I decided to throw together a mini modpack for the new Thaumcraft beta, but it's crashing every time I try to make a crucible from a cauldron. Kind of a roadblock to progression. Anyone know if this is a known thing or if there's a workaround?

That was not the case a week ago, but the latest Thaumcraft beta version literally came out today, and I haven't tried it. The version before today's had a crash when trying to make a spell focus, so it's very much a work in progress, and it's quite possible that it's just a bug in the progression. I assume since it's a mini modpack you made yourself there's not likely to be any goofy mod interaction issues to blame.

That said, once you turn a cauldron into a Crucible, the Crucible itself is a block like any other that can be mined up with a pickaxe and placed in the usual way, so you can probably work around it by just throwing away your salis mundus and spawning yourself a crucible through the command console or JEI.

How do I get epiphanies? It's holding me back from a bunch of research on fundamentals atm.

Scan a bunch of stuff with your thaumometer. If you scan a chest it scans everything in the chest, so you get a ton of observations and good odds at an epiphany.

I'm fine with it in Stoneblock 2 as by the time I managed all of this I pretty much ran out of normal poo poo to do.

I still have Thaumcraft and might just install Astral Sorcery since I never played with it and I enabled RFTools dimensions so I plan on going dimension hopping so I'll have a sky.

To get into Astral Sorcery requires exploring pregenerated structures. I dunno if RFTools dimensions can generate those, but if they can, make sure yours does.

Isn't Thaumcraft unfinished and abandoned?

Any advice on how big a Thaumcraft section of a base should be? The embers room is already pretty big and now that actually going deeper into thaum I'm gonna dedicate a section of my underground base to it.

Also debating just building a wizard tower.

I like a 3-4 story wizard house with 11x11 floorspace minimum, although I tend to go a bit more so I can have clear walkways around the work areas. You may also end up making a small hut in a magical forest biome to make use of the strong aura there for a couple crafting stations, although those don't need any infrastructure around them.
