Well the nucis trees ended up being a great source of platinum for what i needed. I did eventually get to miner's delight^4 and found the chest with the dense shiny ore as well, so I guess I'll never have to do that particular tree farm again. Mob farm is working great and now I can make powered spawners to put them wherever I want.
I haven't had very good luck with the (xxxx frequency) blocks and chisel. Most I tried would not convert to anything so I just stuck them in the decomposer to get what I could out of them. I must have found an early source of magnesium because I never needed to do any decomposing for it. There is another sapling that you can grow for it that I found in the inclusion chamber^4 though.
My biggest help with the mobs so far is my crossbow. I used a cleaver for a long time until it bugged out and I can't upgrade the sharpness anymore. The difference after making a good crossbow is extreme. I can now one shot enemies over 20 blocks away, and due to the crazy mod config the weapon (and ammo) just keeps leveling up. So I can add more haste and sharpness where appropriate. Right now my cobalt limb crossbow has a draw speed of .25 seconds(570 redstone) and 115 damage. I'm pretty sure this isn't even maxed out yet.
It's pretty daunting looking at my wool progression and realize I'm only halfway through the areas in this pack, but at the same time I like that there is an indicator like that. I'm having a bunch of fun. Thanks for the help.
