Mystcraft ages help

[GuardIan4220]

I'm currently running the latest FTB Ultimate on my server and i want to setup an age for nothing but quarrying and another age to use as a hub to teleport around the map. However, I'm not sure what symbols would be good for both.

The quarry age needs to have the sun at noon and no moon with crystal tendrils. The hub age just needs to be a void with a bedrock platform to spawn on. Obviously, I'd like both ages to be stable.

Edit: If anyone has any links to a forum post where there is a collection of Mystcraft ages that would be very helpful as well.

If your mining age is stable, there is really no reason to not establish your hub there. I like flat terrain gen while hunting for pages, but the surface seems to generate at the highest altitude possible, meaning a lot more work (& dirt & cobble) for mining if you use a mountain biome like Extreme Hills. Alpine single biome flat is absolutely insane. Ocean single biome no seas standard terrain will have the lowest elevations, but I don't know how good the ore distribution is. Cave world does have a flat surface where structures & trees can spawn, but you'd have to pillar or fly up from your spawn to get to it, with a whole lot of underground space for mobs to spawn in. If you want to find emeralds in there, I'd try extreme hills edge, single biome, cave world, & use a jetpack to get up to the surface & set your quarry & your hub up top. If you don't have underground spaces for mobs to spawn in, they will spawn in every patch of shade available on the surface, even with noon sun.

For my mining ages, I usually like to do extreme hill and extreme hills edge with tiled biomes and flat terrain generation. If that ends up being to high, you could throw in an ocean biome and no seas page, and switch the biome controller to tiny biomes. For eternal day, do noon zero length normal sun.

Ok so i have single biome with extreme hills. Where do i need to put the flat symbol?

Flat is a terrain generator, the other options are Cave World, End World, Standard Terrain, & Void
here the wiki is actually pretty helpful. http://binarymage.com/wiki/doku.php?id=writing:writing

Think of it like adjectives and nouns. So your page order should be flat, extreme hills, single biome. Flat and extreme hills both describe the single biome. The ideas is this is written language.

I keep trying to test a meadows biome age but it doesn't spawn it right. I've gotten 2 extreme hills to work but i wanted to do a meadows to see the crystal tendrils better.

Does anyone have some recommendations for a void world?

Edit: I managed one on my own.
