fwiw i think the proposed change to Vis as a distinct, unified thing is very nice. i think the parallels between vis and essentia blurred them as distinct things. making Vis into Just Vis differentiates them better and i think it's good, aesthetically and design-wise
For use in creative mode for test purposes only: "Instant aura."
An item that can be 7 (or 2 with the recently proposed system) different types, that you can right click in a certain chunk and that will increase the aura of that type in that chunk.
An item that can do the opposite would also be handy of course.
That would indeed be very handy for adventure map makers
If I remember correctly, in TC4 and when playing in creative mode, the equal trade one focus and the portable hole could be used for free, and I believe that also was the case with Magia Naturalis' construction focus. If Azanor also would make all the foci needed for quick and easy (re)construction free in creative mode in TC5 too, I would be very happy
Suggestion: With the new vis mechanics, can we haz "Aura Comparator"? Research dependent on Magical Redstone. Creates a sensory device that outputs a value proportionate to the chunk's aura strength. Also, "Flux Comparator". Allows for general shutdowns of industry if the aura gets bottomed out.
This should definitely be a thing, though the latter name you suggested nearly brought me back to the future
Several pages back, someone suggested making the dioptra output a redstone signal depending on the strength of whatever vis/flux it's displaying.
I like to build Thaumcraft themed bases and structures from time to time. Templates can be found here:

Hey all, was wondering if Void Thaumaturge armor was better vs. Thaumium Fortress for straight battle...though I noticed the "armor meter" was higher with the Void Thaumaturge robes, and I became confused because usually the mod does not render obsolete it's equipment...
So if anyone knows, I'd appreciate it
The big bonus the thaumium fortress armor has over the void thaumaturge robes is that you're nearly fire-proof with the whole set on, and you also can customize the helmet with face plates. It's an apples and oranges kind of comparison. The void thaumaturge robes give you a huge vis discount which is great if you're bombing with foci a lot. They also don't need a repair enchant on them if you plan on keeping them for a long time.
If you're up in monsters' faces a lot beating on them with a sword, the thaumium fortress armor with a sipping fiend face plate might be a better bet. Void thaumaturge robes are better if you're casting. It depends on how you play, really.
You want a farm, you grab a hoe. You want a boat, you grab some wood. You want a fireplace, you grab A FLAMING HELL-BOULDER BECAUSE THAT'S HOW MINECRAFTERS ROLL!!!
But, that essentia is neither uncommon, nor particularly required.
Doesn't change the fact that it's still a mechanic that can be taken advantage of. Might not be useful to you or I but someone out there might want to make an essentia farm from a mob spawner or something.

Due to my snarky and sarcastic personality I can easily be seen as a jerk. If I've offended you in any way it was likely unintended.
Does that happen on every page, or just that one? And if it's just that page, then which one is that? I do not speak Portuguese well enough to do anything but recognize it. Except if that is the Thaumonomicon page about research.
Do you use a resource pack? (Probably can't break that, but it can't hurt to ask.)
that happens on the research page and i use the magicraft resourcepack

I have made some traps with liquid death, targeted against intruding players, but in SSP it's more of a way to discover your username's aspects. If you're lucky you could provide yourself with rare or useful essentias like auram or vitium

The problem was inside the Brazilian Portuguese language file. Some outdated image links. I have fixed the Research page for that language and if we're lucky, Azanor will release it with the next Thaumcraft update.
Are you sure that the other Thaumonomicon pages are ok though?
The Portuguese Portuguese language file is still broken and so may still quite a lot of others. Probably a good reason for issuing a Github issue tomorrow. Unless I feel like checking all those files by myself.
EDIT: Looking at the enormous heap of changes to go through for each and every file, I do not feel comfortable doing all these by myself. I may help update the Dutch one. Any volunteers for the other languages?
i didn't checked the other pages but they probably have the same issue

I just did that! Lux, Bestia, Spiritus, Humanus. Do we get three of our own now, or is Spiritus like Humanus, "everyone's got it"?

I did some CraftTweaker scripts for Mystical Agriculture. They fill in a couple of small gaps in MA, and also let you make or duplicate not only vanilla plants, but the blocks, plants and wood from Quark and Biomes O'Plenty. Also spawn eggs for most vanilla mobs! The scripts are here on Github.
I'm having a hard time unlocking eldritch stuff, I got my warp to maximum by eating zombie brains but so far I haven't got any new unlocks, do I need to keep waiting for a random warp event to happen or is my thaumonomicon bugged?

You just gotta wait and pray to the RNG gods.

You're doing all the right things. Have you read a crimson cult book yet? If so, you just have to wait, unfortunately. Oh, and be sure to keep doing warpy stuff. Zombie brains don't cause Hunger like rotten flesh anymore, so now I carry zombie brains instead of food. Keeps me topped up.
Still waiting on the second tier of Eldritch stuff myself...

Curse Premiumtwo words,
aura concentrator
edit:
another two words,
aura extractor
edit#2:
getting into the idea of light and vis. and where it comes from. will there be a new stages of a node?
like if you get vis from the air, then concentrate it. you end up with a pure essence? or would that be a node?
you could turn pure essenses into nodes.... idk it was just an idea.
also would lightning then charge the vis in the air? because it is light and energy. and what are the affects of the vis being charged?
oh my goodness it all came together
charged by lightning vis to pure essence to node.
or something like that. idk... could have a different name than essence.
Aren't golems really expensive right now? The amount of alchemical brass I'm producing is insane.

Curse PremiumDo you have an ore gen mod loaded? Like Base Metals or Fun Ores?
"We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far."
Nope, only Thaumcraft installed.
Liquid Death...
Doesn't seem terribly useful - unless i've been terribly unlucky, you get neither armor, nor XP drops from mobs killed in liquid death.
It's primary purpose seems to be getting essentia from mobs. Although it'd be nice to get xp and rare drops from mobs too.
But, that essentia is neither uncommon, nor particularly required.
can anyone help me on that ?
