AceClown posted:well after spending about 2 hours, 10 flint picks and 2 copper picks I still haven't found any gold so it's back to AS for me.... You were making new picks out of flint instead of just repairing the one you had with 1 flint and the broken item in a crafting table?

Man, the Botania stuff really feels gated way too hard. I've managed to toss him a trunk, but I need to complete three quests and each of them have something that's beyond me. Especially the ones that require botania stuff in return.

Can the pickaxe of the core find platinum? I noticed it can't find the metallurgy ores.

That must be something configurable, it's able to find everything especially vanilla ores like gold in modpacks I've used.

Metallurgy is a really poo poo mod and I'm constantly reminded of that when it's in a pack. Oooo look 50 poo poo redundant ores and even more poo poo alloys whose only use is bad tools! Waow. Blightfall is a really fantastic pack but it could benefit a lot from not having Metallurgy. Also replacing better storage with iron chests. Better storage is also really terrible at what it's supposed to do.

It doesn't help that when I saw Blightfall 2 had Botania I was looking forward for a chance to learn more about the mod. Nope, gotta bash your head in against a wall as the Paranormalist tries three more or less mutually exclusive different attempts at once. Drugging his co-worker while hacking the mainframe from inside a traveling trunk or having a straw golem play a french horn while he simultaneously breaks the door open with a crowbar despite having a portable hole focus in his pocket. I'll probably just run around and continue to just use the pure daisies I find as spot cleaners whenever some dumb tainted sheep vomits all over my cleared areas.

it's unfortunate, because botania legit has the least pain in the rear end ways to go about progressing in it and is pretty fun all around. i don't know how exactly it's tied into blightfall, but i feel like i won't be finding out for a while.

OK , I found gold under alpha dome in the caves, I went down to the glass turned right took the coal and then went back to the center 2 blocks then right 2 blocks then right 2 blocks going down all the time and you hit caves with gold in it. the ethereal blooms at the marble temple are good, You can take down the leaves and the outlying logs as the node is in the main trunk and will remain as long as you don't break that one (i got 4 saplings from mine) - you can see how the block holding the node has strange burn mark on the side also just to the north/north west is a pure daisy from botania and it also keeps the taint back so that may be a better localised protection of taint.

For the botania quests, I found the potions quest (one of the secrets has a brewing stand in it), the slime in a bucket quest (you just need like 6 buckets and Iron is plentiful in Blightfall) and the saw+crowbar+powerdrill quest to be the easiest. From there it's a ton of exploration because the flowers are scattered to the four corners of the earth and making them yourself is a huge bitch Also the Corepick should be able to find all the vanilla ores and all the thaum shards. I don't think it finds anything else though, so you might be sol for the tech metals.

When clearing taint, does it help to manually destroy fibrous taint, crusted taint, or anything else? Or should I just plop down my stash of ethereal blooms, and wait for the magic to happen?

Just drop blooms and move on, but be careful of crusted taint because it dissolves into liquid flux and liquids can uproot blooms. Once a column of the world has been cleaned, all the blighted poo poo there will start dying and it'll clean itself up E: Slick, there's an inactive division sigil up at 1657, 378, 68 X/Y/Z near the iceberg I found it because I heard random explosions and ran to check it out  The place is also a treasure trove of language samples, I just got 4 translation devices from it alone Magres fucked around with this message at 19:33 on Aug 15, 2015 |

I'm very fond of Hardcore Darkness (not so much its name, kinda misleading!), and I put it into Blightfall. Kinda crappy gif New Moons are very dark, but it adds an ambience that I adore, and its so goddamned creepy in Blightfall.

There's greatwoods all over and there's a couple near all the starting domes (except the ones in the desert); the problem is that if you've been hanging out in them for a while the taint will have eaten them. There's one that's basically guaranteed east of omega dome though and it also has some... OTHER stuff in it!  Also: As someone more tolerant than most on here of annoying nonsense in mods, the food delay thing (before you can eat the same food again no penalty) is way too high. I ate a bunch of apples when I was starting out and now, nearing the end of the metal progression, every PoI explored, about half-to-three quarters done on most of the "main story" quest (exempting things like the colonist purification quests), I am only now starting to lose the penalty on apples.

Yeah, I think whoever tested the 250 hunger thing was maybe a little too obsessed with eating all the various meal types. You *can* get through it without a huge amount of trouble actually, considering how many goddamn dairy products there are and how many meals use dairy products, but dairy products are also really annoying to make since you can't make them in batches without automated crafting. Tomatoes also unlock a bunch of different things to eat... then there's fishing and meat-based foods. HOWEVER, once you actually get past the 250 hunger you suddenly have to start referring to NEI to see which foods are good to eat again. Or keep all the best foods you eat in a chest so you can refer back to them easily. It's annoying and it should really be like 100 hunger. That's long enough to make it important to get new sources of food at the start where it counts, and short enough so you don't have to keep like 50 types of meals available. That said, I am actually going to see if I can get enough big meals to cover the 250 without it being annoying in the endgame. I imagine Epic Bacon is going to be important to get since it covers like 50 hunger points all by itself. Big meals are really important. Unfortunately because of the pre-existing hunger history you can't eat epic bacon until you clear it all out.

You can craft a bucket of milk into three "fresh milk" which are stackable and can be used in place of a bucket of milk for almost everything that requires a bucket of milk.

No you can't. Fresh milk isn't even in NEI. The only way to stack milk is to put it into glass bottles. Eventually I plan on having a rancher supply milk to fluicrafters or whatever.

You need to research infusion to get the tech for silverwood wands because they're made on altars. But you don't actually need to build the altar until later. If you're looking for a good Centi-Vis node, there's a messis-aer node that will give you 5 everything just north east of the swamp delta teleport. It may be a bit tainted, but if you're quick on your feet (i.e. you set up everything BEFORE you unjar the node) you'll only have to do a bit of spot-clearing with spare pure daisies/blooms. Once the node is properly thaumfucked into an energized node it loses its taint aspect.

Making Silverwood wand cores, iirc, takes an Infusion ritual. Make a Gold Capped Greatwood Scepter instead, the scepter research is gated behind silverwood wand cores. Greatwood Scepters hold 75 Vis - I've yet to do a single infusion and have a good CV node set up.
