It seemes to not work properly with MCpatcher. When I force update minecraft, patch it with MCpatcher, then install the mod, the game goes into blackscreen. However, if I do not use MCpatcher, it works fine, just that the tubes are a bit "invisible". Transperant.. hmmf..
Is it possible to use texture packs with this mod? :-)
Just place the zip of my mod in the mods directory.
I think the invisible textures are caused by Optifine. Play with your settings abit if you have it installed.
You know, you might as well allow cobble to be thrown in the cauldron. Egg farms are way more lucrative in terms of thaum, anyways, especially if you have buildcraft installed.
I've two pipes coming off every farm, one feeding into a dispenser powered by a pulser, the others are piped into my cauldron. Not only is it easy, but it actually produces more thaum the longer you leave it alone.

Melon farms work just as well, and are less noisy. :laugh.gif:
Cobble generators are just too easy to make. I want people to put a little effort in, even if it only to automate the creation of smoothstone from cobble.
I have a suggestion. Consider adding a "loopback" button to the thaumic duplicator, which will automatically feed items back into the input until the 3X3 grid is full.
I was planning on doing that - or possibly just a button that keeps the source item in the input slot.
Wow, this mod is awesome! And it works so well, it doesn't break my game like BTW or Twilight Forest. However, I don't really know what to do with this stuff - shouldn't there be a way to craft crystallized thaum, considering it is used in so many of the recipes? Maybe using the infuser on a diamond...
Anyway, great work!
A crystalized thaum generator has been on my to-do list since day 1, but I keep getting distracted by shinier things.
yeah, could really use a way to make crystallized thaum, seeing as its needed for most of the important recipes.
also, an idea: a health "dispenser" that converts thaum into health. might be a nice workaround for people that are having trouble getting health potions

Idk I kind of liked having to figure out where to get my first few pieces of crystallized thuam, and once you make an infusion mold, which only take one, you can always get a bunch more by tossing singularities about. If you do make a crystallized thuam generator it should be expensive to make or something.
Either way though I would still love the mod. I've been checking back almost twice a day to see if anything new has been posted.

Oh, don't worry about that. The crystal generator will more than likely require several crystals in its construction along with other expensive items. It will basically just make getting crystals easier once you are already able to get a reliable supply via other means. It will spare you having to wack slimes or fill the countryside with craters.
As to updates:
I'm working on several large additions to the mod that requires quite a bit of work and bug testing. There won't be an update for at least a week (possibly two).
Can I suggest something?
Looking at the devastating power of the Thaumic Singularities, I think they could be made into a tool.
For the tool, you "charge" it with thaum for it to work, it has very few uses before needing to be recharged.
When you activate the tool, you will be forced to stand still. The blocks around you (or only those in the direction you're facing?) starts breaking and is dragged towards you (Like how they are dragged to the explosion when using the singularity). After an effect of... say, 10 seconds, you can move like normal again with an inventory full of blocks!
Um... magical.
EDIT: Another suggestion?
From what I've heard, the Arcane tinkering tools still have no use yet. Considering the "Thaumic radiation" thing, I think we should be able to "harvest" the radiation and produce Crystallized thaum.

That is a pretty good idea. I was thinking on some way of doing harvesting/mining.
The tinkering tools do have a use in that they are simply a template item for the infuser. I'm going to allow you to use them to rotate certain of my blocks like the spanner in buildcraft or the screwdriver in RP2.
I've actually just finished creating a block to do the crystal harvesting. More accurately, the condenser isn't going to harvest thaum directly anymore. The thaum it harvests is now converted into thaum crystals instead. I was never quite happy with the thaum-for-nothing idea and while it is still there, it has been toned down.
You can always smelt the crystals for thaum if you want to.
I can't seem to be able to build the Arcane Tinkering Tools or the fabric. Not sure why. Even the thaumic crucible isn't a "shapeless" recipe, it requires that the crystallized thaum be in the middle with a bowl directly above and below it. What could be the problem?
Hm. I'll only say that I hope you get the same weird-ass forum bugs that I'm getting.

That would be cool. I have a large amount so far, but I am trying to max out the amount that minecraft can handle. Lol.
Just place the zip of my mod in the mods directory.

FWIW I was able to install this with MC Patcher, no problem.

That's the patern i've noticed. Slime chunks, they only seem to be able to spawn in slime chunks, and are limited 1 to each slime chunk.
BTW what i said before was a joke >.> I just wanted to make a play on words on how much i hated btw.

Cool vid :smile.gif: It's going in he op.
I love it, I love the portable hole xD
Please help my dragons!

Same here, I keep checking back just in case there's an off chance of an update.

before or after installing the mod?
Also, if I say, use a texcurepack 124x124, can I just drag your texcure folder Thaumcraft into my other texture zip?
Thanks in advance :-)
