    Aura and You: All About Thaumcraft 3 Aura Mechanics

    I'm trying to figure out Flux. You can't measure it directly in game, but you can read it off of the auras.dat file with a hex editor. This is very tedious to do. There isn't just one kind of Flux. There is a Flux associated with all (most?) aspects, and the Flux level we see is based off of...

    Aura and You: All About Thaumcraft 3 Aura Mechanics

    Easily tested. I found that pure nodes get 10 Vis per ore, just like normal nodes.

    I collected all of the solidly-confirmed Aura related information that I could find in this post.

    Yeah, Nuclear Reactors are my favorite machine too.

    Aura and You: All About Thaumcraft 3 Aura Mechanics

    I got tired of all of the speculation floating around the minecraft forums about Aura decided to figure it out myself. Here is what I know. I'm only going to post conclusions that I have strong evidence for. I want this to be the final word, or as close as you can get without access to the...

    Thaumcraft aura nodes

    That information is fantastic. It also explains why my node building program wasn't working. I was planting Silverwood trees on top of each other in sequence. After 5 merges, I still had a tiny node. After reading this I tried planting the trees 10 blocks from the node and got more max aura...

    7 Silverwood trees, 2 saplings

    I can also confirm that the Redpower sickle can cause Silverwood tree drops. I haven't seen any when breaking by hand or by shears, but the number of leaves I've broken by those methods is tiny. The probabilities seem to be scaled so that on average, you get less than one sapling per tree...

    How do you tame cats in Feed the Beast?

    I only tamed three. I just wanted enough to make a creeper shield around my work area. I had stacks and stacks of fish because I got suspicious after ten failures in a row and started cheating more fish in to test. Once the bug cleared, for whatever weird reason that it did, I deleted the...

    How do you tame cats in Feed the Beast?

    It just started working. Don't know why, I didn't change anything. Between my different trials, I probably gave away ten stacks with no results, but once it started working, I was taming cats with 1-4 fish on average. That's too sharp a change in behavior to be chance. Maybe I was in a...

    How do you tame cats in Feed the Beast?

    I can't find anything about this. Feeding them raw fish doesn't work. I've given away over three stacks of fish to several different ocelots, and even tried removing and reinstalling to see if that cleared the problem. Wolves don't have this issue. Is there some kind of special building we...

    Is energy from lava appropriate?

    Thank you for the response. I hadn't considered how removing the ingot-to-dust pathway might restore an element of choice to the production line. That's an interesting idea, one that I think I'll try myself. I already balance FtB to taste by simple acts of self-policing, so I'll add this to...

    Is energy from lava appropriate?

    hey King Lemming, while you're here, I'm curious about what you think of ore doubling mechanics in FtB. I love your Induction Smelter and think that the Rich Slag mechanic is fun, but it also hands down beats the Pulverizer and the Macerator when it comes to multiplication. I'm not sure if...

    How do I make Steel Block from Steel Ingots!?

    In the time that you guys spent gnashing your teeth about a mod that you installed yourself with a launcher that makes uninstalling it trivially easy, I went and made an "easy mode" version of gregtech using its unprecedentedlypowerful and user-friendly config file. Typing this post has already...

    How do I make Steel Block from Steel Ingots!?

    You are much better off just setting the config yourself. Much safer and reliable. Greg himself has a full explanation of each setting on the wiki: http://gregtech-addon.wikispaces.com/GregTech.cfg I'm not spouting rhetoric when I say it's super easy. I had no experience with Minecraft...

    Thaumcraft aura nodes

    How did you know that? I mean, you obviously just divided 1916 by 4, but how did you know that was the formula? Are you reading the decompiled code? Because if you are, I have lots of questions that you might be able to answer.

    How do I make Steel Block from Steel Ingots!?

    I don't see how Gregtech is a violation of "modders' rights" or whatever. The Gregtech development thread is on the official IndustrialCraft forum, hosted on the subsection specifically allocated to add-ons for IC. If the IC crew was opposed to add-ons, then they're doing a really bad job of...

    How do I make Steel Block from Steel Ingots!?

    He isn't changing Redpower or Buildcraft or Industrialcraft. He is creating a mod-mod that can be installed on top of that if the user so desires. This is like saying that Redpower is screwing over Notch because Redpower drastically changes the way that the game is played. When Greg hacks into...

    How do I make Steel Block from Steel Ingots!?

    Dude, it's a mod-mod. He likes IC, he just wants it to be tweaked to suit his tastes. If he took over the IC and ditched all the pre-existing work I guess you would have a point, but all he is doing is creating an optional add-on with unprecedented customizability that also happens to be...

    How do I make Steel Block from Steel Ingots!?

    It's super easy to change. Go to the recipes file under config/gregtech and look for the "storageblockcrafting" section. You can individually set the crafting recipe for each and every block. Change the flag from false to true for the ones you want and you're done. While you're at it, I...
