[Thaumcraft] How to create a Node?

[Vaygrim]

So I managed to make a void age in MystCraft. It is stable (and spacious) so I figured that I would take a cue from so many Youtube streamers of FTB and make a nice big base in it. The problem I am having is.. of course.. the lack of vis / aura nodes for Thaumcraft. The age is a Mushroom Island world modified with the Void attribute. So .. zero land except for what I put in place.

What I did not realize would be a side effect of this is the complete lack of generated magical nodes. So I have put down a nice big block of fenced off dirt and planted a few Silverwood Saplings around a nearby water source. I have tried to use bone meal on them but that apparently is not supposed to work. So I tried my Hoe of Growth and nothing.

Can give me some advice on this? Do silverwood saplings require aura / vis to actually grow?

Yes. Your options are few. Actually, you have no options.

Saplings do not create new nodes. They take from surrounding nodes and create a small pure node from that. The only option I can think of is to try and regenerate nodes in your world. In the thuamcraft config file look for aura_nodes and set that to true. Then restart the server. Remember to backup your world first though. If aura isn't suppose to be generated in your age, then this won't help either.

A long shot to be sure....
But....
What about placing those aura charging crystal clusters?
Might, maybe, probably won't jump start something up?

A shot in the dark....
