Hi,
In FTB Monster, I had quite a bit of trouble finding Silverwood trees and aura nodes. Yesterday I got some logs and a single sapling that I will use to plant a tree near my base and thus get an handy aura node. But before planting the sapling, I thought about scanning it with the IC2 Scanner so I would be able to replicate it using the Replicator. Ideally, if I could get 5-6 of these and plant them, I would have a couple of aura nodes right near my base and even though there are invisible for me (even through the thaumometer), getting near the trees with my wand would recharge it. I also researched the node preserver, so I should not completely drain the nodes.
Just getting the Scanner and my first Crystal Memory took me a while, then I tried to scan a piece of amber to make sure the scanned item wouldn't disappear after being transferred on the crystal. After a while, I started to get error messages about energy loss, then the scan completed with an error.
I was powering the scanner with a Railcraft steam turbine, so maybe not enough EU's, but I cannot think of anything more powerful, except a nuclear reactor I don't want to enter in yet (seems quite hairy).
Then I found out that getting the pattern storage and replicator requires uncraftable reinforced stone (at least from NEI). I read from forum posts that reinforced stone now requires CF sprayer, canning machine and iron scaffolding. Before trying to craft all this, I would like to know if somebody already succeeded in replicating Silverwood saplings or other Taumcraft items.
Although this seems a bit crazy, I prefer this to searching other Silverwood trees, randomly right-clicking with my wand everywhere until I find an aura node by chance, or fiddle with upgrading/downgrading/reinstalling graphic driver, trying with other graphic cards I don't have and reinstalling all my OS while at it, just in case it would allow at some point to see the aura nodes!
Thanks for any help.
