I've never had instability with all my single biome ages with mystcraft 0.9.5.0.0 - and I have a LOT of single biome types.

Adding instability doesn't mean the age is unstable, it means that these symbols add to the 'instability counter'. Just by itself it probably won't cause issues, but everything that's not 'normal' (single biome, tendrils, etc.) adds instability. Writing an age well counters this by removing instability. By adding stabilising symbols you can counter the instability enough for the age itself to be free of any of the symptoms of instability.
This way you can have an age with crystals and glowstone for example without any of the sicknesses.

Just wondering, would you have a good example of a proper mining age (not referring to dense ores or the likes but a good, stable, and relatively normal age rather.
Thanks.
Just try to add as many normal modifiers as possible. We have a quarry age that has a medium biomes controlles, 4x plains (so it's nice and flat), villages, lakes, lava lakes, etc. The only things that is 'off' is "eternal day". Aside from that it's a nice quarry age it's also a nice source of animal products (meat, leather, feathers) oil, bees, etc.
It's important to fill out the book as much as possible because if stuff is missing it will add symbols and that adds quite a bit of decay (each missing symbol does). That's why if you just craft a descriptive book and jump into it you will always get some form of instability.
Mind you, this is all based on my observations of the previous versions of Mystcraft. Although I don't suspect there are huge changes to this mechanic things might have changed in this regard with the new question.

Ooo... yeah.
The closest thing is ComputerCraft MiscPeripherals can read IDs.... but I don't think they can read Data Values. And I think they only can read inventory items (the Interactive Sorters). The Minecraft Wiki seems to imply Librarians have a DV of 1.
Just put the villagers into a water trap, have a turtle/block detect their IDs, and activate a track switch to the right destination and load them in minecarts for sorting (with unloaders at their destination).
Could even have overflow detection to lava everything if the destination is full (pressure plate and wireless redstone.... if it's full they won't be able to move away).
See, farming villagers CAN be fun.
Really it's any cave world that is stable. Cave worlds are great for quarry-ing for a variety of reasons. You don't even need dense ores.
Because they have LOTS of material to recycle, but also lots of dead air you can skip through. For quarries, this situation gives you a lot more flexibility in what you want to mine. It's easy in a cave world to do a huge mining zone on the diamond zone, the copper zone, or anywhere in between.
With some scouting, you can do things like big quarry runs on just interesting metal zones and the diamond range with nothing in between. A very good outcome.
I guess that depends on whether you find CC to be fun... I don't :/
Hmmmmmm, I'll give it a try later tonight perhaps...trouble with cave worlds I find is they are leggy as hell...
Well, TBH, I don't think CC can do what we want it to do, if you were even reading my post.
Someone will have to make a block that can sort villagers. Like Railcraft or GT.
EDIT: The ComputerCraft add-on OpenCCSensors (not in FTB) can pretty much do this.
Could easily set up a system even without the villager detector, where villagers are spawned and funneled to a minecart, then the minecart travels to a holding track, where you look to see what type of villager it is, then make a quick decision / trade with him and step on a pressure plate to send him to his doom. Minecart unloads him to lava and circles around to pick up a new villager.
What came to mind was an army of turtles armed with swords and mining lasers, invading villages and rounding up the "Chosen Ones" and killing the rest.
The day of turtlenet grows closer...
Wonder if the turtles could be programmed to use the villagers as a power supply....
Pack updates are on Monday evenings GMT.
I don't suppose there's a regular time the team is aiming at? I'm torn between waiting patiently like an adult and indulging my inner child by going straight to the test build (which is probably unwise).
single mushroom biome, bright, caves, eternal day, wooden tendrils and crystals.
thats what I will do as soon as I get ultimate, cheat that age in, never touch mystcraft again (besides portals for nexus maybe).
Flat tends to start the terrain at 128.
That means a lot of wasted BC power on a Quarry to get to the good stuff (Diamond level).
Stick with normal (height of 50-80) or Cave World + Caves + Ravines (Cave world is just Flat with a hollow center). Keep in mind, I think in the TE file very few ores spawn above 80-90. So 30 blocks or 1/4 of what you mine is largely wasted power (you'll get some iron and coal, about it).
