I built an essentia storage unit and I'm at a loss as to how to empty warded jars into it. Anyone know how?
essentia terminal is the bit u want (i think u need to do a research for it ) when u craft and place on the network it will ask for and use a channel just like a normal acess terminal would . when use it u will see a top area that shows what essentia is in the network below that near the bottom u will see 2 slots with pictures of pials the left one is essentia input the right one is output (just like fluid storage with extra cells in that regard) this manual but great for the first big dump of essentia into the network , afterwards if u wanna import essentia into the network automatically (like the output of an alchemical furnace u will want an essentia import bus ) ,pulling essentia out of the essentia terminal is simply place an empty warded jar/pial in the input slot then select the essentia u want in the area in the top and it fill thewarded jar/container with as much essentia as it can (as normal pials are only capable of holding 0 essentia or 8)and it will be in the output slot

Is there a video on that? Haven't researched that yet.

Essentia hopper or vacuum or something it's a device that you place on a hopper and then you can connect the hopper to an essential pipe and off to whatever jar/machine/storage that you want.

Found this video that helped me. Thanks.

Is there a command or something I can use in creative to see which aspects (Thaumcraft 4, Mage Quest) belong to a block/item by shift+mouseover?

Edit: another question. Is there a way to use golems with Magical Crops? I mean, the poor buggers get killed since the crops deal damage...

Yes, the Thaumonnomnomnomicon Cheat Sheet Book. Be warned that you'll get a lot of Warp. You can use the following to get rid of it:
/Thaumcraft [player name] Warp Set 0 Perm
/Thaumcraft [player name] Warp Set 0 Temp
/Thaumcraft [player name] Warp Set 0 Sticky.

You're using the wrong version of Magical Crops then as they are now broken down ino separate parts. See this video:

To get all apsects I found that, yes. But what I wanted was to unlock the aspects associated to each item on the NEI so I can see what I should be looking for. I don't know if I'm explaining it correctly.

Regarding the Magical Crops, I'm watching the spotlight videos you posted and that is indeed the version I'm playing with (Pickle Pack: Magical 2). I tested on creative and the poor sucker started harvesting and dying (a regular flesh golem died after 9 harvests). Since it's a pack based more on magic than on tech (tough it does have MFR in it), I got thinking that "hell, there is got the be a way of using golems on this...". Maybe I'm wrong...

Small question: anyone else experiencing a problem with typing letters in NEI or anything that requires typing? It's totally random. I've already check my system and keyboard and they're fine.

Also, my Golems don't seem to be doing their jobs when I'm away from the Chunk and I have a Chunk Loader in place.

What Golem are you using?

Just checked the config and I should be getting damaged too, but I'm not. Try a fresh config file. Are they the exact versions?

It's Magical Crops 4.0.0 Public Beta, The mod must be fairly newish and either they really don't want us to operate with golems, or the exception hasn't been implemented in some way...

Anyone know how to use Minetweaker? I'm trying to make a recipe for the Green Hearts and Green Heart Canisters and I'm using Minetweaker Recipe Maker, but the scrip doesn't load and I get no recipe.

did u remember to hide nei when your trying to do so theres things to the right side of it that are usually covered over by nei that are completely necessary

This maaaaaaaay be my fault, but here goes. I started (a while back) playing Departed sinlge player. Oh boy... Fun, but hard. Super simple stuff, like farming, made into hell because you constantly have to look at the minimap to see if something suddenly spawned nearby and is coming for your ass.

But I digress.

Like I said, simple stuff is all I want right now. Like charging my iron capped wand. Just 25 vis of each, nothing too fancy. Running around exploring has turned into suicide runs with various levels of success (on the suicide, I mean).

So it comes to the TL;DR: how do I charge my wand, since I don't have 2 (Ordo and Perditio, as per usual) aspects present in the nearby nodes? I know there is a mechanic that makes mobs drop aspect orbs that slowly charge my wand. The thing is: either I'm unlucky, or those only work on vanilla mobs, because it sure as hell isn't coming from the hellspawn. Or maybe I need to kill them in melee? I don't know... Help?

The best mob to farm for vis imo are zombies, followed by skeletons. Both can provide all primal aspect orbs when killed. If you can find a zombie spawner (or a few) and farm them, they should get you a good source of early game vis. (i don't drain nodes at all with my iron capped wooden anymore since ingis was introduced into Cognito.) Skeletons are slightly more annoying to farm due to their bow and arrow, but still work. I think Zombie pigmen also share the same trait, but I can't rember for sure.
