I'm gone through a few regrowth worlds since I had first started playing the modpack. All the other worlds I stuck to the quests and grinding out the maxed out seeds. This time I decided to play it only a little differently. I was doing quests to start. To help get my materials and infrastructure going though. As it progressed though I started doing more and more without always referring to the quest book for the next project. I have built three bases this time. Instead of the usual one I build and use the entire play through. I usually get to the Nether line of quests before taking a break from minecraft for awhile. I am again about up to the same point in the modpack.
Anyways, I was wanting to automate my farm. I had read on here of at least three different ways of doing it. I decided to go the forestry multi-farm route. When I decided this, if I remember acurately, I was nearing the end of the second tier of seed quests. I hadn't made any machine. I was as far as the tinkers' smeltery as far as machine infrastructure went. I finally finished the farm just a little bit before crafting my first diamond from essences. I know it may be awhile though before I can put the thing on full auto.
I forgot when I started the project to check on everything it would need to finish and use it. I had read it was doable and was going by that. Didn't even think of the fertilizer until I had the thing put together. Looked it up and found that the easiest method I had to get it were through mining the nether. I haven't even mined anything in the nether yet on this world. I set up the base on the nether side of the portal. Making it safe. Then had never been back since. Finally got the material needed for the fertilizer and crafted it. Turned on the farm and every thing was working great. I had made a few more mistakes while putting the thing together. Mostly minor stuff though. Still feeling a little embarrassed that I used up five stacks of tin making the electron tubes for the farm blocks.
Actually that is the reason I am posting this. If you ever feel you have made a horribly embarrassing mistake in minecraft just remember that there is someone with more then 3 extra stacks electron tubes out there.
The math always gets me in the end.

I may have missed the fix of this issue and the only thing I can find else where is that it is a mod conflict but what mod, it does not say
https://www.reddit.com/r/botania/comments/3hk7sh/the_progress_bar_does_not_appear_when_i_hold_the/ . In short the issue is with the progress indicator for botania. When crafting an item that requires mana infusing the progress indicator is not showing correctly. The items icon shows, but the cicular background with the progress indicator is not rendering at all.
Any ideas as to what mod could be causing this or a fix?
Not a clue. Did notice something similar though. Just didn't think much of it. The Circle was gone. Yet i could still kinda see it as the seed would change color. Like there was a circle there. I just wasn't seeing it the actual circle. The circle was there for certain crafts though. I just didn't note which ones were which. I hadn't really though it might be a bug or anything.
