Quickhaven 6/6 to 6/7 - tesseracts & thaum

22:00 - MF farm had 41 raw beef, take em, plus 10 from my HQ.  Somehow down to just one cow, so breeding is out.  Also grab all my wheat (2x64+9).  Book link to Auckland, got 3 emeralds for my beef (and ran out), then 4 emerald for wheat after which the emeralds couldn't be pulled out of the UI.  New deals available, but they're both sell offers.  I wish villagers were more useful, but I have yet to see even one block of emerald ore in this world.  The villagers in the temple are offering 9 or 10 cookies for an emerald (sucks) or one bookshelf for 3 emeralds (horrible).  Grabbed 27 cans of oil while I was in the area, restocked with empty cans.  Quickly explored beyond village, just vanilla forest on one side and grassy fields full of sheep.  Grabbed 63 oil cans, added 32 empties, booklinked to twilight forest settlement.

Still no goods in my grinder trap at the labyrinth where the radar fills with mobs.  Sounds like most of the action is inside the bedrock-lined room.  I heard zombies dying, some creepers exploding, and cows (Minotaurs I assume) huffing in my ear.  But none ever goes within 5x5 in front of my trap?  Minor mining on the way back to village.  Checked out Andy's house, big and pretty but empty - needs something going on inside.  Another quick mining run on way back to linkbook room.  Found 4 diamond ore.  Back home at Quickhaven, dropped off goods -- town oil tank is FULL at 720b -- 4 diamond ore in grinder = 9 diamonds.  Good.  Time to start on some tesseracts!

22:57 - 2 tesseract frames done.  Drop nikolite in mass fab, drop scrap in electric craftingtable (x9 mode) = 3 scrapboxes: got a stick, a scrap (haha) and a lazurite dust.  23:05 - liquid lab: the 2 new redstone energy cells are fully charged, but crescent hammer is in my other pants.  So handy that I have exactly 2000mB of molten ender on tap - filled up my tesseract frames.  Dropped some redstone in one crucible, netherrack in the other (setup to make obsidian).  Off to ore lab, pulv/cook iron, pulv obsidian and lead to make 16 hardened glass.  Made 4 pneumatic servos.  Went to make an item tesseract, nothing happened.  Is this Unattuned tesseract not the right thing?  Another step maybe?  no, it's 3 tin + 2 silver, not 3 silver + 2 tin.  Darn ingots all look the same.  Okay (23:21) - 2 item tesseracts DONE.

23:40 - Setup one item tesseract in my basement barrel storage room, set to frequency 101 "SV Storage", Recieve only.  Took some tinkering to figure this out, but it will automatically output to a pipe, into a new gold chest.  I ran to bottom of stairs, setup the other tesseract, chose the same frequency, set to Send.  It won't take items from an adjacent chest, but I could pipe them in from chest with one wooden pipe and an autarchic gate.  Now I can stay down there and mine, dump stuff in chest, and yes it all appears in the gold chest up top.  Nice!

00:14 - There are probably more efficient ways to do all that, but I wanted to test a tesseract, so I did.  Filled about 3 rows in my gold chest above, and my on-hand inventory.  I was going to say that my old lava tank was full with 288b of lava, but then I accidentally broke a corner of it digging underneath.  But no problem, I replaced the corner, came up and r-clicked the Item IO block, and the tank was back in action, still with 288b of lava inside.  Ores: 2 monazit, 13 Al, 4 ruby, 34 coal, 4 cinnabar, 14 RS, 5 diamond (+ 2 diamond gems), 1 W, 6 galena, 3 U, 7 Nik, 3 Fer, 13 Fe.  Grind the 5 D ore = 12 diamonds.  Grind 60 coal ore ... 207 coal.

Anyway, I'll probably figure out a good use of a tesseract network while trying to sleep later tonight.  Need to get off the computer, do some other stuff.

6/7

Short after dinner break.  Mob spawner/grinder - add two more tanks, bail out full tank of mob essence with bucket, a bit surreal.  Run a batch of magma cubes.  Grab 2 stacks of ender pearls, use 4 to make a safari net (I lost my last one while drowning), run the other 28 in magma crucible for future tesseracts.

Prepped for ghast-hunting trip.  Stowed my expensive power tools and batpack.  Make 3 fire resist potions and a bow.  Grabbed arrows from my grinder chest on the way down.  Made 4 iron blocks, grab a pumpkin.  Booklinked to the Man Castle in the nether.  Made an iron golem to keep the piggies out -- and with the main room having fairly narrow halls, he won't be able to bugger off, and won't drown in lava.  Wow, after all my lava pumping, there's a massive flow of lava flow down there (the gate and first lengths of tunnel areup inside a floating peninsula of netherrack), strange pattern with upwellings and large recessed zones, must be 30x30 or disturbed fluids.

A fairly dull hunt.  I did nail on ghast over that big field of soul sand, then chased down some ores.  Planted a tree.  Went up on roof of the Man Castle but a ghast attacked super close and I just went into a spin, almost fell off the building.  I also tried to leap up and head but him and catch him in my safari net, but no good.  Fire everywhere.  Even with fire resistance potions it was a mess.  Couldn't target anything, had to duck & run.  Anyway, I got: dusts (62 sphalarite, 7 Zn, 58 pyrite), yello garnet, one ghast tear, 3 gunpowder, 52 netherrack, 24 soul sand, 1 nether iron ore.

After 11.  23:25 - MF Farm: 13x64+36 wool; got two cows again, put 21 wheat in the feeder.  Go to Thaum Treehouse, start researching.  Basck to town for supplies, stop at Multifarm (99 apples, 367 oak wood, 58 spruce wood, 79 fir log, take out 63 apple oak saplings, 32 fir saplings).  Learned Gunpowder (really inefficient recipe), Enchanted Fabric and Thaumium Grafter.  Learned Copper Transmutation.  Then Thaumaturge's Robes, but tutamen (armor aspect) is expensive, I used up 2 iron boots, then ran to town for 24 leather for boots; dropped off my spare arcane workbench at old wiz tower, netted a skeleton hiding under a tree on the way back, to grind for arrows ... but one of the conductive pipes blew out, replaced that.  Back to Thaum research.  Use leather alone for tutamen.  Finished Thaumaturge's Robes.  Not that I need them, standing here in quantum armor.  Just working the system, documenting the recipes.

Went down to safe stone basement (thaum Treehouse) where I set up my crucible.  Made 4 thaumium.  A bit odd.  3 Fe + 1 Vis Shard gives 24 metallum + 6 prae + 2 gelum, which should be perfect for 3 thaumium bars, but I can only get one ingot per crucible full?  I tried shift-r-clicking too, one ingot.  Guess I dumped a bunch of flux trying to figure it out.  For Nitor, trying to get 4 Ignis + 6 Lux + 4 Potentia: 2 blaze powder (4 ignis, 2 wasted) + 2 nikolite (4 pot, 4 wasted) + 3 torches (6 lux, 3 wasted).  Trying to split items into essences and not waste any is interesting.  Like those uber-complex RPG magic systems, but working in real-time.  Anyway, I made 4 thaumium then 8 magical stone bricks, used 4 bricks to make an infusion altar.  Don't know what that does, but it seemed like the next thing in the progression.  Tried to make a thaumometer but could not actually craft it -- it stayed on the arcane workbench.  Oh well, stow those ingredients for later.

Railcraft lab: 64 coal coke done, put 64 coal in; MFE at 235K.  Run some more skeletons in spawner/grinder.  Done for night.
