Thaumcraft 4.x-5.x Research Helper

This script helps you with your Thaumcraft 4.x research. If you have a research note with two aspects that you don't know how to connect, simply choose them in the dropdown list above ( From: and To: ). Additionally, choose the minimum number of steps between those two aspects. If in your research note, the two aspects have two blank spaces between them, choose the value 2 for Min. Steps . Then click Find Connection and the script will search for the shortest path (well, with at least the minimum length) that connects the two aspects. Note that sometimes the length of any path is longer then the given minimum, but this should not be a problem for your research note.

If you are unhappy with the path you got, because you do not have access to those aspects yet or they are quite rare, simply disable those aspects from Available Aspects: . The script will then try to find paths without these. Note that this may cause the path to grow longer. If too many aspects are disabled and there are no paths left without any of those, the script will try to find the shortest path using the minimal number of disabled aspects.

also, I compiled it to .net 4.0 - so it should work on any windows from now on. Next thing im going to do is to make some checkboxes for adding aspects from magic bees and forbidden magic. Also would be nice to have Youtube tutorial hook up under help button...

This night I expirienced major issues with free hosting, so I moved on to commercial one, link in main post updated, hope You enjoy!

Over-achiever.

I don't understand what this does...  

Its tool to help out with mod to minecraft named "Thaumcraft"  

No really? After that slightly rude sarcasm, what I meant was how does it help?  

I'm not, I just don't understand what it does to help.  

it finds all possible connections between 2 aspects, so user doesn't have to remember every connection, and can choose from variety of possibilities, that normally he wouldn't even think of - so in the end whole process takes much less time, and aspects are distributed in more efficient time. I hope it's clear enough now.  

Oh, that's pretty cool

Really. Thank you god for this. I'm sick and tired of Azanor's shit when it comes to major changes to this mod every other month. There's no point in even checking let's plays for thaumcraft since he's changing stuff around since this version came out.

Um, I'm hesitant to run this program. Don't get me wrong, I love the idea. However, I went to run the installer and I got a few warnings. First, I get the typical unknown source warning. Then, Windows SmartScreen popped up a blue band accross my monitor (Windows 8) and told me it really doesn't trust this. Thus my hesitation.  

It's safe. I'm using it right now. Windows 8 likes to whine like vista sometimes. The way it installs is kinda bizarre but still all good.

This helper looks great! Is it possible for a web version? on OSX  

i dont have OSX but You can try http://www.mono-project.com/docs/about-mono/supported-platforms/osx/  

Thaumcraft 5 Research Tool v

How to use this tool.

This tools helps you solve Thaumcraft research notes by showing you how to connect one aspect to another. Simply select two spects from the drop down, select the minimum number of aspects between them, and click the Find Connections button. It will show you all the ways you can build a path between the two aspects.

If there is more than one path, you can use the Next and Previous buttons to move through the possibilities. The tool tries to prioritize the path that consumes the fewest number of points, but that may not always be the best option for a given note.

The Accept button is used to accept a path. Accepting a path subtracts all the points necessary to build that connection from your points list. In this way, you can continue solving a research note with multiple paths within the constraints of the points that would be available to you.

On the top left, you'll see your available aspect points. This will limit your connection path to things you can build. You can add points to this list by clicking on an aspect from the aspects list at the top right. Selecting a primal aspect will add one point of that aspect to your points list. Selecting a compound aspect will build that aspect using the points in your points list. If you click an aspect in the points list, it will break down that aspect. Primal aspects get removed, and compound aspects get broken down into their components. You can also shift click on a primal aspect in the points list to add a point of that primal.

The save slots allow you to store and load a points list. You can save your current point list by clicking the Save button. To load those points back, just click the load button. The slot gives you more than one place to save a point list. This makes it easier to experiemnt with paths and go back if you get stuck.

You can reset your points list back to a given number of primal aspect points using the Reset button. It will reset your points list to just primal aspects with that number of points for each.

Thaumcraft Research Cheatsheet

Many thanks to xcube from the GTNH discord server for compiling this list. Original link .

Notes: Warp is split equally among Permanent Warp and Normal Warp, with any leftovers applied to Permanent Warp first. This means that a Warp value of 3 will add 2 Perm and 1 Normal warp to your character.

Prerequisites notes:

P - Parent research (must research all of the parents to unlock the research)

Ph - Parent hidden research (must research all of the hidden parents to unlock the research)

A - Aspect scan (must scan an item with this aspect to unlock. Scanning an aspect only unlocks one research at a time, so you may need to scan multiple different items to unlock everything)

I - Item scan (must scan the item listed to unlock)

E - Entity scan (must scan the mob or character listed to unlock)

K - Kill scan (must scan the mob or character listed and then kill it; the one you kill does not have to be the same one you scan)

If an item lists an Item and an Entity scan, you usually have to scan only one of them to unlock it. You still have to do all of the parent research though.

