Nei shows it as being blood or liquid emerald, but I would say try throwing some ender pearls into the smeltery.

This sounds like a pretty cool idea, think I'm going to give it a shot. Edit: Ars Magica's mage armor boots have slowfall as a contingency, although there is a cool down period. Up to a certain height slowfall won't trigger, and the boots will simply negate fall damage. That might be tied to...

I could see the plants that produce ink sacs being useful as an alternative to a mfr squidfarm. No more squid hunting for thaumcraft research, ars magica 2 spell writing and mystcraft books.

The issue GPuzzle is referring to is more related to compact solars and the way it went about reducing overhead. Instead of a steady 8 eu/t it produced 32 eu every fourth tick. So if you used two of them, it would put 64 eu down the line at one go. That has more to do with compact solars...

Magic Mods are great, until something crashes and then you are back at square one in terms of research or levels.

In thaumcraft 4, what do unstable nodes do?

In newer versions it seems to me like it's faster, so this might be solved eventually.

Railcraft's blast furnace has the opposite of the nugget problem. In order to produce enough blocks to build it, you use recipes that always leave you with two blocks extra.

The AT launcher has a few 1.6.4 modpacks. Resonant Rise immedietly comes to mind although it's still in beta so things are being added/removed/broken/fixed on a fairly regular basis.

One small point about heat generators, their output can be increased by surrounding them with lava. To get the most out of a single heat gen, you'll want lava below it, on the three sides the cable isn't connected to, and one on top of it.

Crystal Clusters do this as well.

I kind of wish there was a little more information available about the different types of nodes. Since taint was reintroduced I'd like to know if there are certain types of nodes that will contribute to taint creation or spread.

I see, I might have to fire up 1.6 to see if that behavior has changed since I don't know what to look for in the change logs.

Engines *can* explode, but it's easily avoidable since even the most basic gate has the power requested condition. If the power grid is saturated, the engines shut off. Still trying to figure out how to set up the proper conditions to prevent combustion engines from exploding. Edit Again...

Their output can be bumped up a bit by surrounding them with lava source blocks (one below, one on the same level as the generator in the cardinal directions and one on top. I didn't test the diagonal.)
