true but maybe the tree breeding could take place some where else I guessI love how nobody even mentions the Sorting Tree. Does ANYONE ever use that thing?
Also, if the Tree of Transformation turns an area into an Enchanted Forest, wouldn't that make it difficult to accurately breed trees since the leaves are flashing colors all the time and you won't be able to tell which are mutated? Is the biome change permanent or does chopping down the tree end it?
How many people actually use twilight forest's magic trees
- Thread starter The classless
- Start date
I think it has the same effect as the ore magnet, which pulls existing ores.
it took me a day real time to find one of each type of tree so yes they are rare and they also won't drop saplings
So you can't take one back to your base? You have to use it there on the spot?
no you found the saplings in the leafs dungeons then you can plant them any where in the over world or the twilight forest but the the new tree when fully grown will not ever drop saplings so you need to find a new sapling of the desired tree in another dungeon to grow more
Because the question was. How many people actually use the trees from twilight forest?
I don't use them.
But the reasons I don't use them aren't one of the options.
You find saplings, they're in chests in leaf dungeons. But once you plant the saplings you find, the grown tree won't drop any saplings if you cut it down. So make sure you're happy with the spot you grow them in
You had no desire nor thought to include your reasoning, if you did, you'd have posted them. You were just being pedantic. Bare in mind this isn't an invitation to do so.
If you don't use the mod then that's fine, but don't expect your "input" to be taken into any sort of productive discussion because that wasn't your intent and you know it.
Now I ask again. Stay on topic or leave.
Miner trees are absolutely amazing, especially if you place them on top of a large hollow hill. Just remember to replace the dirt once you mine the ores that came up, so it can pull more things out.
Speaking of large hollow hills, if you want to do things in a slightly less cheesy way, get a magnum torch from ExtraUtils, get to the center of it, dig a bit down to ensure everything will work correctly, and place the torch. Then just move away so everything despawns, go back and enjoy only having to worry about spawners.
I didn't know about the transformation bee trick until I saw that video, though. Nice to know, at least now I don't need to settle for a forest biome while playing BoP (although I guess I still won't be able to have my snow either unless I fiddle around with ExtraBees or alveary energy drain heaters.

Can you move the tree cores with a gravity gun? That way you could get much more mileage out of the miner's tree and will also be able to relocate the other trees (or at least the part that causes the effect). If you can pick them up with a gravity gun, then you can also drop the cores on torches or half slabs to collect them, for easy transport.
not sure I am too scared to try in survial world but I will try in creative update it does infact work so you can move cores with gravity gun [DOUBLEPOST=1375621703][/DOUBLEPOST]
To settle this the thread was meant for ftb players who use the mod and were unaware of how awesome the trees are and that they are out of wip
this is not sound mean or anything but I just thought you should know
I've seen them but never found them before. Good info in this thread. Twilight Forest actually has a lot of new content. The Knights Dungeons have lots of new mobs and loot btw. There's plenty of reasons to explore that dimension again in 1.5. I hope there mire coming in 1.6
I found one those but my weapons are too weak to hurt any of the mobs there but now I have a wand of lighting and the mobs will die
Infused stone not only functions as an ore, it can also recharge the aura. That is likely why Azanor made them unable to be silk touched or gravity gunned. The crystal capacitor is something you can research that will give you the effect infused stone has on the aura, but you are able to pick it back up and place it somewhere else.
They're found as rare loot in Leaf Dungeons, which can be found in giant Twilight Oak leaves.
Sorry if this is a bit of a Necro-post, but I found this tread and I have to say my opinion.
I recently found some of the Magic Saplings while I was randomly exploring, seeing as I tend to go to the highest point I can find and use it as a look out to find interesting structures when I heard the sounds of spiders. I investigated and found one of the Leaf Dungeons and got ahold of my first Tree of Transformation Sapling, which got me looking and hunting down for any other rare loot (up until that point I thought that the Magic Tree Saplings where still WIP). So far I LOVE the Tree of Time, thus far one of my favorites, simply because of it's look, plus it made my Silverwood and Greatwood Saplings grow faster (or, at least I think they did...).
I do have some questions though for anyone that may know.
Will the Core blocks still function if without the rest of the tree?
I know that the Portal Gun/Gravity Gun and pick up and move the Core blocks, but I would like to know before trying to relocate the trees (kinda was testing them out and are now in the way of a Build of mine...).
And has anyone figured out the Area of Effect (AoE) each tree has? And is the AoE centered where the sapling was, or where the core is? The Tree of Transformation has a pretty simple one to find out, seeing as it affects a visible area, but I can really tell with the other ones. Would really like to know on the Miner's Tree and the Tree of Time.
If anyone can answer those, it would really help me out. ^w^

Btw, if you are playing the 1.5.2 version of one of the mod packs that added in Thaumic Tinker, the Wand of Dislocation can be a big hand for getting Infused Stone around the surface (currently building a castle out of Fire Infused Stone blocks with a Lava mot in a Volcano biome from Plenty O' Biomes. :3). And the Miner's Tree REALLY helps with finding Infused Stone. :3
