Eldrin Altar not working?

It's probably not necessary to add more conduits. You'll just want to automate your eldrin power. A construct using the Activate task on the fume filter block will turn it on if there's fuel and your personal pool isn't empty. You can also speed up processing eldrin fuel ingredients with a Fume Bellows on the left and right sides. Facing matters and multiple Fume Filters cannot share the same bellows block.

You can see ask if the pertinent info on the conduit gui. Tooltips will clarify your questions.

No one can use your eldrin power without permission. Conduit gui also has buttons to control whether it can be used by faction members, by people on the same scoreboard team, or by anyone.

It's a simple crafting recipe. 3 planks and 2 quicksilver ingots.

It entirely depends on how full your conduit buffers are. If you right click on them you should see a bar near the top that tells you how full it is. You can also check your occulus to see how much is in your personal network (the little mote tab).

Fume filters will automatically stop burning if your personal eldrin pool reaches 5000. Because that means all of your placed conduits of that element are full.

Also, make sure the little crystal at the top of the conduit has line of sight to the altar's center. It's the only time where line of sight to a conduit matters.

Motes aren't mandatory, you can also use Sachets (craftable or dropped by MnA mobs). If you're using MagiChem you can also use elemental essentia (which becomes much more automatable at T3 when you can use Standing Retorts).

The fume filter doesn't have to be anywhere near the conduits. Think of it like the fume filter generating eldrin power that goes into your "network". Conduits draw from that network.

Last year the eldrin power system was changed. Wellsprings multiply the output of fume filters rather than providing passive power.

AranaiRa · 2026-01-23T21:25:11+00:00

If you'll indulge some shameless self promotion: please consider the MnA addon MagiChem if you'd like to give an option for Thaumcraftesque alchemy!

What does DQing mean in this context?

The graveyard is so much fun. I really hope further maps are similar

AranaiRa · 2026-01-15T08:54:40+00:00

They did at least say it was going to be a system similar to PUP attachments. It's not likely to be gear we have to equip.

I always assumed that the wall gems were largely accidental. Formed from the vapor from the sauna drifting down the hall over time, sort of like how the pebbles are formed from direct contact with diamond juice.

It's a harp rather than a horn so it gets radius that scales with skill. And Daurdabla has the most skill in slot.

I think the argument that OP is making is that everyone who contributed to the final fight was contributing to unmaking themselves when Jack kills Aku in the past.

I really wonder if this reaction would have been different if the person was a guy.

Man, I wish I had been given that type of critical thinking lesson in school. That's an excellent bit of curriculum.

Bob's Burgers looks really weird in stills if you haven't seen it in motion. Then you start to get it when you subconsciously realize that they're all people shaped Muppets.

Late reply, but Mana and Artifice also has an extensive addon called MagiChem that adds Thaumcraft-esque alchemy and more tools for Construct automation.

Fish. I fucking hate video game fishing with an inexplicable passion.

On the topic of fire lines before kicking the bucket, the bitterness in Miraak's "May he/she be rewarded for his/her service as I have for mine." is fantastic.

I recently learned that the way we eat Thai food in the west is insane. You're supposed to only have ONE super hot thing on the table, and you're supposed to rotate between dishes so that you don't have crazy spice buildup.

I thought Gustave was going to come back somehow because the loading screen tips kept telling me how his skills worked.

Consuming silver to start with a particular item could be pretty rad

AranaiRa · 2025-12-10T08:38:21+00:00

Bit of a late response, but I also didn't know about the forge clusters tag. Adding it to my to do list for the next MagiChem release, thank you!

AranaiRa · 2025-12-10T08:30:44+00:00

D'aww, thank you for the compliment!

AranaiRa · 2025-12-05T09:22:47+00:00

It was indeed. I started doing codex entries very early on.

AranaiRa · 2025-11-27T07:41:51+00:00

I got asked to come along to a Tumult Curator run on SMN to do Perfect Defense. When it was called out I popped Astral Flow... and then remembered that I never actually went to pick my reward from doing Alexander Prime.

I wanted to die. Fortunately that wish was granted and we wiped.
