Thaumcraft CV Usage

[zilvarwolf]

They don't. The update that introduced the cv network reduced jars and thus mirrors to supplying arcane infusion only.

You can connect up pipes to pipe perdito in. That runs the bore faster but does not allow a repair enchanted pick to repair while in the bore.

Well, crap. That's just a big bucket o' good news. Thanks again.

Not worried about the repair enchant ATM. Using an efficiency 5 bound pickaxe.

End-game Thaumcraft turning into a power system management game sucked...If you are going to have a power system it needs implemented at the start. Especially something that requires so much planning and node growth like CV.

Yeah, I kind of like how the mirror works for the Infusion Matrix and I can't fathom why the support for it was removed.

For vanilla Thaumcraft, there are too much con vs pro for one to use Energised nodes.

Cons
1. Energised nodes when de-energised, loses all vis and have a very likely chance of degrading into a pale or even lower node. That usually means you will need to find a new node l soon.

2. Node Stabilisers aren't Hungry node-proof. If they were, issue 1 will be easily counteracted by feeding the now empty hungry node.

3. You HAVE to de-energise the node before moving it. No ways around it. Meaning you can avoid issue number 1.

Otherwise, I like how the Energised node system works.
For me right now, I uses Technomancy to generate new hungry nodes as and when I need to replace dying nodes.
It is still a pain since I have to go through the feeding process ( takes quite a while ) and then tainting it ( another PITA step ) before I can use it.

I never had the idea that @Azanor intended energized nodes to be moved.

I too, don't think he intended it to be moved.

But it doesn't change the fact that de - energising a node kills off the node ( most of the time ).

Lessons learned last night. PAINFULLY.

1) Turn off the node squisher BEFORE you turn off the stabilizer.
2) Do NOT attempt to telepose a CV'd node.
3) Flux cleanup is unfun in small amounts. It's complete crap when a node explodes. Twice.

yea... I actually suggested this method to someone in ways of creating taint, by moving an energized node

Ive always considered it cheating to clean up any purple goo by destroying it with blocks.
So: flux cleanup in small amounts is irrelevant. and flux cleanup in large amounts is irrelevant.
But now, there is a flux cleanup thingy. Which means that:
Flux cleanup in small amounts is irrelevant. And flux cleanup in large amounts is irrelevant.

you could also use the sponge from Thermal Expansion to clean up flux goo, heck, you can even put that sponge in a fluid transposer to transfer it into a liquid container

Throwing a primordial pearl into a hungry node can change it to a bright hungry node. FYI.

Really? But it seems like such a waste unless you have spares.

agreed, seeing as these pearls aren't exactly cheap and easy to get

Fun with RotaryCraft EMP's heh(I haven't tried to energize this node yet in my test world, but some interesting results..)
