How frustrated are you going to be when you discover that a linking book only takes you to the dimension it's crafted in. Making a linking book in that dimension will not help you get home.

Star fissures, dude I'm going symbol-hunting with descriptive books. I've been playing with MystCraft since before there were notebooks and the mod was incompatible with Forge. I know how the basics work

The symbols being added... usually from what I've seen in a few books, it auto-generate's everything. So I get extra biomes, skies, clouds, weather, biome controller's, etc... basically it adds in everything to create an age on top of what I put in. Which... is pretty confusing to put in words, so a screenshot might better explain it.

Copying a book? If you mean adding the same symbols as a randomly generated book has... no I haven't tried it. (Though I'll try now and see what happens)

The version I'm using is 0.9.4.05.

Ok, then try this.

When you make a book, each symbol has a "tooltip" that pops up, giving a readable name.

Please tell us the content of a sample book before you go through, and again after you go through.

Well, the 4th Age I created was an Eternal Night age with Hunger III and Weakness. (Oh yeah. FUN.) I got greedy and chased after a few chickens, then my sword broke when I met a spider. I had to fight it and another off with my stone axe. I ran back to my stone spawnpoint, and just as I grabbed the linkbook from my inventory to place it in the bookstand...

Ssssssssss.

You Died!
...

Minecraft Wiki mentions nothing helpful. I *do* have some torches nearby, keeping it well-lit, and it's a Bright age. My wheat right across from the sugarcane is growing just fine. Is something else up here with my Age, slowing the growth of my sugarcane, or am I just unlucky?

"bright" has no effect on plant growth. It only affects what your eyes see.

If you have wheat growing just fine, and you are sure that the light level above the sugar cane is 9 or better, then you are just unlucky. I'm assuming that you are doing "compound growth" of the sugar cane by planting new crops as soon as it grows?

Oh yea -- Have you seen http://binarymage.co...ings:entrapment ?

As a minimum safety level, bring three books (one in your hotbar), two linking stands, and a chest with you when you enter a new age. Place one stand, and one book near the spot you arrive at. Place the chest, second stand, and book close to, but not too near, your arrival spot (ideally it should be far enough away that if a charged creeper explodes on you, the chest will still be intact.)

I wrote that -- including 3 books, setting up a chest and a distant stand -- specifically for dealing with surprise creepers.

They will destroy loose items when they go off. Like the book in your hand.
Last I checked, they would destroy holders -- like bookstands and chests -- and leave the contents untouched.

I like to call them "dumb bombs", after a "defender" clone where smart bombs would destroy those carriers, leaving all the little guys swarming you at once.

Ahh, so it wasn't in your hotbar at all times? You didn't have a linkbook set up as soon as you arrived? You didn't place a chest down on arrival?

I'm not paranoid. Those creepers really are out to get me.
General Spaz hates me :-).

Couple of weeks ago i started messing with mystcraft in my test world. I tried the railcraft/portal system to get lava from the nether and it worked just fine. Today i was looking for the end portal and went at least 1000 blocks away. I had a linking book to my test base, when i r-click on it the black rectangule where you click to get teleported is grey...So i assume that i can't travel between the same age. But i see in DW's video that he travels with mystcraft books among the same age and even for few blocks. Am i doing something wrong??
Thanks in advance for any reply.
Great job, having a lot of fun with your mod!!!
I'm using FTB 1.4.2.

I just have teleport hub in another age with books at stands to all important points in main world or other ages.

You have to use a link modifier to make it so books can teleport in the same age.

So, fooling around with this in FTB and came across one of those ages that has huge trees, what biome/world type creates that? I'd like to make a world eventually that's stable and include that. Once I got back and put the book on the writing desk, it listed these for the book settings:

Single Biome
Plains
Lakes
Black Fog
White Fog
Standard Lighting
Slow Weather
Eternal Day
Standard Terrain

I don't see one there that would suggest huge trees, unless it's a combo of some of them? I looked on the wiki and I don't see a list of the symbols and their meanings / uses for world generation. The only thing I find on the wiki is in the config file where it says

huge_trees.enabled=true

Does that just apply to all biomes? The way I read that is there should be a separate symbol for huge trees, or am I understanding that incorrectly?

Alrighty then... This is the most common one I attempt to create since seeing Direwolf's mod spotlight on it.
I figured a tiny biome one would be the easiest to get as a stable world as tiny biomes use 1 biome (at least in the version Direwolf had)

Custom Book before entering the age:
Biome: Plains
Biome Controllers: Tiny Biomes
Lighting: Standard
Sky: Red Sky, Red sunset, Red Fog, Black Clouds
Terrain Features: Ravines
Terrain Generation: Standard Terrain
Time: Normal Time
Weather: No Weather
World Modifiers: None

After entering the Age: (all of the above plus):

Biomes: Extreme Hills Edge, Extreme Hills Edge
Terrain Features: Caves, Wooden Tendrils.

If the added things don't cause the instability... then I have no idea what does, but I still get the 'symptoms' of instability and see the weird purplish decay blocks, even if it's supposed to be stable.

It can be turned off in the config file.  This will prevent decay from spawning and remove any existing decay.

This is planned, actually.   Great idea.  A much better name than I was going to give it.  Hopefully you don't mind if I use it.

Water is cheap in Minecraft.  Do we care if it gets removed?
This is much better than the alternatives, believe me.  I spent quite some time figuring out the best course of action for water.

Not really intentional.  It's an effect of the glass material.  This should be addressed later.

Ah, this is the same issue we had before.  It is only on your client that the error exists.  When linking it send you the data about the age you are in.  When logging in it fails to do that.  Linking out and back in obviously fixes the issue.
I'll see what I can do.

The village symbol might have been auto selected, but this looks like two different age logic constructions.  I would delete the appropriate DIM folder and see what happens.

That's the wrong one.  You need mystcraft-1.2.5-0.8.3-Forge-3.1.3.105.zip.
The normal package has a forge folder because it uses a few forge items.

i am questioning the first quote (cant figure out how to delete other quotes so XD)

i have turned off  options.instability=true to false and options.instability.blackdecay=true to false which option will let you turn off decay fully all the way like all of the original is gone and it wont spawn anymore i cant figure it out thanks

"Tiny Biomes" requires a minimum of 3 biomes.

[Qwertygiy]

Tiny/Small/Medium/Large/Huge biomes require at least 3 biomes.
Checkered Biomes requires 2 biomes.
Single Biome requires 1 biome. (duh)
Native Biome Controller requires 0 biomes. (I believe this is Creative-only.)

Well that solves the extra biomes...

What about the instability it still gives me? Is it because those auto-generate?

All required symbols that auto-generate cause instability.