Research (Thaumcraft 6)

• View history

Research is a core mechanic added by Thaumcraft 6 . It allows the player to advance in Thaumcraft and create items featured in the Thaumonomicon — any player that does not have the appropriate research learned will not be able to craft or infuse the item even when all the necessary components are gathered.

• 1 Required materials
• 2.1 Theorycrafting
• 2.2 Curiosities
• 3 Researching

Required materials [ ]

To perform research, the player will need:

• Thaumonomicon
• Thaumometer
• Research Table
• Scribing Tools and ink to refill them

Gaining knowledge [ ]

There are two knowledge types: observations and theories . They are further separated into knowledge categories, one for each section of the Thaumonomicon. Their only use is unlocking further entries in the Thaumonomicon.

• Observations are obtained by scanning blocks, items and entities with the Thaumometer . The amount and the categories of gained observations are dependent on the aspect composition of the scanned object.
• Theories are obtained in the theorycrafting minigame.

Both of these types can be also obtained by using curiosities or collecting experience when wearing the Headband of Curiosity .

Theorycrafting [ ]

The theorycrafting minigame is used to obtain theories. It is performed at the Research Table, consuming Paper , ink from Scribing Tools , and inspiration (represented by lightbulb icons). The amount of inspiration available increases with the player's progress in the research tree.

Once a theory is started, two research cards are drawn. Each research card has an inspiration cost and an effect. Some cards require items listed on the bottom of the card to be picked; if the items are marked with a yellow exclamation mark, they will be consumed. Picking a card will apply its effect and allow for the next draw. The effect of most cards is adding research progress in a specific category. A few other common effects are granting extra inspiration at a cost of some research progress, or drawing extra cards in the next round.

Once the player runs out of inspiration, it is refilled, the research is completed and their research progress is added to their knowledge. Every 100% of stored progress in a category grants 1 theory of that category. Only the category with most progress will get the full bonus, all others will get a 33% penalty to the gained knowledge.

Inspiration can be spent before starting a fresh research session to activate nearby research aid blocks. Each activated research aid adds additional cards to the pool; these cards are marked with a glyphed border when drawn. For example, a Bookshelf adds three Study cards (which add progress to one category), two Notation cards (which move progress from one category to another), and one Universal Theory card.

Curiosities [ ]

Curiosities are rare items that grant theories and observations when used. They can be also consumed by research cards during theorycrafting to yield a moderate amount of progress. Most curiosities are much more likely to give progress in a specific category.

• Arcane Curiosity - Auromancy
• Preserved Curiosity - Alchemy
• Ancient Curiosity - Golemancy
• Eldritch Curiosity - Eldritch (grants Warp )
• Illuminating Curiosity - Arcane Infusion
• Twisted Curiosity - Artifice
• Crimson Rites - Eldritch (grants Warp, chance of granting a small amount of permanent Warp)
• Pech Wand - random, not usable in theorycrafting

Researching [ ]

To unlock items and blocks, their respective entries in the Thaumonomicon must be researched. Each incomplete Thaumonomicon entry has a list of requirements to complete the current stage. Common requirements are:

• Observations and theories of a specific type (consumed)
• Various items (consumed)
• Knowledge of a specific aspect
• Crafting a specific item
• Other requirements, like visiting a specific area, getting hit by a certain damage type, etc.

Once all required items, observations and theories are gathered, and all other requirements are satisfied, the research stage can be progressed by clicking on the "Complete" button, usually unlocking new items, recipes, effects, etc. If the research entry is marked with purple clouds, completing it will also grant Warp to the player.

Some research entries are hidden and require a specific item or entity to be scanned, a certain event to happen near the player, etc - for example, the Warp research entry is unlocked and completed when the player gets granted Warp for the first time, and most Thaumcraft mobs have a short entry unlocked when they are scanned.

• 1 Twilight Forest
• 2 Blood Altar
• 3 Portal to Alfheim

Effects [ ]

Completing this research will unlock the following quality of life features when using a research table :

• Removing an aspect that a player has placed in a hex will result in a 25% chance to recover a research point for that aspect.
• Hovering the pointer over a compound aspect in the research point pool will display a tooltip indicating which two aspects combine to create that compound aspect.

Research minigame aspects [ ]

The following aspects will appear in the research minigame for this research item. Discovering these aspects is required to complete this research.

Gallery [ ]

Full text [ ]

You have become more efficient at performing research. Whenever you remove an aspect that you placed in a hex, there is a 25% chance that you will regain the research point. You are also able to see what aspects you need to combine to create an aspect you are hovering over. --- Thaumonomicon
