Hi im having some issue getting into thaumcraft. You need silverwood plank to make part of some important thaumcraft machine. The only way i found to get the silverwood sapling is legendary loot bag but i think its a bit too hard to get with the recent nerf on lootbag. I tested it in creative mode and i had to open 10 legendary bag to get a sapling, Maybe add silverwood sapling to a lower lootbag tier or even add a recipe for it.
And one more thing.. Are we suppose to only have one island on your map ? After looking at some of your screenshot you seem to have more island around you but i only got one on my map. I think i pick the wrong world type.
Thank again for the awesome pack.
When you started did you make it an sky island or sky Dimension + mods, the latter is what you should have done, I know I made the same mistake at the start, the sky lands will have many many islands to explore.
Hint, after the map loads quickly scout out the island you spawn on, mainly for broken water tower parts, & if your lucky a windmill or even a solar array, & if you find any buildings investigate carefully some are safe, but some have mob spawners in or under them.
Have fun its a very interesting pack.
Ouch, having just one island would up the difficulty curve quite a bit, as your progress will be limited to whatever that island starts with, and while there are ways to get resources, you tend to have to need those resources first to get more of them.
With more islands, there are Magical Forest Biomes, but they will be rare. So I will add a photogenic isolator recipe that will craft silverwood saplings. Will keep it expensive as those are supposed to be rare and difficult saplings.
Exploring will get you rewards, or in my case, a couple of ruined wooden houses and a Thaumcraft Cultist totem thingy. Still, directly below my mesa home I found a Diamond Vein, and above my mesa home an apatite vein.
In my game, finally got redstone seeds, and I discovered my two waterwheels overloaded the copper cables I was using. Now I'm in a quandry. Do I use Electrum cables, even though I don't have much silver, or go down the BC route. I also need more lava, so was thinking of going to the nether, but I need obsidian, which needs lava, and my current "free" lava generation of 25mb about every 30 seconds doesn't quite cut it.
Can't get ore seeds yet, as I need to make blocks, which needs lava...
Oh, the steel is still cooking away and I'm drowning in creosote.
Or do I just go exploring under my island, or get a BC quarry built. Choices choices. Still, got a forestry squeezer and carpenter built now too, so my progression options are expanding. Oh, plus I still want an automated tree farm, manually chopping down my farm every couple of days is getting a chore now.
I'm thinking of adding a new burnable fuel made from creosote, so at least any excess can be crafted into the fuel and burned for some RF.
