Also, are there going to be quests in a later update for blood magic and mekanism?

I personally feel that the gating of mods and resources is almost perfect. The only thing I would change is buildcraft, but that's just because it's my least favorite tech mod. 
I am having a problem for some reason i cant plant the dye seeds. Does anyone know how to fix it?
The dye seeds and i think all the magical crops need to be planted on Tilled Garden soil.
Well I'm 100% sure dye seeds can be planted on tilled garden soil as I just did it.
I like the bloomery and wrought iron idea. Titanium feels out of place. Keep in mind it may also affect the Tinker's Construct pick progression. (I know, teach my grandmother to suck eggs... )
It took me awhile of testing until I finally figured out how to make it work myself. The arbor has to be piped into the bottom of the reformer. You can either put one warded jar directly underneath and just replace when it runs out or use essentia pipes (what I did) to make the connection.I am stumped. What am I missing?
Energized node right next to ATR with 4 terra vis. Arbor essentia in warded jars. Jungle focus needs arbor, Thaumonomicon says. I put down some relays and vis flows to and through them just fine but see no indication the ATR is doing anything. No essentia burn,
Another shot:
I tried applying a redstone signal to ATR (though no mention it needs one) and that made no difference.
Book says 4 vis and 4 essentia per coord changed. No sign any has changed and still have all the essentia (64+64+19).
Also, just an FYI as to how it works. As it says in the book, it does have a radius of 16 blocks, however, what it doesn't mention, is that it chooses a random block to change each time it does its work. It also does work in a square shape (and not a circle like how witchery's circle magic would do it). Just be aware that to do the entire size it is capable of, you will need a LOT more warded jars that what you have there. I believe 16 full jars will do it if my math is correct.
My last point of advice, give it plenty of time to work, its not super quick at it and you can see it work while its doing it. I would also recommend closing the world and reloading when it is done as well. When it finished for me some blocks still showed wasteland so I thought it wasn't done so kept feeding it more arbor, but once I relogged it was perfect. Although, because of this mistake of feeding it more arbor than it needed, I learned that it will keep accepting arbor even when it has nothing to do and when you break it you lose all of that, so you want to be careful to not give it more than it needs.
If you want to make life easier, and not have to lug the warded jars back and forth, you can always connect a couple of pipes to the reformer and then put an essentia pump to the end, and an essentia mirror close by that it can pull from and then the mirror's pair near a warded jar of arbor at your alembic and it'll grab from it constantly. Just be careful of giving it more than it needs like i did
Hope this helps!
Has anyone else had any experience with enhanced inventories chest with hopper? I made an iron hopper chest with white wool and birch planks and pipped it on top of my crucible to queue many ores, and crashed. Luckily I came back and could still enter the world. Chest was gone, but honestly, I count that as a bonus. I don't want no world crashing chests.
Edit: while on the topic of my crucible setup, does anyone know of a way that I can make something that I can input anything, and it will automatically craft in a chest recipe shape? I'm thinking essence to ores here. I'm unfamiliar with botania auto crafting, but I think that's the trick.

That should help! Thanks. I know I don't have the essentia there for a complete reform, but was trying to prove concept before I invested a lot. The 16x16 I understood, though I wish it just worked in a single chunk as Silverwood pure nodes do, would make things a bit easier (though more blocky!) I think I like the random point thing. I think. Once wasteland is dead and gone from an area, a little blending at the edges might be nicer than a sharp line like pure nodes do. (So I half like and half dislike pure node logic...)
I will probably work out a system where I load 16 jars and let them empty, then consider a square done and move to next.
I've said several times that I want to be able to try out basic stuff of TC, like research, so that I can at least see what that is going to look like. Without needing insanely complicated stuff to make a basic table. You could probably change the iron-capped wand recipe to use dreamwood for example, there's your Alfheim connection. Where did I say anything about golems? By the time you get to TC you probably don't need to automate them, I myself have so many resources that I can delete all my farms altogether (and I'm still making the table).
That's not the point though. The point is that the way you currently connected TC with Botania and Witchery does not allow a lot of freedom. You could make TC more standalone, so that we don't have to go back to other mods and do their end-game stuff that we don't need at that point. If you want their end-game to be done, you could implement it without making it a hard requirement for the other mods, or make sure that by the time we get to TC we already have all the other end-game available. To make the TC table you need an Alfheim portal, an agglomeration plate, and several witchery structures. All of which have a great creative potential, that goes wasted by the clusterfuck of certain recipes.
I don't know what you enjoy, but I don't want just different recipes (although granted, the progression here is mostly great). After so many modpacks, building the same square base with random machinery build all over the place gets tiring, and that is what some of your recipes are encouraging. I'm watching some let's plays, and it's the same "base" everyone did in Crash Landing or Agrarian Skies or whatever (I made the same base several times). You can encourage more interesting gameplay instead, through the quests and recipes. A more natural progression could be more fun, where you don't suddenly have to build a bunch of complicated stuff. For example, do all the seeds have to be made the same way? If you split them so that each tier is made in a different mod, we can concentrate on one mod at a time, build them up as much as we need or want, and then move to the next tier. Problem solved, everyone can build or not build, and enjoy each mod as much as they want.
I like the wrought iron fences, and it would be nice to have a dedicated structure to make them. That would fit in nicely in a smithing area. I'd be careful with the Forestry though, it was a bit unintuitive to figure out. If getting cosmetics is too daunting, it will again encourage skipping it and going back to the square base.
A question. Hopefully a simple one, but a question nonetheless:
Why are my crops just popping off every now and again? Kind of really annoying, almost lost my upgraded wheat seeds and lost a third of my basic sugarcane farm from this.
(I'm assuming this is AgriCraft's doing, but the config doesn't seem to show any kind of thing relating to crops just popping off their sticks)

I agree with you, I'd love to have more fine control over the exact size. You probably will get the "blocky at the edge of the 16x16. I know for me, the last couple of rows changed colors in a kind of gradient so it tried to blend but isn't 100% perfect. What I did was just make a large greenhouse and outside of the greenhouse was cracked sand, so between that and the walls of the greenhouse you can't see any kind of sudden change in the ground so its not too bad. Although it is pretty funny when it rains
Just that area is getting rained on and the rest isn't. Although its not as funny as the rain in the size of a silverwood tree node magical forest lolGlad to hear it! I wish the documentation on the thaumonomacon (I can never spell that!) actually gave you more details. It is pretty cool watching it work though! I'll definitely be using it again in the future.
