    It's kinda the core item that you need to do anything with Thaumcraft. So just search for a Thaumcraft 4 wiki and you'll be set.

    My little helpfull hint is about redstone. I have found that darkwood and other new wood blocks will not convey redstone signals through and will actually mess it up sometimes.

    So here's the obvious thing I'm going to say, "Why not make a golem to pick up your apples and place them in a better barrel for you?" lol

    So, about how long does it take to make a basic Thuamcraft item?

    Depends how long it takes you to make those things.
    Resources, obviously collecting but also lower-level thaum crafting.
    Vis, you can find it easily, though sometimes it may take a while.
    Research just depends how easily you can connect the dots.

    Just a little thing I figured out recently. Due to a glitch (not going into too much detail as I don't want everyone trying it out.) allowing players to pop up through multiple layers of blocks (warded or not), I did some experimenting and found a defense for it. Either you can ward your house all the way down to Bedrock. Or set up a room below your house to catch the potential griefer in. A warded room at least 2 blocks high will allow the would-be troublemaker to pop up into it. Line that room with warded torches at head height. (hint: For torches in the center of the room, place a block, place the torch on it, ward the torch, and remove the block.) This will create a room the problem child can pop in to, but then cannot leave. Because the warded torches act as a blocker for their point of view and they can not click or place anything! Kinda like a force field. And looks like one too! See...
    [​IMG]
    Now you can do this and be protected. Or you can cover the floor with something, like lava.... My areas are protected by the torches at a minimum. I don't advise people to see if they are "warm to the touch" ;)

    EDIT: This works with any block players can move through and you can ward. Another trap room I developed uses warded water in the void space. When a player enters warded water, he/she can still breath (due to the properties of warded blocks not interacting with other blocks.) The water completely surrounds the player's point of view and they cannot interact with other blocks. As it is still water, the player can still swim around in it.

    A tip for thaumcraft is for one, get 2 iron ingots to make them into nuggets and make two iron caps and get a stick (any stick besides natura sticks) and make your self a wand. then get a book shelf and right click it with a wand and you should get the thauminomicon. after that get your self 3 (thaumcraft) tables and use one of them to make an arcane workbench (left click with wand) for basic recipe making. use the other two tables with a scribing tool ( see NEI for recipe ) and add the tool to the twp tables side by side and you get a research table. (I'd usually recommend two tools because one for the table and one for your invo.) to start making researches just have paper and the second tool and go to the thauminomicon, and click a Flashing icon ( not sure what i should call those things.) Before doing too to much research i suggest making (or "creating" ) all the aspects (52 of them) because it helps with research A LOT. This should start you up on any thaumcraft things for the basic levels.

    Tip: If you don't have too many resources, don't get into Applied Energistics until you do. Its crafting is pricy

    In addition to Spartens post, I would suggest researching the research is might and research is power notes. They are very helpful and well worth it.

    Another trial and error lesson learned:
    Twice now I have experienced glitches that cost me my entire inventory. Both times the server, as a whole, was experiencing faults causing it to temporarily restart and pushing everyone to FTB2.
    The first time this occurred, a few weeks ago, I had an idea it was something I was doing. However I had not been able to repeat the fault to confirm it. Last night I got confirmation!
    Both times this occurred, I had a large amount of RF items on me (both times I was moving/rearranging my house.) I do not have an approximate account for the number on items for the first occurrence; other than at least 8 reinforced strongboxes full of items. The most recent occurrence; I had the following on me: over 200 Magmatic Dynamos, over 120 Redstone Energy Conduits, over 120 Fluidducts, two Tesseracts, and my normal gear (armor & tools).
    This proved to be the tipping point and caused severe lag to momentarily reset the server, pushing all players to FTB2. I tried swapping back to FTB1, only to get kicked back to FTB2. Thinking it was a server issue at first, I tried restarting the FTB servers. No luck. Thankfully Deity was around and was able to watch the server as I tried to move back to it. Once he had the server up, other players moved to it successfully. However, as soon as I moved to it, ::BAM:: kicked and restart again. Deity then wiped my inventory and I was able to log back in successfully. This is proof that too much junk in your inventory can cause whole server issues.

    My advice is to limit the materials you try to move at one time. Further trial and error could test the limits, but I think I'll stay with the safe route for now.

    A side note on this, this seems to also include placed items as well. If your house is full of equipment, you will experience some lag. Try spreading your items/machinary around a larger base. Or, if possible, different ages. This will mean more areas to protect and more time moving between "work rooms". If the net effect is no loss of your hard earned items then it is worth the effort.

    Thaumcraft warded jars make a noise when you walk over them. If you cover them with carpet, they still make the glass/jar noise instead of the carpet noise. In other words- musical roads and floors :)

    Here's a fun thing.

    Using the tinkers workbench tool system create 2 stencils from 8 sticks for a chisel and a handle on the stencil station. The regular sized handle. Then take a piece of flint and a stick to the part builder and create those 2 parts...the stick for the handle and the flint for the chisel. You can also use netherack if thats more handy for you. Then go to the part builder and after selecting the chisel on the left put the 2 parts in and make the chisel.

    Take an ingot of iron and the chisel then place them on your crafting spot on your inventory location or a crafting table. Voila! Placable iron ingots! They are less expensive and look even better than blocks. The chisel is repairable as well. Toss any chisels that duplicate into a trash recepticle so you dont have any issues with that.

    with the Me computer system and it's crafting station with connecting storage. You can search for an item to make, then shift click on the (?) for the item you want to craft and the ME system will automatically fill the crafting table with the required parts from your storage to make the item, (if you have the items in storage). All we need do then is take the completed item.

    I believe this also works with the Tinkers construct crafting table and an adjoining chest, so long as all the required materials are in the chest to make the item

    *note - The system pulls items from the Me Drive,(holds all the storage nodes), and not from any adjoining ME chests connected to the Me system. Even though those chests require a storage node to activate the chest, the Me system does not use any of the chests contents when filling the crafting table grid automatically, only pulls from the Me Drive component

    Please correct me if you find my facts are not completely accurate,.

    Don't forget you have to place the recipe in the ME crafting station then using a blank storage disc, you store the pattern on the disc then place the newly created item recipe storage disc into the ME storage unit. Then the item will be available for construction as long as the needed materials are present. The real beauty of this is that you can make lesser complex items and store them and then use them to make more complex items and the system will do it automatically. For example to make a crystal chest you first got to make a wooden, an iron, a gold, and a diamond chest in that order. Now hand crafting these take time. But, if you store all the patterns in the ME storage you can craft one with just a few clicks and the basic resources in the system.
