What are your thoughts on this?

I dont know the mechanics of the "node like things" you would be implementing but if there is not too much world gen stuff in the planned update, I would like to cast my vote for doing the 1.5.1 update. This might give you a little more time to flush out some more ideas on how to implement some of your stuff you are thinking of adding.

Thanks for the update Soaryn. Looking forward to trying all the new awesomeness.

Every new iteration of Thaumcraft has me a little worried. Thaumcraft 1 was good, what was wrong with it? Not a lot, but it was blown out of the water by Thaumcraft 2. Ugh, Azanor is changing thaumcraft again? I dont want to lose all the neat thaumcraft 2 stuff, it cant be better and for what? Golems? How useful can they be?... quite useful as it turned out. As Azanor has shown me time and time again, he knows what he is doing and every version is better than the last. I am much less worried these days. Keep up the good work, I dont doubt that I will be blown away yet again.

Soaryn,

I am sorry so many people are taking out their frustrations on you. You are doing good, I know you wont sacrifice quality just because a bunch of people on the internet with ADD and too much free time are vocal about wanting things "NOW". We are all just excited about Xycraft machines coming out. It is a good thing that so many people are waiting for something so impatiently, it means that you programmed something so desirable that people cant wait for more.

Just know that there are mature, patient people in the community that know you are doing what you can to make a great mod. I am just sorry we are often less vocal than people who are not. Keep on keeping on and all that good stuff. Dont let naysayers get you down.

I realise I've been a bit quiet lately, but RL has been keeping me very busy. I'm in the process of building a house and between that and work I haven't been able to spend much time modding or reading the forums.

However I'm still alive and kicking and working on TC whenever I get the chance.

You are great Azanor. Thanks for keeping us posted.

Well, I got the last couple trees I was having trouble breeding. Had trouble with the last 2 since they required being in a specific biome.

Quote from NessTea123

Oh god yes please.

Do you have ThaumicBees? There is nothing on the interwebs on bee combinations but the 2 in this guide.

There are these (posted for those that dont ever check spoilers)



Occult Branch
Imperial + Demonic or heroic + demonic = Esoteric
Esoteric + Ender = Mysterious
Mysterious + Esoteric = Arcane
(This line drops Occult combs)

Coeleste Branch
Cultivated + Valiant = Charmed (Havent double checked this yet)
Charmed + Valiant = Enchanted
Charmed + Enchanted = Supernatural
(This line drops Otherworldly combs)

Docto Branch
Enchanted + arcane = Pupil
Pupil + Arcane = Scholarly
Pupil + Scholarly = Savant

Arcane + Supernatural = Stark
This now requires research in the thaumonomicon

These require a second set of research in the thaumonomicon
Magic* Princes/drone + fire/water/earth shard = Ignis/Aqua/Solum princess/drone
Magic* drone + Vis Shard = Praecantatio drone (seems to only work with drones)
*Magic bees are bees from the Coeleste Branch or occult branch

??? + ??? = Batty (has a batty effect that spawns bats it used to crash the server, so i bred it out. Is it still glitched?)
Demonic + Edenic = Aware


Tree Breeding
Apple Oak + Birch = Silver Lime
Silver Lime + Apple Oak (or Silver Birch) = Hill Cherry (Both apple oak and silver birch work)
Hill Cherry + Silver Lime = Common Walnut
Common Walnut + Hill Cherry = Sweet Chestnut

Red Spruce + Apple Oak = Mundane Larch
Mundane Larch + Red Spruce = Bull Pine
Bull pine + Mundane Larch = Sequoia

Jungle + Silver Lime = Teak
Jungle + Teak = Kapok
Kapok + Teak = Myrtle Ebony
Kapok + Myrtle Ebony = Yellow Meranti

Balsa + Desert Acacia = Wenga (sorry, found these in chests)
Balsa + Wenga = Grandidier's Baobab

MysteriousAges, any hints on what the new bee species are?

A friend and I have a server which we have been trying to balance magic and science. He was adding a major mod and I was tempted to add this mod for the magic side. I would only want to do this if it did not generate new hostile mobs in the overworld (we have enough with ars magica mages). Are there hostile mobs that spawn from this in the overworld, and if so, is there a way to vastly lower the spawn rate?

Is a Tree Breeding tree going to be added soon?

I have some info on that. I think Han is going to update the OP soon...ish

I seemed to have only moderate success with rural, but for some reason cultivated worked really well for me. Could just be luck though.

Quote from Serah Wint

I must be doing something wrong with the tree breeding.
I have one mutation after 10 hours of active bees in the area ( 9 of them)

What exacly counts as a tree for the mod?
Ive been collecting leafs with a shear and have put them up in a controlled lab environment.

Grow real trees. I dont think sheared leaves work (leaves sheared by players behave differently than leaves spawned naturally). What is the pollination speed of your bees?

Quote from QuinKyber

It'll take me a bit of time but I'll do what I can. Lucky you finding an acacia sapling then.

Thanks. I know it is a lot more work for you to double check my work than it is for me to. If you would rather try and find those last couple trees I can always go back instead and redo that breeding trial.

Quote from QuinKyber

I can confirm Jungle and Silver Lime mutating into Teak, Jungle and Teak mutating into Kapok, Silver Birch and Apple Oak mutating into Silver Lime, and Red Spruce and Apple Oak mutating into Mundane Larch. Lucky you finding a Wenga sapling.

Thanks for double checking my stuff. I found the desert acacia and the balsa in chests (technically my GF found them for me) in the twilight forest and bred the wenga myself. I was just lucky in my guess that they would breed together. If you get a chance, double check which tree breeds with the wenga, either the balsa or the acacia.

Quote from FliingDuck

your awesome for putting this up

No problem, glad to help. This guide was great for me when I was just getting started. Now that I know bees, I figured I would help back and contribute.

Quote from kylania

How do you get the Silver Lime? I have Apple Oak + Silver Birch, but I just get Apple Oak-Silver Birth hybrids instead of Silver Lime. This is from two colors of leaves after three RL days of trying.

Most of the time you will get hybrids, there is a rare chance (10% I have heard) that instead of getting a hybrid, you get a new species (if you combine the right trees). Keep it up, I know it is slow. I have had more luck with cultivated bees (extra bees dont breed well with trees. that took me a LONG time to figure out). Build more apiaries or breed for faster pollination if you are tired of waiting.

Alright, I have another update with Thaumic bees as well as new forestry tree breeding. It would be really really helpful if some other people could double check the ones i have posted as not sure of. I also know I am missing some Thaumic bees. I have been doing more tree breeding and doing a little less bees, so any information on the Thaumic bees I am missing would be greatly appreciated.

Here is the info:

So far, there are these:

I may post one or two more before the update.

You are so good to us. Thanks for responding to my request
