I'm hoping someone can shed some light on what is going on. I have attempted a couple of times to set up some decent sized Pure Aura nodes in and around my base but they keep just disappearing.
To try and describe the setup:
The nearest natural aura node to me is around 500 Vis and about 100 blocks away.
My first attempt I built a pure aura node at ground level 10 around 120vis. I then built a node about 30 blocks above that and another 30 blocks higher again. I then built 2 pure nodes at the top of my base to around 200 vis each (I have a tall tower).
The idea behind this was that the nodes would be able to pull vis from the natural node and transfer it upwards.
However after a few days the bottom nodes vanished (I hadn't been doing any thaumcraft stuff). Then within a couple of weeks all of my pure nodes where gone.
My second attempt I just tried to build 2 pure nodes at ground level of my base. I did make one small pure node between the natural node and my base as well. I started building them both up and all was going fine (they where within about 15 blocks of each other). I built one up to about 250 and the other was around 150. I left the base for about an hour (it is chunk loaded and the nodes are in the middle of a 9x3chunk loaded area) and when I came back the bigger node was gone. The smaller ones was still there in the same place and the same size with no flux so I don't think they merged.
I have spent hours looking for saplings and trying to do this and I would really like to find a solution. The only thing I can think of is maybe having too many nodes in a small space maybe? either that or its just bugged?
Any suggestions on how I can do this so I can get vis up around 150 blocks above the ground without having nodes vanish?
