Thaumcraft 2 has just updated to 1.2.5 if anyone is interested. New mechanics and items as well.

>Advanced valves let you selectively filter vis/taint
>Less map-ruining Eldritch Monoliths
>Vis Tanks that hold Taint for too long will blow right the fuck up
>Reinforced Vis Tanks don't fare much better
>Taint is even more evil than usual
>Alterations to pipe mechanics cause most systems to be next to useless
>Vis/Taint now follows the path of least resistance to the nearest machine
>Wave bye to your neat, single-file Vis Filter machine

Also, if you want to taint an area, spawn a "tcbhidden" block with too many items (in creative mode, the block is indestructable otherwise) and destroy it. Repeat until maximum taint level is achieved and the world is fucked good and proper.



Also, yes I would also like to know about the explosive bee problem.

[The Merchant Of Menace]

Sir Sengir decided he didn't want Technic using Forestry, rather than asking them to remove it he coded the mod to check for a .techniclauncher folder, if it detected one, you couldn't use the Harvester, you couldn't get rare bee mutations and a new line of "Vengeful" bees were created, when you got them they'd cause blocks to decay and be destroyed randomly around your world.

I kind of want to do that on purpose just for the awesome

Bee breeding will destroy the universe, but the honey is just too delicious!

Mmm, cosmic honey!

True/false question, in Thaumcraft will Silverwood trees grow back, or can you plant them, or get them back in any way?  I found one very near my spawn, and cut it down in minutes because ooh shiny things before I read the manual.  Wondering if I should start looking around for another tree somewhere else in the world to make my home by.

Aside from that it's a lot of fun not having a clue about the brave new world I'm playing in.

Silverwood trees never grow back. The only time they show up is when a chunk spawns for the first time. They never grow either. Silverwood is a finite resource in that it cannot be farmed, much like ore and diamonds

[Sowelu]

I'm wondering if I could plant silverwood stumps and get the same effect...it's probably the leaves that do it though.  Hm.

I'm currently running Thaumcraft and a minimap mod.  Anything else I should be using on 1.2.5?

[Putnam]

I have most of the EE items of power, an infinite supply of IC2 electricity being generated with a volcanite amulet and the very small amount of EMC required to make tin, and all that powering a very-low-IC2-energy quarry.

I feel like I may be bored of this >_>

Now do it again without EE energy collectors and include thaumcraft

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

   My advise with EE is use it for fun, not resources. Basically if you use it to gather things you break the game and make it like creative mode but with lighting. I find the best way to use it is for the fun gadgets. Swift wolfs ring lets you fly, that one ring lets you teleport to where ever you can see, volcanite amulet lets you swim in magma, and a bunch of other items which all do interesting things and they can be used without breaking the game. The only person I have seen who has used everything in EE and not broken the survival feeling of the game is Direwolf and that is because he tries to automate stuff and doesn't seem to realize how broken he has made his game and continues to worry about things like how many diamonds he has.

[forsaken1111]

Honestly, EE is just fine if you play without energy collectors. Getting one of those high end tools is a goddamn challenge when you have to dig up and compact every bit of EMC yourself.

[The Merchant Of Menace]

It's a lot easer now that you can burn stuff directly into EMC in the Transmutation Tablet

[forsaken1111]

Yep, but even with a condenser being fed by several quarries you'll be hard pressed to equal the output of a mark 3 collector array.

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

   Let me ask you this, how much EMC is a MK3 collector worth and how much would a quarry be worth? How does that work out in the end because you can not really just compare things like that unless it is equal.
