I can't help but say that this looks slightly phallic xD

You have a sick mind

I lay claim to this:

Can't do that. You have to be there in order to do it. Ingame.

Thats a witch hunt, which is really rare, and will naturally spawn witches.

You ve gotta go there on the server and place Signs

what are those square structures in the cave world?

No idea. I ain't going there ever again.

Yes, no claiming lands just by looking at the map. Go there in game when you can. First come first served.

The square structures in the cave world are likely the Mystcraft libraries, they appear in all ages:

However, be warned of going to the Cave World surface. Some say it's rather... hot. Hot enough to set you on fire. Should you die, it's even hot enough to set your dropped items on fire and burn them away to nothingness. Best to stay below the surface methinks.

Another reason TO NOT GO TO THE CAVEWORLD

I hated the cave survival.

I would love to explore now

Whitelist might be enabled now...., try it out!

Whelp. Looks like the new Main Tower of the Accords is going to be built in an ocean.

Anyone have a Respiration/Aqua Affinity helmet they'd like to donate?

So i just got everything from my ender chest.
And now i'm really happy i got everything and now i need to find a place to live now

Already? How?

I'm thinking arctic castle this time, or possibly continuing my swampy hut theme.

Minium stone
I went into the twilight forest = quick resources

I've steathily claimed the witches hut and the northern wasteland on behalf of the Harem.

One of the mystcraft huts in the mining age is also ours.

Aaaand the harem has enderchests!

ITs not hard to get one :/

For some reason I can't seem to make iron arcane keys, is this a bug?

Good lord! That was quick. Shame I've not made it on yet. I've spotted a starting place though, so I don't think I'll be far behind.

I could do with an explanation of Flux. I intend to use Lightningrods as a reliable source of power, by deliberately Flux-ing up the area around me. Will this affect the rest of the world, or will it be purely local?

Yes. Yes it will
Flux is global (the environmental changes). And you need a certain recipe in order to create a lightning storm. Lets not generate that much flux. Biofuel, or geothermal fuel are just as reliable and more renewable and readily excessible.

We are not going to dump flux into the environment again. Because this will spawn more wisps and creatures that we do not want to have. Such as a mobs being able to resist sunlight, sicknesses and many other things. I suggest a better alternative,

Flux is bad. The purer the node the better the environment will be and the less amounts of mobs we have to deal with.

Have you discovered warded doors/arcane pressure plates?

Also I plan on making my chambers a thaumcrafters dream as i have a ton of warded jars.

Righto, I'll not then.

Also anyone like the start of my mansion in the north?

Please not i am going to change out the blue with red and build up and across.Making a sort of stilt structure.

I plan on as a joke just making a massive wall of ice.

Also tip:surround a single iron ignot with glass and you will have glass viewers that are resistant to creeper explosions and are extremely awesome to use as they all connect to make a giant frame, they are also able to be recollected without silk touch.
(Btw the village is mine)

Not sure about the iron arcane keys. Have you researched them yet? Do they need to be crafted on the arcane worktable or on the infusion altar? Got vis?

Also want to point out some evil evil changes I have made to the default config of the server.

Nukes disabled (as before)

Portal gun moon shot doesn't vacuum blocks (as before)

Mystcraft writing desk, book binder, link modifier, age book and instability disabled (as before)

Cave Age now has a scorched surface (already mentioned, but thought it needed saying again to warn you - don't take precious items up there!)

ExtraBiomesXL set to the Ultimate SinglePlayer selection of biomes (removes alpine, extreme jungle, forested island, glacier, green swamp, ice wasteland, marsh, mountain taiga, redwood forest, shrubland, snowy forest, snowy rainforest, temperate rainforest, tundra). This removes redundant (forest, snow) and buggy (marsh) biomes that make it harder to find vanilla biomes and so now things like bees, volcanoes, thaumcraft structures etc are more abundant.

Portal gun and Gravity gun prevented from picking up mob spawners - this encourages use of the Soul Shards mod

Minium stone now has less durability - this is because a minium stone coupled with an igneous extruder or tree farm (or any item farm) was quite a bit overpowered. I haven't disabled the minium stone, just reduced the number of uses you get before it breaks. On the test server I got over a stack and a half of minium shards without even going through an eighth of my first minium stone's durability - and I rarely left spawn. EE3 is still under development, so I will keep checking on this as further balancing occurs.

Yeah I agree with the minum stone. But seeing as I have like 20 of them in one of my canvas bags. Doesn't really affect me all that much.

Though when i get back from school i will probably begin construction of my house.

Also darknnit do golems still fall through the world?

Probably, but see this thread for many many other ways golems can vanish or die.

Also looks like Azanor (the developer) is waiting on Minecraft 1.5 for releasing the next update, plus some interesting ideas on the direction Thaumcraft is heading here - http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1705283-thaumcraft-31-not-4/

EDIT ("Not sure" changed to "Probably")

Im going to lay claim to the grassy plain South West of spawn. I have put up signs of habitation about the plain in game to let people know.

Ummm i appear to have got myself in a mighty pickle.

I went into the Cave Age to see what it was like, died (obviously) and then for some reason it spawned me really deep not next to the portal...

So i have no idea where i am and am stuck in an infinite death loop!

Can someone at least tell me the coordinates of the portal in the cave age? Or is there any way to get back to spawn in the overworld?

I have researched warded blocks and I can make gold keys, just not iron...

One way I could see using Lightning Rods for power with a Fluxe'd up atmosphere would be putting your power generator in the Cave World- If you make sure it's the proper kind of Flux (Visum) and you're certain it's going into a specific Node (you'll need the lightning rods to be within 4 blocks of the affected node) you should only get Lightning Strikes. Since Storms and Lightning only really affect the surface, and the Cave World surface is deadly dangerous anyways...

Similarly, apparently some Flux effects are actually somewhat beneficial- Saxum, Metallum and Machina give Speed, Jump Boost, and Resistance, respectively- however, I think this also goes to Mobs, so if you're going to be doing this, make sure it's in an area that's away from mob action/well lighted.

It's still a bad idea, but some kinds of Flux are less bad than others.
