Soo while working towards my arcane bore I came across a portal gun. This gave me the idea that when I get my bore I should portal between my base and the FAAAARRR distance where I'm boring. So of course I did this. And it was great! When I've finally finished boring I've decided to address my server's wisp infestation (I say infestation, it's one or two wisps every 10 minutes, not bad at all IMO) Trying to figure out what's causing all the wisps to spawn at random nodes (I created a containment area around the node that was first spawning wisps) Alll of my near by nodes are drained to about 25% of their full capacity. I haven't used any vis in a long time. The only thing I could think of was that the aura I was portaled to was draining vis from my base? Is that possible?

TL;DR: After boring a fair distance from my base (1.5km) keeping a portal open via portal gun to my base, all the auras around my base are depleted. Were the auras linked? Also how can I fix this?


Edit: I've also noticed 3 of my golems disappear, the first 2 were at the top of a tower and I can't imagine anything killed them. They dropped their items. The last disappeared along with a buildcraft pipe?

Check beyond your base. Are all the aura nodes between your base and the mining area also nearly empty? Are all the aura nodes in the world nearly empty?

When one node is low it will draw aura from far away, even from unloaded chunks (aura is just different). You could have just used up 75% of the aura in the world.

Golems can disappear randomly, and Buildcraft conductive pipes explode.

Golems can fall out of the world. The golem loads before the world, so they fall into the void.

Well all the nodes in my area were dry, I didn't think I'd drain the aura from 1.5km away? I sat there and watched the aura go up killing wisps so no one on my server would be pissed. All is well now.
