    I have my blood altar connected to a drum via ender fluid pipes, with a lever to change flow from out to in. Remember to use the runes that make transfer faster. BTW With Thaumcraft if a essence reservoir is closest to the altar will it's contents always be used before warded jars that are...

    This should be a simple Thaumcraft question - How do I ensure that my infusion altar takes essence from an essence reservoir before it takes from warded jars - is it as simple as it will always use what is closest to the center of the altar? When I make a new base I am planning to use an...

    Ah! That would be nice too I suppose

    But storing in the AE should also make automating essentia an AE function and if you mean arcane infusion crafting automatable - that is huge and if there is a better option than the alchemical construct - total automation! Unfortunately Thaumic Energistics is not in the DW20 pack, sad

    Sorry I thought you meant something more automated - he has build this, 2 I think, in the cellar making nitor, alumentum, balance shards and void metal (I think) using the Mnemonic matrix. While I was looking around the internet I found this - http://i.imgur.com/DwTqtgt.png This looks "automated"

    So there is automated Thaumcraft alchemy! Having never progressed this far with Thaumcraft previously I am now going to need to see what I can find out about this

    Is there a better way to use the Thaumcraft essentia tank than using essentia tubes? I watched the latest DW20 episode and he was doing a lot of restricting pipe flows (or something) because apparently this block only accepts and dispenses from 1 face (I read somewhere you can change the face...

    Any more than necessary - you can set up a breeder system that breeds only when more than 8 or 10 adults, or something like that, with a botania block called 'eye of the ancients' - look at DW20 lets play S7 episode 15 if you need a walk-through. (If you don't have botania their are other ways...

    Very likely ... seems like 1 in 4 leaves, chopping is like 2 in 4 trees, but the grafters (basic and thaumic) take lots of damage each use so with the Thaumic make sure to have a charged wand or other source of vis

    Now I'm embarrassed ... that is huge.... I have been getting by with 3 pairs (4k storage + co-processors), considered upgrading each time I found it to be slow and then decided that I would do it ..later. So just to be clear, for when 'later' arrives - the more storage attached to a...

    I'm not concerned about the node being empty (or destroyed), I am considering trying to move the building and put a very large hungry node (suitably tainted and stabilised) in the new location so the plan was to remove the node then work on a plan to relocate. I guess I will have to try to...

    I have a related question - how do you move a stabilised & energised node, I tried a small one with teleposers and it was not great - taint at both ends and a bit of destruction. Can a node energiser simply be turned off?

    I will assume that if you have made a manual backup you would know how to do this and your asking about the automatic backups (name escapes me at the moment) that occur when the game says something like 'your game may lag" & then "next backup in 30 minutes" - the way I do it is to unzip and then...

    3 things - you did say in the original post "interfaces" but it is worth clarifying and you did not say your items are not crafting so I am assuming that the only issue is the visual one. Also I do not know of, or can think of any reason why, this would be a configurable option or a key bind -...

    Shift to see the 'contents' is normal behavior when the pattern in in your inventory but it should show the item to be crafted when it is in a interface.

    I can see where Phychicash is coming from, when your looking for a server "up" time is a big deal, if players on a server start playing about creating dormant RFTools dimensions and the dimensions continue to use server resources until the server is restarted it could become a huge problem. Is...

    OK maybe was a bit harsh but the word 'justify' was used and that struck a chord. To summarise reasons mods are not included - 1 Like the mod but it was not ready/stable at the time of putting mod pack together 2 Hate the mod - would never use it 3 The mod is fine but there is another mod or...

    Funny but much of what you wrote I started to write but thought I had gone on (and on) a bit already. But the way I put the roles is that Dire is there to exploit automation and Soaryn is there to break thing
