Well DireWolf is semi-taming them with MFFS, but if you can do that then you might as well use that on the wisps.
So an update...
The thing that worries me the most is that I cannot see my node.... I wonder how many more of these f*(&%ers there are.... this screen shot almost killed me.... sigh.....
My God! It's full of stars!
Just a follow up on the wisp infestation, I have cleared the room. Two enchanted wands of lightning later and a lot of dead wisps. Still have high flux but it did drop to medium for a bit there so I think I can get it back to normal with a bit more wisp killing. I have killed two withers here so the room works. So nah nah nah to those who said it was a lost cause.
According to some Mindcrack videos, it is possible for him to break it for a split second, but only if he's tracking you through some warded glass basically.
It instantly re-appears though, but it's just enough time for him to get out.
Go to 19:28
Shouldn't have problems if it's a room to fight him in, his explosions can't break it.
To answer my own question, yes, this totally works. They fight it out. As DW20 would say, nice.
I would think so, but don't wisps do ranged attacks? I wouldn't think the golems would fare very well.
Portal turrets would honestly work the best. Their firing range is extreme.
It's slow, tough and strong vs. nimble and weak. I built my test in a glass box, so the golem has a huge advantage (he usually two-shots wisps). They usually get a few licks in first though. It's cool to watch the golem tracking the free-flying wisps. They're safe up high, but if they dip too low in the wrong spot they're screwed.
Gonna go try turrets now ...
OK, turrets are, uh, terrible. It appears that they take some time to target the wisps before firing, which the wisps perceive as an hostile act. So they zap the turret, killing it in one shot.
The biggest problem with golems is that they're dumb. They sometimes stand there and take shot after shot before hitting the wisp again. The wisps never attack first (at least the ones from the wisp spawner don't).

Yeah, they are pretty weak, health-wise. You want to keep the portal turret far, far away.OK, turrets are, uh, terrible.
In Beta A they had a ridiculous 40 block firing range. And, once they start firing, they have a high knock-back value, so the wisps probably wouldn't get close.
IIRC, if you grab one with a portal/gravity gun, it will still attempt to find a firing solution (could be wrong). Mobile machine gun.
Looks like it's 16 blocks now by default
.On that note, I can't find a config file for Portal Gun that has any meaningful options for turrets. The wiki says to look under /minecraft/mods/portalgun, but there's no such folder. There's a portalgun.cfg file in /minecraft/configs, but it doesn't have any of these options.
Yeah, I noticed a lot of stuff was stripped out. Not sure if you can add it in to alter the settings.Looks like it's 16 blocks now by default

Also, IIRC portal turrets can fire through Iron Bars, so you can use those to protect them. Make a cage.

Look in your save folder. "your world" / portal gun world. Loads of configs in there.
Just be advised those configs below may not be default as I forget what changes I made.
