I just did a bit of testing (using a 9.1 world) and I must sadly conclude that the thermalily has been altered (nerfed) to impracticality. If lava is present while a lily is producing mana, that lily will not eat it and another can pick it up. However, if the lily is on its cool down cycle, it...

But it only works for nodes inside Silverwood logs. AFAIK there is NO way to get a node out of a Silverwood log without destroying said node in the process. You grow your Silverwood and, if you are lucky, there is a node in it. You can chop the tree away around it, but there the log (with...

Yes, Delgar, that ranks right up there with your little trick with Wand Focus of Equal Trade in the nether. Slick as that patch of ice in front of my cave! (that I managed NOT to slip and fall on.)

By the Great, Greasy, Grey-Green Limpopo River, that thaumcraft thing is slick as oil! The dragon was shocked, shocked, I tell you, by the amount of things he hadn't scanned. It doesn't seem to like Compartments for some reason, though.

Thank you Gentlebeings, that solved it. Now that the cave is freed from its prison (sort of), the dragon is going to relax with a hot shower and even hotter toddy!

<sigh> The dragon has somehow managed to turn off the NEI display and the "mind like a steel sieve" cannot remember how to turn it on again. The feeble attempts to search the forum have proven fruitless and the minecraft controls screen doesn't list anything for NEI (or the dragon is just too...

Coloneljjw, there are a BUNCH of hidden quests in chapter 2 that unlock other quests in the book. The second post (F.A.Q.) in this thread has a sub-topic on "upgrading from 0.7.x to 0.8.x" that has a list of items that you need to have held in your inventory to complete these hidden quests...

<sigh> The dragon admits defeat! After spending most of the morning and afternoon spelunking in the terrifying depths of minecraft server code he is out of torches and his head is hurting. The dragon is trying to build a new server with 9.1 and import the world from the current 8.4 server...

Most welcome, sir. If you are going to make a full suit of armor, you will need a bunch, but there is some debate over which is better, terrasteel, the pink stuff manasteel turns into (the name is escaping the dragons clutching claw), or thaumium. I suspect it is mostly a matter of esthetics...

From what I have seen so far, that was probably an oversight by thephoenixlodge. He usually doesn't miss much, but ... I try to get a tinker scythe for crops and a tinker lumber axe for trees as quickly as I can, that takes care of most manual harvesting needed. For automation, buildcraft...

Your progression is correct. To make the portal doesn't require a lot of terrasteel (only a couple of ingots, if the mind like a steel sieve is remembering correctly) but each ingot takes a BUNCH of mana. The portal itself is a constant drain of mana, so most of us put a bunch of stuff through...

Shhh!! I was hoping he wouldn't notice!

I suspect that this change to the mechanic is Vaskii once again saying: "I do not want anyone to set up a mana generation system that they do not have to baby-sit." It takes about 45 seconds or so for a thermalily to eat a block of lava and turn it into mana. It then starts its cool-down so...

Somewhere on your system is the log for the FTB Launcher. The tail end of that log (and possibly the entire log) should have some clues as to what glitched. I don't have the skill to fully interpret that log but I'm sure there are people here and on the FTB Launcher forum itself that do have...

I doubt it very seriously for both of your questions. I believe thephoenixlodge commented a couple of pages back that some of the the tasks within millenaire are uncompletable due to requiring world gen items and biomes that are not available in this pack.

Experimentation has confirmed: When using Snorkel and Ring of Chordata, I can remain underwater without damage until I run out of mana in the Mana Tablet. Using only the ring, I take about 1/2 heart damage when the ring refills the air supply. This is not noticeable when you are at full...

Hmm. I have noticed that just using the ring I take damage when it refills my air supply. I also just noticed that when reading the Lexica for more that a few pages response becomes slower and slower until the game ceases to respond to key/mouse clicks altogether. The only recourse is to...

Ah! I have not read the Lexica cover to cover as I perhaps should have. (This from a person who was caught reading a book in high school Trigonometry class. The book was titled Boolean Algebra and the poor teacher didn't know what to say!) I acquired the Ring of Chordata as soon as I was...

Nay, Sir, I did not know that. That may or may not be of use, depending on circumstances. Perhaps some Quality Time with my good friend Single Malt and researching the effects of potions is in order! <chuckle>

Aye, it is indeed. When I replied earlier, i was depending on my fabulous "mind like a steel sieve". I should have known better. And its companion quest reward, Brew of Vanity's Emptiness, is going to join it in the dragon's newly acquired "Things of Botania's I'm pretty sure I'm not going to...
