It's all good, I found it, lol. I had an eye doc appointment this morning and so took the whole day off. I now have cooked meats, thanks to Oniya. That was a really good idea to go with the pumpkins. That's pretty manageable when you can get 4 seeds each.
Wasted a ton of resources today building things I just did not need to build at all. First, I made a couple of gold gears for absolutely no reason, not knowing how many ingots it was taking each time. But I was like whatever, I'll use em eventually. So, next thing on my handy dandy quest book happens to need two gold gears! Clearly it was meant to be. Only, I didn't realize it until after I made it, but it was the same damn hobbyist steam engine that's litterally in every town. That along with the steel plate immersive engineering fiasco, It's hard to to feel like I wasted half of my bonus day.
But, this is not my first fan made hard mode game. I can handle some setbacks. I actually still got a ton done, just nothing with much payoff. But I'm pretty much done with chapter 1 and I think I'm right about to get that assembly table up and running soon. It's been my NEI nemisis for a while now. This will open up a lot.
Including storage. It looks like this is the gate for the drawer controller, and thermal Dynamics stuff. It's so very much time to get organized. Just some basics, though. Compacting drawers are so expensive, it's actually helping me not obsess over the perfect system. I'm just going to start simple and upgrade as I go along, because it's time to pick a school of magic.
I have always wanted to thaumcraft, but botania is calling me. So, naturally that means I'll probably be doing blood magic. I'm open to suggestions, but I'm thinking most likely Thaumcraft for real. Seems like a good time to start, especially before the tech stuff overshadows some of it. WellW see...
