something I would dearly love to see - A machine that scans any items I put into it and then dumps all the research points into a "buffer" which I can then clear out, I hate having to take everything out one by one and throw it on the floor to scan it, it's possibly the most tedious part of Thaumcraft. An "Advanced Deconstruction Table" with a slot for every type of primal and the ability to let them stack would be great too, so that I don't have to stand around and clear out the table every single time it spits out a research point.
And something else that I suggested elsewhere but seems to have been lost in the clutter: An Arcane Workbench that works like the Machinist's Workbench from Thermal Expansion (i.e. you set the recipe in the grid and then you put the materials in the chest slots below and can craft a bunch at once) given that this is already built to work with TE it'd be easiest to make the "Technomancer's Workbench" require the Machinist's Workbench as a base item.
(I hope you don't mind, but I'm going to keep going!)
Vis Capacitor - Works like the "flux capacitors" from TE except it stores a single type of Vis instead, you could activate it in your hot bar to charge that particular aspect in your wand or perhaps have multiple slots in the "Technomancer's Workbench" (six of them to be precise) so that you could charge and put the Capacitors in it and use them as you would a wand for crafting.
Now, here's an interesting thought, we have lots of wand cores that store a lot of vis, and lots of wand cores that store only a little, and several that regen, but what about a wand core that doesn't actually store any and instead pulls the Vis from somewhere Else?
Bear with me here, this idea is in it's infancy, so it may come across as all that much gibberish. What about a Tesseract Core? You make a "Vis Tesseract" that transports Vis from one point (like say an Flux Wand Charger [runs on flux, pulls vis out of nodes, stores it in internal buffers]) to another (like say a Technomancer's Workbench with six different vis capacitors to store all that lovely vis for later use). So you make the "Vis Tesseract" and it's GUI has six slots that you can place Vis Capacitors in, and they get filled first but they also get drained first if the other end needs Vis. Then you create a "Tesseract Core" from a couple of Vis Tesseracts, and cap it with caps of your choice (like say, Fluxed Electrum Caps [what do they do? I don't know! I just know they should do SOMETHING!]). Draining a node would send the Vis back to the tesseract, and attempting to use Vis for anything would draw directly from the tesseract. This would give a truly modular wand as you could have tiers of "Vis Capacitor" starting off with the smallest holding, maybe the same amount as a Silverwood wand, and the largest holding, I dunno, a Million (I can't see why you would EVER need one million vis, but hey, maybe you want to make 10000 deconstruction tables in your Technomancer's Workbench).
Thaumic Strongbox - An Upgrade to the Resonant Strongbox that holds 108 items/stacks (9 rows of 12), this would make the Strong Boxes better than the Iron Chests mod as you would have all the storage capacity and the ability to pick it up and carry it around.
Wand Focus: Short Circuit (Reverse the polarity!) - Empties a target machine of all Redstone flux, including things such as Power Armor, rendering them inert until the machine is picked up and placed again. (uses Aqua! Because throwing water on a machine is a pretty good guarantee that it's going to stop working)
Wand Focus: Flux (Fire all Phasers! Er.... Fluxers!) - Shoots beams of raw Flux energy at the target, Machines (including Powered Armor!) gain a nice charge, but creatures (unless they happen to be wearing said armor!) get a nasty shock! (and possibly lit on fire). Does no environmental damage. (Uses Ordo and Ignis, because all conduits have Potentia, so somehow that must be involved!)
Anyway, that's what I've got for now, feel free to use it, or to ignore me, or anywhere in between. I'm loving the mod so far, so keep up the good work!
