    Ultimate thaumcraft Build

    I haven't yet gotten to those, but they look like fun. At the point in my game that I could really make use of them, I didn't have the available shards to make them. I am just getting into using the necromancer tablet effectively. A nice trick I found with it is you can use it to get mobs...

    Ultimate thaumcraft Build

    You don't actually need 48 different types of mana beans in a farm. You only need a few of the hard to get ones like lucrum, aurum, alienis, maybe metallum. It depends on what other methods you have for obtaining aspects. A simple tree farm along with some automated crafting, will get you a...

    Ultimate thaumcraft Build

    Well, I made the crucible of souls from thaumic exploration, but apparently wisps don't produce their corresponding essentia (or any at all). It looks like I am stuck with my golem/piston setup, or using a bellethorn from botania.. I know! I can combine a corporeal attractor from TT along with...

    Ultimate thaumcraft Build

    That is one heck of a build. I've yet to use it myself, but I what I have seen used in let's plays pales to what you have done with SFM. I think there are too many crystalizers to attach easily to a single chest. He could use a couple transvector interfaces though, but the build works. This...

    Early Botania Mana Garden

    Blocks do not prevent the flowers from sending their mana to the spreader. The flowers do not block mana bursts from the spreader either.

    Early Botania Mana Garden

    Yes, but you can't rotate the mana spreader around to power what you need when you nest the dayblooms like you indicate with this setup. There isn't room to move the mana spreader up one more level. The hydroangeas on the bottom are then out of range. If you nest, you would have to leave...

    Early Botania Mana Garden

    Ok, here is the way I set up my system early game. I built this above ground for the screen shots, but you can nest this below ground for aesthetics. Bottom layer: 3x3 infinite water pool with the corners knocked out for hydroanges to be placed later. Next, we make another pool offset by 1...

    Early Botania Mana Garden

    I have a good setup for initial mana generation. I'll throw it together when I am home and can get some screen shots. Basically, it is a 3 high stack of hydroanges (12 total), and a bunch of day blooms and nightshades to match. It all fits with one mana spreader. It uses 3x3 water pools...

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    I should mention I have only Thaumcraft, Thaumcraft addons (automagy, forbidden magic, thaumic exploration) and botania along with a few utility mods like JABBA and hopperducts, so safari nets and golden lassos aren't an option.

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    I've explored a bit of my world, and found several Eldritch Altars, but only 2 of them had cultists around them. I killed them trying to get a crimson rites book, but no luck. Do the cultists respawn? I know the knights will as long as there are some clerics left, but what if I kill all the...

    Ultimate thaumcraft Build

    That will work perfectly for me then. I have the alchemical furnace filling 2 jars of each of the 55 types (I have a few add-ons) in my infusion room, then looping through my automated alchemy workshop, then back into the infusion room to fill the tanks before being sent back to the centrifuge...

    Ultimate thaumcraft Build

    I came back to my chunk loaded base, and found the wisps were all stuck behind the altars. Since they were peaceful, my golem was ignoring them. I'm going to shut down the tablet for the time being until I get a corporeal attractor set up to keep them from getting stuck in weird places that the...

    Ultimate thaumcraft Build

    Ah, now I see it. The red ring going to the tanks. I missed that before. This might be how I accidentally ended up with a primal at the centrifuge. I've made the change to my void jars/buffers, so hopefully I won't get any more at the centrifuge. I did some testing, and the necromancer...

    Ultimate thaumcraft Build

    So you are pulling out of the void jar then in the second pic?

    Ultimate thaumcraft Build

    Ahh.. I see. You have a restriction tube on the void jar which cuts down the suction from 32 to 16. Still, there is only 1 void jar per line. This may work for what I need. It will just take a few more buffers. If I throw in these in instead of jars, in the space I have, it would give me...

    Ultimate thaumcraft Build

    Thanks, that is good to know. I was playing around with it in creative, and with a suction of 24, it would be hard to integrate well with jars. I finally found a nice place to build my new base. I have been hunting for one of the eldritch gateways that would spawn guardians. I finally found...

    Ultimate thaumcraft Build

    I'm actually toying with a few ideas. Automagy (I think) has seals that can basically create "ender" jars to share the same essentia among several locations. These have a lower suction than labeled jars. If the suction value plays nicely, I will have a labeled jar, a regular jar, and an...

    Ultimate thaumcraft Build

    Oh, I plan to, and make it better... I just need to find a new place to build a base, then it is on! :p

    Ultimate thaumcraft Build

    This has absolutely nothing to do with this thread, but so you know, it is not currently possible to make a staff of the primal with void metal caps using base thaumcraft. The best you can do is thaumium caps. It will require the use of an add-on in order to get enough vis to craft it. The...

    Ultimate thaumcraft Build

    I am very impressed then. Prior to the buffers functioning as they do in the 4.2.2.0, I didn't think it was actually possible to do this without golems. (Or a ton of redstone.) It seems that the new buffers make this very easy to do. I have it planned out to make a nice infusion room. Now, I...
