So... dizzy...
Now that Thaumcraft 4 is out, I'm trying to set up a new set of mods for myself and my friends to use. However, I've run into a problem.

First is that the download for the most recent Modular Powersuits seems to have been borked. Does anyone have it or know where I can get it?

Second is that IC2 seems to be freezing Minecraft. Which version of IC2 should I be grabbing? (I grabbed the most recent build, 253, but it freezes things, and I don't know enough about this stuff.)

It's not enough that you can store several hundred thousand blocks of various things in two blocks anymore for Applied Energistics. Now you can take entire chunks.

On the topic of Thaumcraft 4, i've been writing all of the currently discovered aspects into a list because the books abit fiddly to get into when your on the table. Posting it here if anyone wants to add to the list, but please keep it behind a spoiler for anyone who wants the mystery preserved, such as me. :allears:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1hyZewrx-rXsexLBk02pTdmnC4PIsHIATQga8KAML6Dc/edit?usp=sharing

Expect millions of typos, its read-only so no one sneaks in a spoiler. :3:

This research system feels like a better way of doing it. Effort without consuming vast quantities of resources and encouraging you to explore the world for nodes. Bet its still going to be a pain in the arse for replay's 'tho.

Edit: Am i missing something here?



In the end i had to research another Thamium puzzle page because that setup and another seems impossible. Seems like the random discovery pages you get from carrying around paper and scribes tools are more difficult to beat. :raise:

Not only that, you'll be able to replace your item and liquid pipes, buildcraft and IC2 energy transportation, and even redstone with ME. All of it can go through the quantum network link as well, so it can take a redstone signal cross-dimensionally.

When Technic updates to 1.6.4 the Luddite pack will be available; it's an all-magic/zero-tech pack with Thaumcraft 4, Thaumic Tinkerer, Ars Magica (when it becomes available) and other suitable magic-based mods.

There's a few drawbacks. Because blocks like apiaries* store coordinates in metadata the author has opted for an opt-in system for modders. I'm sure most authors will add support eventually, but on initial release I wouldn't expect much compatibility. It makes sense that the AE author would make sure it was 100% rock solid on release and take low maintenance from his end, but it's disappointing for a short while that it can move vanilla blocks and AE stuff until other people flag their blocks as "yes, AE". On the positive side, it works with nearly every block in every mod without their authors having to change anything. They just need to opt in.

It also uses literally trillions of MJ if you are moving a large area. Think something that could run hundreds/thousands of MFR laser drills.

It's really awesome.

*I am not even sure if there are other blocks that result in server crashes and chunk resets. Blame bees. ;)

This adds an interesting action, you can abduct players and admins and imprison them in your storage cell. But this also means you can abduct the ender dragon as well and drop it into someone's place, or straight up steal someone's place and all their possessions. Encasing your place in warded blocks or locked furnaces does nothing now!

Thaumcraft 4 Trip Report: Deconstruction Table, while frustrating to have to sit here waiting, i have found a few items that seem solid.

Wheat seems king so far for everything but ignis. Coal/Charcoal should fix that but uncertain as test run seemed dry. Torches are a cheap alternative but the chance seems much lower. Another possibility is Netherwart but i dont have the mass production of it setup. :science:

Once you get a hang of it, AE's nifty and really easy. The biggest real hurdle for it is the amount of quartz it takes (both nether and the mod's own certus variant). Honestly, the amount of quartz you need almost makes you need to have fun with Quarries or building a Mining Laser. But...once you do the functionality AE gives you is pretty easy to understand and useful.

Oh, and to keep yourself sane, you only really need a handful of 4K memory drives unless you're doing something insane, like trying to store the output of a 64x64 Quarry. Also, since neither Quarries nor Mining Lasers have internal inventories for what they dig up, you'll need to have them output into a chest that you can then connect to the AE system with an import bus.

As for guides, the mod has it's own very good wiki: http://ae-mod.info/

Actually, you don't even need higher storages for that. Setting up a system to automatically dispose of cobble, dirt, and gravel above a certain amount will keep you sane and your network manageable. (Generally, I keep 1024 of each and destroy the rest using a condenser, export bus, and level emitter system.) If you have them, barrels are also a really good place to keep them, with a Storage Bus attached.

DSU with a Storage Bus attached. Don't dispose of a thing in case something needs a billion dirt or something.

And I'm pretty sure a Quarry will work if you put a ME Interface on top of it.
