Wow, that sounds quite ridiculous. Well, nuts to that armor then... This isn't the first time I've stumbled upon TiCon issues. Thanks for a quick answer, anyway.I have encountered this as well. There seems to be a disagreement between the armor pre and post putting it in the table. Basically a piece of travellers armor pulled from the table has different values than the game is looking for. It is a compatibility issue between ProjectE and Tinkers' Construct. The only thing you can do is start a new world and never put (or at least dont pull out) tinkers' armor in the table.
@Mapmaker. Other encountered weirdnesses:
1) Emerald taken from Transmutation Table appears to be a ghost item. It doesn't stack, it doesn't give EMC back if returned into the table, it DOES suck out the EMC to give you one, though. I've lost like a hundred thousand EMC before I figured it's a bug.
2) Thermal Expansion machines quests seem somewhat broken. The very first one said I already crafted Pulverizer< although I never did before unlocking that quest. Crafting it registered as crafting a Redstone Furnace, and crafting Redstone Furnace registered as crafting an Induction Smelter. And that was it done. Than in the next one out of 5 machines 4 were "done" and I only had to craft the last one, Energetic Infuser (good thing I needed it anyway ). I can't remember what were the others and I can't check now because world's not loading.
3) The pumpkin in the major's tower cellar was not recognized for the quest. I'm guessing it's that stray one of those Mr. MyGoodLooks pointed out.
A very nice map otherwise, keep it up
