Upgrade your Magnetostatics. A single one should be able to max out multiple Extractors, I believe.

Reika is there any way to make your biome collision tracker track ALL biome collisions and then crash while showing the full list? It's rather tedious to fix only one collision at a time, waiting for MC to restart and then crash again...

In the northern hemisphere, the sun doesn't pass directly overhead at noon. Instead it passes slightly to the south...

I sort of want to see warding return in tc 5, but rather than being a bedrock mode on/off switch it could be sort of like a force field with hitpoints?

As I understand it, the purpose of the shielding is to prevent neutrons from travelling away from the reactor and disturbing other blocks/players/mobs. Personally I don't have a problem with the shield blocks themselves being irradiated, just as long as I can contain the radiation to a manageable area. Clearly this is not everyone's cup of tea though.

As a sidenote, are the radiation googles craftable or lootable in survival? Or are they a creative-only thing?

Question Regarding Electricraft, as I just got into it earlier today.

I know the batteries can only output a certain amount, but how about input? Say I'm shoving ~4gw through 1 generator into my auroral battery, is all the power getting into it? When transducer the wire i get 524288V and 7968A (or the 4~ gw of power).

Second question, I know you can reduce the amps going through via resistors, and you can change amps to volts with the transformer, albeit at a loss of efficiency, and requiring liquid nitrogen to keep it from exploding when it is being powered by the Auroral battery. The question becomes, why would you not convert electric power to shaft, do conversions with gearboxes, then convert back to electricraft for specific needs other than torque (as the speed converter seems highly inefficient in everything but size since it is a single block, but also extremely dangerous as when it goes, it takes a large area with it). This is mainly just me asking if I'm doing this correctly

I bet! In the world of Minecraft, that's probably the closest you can get to non-Euclidean geometry - I like it

All you need now is some sort of "madness" effect when you look at it... *chuckles evilly*

Some form of pump to "flush" them with air or something is the most obvious idea to me.

Bonus points if it vents the plasma up into the air in a sweet looking torch effect.

"After using Alchemical Brass for nearly the whole duration of my studies, I feel like I could step things up, especially now after having put it to so many practical applications. Looking through a wide variety of items, I've noticed that Potions and many Alchemical blocks and items contain a very peculiar aspect not mentioned in the old scrolls and books of olden thaumaturges: Alkimia. With Thaumium using Praecantatio and Ordo to enhance Iron beyond any mundane state, why not use Alkimia to enhance Brass a step further? I have dubbed this new substance Alkimium, and it serves to be more suited for alchemical items than plain brass."

"One of the first concepts I've drawn up with this new metal in mind is an upgrade to the Alchemical Furnace, replacing the brass on the inside and out with Alkimium, giving it a little boost in processing speed and a lower probability of turning a unit of essentia into Flux. In fact, Essentia seems much more stable in the presence of Alkimium. Perhaps this property can be explored further."

"Another idea I had while designing it was for a Centrifuge that would always produce both halves of a compound aspect every time it performed a centrifuging operation. This "Advanced" Centrifuge should prove useful when trying to centrifuge aspects down into a specific lower aspect, rather than making it a coin flip."

"Perhaps Alkimium can even be used as a Golem material. Brass sure seemed to work fine as a light and elegant material, but what will Alkimium give to these little mechanical assistants? After further study, it seems that golems built from Alkimium will move more swiftly... But something feels strange about their movements."

"Infusing a pair of Goggles with some Alkimium nuggets and a little extra Alkimia essentia has attuned them to the actions of my Alkimium-enhanced devices, and Essentia tubing. When looking at an Alchemical Furnace with Alkimium, I will see the stats for how many items it can cook with the fuel currently placed within, as well as its current processing speed, and the overall likelyhood that Flux will be released into the Aura. When looking at a tubeless essentia relay, it will display it's maximum range. When looking at a Jar of any sort, it will show me how much suction the jar currently has."

WHAT YEAR IS IT? What's going on? What has awakened me from my slumb- By the gods. Thaumcraft 6?!

