Around 50 blocks away, there's one. Come to think of it, I may have always planted them sort of near existing nodes without really thinking about it. Is that really a requirement and I never noticed before?
Silverwoods just take EXTREMELY long to grow. I recommend getting a hoe of growth with a Repair enchant of whatever level (think the max is 2, but 1 is fine) and using that to force the sapling to grow.
 
How do you make wrought iron? Seems there's 0 documentation on the bloomery, made one painstakingly and now it won't make the only item it seems to be designed for.

It's a new addition to garden stuff, can you post exactly what you're doing so we can try to figure out if bug or user error?

Are you on a server (like DeVco)?
 
Around 50 blocks away, there's one. Come to think of it, I may have always planted them sort of near existing nodes without really thinking about it. Is that really a requirement and I never noticed before?

It used to be a thing - I can't find any documentation about it now, though. I planted mine nearish (within 20 blocks at most) to a node by my base out of habit and they've grown fairly quickly

at appeng.integration.modules.NEIHelpers.NEIInscriberRecipeHandler.loadCraftingRecipes(NEIInscriberRecipeHandler.java:98)
This looks like the inscriber recipe crash. This eventually won't be an issue due to how thephoenixlodge will be handling custom inscriber recipes in 0.8, but until then check the faq in the second post on this thread for current fixes.
 
So I have a problem I've never run into before -- my Silverwood sapling isn't growing. There's nothing above it. It's on grass. It won't take bonemeal or magic fertilizer (which at least is probably normal but this pack changes stuff so I tried it anyway.) There's a fair amount of room around it. Any ideas? In previous games, I've just planted them and they grew, no trouble, but I almost always settle in Plains or Meadows.

What TFA said, use a hoe of growth to make sure it can grow there. If that doesn't work, pics plox?
 
So funny thing.... I walk outside and neither sapling has grown, neither the one near my Witchery area which I've been watching for game days and game days, nor the newer one I planted nearer to the node that's within my walls. So I cheat in a Hoe of Growth (not that far on research yet), figuring I can destroy the tree and hoe afterwards if it works... then I look over at my Witchery area again and the first tree FINALLY grew just right then. So I guess the randomizer just wasn't liking me for a while there. I've never had it take half that long before. Thanks for the advice everyone.

so I'm making the mutantis extremis... and tossed everything in the caldron and it's bubbling and stuff, but It's not coming out. Is the alter a multiblock structure? How do I know what the power level of it is? I am getting very lost in the witchery books they leave me more confused than before I read them, they also give me headaches for some reason... I have a feeling it's the font... I've googled around but my internets are so bad at the moment that it takes 5-10 minutes to load pages and I can't watch any youtube videos like I usually do :C
 
The altar consists of 6 blocks in a 2x3 rectangle. You'll know you have it right when a red 'cloth' appears over it. To check the power level, click on it with an open hand. If you don't have enough power, plant stuff around it. (About a 16 block radius is what it 'draws power from') There's a list on the first page of this thread that lets you know what plants are viewed as 'the same' for calculating the power, since there's a cap on how many blocks of each 'type' it recognizes. I basically started out by planting one tree from each grouping, and then a metric ton of flowers. (Glint Weed is very handy for this, since it spreads on grass/dirt.) If you're still short, drop some Spanish Moss on the trees, and wait for it to spread as well.
 
Also handy is that things can be below the altar. I buried the limit of 20 pumpkins and 20 melons in a circle around my altar and it was a nice little boost. I've heard of folks building flower rooms underneath but I haven't needed to take it that far yet.
 
Heh. I tried putting my mushroom and netherwart farms under mine - but then I realized I needed more room up top for circles 'n' stuff.

gods thank you. I had a feeling it was a multi structure block since the recipe made 3... but the quest book called for 2 blocks being made... I saw that list earlier. but was hoping the mod had added something to tell me it's power level....

OH well Mutantis extremis made for now. I'll have to put the alter in the "pasture of nature" I was planning on making just to make sure I have every plant and animal in a safe place... Should I contain the witchery plants? will they spread and overtake other plants or all grass in the area?
 
The only Witchery plant that spreads obnoxiously (IMHO) is the Spanish Moss, which will grow up any tree you put it on. The sick twisted part of me wants to plant some on the Natura Redwood and see how that goes. :D Glint Weed will spread randomly, without either filling in an area or destroying other planted things. As a personal precaution, I avoid planting Ember Moss unless I absolutely need more (Mutandis grinding has actually kept me decently supplied.), and then I shear it all up once I have just a bit more than I need.

The power level is pretty clear - like I said, just click on it with an empty hand. It'll tell you the maximum power level, and whether the altar is fully charged.
 
Heh. I tried putting my mushroom and netherwart farms under mine - but then I realized I needed more room up top for circles 'n' stuff.
Wait, you're saying plants in agricraft crops work for you?
Because for me they don't. I originally had my altar in the middle of my farms between my mushrooms and my barley and ended up with 5 power from a random piece of grass somewhere.
Spanish moss also grows on walls. But it won't spread farther than one block apart horizontally of where it was planted. It has no limit on the vertical plane though.

Interesting. Crops work for me as well. However, you said shrooms and barley? It's possible neither of those work, have you tried basic wheat or any of the witchery crops?
