Well, I settled on O2 canisters for the emeralds in my lore. :3
Reasoning: The Masked have difficulty with breathing normal air, which is why they wear gasmasks, but they have to take off the masks sometimes (definitely for eating, and I would think for more intimate encounters). So, they use compressed oxygen to help their weakened lungs when not wearing the masks indoors, not to mention helping them have enough stamina when 'farming' and such. Since separating hydrogen and oxygen from water is a child's science experiment (and they buy chemical batteries in the form of charcoal), it's not hard to refill the canisters, but the airtight canisters themselves hold some value as a manufactured pre-war item. Since coccoons in mountainous regions had less access to surface oxygen, emergency O2 supplies were stored deep underground in case insufficient decontaminated air could be processed from the surface. Enterprising survivors can take the O2 canisters from these caches and use them to trade with Masked. With enough air filtration technology, one can also craft a working air purifier (emerald block) to keep their wasteland stronghold safe from lingering radiation and polluted atmosphere. This can be used in conjunction with other machine components (beacon pyramid) to produce a healthy environment for a H.I.V.E. survivor.
yeah i think this explanation for the emerald ore makes a lot more sense than the old one. also like how it explains how you come to find them in the H.I.V.E.s
What should the various remaining plants form thaumraft be? I have the silverwood finished but im not sure what the other ones should be.
well theres the silverpearl plants that grow under the silverwood trees, they could hold some form of mercury based coolant for the trees
theres cinderpod, a plant that grows in the desert, gives blaze powder. it could be some kind of debris that contains trace ammounts of helium 3
and the Greatwood trees, ermmm, they could be a variety of real tree that was sturdy enough to survive the devastation, but the effects have turned the wood of the tree hard and unprocessable, giving it the name Ironwood or something like that
Hmm. One thing that you could put on the LAST DAYS site is a section for texture patches, much like bdcraft.net has. This would serve basically the same purpose. People can start up requests for patches, and those competent and capable enough who also feel up to the task can do so. Once finished, they can start up a post there to release their patch for whatever mod they're adding support to.
That seems like one of the more obvious choices, so you may have already thought of this. Apologies if I'm suggesting nothing new.
Next, a lore page or set of pages. This lore page(s) would be an archive of sorts of the events transpired up to now that explain much of why the world has fallen into such ruin.
If I think of anything more, I'll post it. I'm a bit tired at the moment.

have you been ban before: not that i can recall
mod your best at: IndustrialCraft/Thaumcraft
Why we should let you on the server: I've been looking for a FTB based server to play on for a while, and will help out as much as i can around.
Which mods are you most familiar with in the pack?: IndustrialCraft-Thaumcraft- Buildcraft- RailCraft- RedPower
Do you have Skype? (Not manditory): srgnoodles
A minimum five sentence paragraph about why you should be allowed on the server along with a bit about yourself: I've been looking for a nice server to play on. This is actually the first FTB server i've found in a while, and I'd like to help out a relatively new server. I'm quite experienced with IC2 and Thaumcraft, and will gladly help anyone who needs advice with those as well as any other mods people might be new to. I might not get advanced machinery set up for a while, as i tend to focus much more on building and making things look nice than legittimate functionality in my homes/bases in minecraft. But all together i'll try to be as helpfull as I can around the server.
On a scale of 1-10, how mature would you say you are?: 7.5
Have you ever been banned from a server? If so why? (I will be doing background checks): Not that i can recall
Being a fan of Mindcrack is important, so who created the power plant on the Mindcrack FTB server?: Nebris
Would you be willing to help chip-in for server costs should it be absolutely necessary?: Don't really have much moneys, but i will help if i must.
Is it just me or is the water, lava, fire, compass,and clock broken? I get a white background with the text "missing texture missing texture" for them. nothing seemed to be mentioned in the last three pages about this.
install optifine or use the HD patcher my good sir
Hey, mostly people! I'm back with some of the latest news from Blackwater
-is the lore page still being updated? i haven't seen anything new up there lately-
but anyway, onward with the new stuff
PulseFire Laser: (Mining Laser)
Ah now here's a real beauty, no longer must you fumble around with those old fashioned Fire Arms and their clumsy bolts, by redirecting the energy discharges from the charge rod to a high voltage, this weapon fires highly concentrated bolts of energy capable of burning through anything from sheet metal to bandits. it even comes with many different configurations for the discharge strength and pattern, making the versetile PulseFire well worth the investment. although due to the high concentraton of the beams, it does use a lot of energy really quickly and must be recharged often
SurgeBlade Sabre (Nano-Sabre)
Looking for something with a bit more finesse? Using the same designs from the PulseFire but reconfiguring the beam emitters, they have created a new melee weapon. at first looking like a simple blade, turning the SurgeBlade on charges the blade with high energy particles, effectively making it a beam sword with a metal core.
Flak Vest (Composite Armor)
although not necessarily new technology, this salvaged bulletproof vest is of Pre-Event millitary technology and provides excellent resistance to explosives of most kinds, so now you can go laugh at those huggatrons as they blow up, although they probably won't understand you, seeing as their voice processors have been missing for ages...
Along with these millitant technologies, explorers from around Blackwater have been finding strange alien artifacts and reserch has had some startling breakthroughs.(thaumcraft lore incoming)
Alien Atrifacts (Elemental Shards)
while exploring deep in the old H.I.V.E.s,some scavengers found strange glowing shards imbedded in the walls, obviously out of place, these shards were taken up to the Academy for research, and were found to be of alien origin, not much is known about them except that they seem to come in red, yellow, green, blue and purple colours, although the difference between them is not known.
Eldrian Rod (Apprentice Wand)
through experimentation, the shards were found to have a strange otherworldly power flowing through them, binding these shards to rods with gold, scientists managed to find a way to direct this power, although not very efficiently. Still much is to be learned of these aliens (nicknamed the Eldrich) and what they left behind.
Elemental Composition( Essentia and Crucible)
By directing the power from the Rod at an ordinary cauldron(they were getting rather desperate to find something that it would work on) the cauldron was transformed into a strange device that, when heated, seperated anything thrown into them down into it's basic elemental composition.

heres something that seems like it would fit the theme of living in the Last Days world
Let us smell the flowers
And let us run the hills
Let us climb the trees
And fish from the river so deep!
Watch the skies and sunlight so bright
Never a storm, much less a worry
A land where anything can happen
Never to leave, never to die
It is not Heaven
It is your mind.
Yet my flowers wither
And hills turn grey
Trees are dying
Rivers gone astray
The sky turned dark, the sunlight is gone
Storms are brewing, worries along
My land dwells in darkness
Never to leave, never to die
It is not Hell
This is the truth.