Cough cough- but, ah, yes. Hello. Been a while. I finally took the plunge with all that Twitch merge nonsense specifically to say:

PLEASE for the love of all that is eldritch and unknowable, Azanor, PLEASE don't throw out all the work you've done on Golems!

I love the wisp idea, I really do, but I wholeheartedly believe they would be better suited for seperate tasks.

Take the third option and have them both!! Each with different strengths. Golems, you can customize deeply with the in-place systems, you can take with you on journeys as guards, etc, and can be repurposed and perform multiple tasks, while maybe wisps have to be specialized, and are always bound to a specific area.

And, well, let's face it. Most of us love the little guys, as derpy as they can be.

However, this also gave me a thought... Currently, it's not really explained why the Infusion Altar and the like can just pull essentia through the air, before even the Thaumaturge that built it has learned how to do so. This could potentially be remedied with wisps. What I mean is, require a wisp to o the transportation of essentia through the air. It would help balance infusion, making it take a bit more to get set up than the low costs of the arcane stone, and would help keep the other remote essentia transport options, such as the essentia mirror and the remote essentia... thingies... erh... i forget what they're called... but- ah, it would keep those more balanced too. And I believe it makes lore sense too, since the Wisps seem to contain raw vis and essentia. Using Wisps like this, as basic essentia transport, could even be what later brings up the idea of using them for more complex tasks. Something like:

Wisp Studies

Step 1: "As the Infusion Matrix is rather animated, piping essentia into it would take a feat of engineering that I simply can't afford the time and resources to achieve, and even then, the liquid would simply flow over it and evaporate back into the aura. I need something that can take the liquid Essentia and convert it into a form that the Matrix can absorb more readily. I have seen Wisps: Semi-corporeal, seemingly intelligent masses of vis, and I believe I could potentially capture and tame them into transporting essentia to the Matrix."

Complete: "Eureka! I have managed to create a Wisp Lantern, a device that contains and stabilizes a Wisp into a more incorporeal realm. This renders it invisible without a Thaumometer or Goggles of Revealing, and unable to be harmed, but also unable to harm. The wisp seems to naturally gravitate to disturbances in balance like a moth to the light. I can use this, as the Infusion Matrix attempts to draw in essentia, the wisp will naturally look for high sources of the missing, pure essentia, such as my warded jars, and bring it to fill the gap in the Matrix. The wisp seems content to do this, and otherwise simply lounges around the lantern. They are fascinating creatures... Assuming they can be classified as creatures."

Wisp Expansion

Step 1: "Since my delve into Golemancy, I have found the ancient art to be complex, and sometimes unreliable. The more I increase the intellect of the Golems, the more they think for themselves, which is counterproductive to the mundane tasks I assign them to complete. In addition, their sense of direction needs work. That said, in a moment of brilliance (just one of many I seem to be experiencing lately), I have figured out a solution! I have already tamed wisps in an incorporeal plane, and they have already shown some form of intellect. I believe I may be able to modify a Control Seal so that it may be placed on a Wisp Lantern, and instruct the Wisp's rudimentary intellect to do my bidding far more efficiently and reliably than Golems, with the additional benefit of not tripping over the little things every time I walk through a door, and not needing to worry at the weird way the more intelligent ones stare at me when they think I'm not looking."

Complete: "I have done it! With this upgrade to a control seal, I can now instruct Wisps rather than Golems. How the Thaumaturges of the past never thought of this, I will never understand. I mean, honestly... Wands, Golems, I am beyond such things! In addition to being able to perform many, but not all of the same tasks as Golems, I have found that using these seals, I can also manipulate the Wisp's insinctual attraction to essentia inbalance to make them into a effective transport system for essentia without the need for pipes!

I have dubbed this new area of study "Wispomancy", however the name is subject to change and open to suggestion. It certainly doesn't roll off the tongue as well as Golemancy... Perhaps I should look into constructing a better tongue for myself..."

(also I would like to bring your attention to my less-specific, more general thoughs and ideas a few posts below this)

falling like a brick from the sky? lol. I tried flying up to y=1500 already.

Now try the other side.
