I have started into Thaumcraft alchemy, and I am trying to produce some Nitor.
First I obtained the research note for Nitor and completed the research in the research table.
After taking the completed research scroll from the table into I hotbar, I right clicked and got the research completed message.
I constructed a vanilla cauldron out of 7 iron ingots and taking my iron capped wand, right clicked the cauldron which changed it into a Thaumcraft Crucible
Then I placed a block of Netherrack and lit it with my flint and steel.
Over the flame I placed the crucible and filled it with a bucket of water.
The crucible sits directly underneath an Open Crate. A Hopper feeds into the Open Crate, and a Chest sits on top on the Hopper.
I shift clicked 3 coal and 6 torches into the chest.
After those items drop into the Crucible I shift clicked 2 Glowstone Dust into the chest.
When I take a look at the Crucible wearing my Goggles of Revealing, the aspects shown are 2 Sensus, 10 Lux, 6 Ignis, and 6 Potentia.
This makes sense (I guess) assuming that:
Coal = 2 Ignis, 2 Potentia
Torch = 1 Lux
Glowstone dust = 2 Lux, 1 Sensus
Therefore 3 x Coal + 6 x Torch + 2 x Glowstone dust =
2 Sensus, 10 Lux, 6 Ignis, and 6 Potentia.
But in the same breath it doesn't make very much sense because no Nitor is produced.
Which is the result I expected after watching some Thaumcraft 4 youtube videos.
So I clear the Crucible with my wand. but some purple liquid comes out (which I think is taint).
How do I use the Glowstone Dust catalyst without adding additional aspects into the Crucible (or do I have to consider the additional aspects when balancing my formula)?
I would appreciate any insight on what I am doing wrong...
