I usually eyeball it myself, other methods I've seen that work well is make up a grid overlay in paint or some such, take a screenshot of the research, combine them and look at where everything needs to be. Another one is use other runes to guide where you need to put the active ones. Since the active runes can only be one apart, using this second method is a really good in-game method of dealing with it.

I see two primary reasons people dislike TC4:
-It has the worst default configs I've seen in a major 1.6 mod. Natural Taint spawns are incredibly common, nigh-unstoppable and force you to rush for expensive purification tech. This could be fixed by making Taint a real biome, much like how Magic Forests spawn, and removing spread.
-Research is an absolute pain after about 2 worlds, and the 1st world is also painful. This could be at least improved with a config setting making all researched aspects infinite and greatly buffing the Deconstructer.

Intricacies that I've noticed which helps a lot, Runes will prefer to connect to other active runes, and not nodes. So there have been ones that I lined up all the runes where they should have solved it, and it bypassed a node.. So what you have to do is put an inactive rune between the ones that are connecting to bypass a node, and they'll connect the node in.
SCAN ALL THE THINGS
in the middle of doing research I remembered I have not done a scan run in awhile so I broke out my scanner and raided everyone's base for things to scan.

*imagines saice sneakily running around in everyone's base*
Totally ninja shoop on a scanning raid.
So finished all the research and stuff. Then I died in the End and it did not give me a grave so yeah had to re do all my gear which was a prefect time to make new gear.
So I made one of these

You can always add mods to Horizons, all the mods currently in a FTB pack should be able to be added real easy.
True. It's just surprisingly nice to actually get away from all the usual suspects for a change. I'm missing Computercraft though. I might add that in on my next world reset. Which will most assuredly replace Rotarycraft and Reactorcraft.
So for demon summoning I needed to restock up on glow stone. While doing that I decided it was time to get more honey blocks

So to do demon summoning you need to get into BM alchemy so yeah

After summoning, killing and binging all the demons I could this is what I got. Missing are the 2 tier 2 summons which we could not get to work. And we killed 5 of the 6 elementals for the same reason one just did not work. Pro tip you want an easy elemental to kill for a demon shard go for earth he was the easiest one.
