The HQM book mentions that I'm supposed to get a book from making Seared Bricks, but that doesn't seem to happen. Has anyone else had that happen?

I'm nearing the end of the thaumcraft tech tree and finally trying to get an ME network up but I've never done that mod before so it's slow going. I only have four diamonds and is there a way to get a crusher for silicon besides hoping for it in a machine bag? Rubber is such a bitch to get but I haven't found a tree anywhere so in stuck farming bitumen.

So, I used a stone gun, and I can kill a tainted guard with 6 stone bullets. VERY VERY EFFECTIVE FOR THE COST! I'm gonna make a mob drop just for collecting gunpowder for bullets now. Edit: if you have access to botanica mana, you should be making manasteel endcaps for your wands and staffs. It's just as effective as thaumium for significantly less cost.

You either leave it as-is or use flowing water/conveyor belts in trenches to push them into the center, which is an open drop designed to kill everything. Then you get free monster loot!

Holy cow, I did a little digging in the Thaumic Tinkerer config and TTKAMI is enabled. Which is, uh, crazy. TTKAMI is a section of Thaumic Tinkerer that adds some really, really endgame level gear (it all takes multiple nether stars, per piece of gear, to make) and more or less gives you godmode. In particular, the Kami wand gets like 75% vis cost and holds 1000 vis of every aspect (not a typo, there are supposed to be three zeroes) and the pick lets you get into a dimension it adds that has veins of ores from y=256 to y=0 that are roughly a 5x5 of an ore type, all the way down. Ciaphas posted:yaaayyyy, I made my first ethereal blooms Plunk em down on soul sand and wait. You can get tons of soul sand on the surface near the waypoint of the nether-y island though, I have nearly 200 nether wart plants in a big farm just outside my biodome. Once you get like 10-20 ethereal blooms (do the bloom quest for the paranormalist if you haven't) then you can clear huge amounts of space and actually have enough room for nice things like a huge wheat farm (for rep) and a nether wart farm and a tree farm.

Well, going to the first ore "cache" and realizing a) it's a mineshaft and b) there's like one nickel/ferrous in there makes me sad. I'm out of invar and I can't make an induction smelter (and thereby take apart the ticon smeltery forever) without it.

If you get into Blood Magic and clean up the Obsidian Tower island, the interior of the thing is a giant setup for a Well of Suffering and you can use that to power a Lava Tablet that you can use to spam lava source blocks to power the lava flowers Also Endoflames really aren't that bad to deal with, in FTB Botania I had enough of them that I could throw two stacks of coal at and they'd eat all the coal before they disappeared, and made like a ton of mana from it.

Is there much rhyme or reason to where I can find TC shards? I'm chronically short on aer and ordo to make balanced shards and primal charms with. Also, does the game give any hints on finding a skystone? It just kinda says "go find some and we'll give you presses" far as I can tell

Iirc most shards are found 20-40 but Earth are found mostly 10-30 and Aer are found mostly 30-50 E: Yeah, those heights. So dig at 30-40 to find Aer and Ordo Also for Skystone if you look at the map you can see them, they look like spots where a meteor smashed down. If you want something more specific, there's one on the Eerie Island in the Southwest

I'm out of invar and I can't make an induction smelter (and thereby take apart the ticon smeltery forever) without it. Out of ferrous? Pulverize iron ore! It's not that expensive to build a pulverizer. The 8 copper is the biggest problem, really. It's totally worth it since that makes invar trivial and gives you a reason to make a silk touch pick. The induction smelter is really cheap once you have a pulverizer too, since it costs invar instead of copper.

Mkay! My infusion altar, with the osmotic enchanter on the far side in the back. I like how the infusion altar frames the osmotic enchanter when you come in  My dome, from one side. Down front are my wheat fields, which make grinding rep through bread trivial. I keep food trees up on top of the dome where they'll be safe, and had half of it devoted to wood trees until...  I cleared enough space for a (huge) Nether Wart farm and space for wood tree farm.  My map so far! Right now I'm working on getting Botania up and running, which, at this point, means raiding the sky islands, so I'm gonna make an airship and engage in some sky piracy and get me some flowers! Then I'm gonna make a nice mana farm, some euclidaisies, get an actual supply of Auram, and boot up a Dawn Machine to feed Auram to for cleaning up nodes and retake the planet, nodes and all. Dear god though, the Dawn Machine is reaaally hard to make. Takes Signalum and Lumium, which aren't exactly easy to make. I think I'm gonna go for half a dozen Totems of the Dawn first, clean out some of the tech metal ore caches with a souped up Pick of the Core, and then get to work on the industrial base I'll need to make the Dawn Machine.

^^^ I'll post some pictures tomorrow, been playing basically since I woke up and it is way past the point to stop   thaumostatic harness, you are mine now despite loving up the infusion once and having to start all over it is time to fly very slowly in the horizontal direction (i could make the belt I guess but i had enough instability problems with "high" that "very high" would probably never work)

Actually, first time I make an Osmotic Enchanter in my first time through Thaumcraft, me and my friend had an Infusion Site ~1000 blocks from home because we were scared of taint (we used the Nether to get back and forth) and wound up doing the drat ritual overnight in the mdidle of a rainstorm. It finished right as the sun came up too, it was awesomely thematic because he and I were yelling at other over Skype because everything went wrong in that goddamned ritual (because we had no stabilizers) and we just barely made it. Even with double and triple backups of our materials and waaaay more essentia than we needed, we just barely made it. Reason posted:I really like the dirt on top of the dome, what a neat idea.

I have five seeds that I found in, I think, the chest on the obsidian tile altar between the summit and late warp points. Obviously you'll need some sort of growth enhancing item to deal with their growth rate, or lack therof.

Yeah, it's one of the ones on the mountain range, I think you have the location right. For growth, plant them on end stone, they grow at an actual semi-sane pace on that instead of "takes literal weeks" you get on dirt.

I'll post a couple pics also. The front of my dome with my house, Thaumcraft tower and chicken coop.  The back. I started doing the Botania stuff on the bottom right over there. I just set up the stuff I found at a couple of the secrets to start getting the mana pool filling up because that poo poo takes forever with dayblooms and I haven't found flowers to make anything else yet.  The inside of the dome is really starting to get crowded. I've also got a few animals I'm keeping inside from the egg bags, two horses, a cat and a sheep. I had a villager but he escaped and became tainted.

Man, Blightfall reminds me of how much I want to love Thaumcraft, and how much I hate certain aspects of that. And I mean Aspects both literally and figuratively. I just want a magictech mod where I have glowing magic lasers from a few stabilized tears in reality feeding my gear and ore processing and harvesting equipment. Which I get with Thaumcraft, but I also get so much more cruft.
