If that liquid Taint escapes your crucible (you fill it with Taint and can't make any more Vis and destroy it to empty it, etc) it fills the nearby Aura with Taint. Now what do you need those detectors for? As described above, making Vis in your Crucible creates Taint in a liquid form. If you have enough Crystals, one for each log, go ahead and make a few up: Suffice to say, just taking out the first 4 layers of the 2X2 trunk will do.Įnchanted Wood is an essential component to Vis Storage Tanks and a couple of other thaumic machines. They are a pain to collect because they aren't, as of 7.2, part of Tree-capitator so you will have to cut it down the old-fashioned way. They are even bigger than a regular tree and have a very distinct colored wood. To do that, you're going to want to find those Greatwood Trees. What is recommended first, is some form of Vis Storage and Taint Control. Since this is a Tutorial there are a few items you should make now if the conditions are right. For now you're going to have to live with it. It's going to be up to you to figure out which world objects work best for Vis creation, but fear not the Taint! It can be controlled, dispelled and destroyed. When you connect your Infuser to a crucible with Vis inside, it will draw out the un-tainted Vis and use it as a powersource to make very useful objects. This liquid version of the Aura and land-polluting phenomena, is at this time, an undesirable phenomenon.
However, when this essence is released, some portion of it is converted to Liquid Taint as a byproduct of the operation. It will pool inside your crucible and await use. This can be any simple non-crafted object from the world including everything from cobble stone to diamond blocks. How is this done? By adding objects to the Crucible, you 'cook' the contained Vis out of the object. You can then start to extract Vis out of some of the items you have collected. Using one of your Vis Crystals, 7 iron in the form of a cauldron and a furnace, you can craft this object:Ĭonnect the Crucible and the Thaumic Infuser using those conduits. Your first Thaumaturgic creation is going to be a Crucible. Making Magic: The Crucible and the Infuser
If your cave is deep enough to get Redstone, pick some of it up as well and have it handy. You'll need 11 pieces to start and some coal for some rudimentary Thaumic creations and you'll seldom end up having enough. If you found some iron and/or coal while you were down there, make sure to mine out as much of that as you are able. Collect a single crystal stack of Vis and Tainted if you can and head back up, noting any other crystals you found. If you come across any Tainted or regular Vis, collect these first and leave the Fiery, Aqueous, Vaporous and Earthen crystals alone if you can. This makes them easy to find, 2 or better in number and don't do damage to you.įind as many as you can but only collect a few crystals for now. Vis Crystals underground grow in bunches and emit light when exposed. However, they can really mess you up when you start to fight them and can only be reliably taken down by good marksmanship with a ranged weapon. The Whisps, crystaline mobs that fly about playing wind-chimes, have a chance to drop a kind of Vis Crystal dependant on their color. You will need them for nearly every operation and they can be found most reliably underground. Vis Crystals (pronounced ~VEES) are an essential part to Thaumcraft.
If you have discovered an Active Taint Chunk anywhere near your first homestead, go directly to the this page and begin cordoning it off.Īssuming you're not in danger of being consumed by the creeping purple menace, get your pick, shovel and torches and head underground.
