Everyone in Blightfall should be making tainted wand cores instead of Silverwood - they have 150 mana capacity and all sorts of benefits when in tainted biomes, which you are all the dang time in Blightfall. A tainted crafting scepter would have 225 mana capacity. If you need tainted shards, make a shovel of the purifier and chop up some fibrous taint with it. You should be making a shovel of the purifier anyway.

It's merely to split up the different themes / mods. You can do any of the things you unlock but i'd probably focus on Thaumaturgy & Alchemy (& Golemancy) to get some useful poo poo. Basicly the top 5 or so tabs are the default thaumcraft tabs, the others are added by other mods and sorta bleed into it.

For example, if you complete the research for Essentia Distillation ( in the Alchemy tab ), you'll unlock stuff in the Applied Energistics tab. The thaumcraft Epochrypa tab got me interested in the Blood Magic and Botania mods and that is one of the fun things about the Thaumomonicon to me.Edminster posted:Wait what? Do wands not automatically refill by themselves? Be wary that the lovely starter wand can drain nodes empty, after which they don't regenerate that aspect or just vanish entirely if you took out everything. You need at least a gold capped greatwood wand or similar (thaumaturgy) and the Node Preserver research ( 1st tab ) in order to safely charge your wand at a node. heard u like girls fucked around with this message at 16:13 on Aug 25, 2015 |

OK so what is the infusion altar search length below it? My candle love nest is 5 blocks below. At the same level of the altar, I have my crucible with lava under it, an infinity water pool, torches, and some of my chests within searchable area. I think my furnace and alembic are outside of range--including all the extra random essentia jars I filled with one or two units. I had hooked up more pipes and jars to the alembic once I realized nether war had three aspects to it. I just saw something quick that it had praecantatio and did not double check. Even then, the drat thing would just jam up. It would claim to still have some stuff in it, but nothing was filling. So I'd have to go around the tabs, trying different jars to draw off whatever random crap it had. I totally plan to get that into thaumic energistics ASAP, but I'm really eating it in the early tree here. Magres posted:Your order of priorities should be getting a greatwood gold capped wand, then a greatwood gold capped scepter/staff (I usually do scepter but that's personal preference), getting centivis tech (takes no crucible or infusion work if you use greatwood scepter/staff), then getting essentia distillation and the thaumatorium going. After that and only after that, go harvest a couple stacks of zombie flesh off a sinister node (there's one near alpha) and make enough candles to trivialize instability. But but but I was following your centivis guide when I was trying to make that silverwood wand!  If I can just pop some chickens and stuff with my wand in my inventory, then I should be fine to at least make the caps. I just don't want to go node hunting to get the wand charged enough to make the next wand, and then go node hunting some more to get the 75 vis in every aspect I need to bottle a node. At least yesterday I got a bloodwood sapling and was able to kit out my everyday tools.

I'm still a tiny babby when it comes to TC, but you need to have your wand in your hotbar, not just the inventory, and you need to pick up the tiny motes that fall out of dead things you've probably noticed already. Honestly, I have a hell of a time finding terra anywhere, everything else I can boat around for 5 minutes and fill up, but my terra is almost always empty. Can't wait until I get my cV tech up.

Well you might as well smear out the node hunting so you give the nodes the time to regenerate their Vis. I.e. visit the same nodes a couple of times in between you doing other stuff... You're going to be doing it a lot I'm afraid

I want to set up a centivis thing in Blightfall, but after I jarred a node I noticed it was tainted. Is there any way to cleanse the node itself? Or will using it for centivis make it okay? Can I just stick it somewhere out of the way and plant ethereal blooms around it to prevent its influence from spreading? Should I just find a different untainted node?

Should I just find a different untainted node? The transducer will remove the tainted effect in the process of turning it into an energized node. Just keep some ethereal blooms or pure daisies planted nearby just in case it slips some taint out while it's transducing.

I did it guys, I cleared 20%+ of the Savannah! Level 5 Purity (4 Frugal, 1 Enlarge) on top of a 50 vis wand. Frequent trips were made back to the CV setup while a dawn totem was clearing up the Savannah plateau. One village has been purged entirely except for the liquid flux because gently caress clearing that up right now. There's now an open path from the Redwood City waypoint to Dome Beta. I need a better wand.

Should I just find a different untainted node? If you're going to make it a centivis node, it doesn't matter. When the node is ripped open by a transducer it loses its taint aspect. Just have the setup all ready to go, activate the transducer, and be ready to spot-clean the few areas that get tainted with pure daisies, ethereal blooms or a purifying focus.

I think my furnace and alembic are outside of range--including all the extra random essentia jars I filled with one or two units. The range is 5 blocks below the cube, 10 blocks above it. This translates to 3 blocks below the main pedestal, 12 blocks above it. There's only room to put in a headroom-only crawlspace under your altar which you can fill with candles. Or you can just put crystal clusters attached to the ceiling of the room below your infusion altar, which is what I do. It might be a good idea to put your candles slightly elevated near your altar, since infusion problems can spill flux goo, which will displace candles and make things even more unstable. The horizontal distance is 12. Again, wearing goggles will let you see what type of essentia is in the alembic waiting to be taken out. If you have no goggles and there's some essentia in an alembic and you don't know what it is, you can right-click on it with an empty warded jar to pull it out directly. Make an Essentia Funnel to move essentia from jar to jar quickly and without labels. That's in the Thaumic Tinkerer tab, iirc. It's a bit weird to use, as you have to click on the funnel to remove the top jar, rather than the jar.

McFrugal posted:The range is 5 blocks below the cube, 10 blocks above it. This wiki says the opposite: 10 blocks below and 5 blocks above. It would make sense since the cube is raised up, which allows you to have a candle room either above or below the altar. Rocko Bonaparte posted:I definitely screwed that up then. I have to raise up all those candles. You might just need more candles. Someone posted earlier something about like 250 or so candles to have no instability.

VegasShirtGuy posted:You might just need more candles. Someone posted earlier something about like 250 or so candles to have no instability. Correct, as each balanced stabilizer prevents 0.1 instability. Infusion can start with 0 instability up to 10 and then steadily increases up to a maximum of 25 while it is running. Beware though; if a stabilizer is not balanced across both axes, it adds more instability. Sage Grimm fucked around with this message at 20:19 on Aug 25, 2015 |

I wonder if it was changed? I might have to test it. I was curious and went and checked the code. Here's the relevant section of code I got from the decompiler with 4.2.3.5. While the loop is from -5 to 10, it's actually subtracting, so the checked y coordinates are from +5 to -10. Maybe it was a bug and he fixed it later by changing to subtraction, or whoever looked at the code before didn't notice it was subtracting. code:

Sage Grimm posted:Correct, as each balanced stabilizer prevents 0.1 instability. Infusion can start with 0 instability up to 10 and then steadily increases up to a maximum of 25 while it is running. I thought each pair of candles adds 1 stability while something not paired or was junk adds 1 instability with a max of 250. At the start of an infusion it does a roll to decide how much stability or instabiity to add and adds that to the infusion instability and the stability of the alter. As in stability and instability are separate numbers, while instability > stability it will roll on what happens with the frequency and the level of "bad things" depending on the difference between instability and stability.
