Magmarashi posted:If you have the resources to spare to make a Signalum Crossbow Limb, I'd say go for it. You'll have to bolster the durability with a Flux Cap, but the base arrow speed and draw time are worth it. A Flux Cap? I tried putting a capacitor on one of my tools and it didn't work at all.

Is there a way to repair Prometheum armor or do I just make new pieces when it breaks?

Small fix for whenever you get around to making another patch, you need four darkwood saplings to make a tree. Just giving one means you have to get lucky three more times to start growing darkwoods

Alternately, just wear it out and then craft armor from a metal you haven't used before because all the different metallurgy armors that I've tried have been uniquely scannable for Thaumcraft research.

 63 Ethereal Blooms and counting. 100% autonomous. Source is milk for Sano, mossy cobble for Herba and Praecantatio, and for vitium  .Best part is it creaks and groans under high pressure all the time. I owe all my success to my very competent assistant.

Another good source for herba/praecacanto is nether wart. Bonus, if you have a centrifuge you can centrifuge the other aspect it gives you (infernal) for more praecacanto!

So what is the intermediary metal you use to mine gold? You need gold to make tool casts for iron tools, so what is the tool you use to mine the gold in the first place?

I found some thaumium in a village in like the first hour, you can make it into a pick which can mine gold. The other best way is probably mining in the desert for nether quartz. The way the book says is bronze, but don't do that because tin and copper are hard as gently caress to find and you don't want to waste them on tools.

Botania question, how can I tell when Gourmarylliseseses are done digesting so it can be fed again? I thought that was when it stopped sparking, but that just seems to indicate it has mana. Is it done digesting as soon as the mana appears?

I assume date saplings have something similar? I got one of those from a seed bag ages ago and it's still sitting outside of my starting area, still a sapling.

I went through the nether wood route from lucky sapling bags. Ghost wood -> Dark Wood -> fuse wood -> blood wood, you should be able to mine all the basic materials including gold. But it's VERY expensive to make casts out of gold, You are supposed to use aluminum brass for that. Aluminum brass is 3 aluminum 1 copper.

Not really, considering gold is as plentiful as the Vanilla distribution. Things are a bit difficult if you're tooling around in caverns covered in taint but as soon as you've cleared out an area it should be fairly easy to find a lot of gold just hanging out in the lower depths. Whereas copper is stupid rare to the point where I'd only use maybe the first ore for the casts and have gold do the rest.

SugarAddict posted:Have you guys tried terrasteel for your weapons yet? Dunno about in TiCon weapons, but a regular terrasteel sword shoots laserbeams, which is pretty awesome, and will repair itself with mana, which is also awesome. Being a regular weapon also means you have access to the extra enchants, so you Wrath and Sharpness 5 and have a sword that does around 20 damage a swing and shoots lasers.

 Why isn't this working? I've tried moving the lower of the two Mortii one hex to the lower right, no dice. Danger Mahoney posted:Don't you still need to cast those at the smeltery? What did you use for your cast material? Nope, you can turn those into vanilla tools. Ariong fucked around with this message at 02:29 on Aug 24, 2015 |

I used oureclase under the swamps. It's mined by soft-metal (promethium) and can mine hard-metal. edit: But you can still use them at the smeltery, too! You just need 9 ingots (4.5 ores) worth of material so that you can cast an entire block in a casting basin.

After I get blood magic up so I can craft the diamond pickaxe I need to make it.

Easy way to break into blood magic is to make yourself a Dislocation Focus (thaumic tinkering) and head for the eerie giant obsidian tower isle on the south of the map. You can steal a free blood altar, a bunch of runes, murder a custom NPC to get a dagger of sacrifice, and use the dislocation focus to steal a zombie spawner from the barrow outside the tower. Bring it all home and set up a spawning pit to stab zombies for infinite blood.

I haven't found the research for the dislocation focus, but that custom NPC with the boss bar died like everything else I encounter, with lighting  .Edit: I should have finished it off with a looting sword for more loot though.

Bring it all home and set up a spawning pit to stab zombies for infinite blood. I'm pretty sure it's intended to do that (at least, except the "steal the zombie spawner" part) because you get the blood magic questline once you explore that tower. In fact, it's arguably easier to leave the altar where it is because the ziggurat structure around it is a guide for how to build the blood altar.

And then you steal them for an easy 9 diamonds. And the obsidian totems along one of the stairs to make your osmotic enchanter.
