This is a really nice modpack, I love the fact that it's not HQM so that I do not feel forced to go down a certain route, and the mod choices is nice too (quite a few interesting mods I haven't played before).
However, I encountered a problem with the progression system, though seeing how everyone managed to progress easily, it's probably a bug or me being noobish:
1) I can't craft mana spreaders without gold, which is found in the erebus , and as far as I know I need botania to get in there. (this is probably me being noobish)
2) After I created a pure daisy (no problems with that) I tried to craft a mana pool, but the recipe output just doesn't show up (aka I can't craft it). Then I noticed I can't put any more water in the petal apothecary.
