u can do 2 grows or 3 and try again look if u have it filtert so it only places sappling (if that was a problem)

#

and idk if this might help but maybe make the delay longer for the fell

#

idk tho tbh

Yea, add a few more grows

As said, you just need more grows. Each grow has a % chance of advancing the tree to the next growth stage, and then there's 2 grow th stages for most saplings. 45% for most vanilla saplings to grow to the next stage and the intermediary stage means a minimum of 2 grows to get a full tree and an average of just a little over 4 grows. 7 grows gives you a 90% chance of a full tree. So I usually stuff as many grows as I can. I've never done the analysis to see what is the optimal number of grows in terms of source cost. Note to self: ask if Qther has done that analysis, and if not then do that analysis myself

Here's a tree spell I often use: touchplace_blockgrowx6 fellaoe for a smallish tree, like a spruce or birch or small oaks. Note I don't use any delay. I handle the item pickup either with a rune, a separate turret, something like sophisticated storage magnet upgrade. If I'm after bigger trees like archwood, then I use a second turret for the fell so that I can use lots of aoe.

Thank you guys ima give this a whirl

glacial sand
#

hey any time there's a question I know a good amount about and the question isn't "how do I do tons of damage", I'm pretty inclined to infodump 🙂

Very small scale in comparison to what I was shown

marsh flume
#

okay

cobalt heath
#

I just have to figure out how to cast faster like my buddy was

glacial sand
#

Awesome, congrats!

cobalt heath
#

Next to learn how he made printed silicone out of air !

glacial sand
#

Do you have Create mod? The pulse timer or whatever it’s called is perfect

cobalt heath
#

For wot

glacial sand
#

The pulse timer is great for making clocks that pulse at any speed you want

cobalt heath
#

Oh I’m doing souly with just spell book, he didn’t use a turret when he showed me so I haven’t bothered with em

glacial sand
#

So you can pulse the grow turret more often, grow trees faster

#

Ohhhh ok

cobalt heath
#

Ye he ran so much material so fast I don’t see a turret necessary

#

I’m focusing on learning how to use the book like him

glacial sand
#

In that case, I’ve often just held the right mouse button down to grow fast and let my bookwyrm familiar pick up all the drops

cobalt heath
#

Wut

#

Not flarecannon? And a item pickup glyph

glacial sand
#

Again, just to grow faster. Maybe I misunderstood, thought that’s what you meant

#

Idk what a flarecannon is

cobalt heath
#

Oh

#

lol

#

Flarecannon is essential to what I am doing

#

Can get inf casting with it.

glacial sand
#

What is flare cannon from?

cobalt heath
#

I’d imagine

glacial sand
#

Really? I don’t remember that at all haha

#

I’ll check it out later

cobalt heath
#

Ars elemental

#

Makes sense

#

That’s likely why you probably think I’m a wacko for spell book only for these

You can cast with no cooldown and essentially no mana usage when set up right allowing for a even crazier result in spells

#

In the allthemods10 pack they have another spell book you can make that holds 2x the glyphs, also

glacial sand
#

Yeah, I've played with both Elemental & ATAG gear in one of my servers. 20 glyph slots was pretty awesome (and not because of high damage, but because of all the new or better utility or fun spells i could make). Flarecannons are new to me, but I see them in JEI, I guess I just never noticed them!

How are you using them to get super fast spell? From my read of them, the familiar just gives some fire buffs, and the regular flarecannon mobs just cast a variation of projectile->flare at enemies

cobalt heath
#

it has a full reduction for the requirement to projectile casts

#

so you can cast a high mana proj over and over and over

#

which is what feed the quick cast

#

you just summon it, and bind with the tablet of binding

glacial sand
#

Ah interesting, seems like I should go play with them sometime

#

Thanks for the tip!
