I was thinking about switching up the biome in regrwoth, particulary, to statisfy more bees more easily, and found, that silverwood trees has a chane to change it to magical forest biom a little bit. So I planted a few around my base, got pure nodes, and sure it did change the biome a bit. But now I have few questions:
1) Will it spread? Or should I just plant new trees in the locations, where there still are that dead biome?
2) What should I do with silverwood blocks, which contain a node? I believe, if I chop them, the node will die. Can I pick that node up with node in the jar?

Pack? If its infinity, no, and I don't think the aobd ore generates. The bc quarry is essentially a large scale block breaker, so anything you find in the ground has the potential to be found by the quarry.

And can i change the aobd config file to enable the spawn of this ore ?

That, I don't know. I'm not at my computer so I can't check, but you would have to either retrogen or go to a new chunk.

They do spread a little. If I remember correctly it is an 9x9 square centered on the tree. I may be wrong about this. As for jaring them, they can be jared just like any other node. Jar it while it is still in the wood block.

How do you empty portable tanks from TE? playing on Infinity Evolved expert, I got to thinking if I ever get to the point of being able to craft the creative portable tank...you can't empty it so you are stuck with 1 type of molten metal or whatever you put in there, maybe that is the point?, I messed with the tank for an hour and couldn't figure out how to empty it, I don't even know how to empty the regular portable tanks without having to drain them into some other type of tank...can't just break them anymore

I know there's a way, I think you need to shift click.

Bear in mind only Pure nodes in Silverwood tree logs actually spread the Magical Forest. Once you jar a node in a block (be it a silverwood tree node, or an obsidian totem one) you'll lose the containing block.

So far all nodes I got (like 10) are pure. Some are pure, bright, some pure, pale tho. Did you mean - biome will appear only in the initial location (be it silverwood), and not in the location, where I move it to?

Would be nice, if there would be a way to map surrounded area with biome overlays tho.

Moving the node will not reproduce the biome change. The biome change is only triggered by the growth of a silverwood that has a pure node in it.
i swear i rember it being the node them selves is responsible for the biome and will do so where ever they are . just like sinister will try to do the same to where it lives .

When making a fast cobblegen using Extra Utilities Transfer Node, does putting in Speed Upgrades make any difference? All they seem to do is slow it down, not speed it up. Go figure. I'm playing Infinity Evolved Expert Mode where the World Interaction Upgrades costs a diamond pickaxe for each one. 192 diamonds for one stack of World Interaction Upgrades... and since 2 stacks of those still isn't keeping up with my IC2 recyclers and I'm about ready to go for 3 stacks, I need to figure out if I'm doing something wrong with these Nodes and Upgrades. Experimenting with Speed Upgrades has been a total fail so far. I'm using Ender IO Item Conduit to move the cobble to the recyclers and I'm certain that's not my bottleneck, it's the cobblegen itself. I probably just need that third stack but figure I might as well ask the question. 600 diamonds for a cobblegen is pretty ridic, but whatever... need those scrap boxes for that Iridium.

Edit: Thinking about it, making 2 separate cobblegens and splitting the distribution to my 60 Recyclers might be the best idea. Did they nerf cobblegen in this pack or something?

Speed upgrades mean it traverses pipes faster, if the node is right next to it's target speed upgrades will make next to no difference.

Thanks. I'm glad you said "next to no difference" because I now have 3 stacks of World Interaction Upgrades and I think (maybe?) that putting 3 (not 3 stacks, just 3) Speed Upgrades made a difference. Not certain, but also not gonna touch it since I now have the cobblegen exceeding my usage (which is all I care about).
