Broadcasting is the only progression that i can do in the book. discovered every structure. even died with lots of lumen. So far, i only found this invisible plant that likes to live on trees, so i assumed that it is the ivy. I guess i have to look at other places.

edit: I am missing the nature essence. NEI points me to aura ivy.
Try Extreme Hills.

like i said. i assumed it was the plant i was looking for ;). If it is indeed the specific biome i need, i can stop my search. it looks like ATG does not have any of those in the standard config and is not generating it in my world.

You don't need a specific biome as far as I'm aware of. Hint: ivy is a climbing plant. It should be, as most plants, green. There may be a problem with the way ATG worldgen makes its landscapes, but it's not biome-related.

well. i searched a 10kx6k area and did not find a thing. after a change to the ATG config (added all variants of said biome) i finally found the plant i was looking for. similar biomes (temperature and height) did not have them. Maybe it is a generation issue. I will check other biomes with similar world generation again, but this change helped a lot.

This is untrue. The nontiered plants are all biome-specific.
I found them both in mountain biomes and BoP's Highlands biomes, so I didn't think they were specific. Is there a broader category "mountainous" or something similar?

My favorite way to answer a question I don't want to answer is to give a correct but completely useless answer.

"What biomes do these things spawn in?" The biomes with the stuff.

"What stuff?" The stuff that is in those biomes.

So is there anything special required to reactivate broken pylons? I had two pylons near me that were broken from the start due to worldgen deleting a piece of stone, once from a little one block tree in a swamp and once from a PHC mushroom garden log. I got crystalline stone crafting and repaired them but they just sit there inactive. I've had similar things months back with much older versions where I've been unable to get a pylon that was deactivated reactivated so wondering if I'm missing anything, using the elemental manipulator doesn't seem to do anything which was naturally my first attempt.

As long as the structure is complete, it should work.

Hmm, I'll have to double check the structure. Is there some kind of delay till it reactivates so I should know how long I should sit watching it for before reporting it? And trying to drain it with the elemental manipulator is a valid way of checking if it's working right?

It needs to recharge for a couple of hours - while chunkloaded.

Ok, I'll make sure to put chunkloaders down and come back later. Was pylon auto-chunkloading a thing? I think it was and don't think it would've been disabled but whatever, I'll try some other chunkloaders there.

If by inactive you mean not making sound/zapping things then you probably did it wrong. In my experience they do that as soon as you fix them. But yeah they will have to recharge before you can do anything useful with them.

Ok, so still not seeming to do anything, including sounds or zapping stuff and no clue what I did wrong. So screenshots of a pylon from every side, no idea what I missed. Made it as an imgur album.

Any ideas what I missed?

Does it need to have the corners of the bottom layer filled in with crystalline stone? I don't know if it does or not, but that's the first thing I'd try.

Could you post the game log or crash report to Pastebin or some similar service and link it here? Without that, there's no way for us to tell what's wrong.

I'm having a strange issue where my Lexicon's progression page will reset randomly. It appears that I still have each individual "achievement", but the book isn't showing that I do. If I obtain another achievement in the same chain, the book will show the chain, completed to the point I just got. However, the next time I open the book, the page will be back to the original "new to the mod" display, REGARDLESS of whether or not I use the "save and close" button.
