Have question about a few mods couple magic and a tech Mod.

[Daihok]

Has anyone played with astral sorcery, embers or roots? Just wondering if they really offer anything that other mods dont, Like botania, bloodmagic, any of the other ktichen mods. I have not really messed with any of those 3 mods. What are you guys opinions or review of the mods?

I've only skimmed the surface of Roots and Embers. I keep meaning to dive into them completely, but time is limited and I get distracted easily. The two of them are both in Beyond if you wanted to take a play at them without feeling constricted to just what they offer. You could even drop in Astral Sorcery easy enough, and then you'd have all three to play with (in addition to Botania and Blood Magic).

I've not played with Astral Sorcery yet, but I've seen that it's in the Alpha Sprout pack, and I can't wait to play through that. Given that pack contains Ars Magica as well, I may try to play through the pack as a mage. Unfortunately, no time table has been set for it's release.

Yea i may just throw them in the pack i got going i guess and check them out. Hopefully i dont break anything finally have a fairly stable 1.11.2 pack. I think! lol

FYI: Embers and Roots are only really in their "proof of concept" stage in 1.10.2

Embers in 1.10 is... un-finished. The basics are there, but there is nothing in it that many other mods do, and mostly do better. The graphics are quite nice though!
Roots in 1.10 is bare bones. I found the wands quite lack luster and the only thing I used on a regular basis was the growth totems.. 4 of these placed on the edges of a 9x9 farming area with worms from Actually Additions made my system back up with how many seeds/items I was getting.

To get their full potential you will need a 1.11 pack like All the Mods to see what they are all about. But I'm still not sold on any of their features apart from what I've stated here.
