This mod is AWESOME! I can even run it on my piece of s*** Linovo Think Pad, which can barely run minecraft on minecraft's lowest settings. Minecraft seems to run faster with this mod installed, as well.
All "mod" items will have their essence value defaulted to 1 (unless their recipe contains vanilla items, in which case they will be picked up on and used).
This doesn't seem to properly work with IC2 recipes, for some reason. Glass fibre cables and uninsulated gold cables, both of which use only vanilla resources, return an essence value of 1. And after dumping in only 6 glass, 2 redstone, and 1 diamond (The recipe for the glass fibre cables), I was able to pull more than a single crafting of them out of the fabricator. A test with Buildcraft's wooden gears (Tested to see if it the problem was accross all mod items) and stone transport pipes (Tested to see if the problem was accross all mod-recipes that give multiple items) returned proper essence values.
Can you help me? Whenever i press the download forge properly button it just sends me to a login screen?
Seems they don't want people accessing jenkins directly.
I've updated the link on the OP to point to the Forge files page - make sure you download the correct version from there.
Just a quick question: What's an arcane generator do? I've been trying to figure it out to no avail...
As far as I've been told (Couple updates ago) it's just raw essence -> redstone current. Think a lever with a raw essence cost.
Edit Addition: What if the generator didn't have the essence cost, but still ran redstone when it detected essence? It'd make a great indicator for people with a nexus and no sense energy.

It's kind of strange. It emits a redstone signal if it is active and has essence stored in it. It also consumes a small amount of essence when you turn it on. No real use at the moment, unless you want to debug your essence lines. Or slowly drain them of energy.
Both options are roughly as useful.

oh, and can you tell me the seed of the world you played in the first let`s play?
The seed we used was 'Mithion' (Tof's choice, not mine haha).
Note that you won't find towers in the same place we did, as towers use their own seed for their random numbers, independent of the world seed.
When I crafted a cristal pillar using the recipe on the wiki, the item name was essence conduit. Then when I placed it down and clicked on it, the GUI said essence conduit.

Whoever put that there under crystal pillar was misinformed. I have updated the recipe to be on the correct page. I will fill in the rest of the content in the next few days (what they each do, Crystal Pillar and Essence Conduit).
To start off the Essence Refiner... Which I assume is to make Essences. The wiki merely explains you need to add an Arcane Ash in the middle and 4 ingredients on the circle. But what are these ingredients? Minecraft has tons of items and sure I tried some random things but there's millions of possabilities.
Secondly would be the Essence Conduit... While just placing things at random in creative you may quickly notice it's to improve the range of the Nexus to it's devices. However.... They appear to explode at random. Reading up on the focuses it's apparently reducing the chance they build up Deficit. (Defect?) I assume this is what makes them go boom. But reducing implies they may still explode. So I assume they can be turned off or something. I haven't found a way to disable the Nexus to send essence to devices besides completely breaking the device. Easlier said they'll explode no matter what unless you break a device?
Crystal Pillar, Does it even have any use besides being pretty? I wouldn't mind it one bit. But it would be nice to know. =)
The wiki pages for each of the essences say how they are crafted in the refiner. The conduits and crystal pillars are used to transfer raw essence. I don't really know much about them, but the conduit explodes because it builds up too much deficit. To lower the deficit build up, place a crystal pillar next to the conduit and/or put in charge foci. My information might not be 100% correct regarding the conduits and pillars, feel free to correct me.
I was messing around testing some stuff in creative and noticed that the spell book ui doesnt come up and that theres no way of telling what casting mode you are in could you make it that that stuff does not get hidden?

Please read the wiki for spell/buff descriptions.

Essence conduit increases range of nexus while placing crystal pillars near conduits keep them from exploding.
