Gah...really good points on cats and dogs. How the devil do you get those things without some kind of biome conversion first?

Fortunately, quest rewards offer the witchery saplings. The other witchery plants you will need to roll the dice for though. :(

Oh, and hoard clay. You can use a Clayconia plant from Botania and sand, or just find some shallow water to get clay from. You'll need a lot of clay bottles though.

A couple of things Ive found. First, with battletowers, you can pillar up the back of them all the way to the top. Keep low and mine out the very top layer from the tower. The chest should block the guardian golem's view of you. Open the chest, loot it, and mine down your pillar. This is...

Just to add to this, I did go to the Twilight Forest this evening. Had a nice peaceful spawn in a big flat area. Right next to a hollow hill. Raided it. MUCH easier when you can fly to do that. 4 stacks of iron. 2 stacks of gold. Couple of redstone. So much STUFF. Most of it I don't know what...

Ah, that reminds me! Is there really a reason to go to the Twilight Forest? Seeing as how it's peopled by packs of insane Infernal Death Dogs and has no ore generation? I've never played through TF far before, so I've no idea if the 'loot' of the mod is competitive with the loot of the other...

Hm. Interesting notion. Does involve having taint in my lab, briefly, but that can be cleaned up in a jiff once it energizes. Food for thought, should I ever need a larger energized node than the one I have now. As for the blood moon Aurum, that's a cool idea, but now much dark etherium do...

Tainted mobs don't despawn. I've noticed this. And for some reason, tainted creepers appear to spawn in tainted areas. I'm not sure how, or from where. I know that I never had that many normal creepers ever...so they're not all just turning. It's kind of weird.

It seems like they can spawn on Tainted Soil during blood moons, but yeah...what I've found is that the swarms of tainted creepers that are constantly roaming around the loaded chunks means that even when I have dark areas of untainted land, the hostile mob cap is always reached. Blood Moons...

Doesn't HAVE to be. Start the game by breaking the grass like a crazed lawnmower. Do that and do the first HQM quests. Find either a pure node to set your base over, or an untainted beach, so you'll have grass blocks to bonemeal when you get bonemeal from quests.

Sadly, pistons can't move obsidian. Maybe a warded block of some kind? Experimentation must take place!

Hm. HMM. Obsidian room. 3x3. Hole in the top so I can throw stuff in. I wonder if there's a way to block the hole off that the node wouldn't eat. Item Grate...some kind of block on a piston... A black hole garbage disposal might be cool. Doubles as a very efficient execution chamber, once I...

lol...no no, I'd keep it in the bottle! Nothing says 'sorceror supreme' like a little bottled black hole as a conversation piece in the living room.

Hm. Well there are not one but two hungry nodes not overly far from my island. One's right off the coast in fact. Perhaps once I have the Equal Exchange focus, and a bunch of obsidian, I'll try my hand at bottling it. If nothing else it would look cool hanging over my fireplace. (^_^) (Note...

Two issues though. First, you have to get very friendly with that node to put obsidian around it. One mistake means having to Recall out before you feed it yourself. Second, you have to unjar it to energize it, and it stays hungry until the process is complete. With luck it won't absorb the...

Yeah, I use an energized node + relays to power the furnace. It was getting the stuff into it, and then back out of it, that was bumming me out sans mirrors. I had to climb down a ladder onto the furnace, toss stuff in by hand, then go down to the hungry chest I had in front of it. Now I just...

Heh, I've never used any of that, but I do like mirrors for the Infernal Furnace. I build it under the base a ways, and it's a pain climbing down to do it by hand. So there ARE Magic Mirrors. Argh...I wonder if you have to scan something in the environment to unlock it then. Something I haven't...

...and that would be the sound of my forehead hitting my palm. So many times. Thanks. :) Hm, I really think the Magic Mirror research has been disabled. I made mirrored glass, but I can't unlock Magic Mirrors. I've researched most of the core Thaumcraft, non-eldritch stuff now. Even outlier...

The EAR! Thank you! Oddly though, the recipe for mirrored glass (quicksilver + glass) is either disabled, or I'm just derping even more. I've tried it with glass block, glass pane, and a quicksilver drop and a full blob of quicksilver. Man, I hope it's not disabled. I really want some...

Hmm. Have magic mirrors and Everfull Urns been disabled in this pack? Seems like I should have unlocked them by now!
