I'm playing Infinity Evolved Skyblock, and I'm having difficulty with regards to mana generation. I want to make a runic matrix, but in order to do that apparently I need an entire mana pool worth of mana (1,000,000 mana). Any mana generating flora I'm currently able to make come nowhere close to the amount of mana generation it would require to achieve this in a reasonable amount of time. Is there something I'm missing or is it just going to take forever to generate this much mana?

In Infinity Evolved Skyblock, is it actually possible to get Dragon Hearts for Draconic Evolution? As far as I know there's no way to even get to the end, let alone fight the Ender Dragon or any of the other dragons.

There's end cake or something from Ex Astris isn't there? Anyway you can use phantasmal bees from forestry to resurrect the dragon using a dragon egg and draconic bees or something similarly named from magic bees to produce dragon eggs.

What are my options to charge Draconium blocks? TE Energetic Infuser is one that I know of. What else?

Edit: I forgot to mention that I'm on Infinity.

Pretty much anythign that can charge items with RF. DE has an option, although I forget it's name. EnderIO capacitor banks and BC Charging tables should also work.

Early game mana gen is fairly slow. I dont know the exact recipe changes by heart so im unsure how hard they are to get but endoflames will prob be your best bet even for late game. 1 flower tho wont get you much, most people do large system with multiple pools.

Capacitor banks from ender io is what i use

And I'm here again...

I created an Energy Core of mod Draconic Evolution and already have a generator of Big Reactors but how I store the energy produced by the generator in the Energy Core?

You require Energy Pylons. They need to be no more then 10 blocks away from the core and have to have a glass block either above or below the pylon. It'll be configured right if an orb appears when you place the glass block. From there you can right click the orb to change it from input<->output for that pylon. To get energy in, pipe the power into the energy pylon set to input mode (white dots flowing towards the energy ball). To get power out, an energy pylon (can be a different one) needs to be set to output mode (white dots flowing from the energy ball to the pylon), then just pipe power out.

why does no one mention draconic evolution's charger its literally called an energy infuser and de's book(the information tablet) i think says its much faster then other methods (how true that is idk but a big group of vibrant capacitor banks might beat it)

Thanks so much for detailed tutorial! :D now I have energy for life! \o/!

Good evening, about draconic Storage. I am looking for a way to read how much rf the draconic storage is holding in order to send a redstone signal when it's almost full. I have tried the power monitor from ender IO but it seems to only read the max capacity of the storage ( T7 ). I tried Rftools Monitor too but I didn't reach to make it work ,my storage is currently 1/4 full but when I tried to send a signal if it was less or more than X ( I did all of the possibilities ) i never had a signal corresponding to the current amount of RF stored.

I apologise for my poor english :).

I didn't mention (I should've) the one from DE because that costs a buttload of ingots, which I wasn't to eager to spend =P

That's the entire point. A (poor) wiki page here.

EDIT: For an actual question, what's the easiest way to get sandstone bricks? Chisel doesn't seem to have them for some bizarre reason. Willing to add a mod.

Can't you Tinkers chisel them like normal?

Maybe? But I'm playing a pack without tinkers construct and I'd prefer not to add it as it adds a ton of stuff that I really don't need.
Oh... So you need a mod that adds bricks made of sandstone. Not a way to craft the Tinkers Construct "Sandstone Bricks". I see.

Railcraft adds Sandy Bricks which is not exactly Sandstone, but might be somewhat along the lines(I dont really know what it looks like with default textures).

Alternatively you could just take the Tinkers Construct Sandstone Brick texture and use it to replace something else(like one of the Chisel variants or the Sandy Brick).

Might look into changing a texture, sandy brick is interesting and might use some but it's more of a pale brown than the colour of sandstone.

I've read on several instances mention to using Caps locks to afk sieve. Is it just bind and use, or is there something more to it? I bound my "Use Item/Place Block" key to "CAPITAL" and it works as the regular mouse key bind.
