You know, some of us might have a problem with "worshiping" Cthulhu even in a game...
Maybe we better leave deities out of it?
Though I am Agnostic myself and have no religious qualms with this I have to say "NO WAY!"
1, There are many out there that will take offense to this.
2, The mod has always taken the stance of a natural energy force that anyone can tap. Not one of pledge your alliegance to the forces of darkness and be rewarded.
3, My suggestion, make a separate mod or an Add-on to add this content for those who want it.
OK so I have been kicking an idea around in my head the last few days and I think I have most of this sorted out in my head. Let's see if I can translate into to text for you all.
Taint currently is more of a corruption/pollution. I propose a change to it being more Chaotic energy. Vis and Taint would coexist much as it does now in values. However once the Taint/Vis ratio increases then the forces of Chaos start surfacing. As in say when the Value of Taint in a chunk reaches 25% of the value of Vis in the chunk then any Thaumic device used will have a very slim chance of having an alternate random effect. At 50% the chance of random effects increases to a point where you have decent chance. Hit the 75% and you may get a few Taint block conversions and random effect are now quite likely but not quite 50/50. At equal levels of Vis and Taint or higher we get full blown Taint corruption and a full 50/50 chance of random effects occuring.
Now what kind of random effect am I talking about? Both the good and the bad.
Let's look at a couple of wands. The Fire wand could send out it's normal blast, a super charged blast that insta-kills targets it hits, it could backfire and catch you on fire. The Equal trade wand could have some interesting effects. It could "eat" some of the items being swapped, or increase, maybe treat it as if placed in a furnace (wood based items turned to charcoal, sand turned to glass), maybe if placing smoothstone you get a chance of some of it being swapped to ore blocks.
Now what about the "machines" of the mod. Look at the Arcane furnace, the fuel could be consumed either faster or slower, higher Taint levels could also effect the chance of duplications, maybe a chance to upgrade or downgrade and ore. Crafting device? Maybe chance of an enchant on the item, some of the durability used up already, or not all the materials get used up.
So now we would have to play a balancing game with how much Taint we want around us. If you want to play it safe you may want to clean up the aura a bit, or move your stuff to a safer location if using valueable materials. Maybe you are sitting on several stacks of Iron ore and want to take a chance on smelting a stack so you raise the Taint to the levels you want and roll the dice.
I, personally, would not mind having the Taint also able to spawn Tainted mobs at random based off the same probabilites as mentioned above. However it could also have an effect on Tainted Creatures. Encounter a Tainted Creeper and it blows up, maybe it spreads taint, maybe it spreads Vis, maybe it drops a activated Singularity @,@. Tainted sheep could have a chance to instead of spreading Taint it acts as if placing Bonemeal, or maybe actually eats the block it was feeding at.
I was also thinking there could be some "Endgame" tier devices that have a slider that could be adjust to control the Vis/Taint ratio used to power the devices. Want to test your luck? set the slider to use more Taint than Vis. Want to play it safe? Use more Vis than Taint.
I could go on much longer with some of the ideas I have considered, but I think you get the picture.
PotC now smelting blocks... meh, might use it for gathering smooth stone and glass but that is about it. Furnace duping and/or IC2 Macerator > auto smelt on harvest. Maybe giving it a chance to dup harvested block or (if possible to code) a small chance for a Fortune Enchant effect to kick in.
Carpet, I don't know if you saw my earlier post, but Locking player to forward facing on carpet or making flight control more like Creative/Swiftwolf's might help. I find when I do get lag it tends to turn my character, So it may be a MC error in lag handling more than the way the carpet reacts.
Chunk Loading on Portals and VI = Awesome. Love it.
~~~
Idea/Suggestion:
Thaumic Deconstructor - Breaks and item down to the components of it's crafting recipe. Items with crafting yields multiples are unable to be deconstructed. (i.e. Sticks, torches, vis conduits, pipes cannot be deconstructed) Also, items with Damage values must be fully repaired before they can be deconstructed.
Tier 2 machine blocks: I have lots of ideas on recipies and effects most would also increase Vis usage to yield better results. (also see below) Azanor: feel free to PM if you would like to hear them (I know you like to keep some stuff quiet till closer to release )
~~~
Improvement:
An activate button added to Infusers. Basically, it won't start infusing until button is clicked. (I bet there are many people who have accidentally made an Enchanted Silverwood or Thaumium Ingot when trying to make something else...) [or make it a function of a T2 Infuser]

Hey,
If anyone could help would be awesome!
Get rid of MLMP, nothing you have requires it.
Next you may want to update your mod downloads. Several have newer releases, including Forge...
So I was watcing my Arcane Furnace smelt a few smallish stacks of thing while thinking of what I wanted to do next when I noticed something funny happen. I saw this happen at least twice. Instead of duplicating an item it made a single smelt yield ingots in the amount of what was left in the stack of the scource material.
The first time it was with some Steaks. I had put something like 5 in and the second cooking yielded 3 Steaks.
Second time was today and I had put about 20 Iron ores in and when the 5th one smelted it yielded 14 ingots out of a single burn.
Not sure if it a conflict or internal to TC2, I do have quite a few mods loaded ATM.
I feel dumb because I can't figure out ANY recipes. I know about research but what about recipes like the Arcane seal and the Runic Essence? How do I make those
Awesome, glad to see this back up and running again. The old thread going silent kinda bummed me out
Looking forward to the future of this mod.
I might have some notes around of ideas I had for you guys.
Edit: Not sure if I mentioned this in the old thread or not; but Glimmerwood Fences and Gates would be a nice item. Other Vanilla wooden items could be nice as well, Steps, half slabs, and doors come to mind.
unfortunately since they are random some islands have less trees than others and some oceans have lots of islands.
i have seen oceans with 0 islands so i think the current spawn rates are as good as they will get.
i personally would love all the islands and biomes to be perfect but i can't do that.
Have you guys taken a loo at the new snapshot yet to see what may be possible with the "Anvil" system?
I expect it is going to force quite a rewrite to the code but it may also give greater control over the spawning of islands.
I know you will not be able to start playing with the code till MCP updates (which will not happen until MC1.2 is released for those who do not know.) I am hoping it will make things much easier for you guys in the future.
~~~
Oh, and another suggestion. Glimmerwood Fence and Gate. I would, personally love to have something like this. I think it would be awesome to have fencing that also emits light :smile.gif:
I also had a thought on an airship thingy to facilitate getting around the islands. Something along the lines of Pchan's mod, especially since they seem to have abandoned their mod :sad.gif:
BTW great mod! Im having lot of fun on it :smile.gif:
By chance, is there anyway to put traveling trunks back into inventory? I hate that they are just... sitting there taking up space. If not then I might make a special basement just for them lol
I second this. I would like a way to pick them up. Maybe a special bag you could right-click on trunks and it will store them inside. Right-click on air or anything else opens the inventory and you could drag trunks back to your personal inventory or hotbar. Could even tier the bags so you start out with 4 slots and then upgrade for more
Maybe even a function to click on chests will dump the contents of the trunks into it? :cool.gif:

I personally would find it easier to use if it were controlled more like Creative/Swiftwolf's.
I don't know if it would be possible. Maybe if it could be set to lock the player facing the front rather than being able to turn on top of it.
If possible maybe make a config option to toggle to the players preferance?
