it in the research table, because IIRC every vanilla and TC4 item/mob that has mortuus also has some other compound aspect that requires mortuus. I guess you could always get lucky and find a mortuus node. It's not like scanning will do you any good without a research table to develop theories with, though.

Are you sure you're playing Agrarian Skies? It sounds more like you're playing Regrowth. In Regrowth, you have to get an elven portal from Botania before you can progress in Thaumcraft.

In AS1 you can make chicken spawners from arrows in the alchemic chemistry set. Each one is 200 LP, or one heart of damage from you. Make one and autospawn it, or chug a regent potion and hurt yourself for a shitload of LP.

I seem to remember them being a quest reward.

Mariculture is pretty peripheral (you need titanium, but you don't need mariculture to get it beyond maybe the anvil for hammered sheets), but Witchery seems to be the most developed questline. At the very least you need it to get to Thaumcraft.

Actually speaking of Regrowth, how much is there to the Mariculture/bees questline? I have four mariculture quests done and no more seem to be unlocking. Bees only has the quest to make apiarists garments or whatever they're called left, and I can't be bothered if it doesn't unlock anything interesting.

Project E Nova Catalyst and some Mekanism Obsidian TNT, using EMC from our socialist resources. We can rebuild, nothing was lost that can't be re-made (it was made once, after all ;)), but annoying to re-do what was already done.

I had done a test with all the modifications on my local filesystem, but I could not do a final test last night since Technic wasn't showing it right away. So I guess I'll be finally doing that now, and I'll see what it's mad about.

Update: Yeap looks like I neglected to include the latest Forge JAR in the bin folder. It was in the staging area but not in deployment. I would have caught it earlier if I could have gotten it to do a dry run. It was very peculiar that I couldn't. I am uploading the new one as 1.4.0.1.

Yep, I found that out from Googling, sorry I forgot to edit. I was ignoring tab 5 because as I've mentioned I rather dislike Mariculture :v:

Actually, besides Mariculture and TiCon (and vanilla, natch), what else for smelting does Regrowth come with? Doubling doesn't matter I suppose since once you get one 10/10/10 seed you have effectively infinite of that resource.
