Disable hardcore (minigame driven) Thaumcraft research.

The issue at hand with changing it comes down to violating the intention of the modpack maker. They set it to expert mode because they felt it was the right balance for the pack.

 

thaumcraft by default does not come in hardmode, the modpack makers wanted it that way, i hope it stays true to the pack, mostly because of how scarce research points are without massive numbers of nodes, thank you very much

 

infinity, i had to get a lot of nodes to scan because surprisingly enough i ran out of AER, guess what? i had scanned every item in my base, my AE system, etc, i still needed more aura nodes to get everything, i'm not even done and i need more aura nodes to scan because of how much i've scanned, so quit with these lies, and it's only because i'm on easy mode, you can avoid massive ammounts of scanning by being in medium or hardmode, and don't forget, the modpack makers intended for it to be hardmode, as thaumcraft comes out of the box on normal mode, which is both easy + hard type researches

 

xkcd: Tasks

Have easy research, normal research requires minigames, and some easy style research, that's what thaumcraft comes with default, the modpack makers wanted it hardmode, let's keep it that way

AH, I see what your problem is, you want "I can get everything right away with no progression bottleneck!", that's exactly the opposite of what the thaumcraft research is for, thank you very much

 

so do the 5 researches required, it's not hard nor that time consuming, i'm talking long term thaumcraft trying to get ALL the researches is annoying due to complete lack of aspects on easy mode

 

Why is it that they always disable the hard method to research AFTER I complete all the research the hard way? Happened to me twice, on node 4&5 infinity evolved. It is shocking and depressing.[DOUBLEPOST=1466613531][/DOUBLEPOST]The mini games give me, and possibly everyone else, a nasty headache. Felt as if my brain was being slowly microwaved by the time I finished the KAMI stuff. Horrible thing to do.

 

+1 for easy mode. I've done enough modpacks with TC that I've done the minigame enough times. It's not fun, for me, it's just a grind to get to the things that are fun.

 

i've done the complete thing 5 times, the minigames are fast to complete, the real bottleneck in all of thaumcraft is aspects, that's it, nothing more or less

 

takes me less than 10 seconds to complete an advanced research without research mastery level 1 and without a guide, you have no excuses

 

that was still during my 3rd round of completion, it doesn't matter, you can obtain the skills quickly anyways

 

Hope they keep it the way the pack makers wanted to. It was really depressing for me that they change all the packs that have thaumcraft to easy mode that's the only reason I hardly play with TC anymore its no fun waiting and using 10 stacks of knowledge fragment and afterwards needing more or going around for 3 or 4 hours scanning nodes and others just to get enough. That was my experience when I try to give a go to easy mode.
