    I can't do this anymore.

    Some of these details are incorrect. When breeding bees, it takes one chromosome at random from each bee and one of those becomes active. It also does some cross combining at low odds which is how you can breed traits into bees without machines. So if you breed a purebred cultivated with a...

    Magic World - Thaumcraft 3: Best way to create/combine nodes

    They moved the page, it's been a while since that post. And I know what it says, I added that information there. It is absolutely a guaranteed increase, you're just doing it wrong and aren't actually reading the advice that is on that page to solve your merging problems.

    Exploit?

    I wasn't assuming that, I was assuming it was part of an IC update, when apparently it's GregTech. Oh well ;) That'll seriously nerf any scrapbox-item generators for sure!

    Skeleton and Creeper item farm

    I just stick an ender chest in the side of the drop chute bottom and set a strong wooden golem on it.

    Exploit?

    That particular exploit has long since been closed, scrapboxes don't spawn carts and helmets since about two modpack versions ago. It also no longer spawns netherrack, which was actually fueling my lava MJ power station until then. I do the same, though I simply store the planks for crafting...

    Aura and You: All About Thaumcraft 3 Aura Mechanics

    Yeah that'll work for the first tree. But after the first try the node will move till half way between its old position and the tree, which invalidates the position of the other three saplings. So you may want to babysit it and take down the other three saplings once the first grows. Killing...

    if you mean the traincraft zeppelin in the mindcrack pack, it takes coal.

    Aura and You: All About Thaumcraft 3 Aura Mechanics

    Which is done through merging. Growing a silverwood tree takes aura from the nearest node that has enough and is in its range. The amount required is 1.5 times the new aura node strength, so 75 to 150 vis required. If there isn't a node within reach to fulfil the demand, it'll fail to grow...

    Thaumcraft research boost list

    awesome. I thought a head granted cognitio, but perhaps that was the brewing stand next to my table. If you have a good bonus on an element, you can research them quite well on cursory, which saves on ingredients.

    How many electrical engines can you daisychain?

    There's no need to lug around energy cells anymore once you've got enough enderpearls to spend on a pair of energy tesseracts

    Unhinged Science - FTB Machinima and Making Of

    Yes! Thank you! Now I know it's not just me. It's so hard to get good quality manservants these days. You won't believe the trouble I have to go to just to get him to make me some pants out of a fresh cow!

    Way too much aura & flux. What do?

    Set up a wisp farm around your node and that flux turns into a resource. As for what to do with the aura: Make tons of crystal clusters Build a golem army! Play around with the Arcane Bore Build a base entirely out of warded blocks Parcour made out of levitators!

    Renaming executables in modpack updates

    Mod jar names changing is not such a big problem and not entirely under the control of the FTB people. I can automate backing up and deleting the old config, mods and coremods folders. I can't automate guessing what unnecessary executable name change they come up with this time... The only...

    Tesseracts causing FPS issues.

    FPS drops mean client side problems. If the server was swamped checking over and over then there would be server (block) lag. It could be there's a render issue when the tesseract can't deliver fluids.

    Repairing Thaumcraft wands

    Word of warning, it will drain a lot of vis to charge it.

    Shiny flying orb?

    There is no 'taint' in the area, there is a dark node. And you said they can spawn there, implying they spawn in the area similar to other mobs. This is blatantly untrue, so I corrected it. Being cryptic is fine, but at least be accurate about what you do say.

    Shiny flying orb?

    no they can't. the barrows (plains dungeons you refer to) contain a dark node which will continuously generate flux. The wisps you see there are also part of a node dumping flux, just not flux you created. Also, most wisps aren't hostile unless provoked. Only wisps spawned through certain...

    Automated Crafting in Mindcrack pack [Tutorial]

    I absolutely agree! And I have no interest programming them myself to boot ;) I have no problem with crafting systems growing as more recipes are added. As long as it doesn't cause them to slow to a crawl.
