    Aura and You: All About Thaumcraft 3 Aura Mechanics

    Remaker's research shows that smaller (max vis) nodes will not help out larger (max vis) nodes. However, from my own testing, my 300/300 node sent Vis to a depleted 100/600 node. Can anyone else help test to see which behaviour is correct? I would expect to work this way, as it would "maintain...

    Ender Pearl farm not working?

    I was going to use this method of power generation, until I found it doesn't work for me :/ In any case, I realized cows generate more methane than zombies (hear hear!). They drop more beef than rotten flesh and only need 12 to centrifuge. Score! On the other hand, you don't get iron though...

I'm on the Mindcrack pack v7 (SMP), and my spawner chunk is definitely loaded, and yet my creepers will always despawn when no one's around. Easy enough to see by logging out right in front of it and logging back in; also...

    Ender Pearl farm not working?

    Are soul shard spawners supposed to work without the presence of a player? As far as I know, mobs immediately despawn when a player isn't within 128 blocks- and soul shard spawned mobs seem to behave this way as well. My creeper soul shard spawner doesn't spawn anything when I'm not around (and...

    Fastest Way to Remove 254,016 Water Source Blocks?

    My favourite method would be to use turtles. I had this problem even with in-land quarries from all the random water source blocks/ponds, so I wrote a program for my turtle (or several) to move through the entire area. Turtles ignore liquid source blocks and destroy them when they move into them.
