There is more going on, graphically, in the forest at most times. Huge trees that go way above anything that generates normally, and more blocks per chunk (on average). If your system can manage ATG with BoP, you won't notice performance issues in TW.

Is there any reason I shoudn't make the Twilight Forest my home base? I've only just begun properly exploring it for the first time. With Ars Magica 2 and Thaumcraft 4, the place is really fantastic for someone who is magic-focused.

Snowy biome and a clear view of the sky lets a Blizz spawn. However, you don't need them. The shards themselves are only used to make the powder. You can make the powder in a Fluid Transposer, with 1 snowball and 200mB Destabilized Redstone per Blizz Powder.

From what I can tell, having played a LOT with Extra Bees and reading over what Gendustry does, the bee breeding portions are similar. Extra Bees adds a ton of new bee species, products, and effects. Gendustry does not add new bees, but does add a self-contained automated alveary with upgrades...

The Rolling Machine has an internal buffer of 500mj. That's 5000rf, which a Redstone Energy Conduit can easily supply in one tick. Powering a Filler with Redstone Energy Cell and Redstone Energy Conduit supplies up to 1000mj per tick. That's the full output of 125 industrial steam engines (iirc...

How do you go about getting a cursed earth farm to safely produce experience when it spawns creepers?

What are folks using for XP farms these days? I'm not much a fan of MFR and would prefer an alternative to mob grinders.

OKAY! Got the same problem set up, then figured out a fix! You need an Essence Conduit. You'll want Charge Foci in the conduit to stop it from gaining Deficit. Link the Mana Battery to the Conduit, and the Conduit to the Arcane Reconstructor.

My only other thought is to pick it up and put it down. AM2 power is a bit strange. Can't have multiple nexii charging the same thing. At least, not easily. Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

Crystal Wrench to make the battery charge the arcane reconstructor? Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

I don't understand the issue with Ars Magica meteors. They are small, only at night, don't: destroy blocks, can be configured to not even break blocks, and only land on grass. As far as the planned changed, they are nothing I am interested in. I can see them being a lot of fun for some. Sent...

@Skyqula: I think our definitions of 'abit of work' are very different. A complicated multi-block machine structure, needing 14 dynamos worth of power, an intricate item routing network, and multiple mods to be able to supply the resources properly does not strike me as 'tier 2' or 'mid-game.'...

I absolutely agree that self control is key. That works great for SSP. I'll check out Witchery. Even then, all the Clay production options seem to be magical. That doesn't work for every theme

The issue with the Sludge Boiler is you have to use the MFR harvester. That's great if you're using it anyway. If not, you're either voiding a bunch of stuff or changing your build plans to use it. That's why clay as a primary product is desired. Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

It is possible to create a TE clay generator. It is also a very slow and finicky process. For the smallest TE clay generator, I need two pulverizers (one for sand, one for ingots), an induction furnace, and a cyclic assembler. At three seconds per Pulverizer operation, 25% chance of slag per...

Oh, I'm aware. With a ton of new Vanilla biomes, the mods that rely on adding one special biome that gates content are going to need a new method. The only ones I can really think of that do this are Thaumcraft and Ars Magica 2. You need a magical forest (which a few biomes count towards) for...

I loved Amidst when I used vanilla terrain gen forever ago. These days it's impossible to find or share good seeds because so many mods change biomes. Hopefully it will also get ATG support. Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

Given that you can bleed them at an altar for LP (I think anyway, honestly haven't tested it) a Dagger of Sacrifice and a Blood Altar may be the intended desummoning mechanic. Just, ya know, more evil. Then again, I fuel my blood magic by chaining villagers in a cycle of endless suffering...

It would still be nice if there were a way to produce Clay as the intended product rather than a by-product. More options in a sandbox game where you define the option set is not a bad thing.

And then, the mods that make WorldGen awesome (ATG, BoP, by their powers combined...) make finding specific biomes and biome-specific resources significantly more annoying. Not challenging, just pointlessly time-consuming. Ya can't win. Though, I hear that world gen is basically the whole point...
