Essentia Destilation and everything in its tree This is a list of researches that I suggest to prioretize (the show in what section):Īll the researches in the basic information section Hidden research will appear in your thaumonomicon as a yellow square, and its research proccess is like a normal square research. You know that you unlocked a hidden research when you see at the bottom right 'you have discovered a clue to a new research!'. To unlock a secret research you need to scan one of few specific items to unlock it. Some of the researches are hidden and you need to unlock them. they will allow you to see from what 2 aspects that aspect is made, and that shift clicking on an aspect will make 1 of it (consuming the 2 aspects that its made from of course) Especially the researches called research expertese and research mastery. The first things that you will probably want to research are all the things from the basic information section. for example potentia will connect to ordo and ignis becouse they make it, and it will connect to praecentatio becouse praecentatio is made of potentia and vacuos. An aspect will connect to another aspect if one of them is made of the other. To connect 1 aspect to another aspect you need to make a 'chain' of aspects that connect to each other. if you have a '?' on one of them means that you dont know that aspect yet. Your target is to connect all the aspects that you see at the beggining. (For the sake of this tutorial I will show the research for nitor since its the most basic one) You place the research note in the research table and it will show you a page at the big square. After that, you click on a blinking shape, and it will give you a research note. Now, to start a research, you need to have paper and scribing tools in your inventory. pretty much you click on it, and it will consume the required aspects to unlock it. Hexagon: a research that can be purchased instead of researched. Yellow Square: Secret research (I will explain later)Ĭircle: a research that will mostly give you an ability or info, not recipes for items.Ĭircle with pointy corners ( Advanced circle Bright shapes are things that you already finished to research, and dark shapes are things that you cant research yet (that require previous research) each blinking shape is a research, and the shape itself is the type of research. When you open your thaumonomicon you will notice that you have alot of blinking shapes in it. You will need alot of aspects for the research. Then you click on the button between them, and it will consume thouse 2 aspects to create the new aspect.Īfter you finished scanning and discovering all the aspects you will want to scan as many items and blocks as you can. you want to scan the items that contain it, and if all of them dont work, you go to the research table, click on the 2 aspects that you see in its components, and it will show them in the 2 circles at the bottom left. in thouse spoilers each item has a symbol, its name, its components, and some of the items that contain it. after you know all the aspects from tier 1 you can advance to tier 2, and so on. you start with the aspects in tier 0, and its making that you can scan most of the items in tier 1. (A primal aspect is an aspect that cannot be created from other aspects, like ordo and ignis, and compound aspect is an aspect that is made of 2 other aspects). you can ignore tier 0 since it contains the 'primal' aspects. If you need help finding what items you need to scan, this site is really usefull: at the bottom there are 8 spoilers, called tiers 0-7. for example, you will be able to scan dirt becouse it contains 2 terra, and you know already what is terra, and you will be able to scan smoothstone becouse its made of 2 saxum, which is made of terra+terra that you know already. You can scan items that contain only the aspects that you know and aspects that you can create from your current aspects. usually items and blocks that thaumcraft doesn't recognize. 'nothing can be learned from this': The item doesn't contain any aspects. 'You dont have the knowladge to understand this': you need to scan more stuff and to discover more aspects before being able to research it There are 3 possible outcomes:Ī list of aspects: you successfully scanned the object While scanning an item you will see notes on the bottom right of your screen telling you stuff. To scan an item you hold a thaumometer in your hand, and right click on a placed block/item or an item that you dropped on the ground, and it will start scanning. there are 50 aspects in total, so when you will have 50 aspects you will be done. Your first target will be to scan items to get all the other aspects. First, you will notice that you have only 6 aspects, and its not really alot.
