Mod Feedback ChromatiCraft questions and suggestions

Hello all,

So... anyone know how to find the secret burrows? So far I've found 2 ocean temples, and 1 underground shielded pylon.

Here is a link to my world map (the temples are circled in-case anyone doesn't know what they look like on the map. (NW and SE corners). If you happen to see a secret burrow location please let me know! I'd also appreciate a description or screenshot of what they look like from above ground.

I see a few candidates.

Also how do you perform painful loss achievement? I gathered over 90 caps and i killed myself, yet i have not attain the achievement.

I think the secret burrows have a mysterious, unexplainable light source on the ground above where they're buried. So...anything that isn't an aura node, beehive, or lighting glitch may well be worth investigating.

So...uhm...how, exactly, does the ritual table work? I have the pylon surge protection ability unlocked in my lexicon, but when I look at in the table, its greyed out. I try selecting it, anyways, and right-clicking it with my manipulator does naught. I'm assuming its drawing from my own personal lux store, and I know I have more than enough of each colour on me, yet it refuses to go.

Almost right, but not quite there! All of the powers that are grey in the table have not yet been infused into you. Click (or right click, I forget) on the ability in the table and it should boot you out of the table. At that point, simply right click the table proper with your Manipulator and you'll witness it turn on. From there, the table needs to draw lumen from your network until it fulfills the power requirements. You can monitor this progress by mousing over the table with your Manipulator, and once all colours have been filled you have but one small leap left to take...

The ritual table is part of a multiblock (which, to be fair, isn't clear in the lexicon), and should be connected to a lumen network in the same manner as the top-tier casting table to function. Usage is as Wraithflay mentioned. After you have infused yourself with an ability using relay-flavored lumens, it takes player-character-stored lumens to activate those abilities.

Aaaah, thankee! Now, I need to build a power net. Thankfully, that will be a lot simpler than normal, since I had the foresight to mark one pylon of each colour with my Draconic Evolution teleporter thingy.

So.. Pretty much run around collecting all the bees, because that is all that I've found at those light sources haha

Well that was just in reference to the infusion table, haha. In regards to YOUR particular problem, refer to this post I made a little while back! I seem to be somewhat the 'explorer' of the mod within this thread and at this point have found everything you can in the mod (excluding the absolute endgame), though I won't claim any particular mastery of the machines and such! If you still have trouble you're welcome to PM me about it, though I firmly feel that the exploration is a big part of the fun I've had with this mod so far, so I'm disinclined towards outright spoilers. xD

 

[RavynousHunter]

I'VE SEEN ONE OF THOSE! My friend on the server has one beneath her house! Couldn't, for the life of me, find a way to crack it open, though. Maybe I'll offer up my new red matter morningstar sometime tomorrow.

Thanks so much! Once I knew what to look for I found a field with 6 of them (it was a sunflower plains biome if anyone cares)

No problem! I noticed it was pretty consistently plains for me as well, so I'm glad I could help!

So as I progress further into Chromaticraft something that I have started noticing is when I gain more "research" (example getting crystal energy for the first time) my whole screen goes black unless I scroll to the compass. This only lasts as long as the info box up upper right is up.

Things that might be causing this: BetterFPS, Optifine, or my texturepack Unity

Try without Optifine. That typically breaks rendering within mods.

Weeeell, isn't that interesting? On a related note Reika, wasn't this supposed to work? Standard staff recipe using two rods capped with a primal charm, but as you can see it doesn't appear to be a valid recipe.

Apparently only the main wand recipe works. I have no idea why.

Well, so long as you're aware I suppose! Can't really offer any aid as to why something like that would not work, unfortunately. Thanks for the quick reply!

Have you been doing any Thaumcraft? I've had similar glitches involving ChC HUD elements and TC warp events.

Neato... is that node acting like a pylon, or being charged by one?
