Required Tool

Thaumostatic Controller is a block added by the Automagy 1 mod. It is the main part of a multiblock structure named Thaumostatic Spire which recharges the player's Thaumostatic Harness in a large area. The multiblock structure requires 1 Thaumostatic Controller, 2-6 Thaumostatic Pylons, 1 Thaumium Block, 1 Chiseled Quartz block. To construct the multiblock, place 1 Chiseled Quartz Block, place Thaumostatic Controller and Thaumostatic Pylons in any order on top, and cap it with Thaumium Block. Then the structure has to be activated by right-clicking it with any wand, which will cost 50

. The multiblock structure requires

CV to be active, and will accept

Essentia to transfer it into the internal storage of charged Thaumostatic Harness, the structure will also accept

and

Essentia to increase its range and charging speed. The sides from which the Controller accepts each type of Essentia can be configured by right-clicking them with any wand.

Research aspects in this block[edit]

Thaumonomicon Entry[edit]

"As a busy thaumaturge jetting about from place to place, the lengthy routine required to refuel your thaumostatic harness has become quite a nuisance. Now, you have found a better way.

By combining your knowledge of the thaumostatic field and energized nodes, you can use this field to transmit Potentia through the air. Establishing and maintaining the link between a Potentia source and its destination is mentally taxing but a crystalline brain fortified by Aer is well suited to the task.

The Thaumostatic Spire which enables this has several requirements which must be met to construct it and to keep it functioning.

The first step is to create two Thaumostatic Pylon blocks and a Thaumostatic Controller. A chiseled quartz block and a block of thaumium are also required.

Next, the components must be placed in a suitable location. The chiseled quartz block goes on the bottom and the thaumium block should be on top, with the pylons and controller placed in any order between them (with no gaps). The thaumium block must have empty space above it and an unobstructed view upward to the open sky. Once everything is in place, right-click on the controller with your wand.

The Spire can cover a wide horizontal area and has no vertical limit. Any equipped thaumostatic harness in the area which contains a warded jar will have a steady supply of Potentia provided to it so long as the Spire has any to give and it is powered by Aer vis from a relay. Use essentia tubes to connect the controller to the Potentia source.

The covered area can be increased by feeding the controller a steady supply of Aer essentia. The rate at which Potentia is distributed to harnesses in the area can be increased by piping in Volatus. Both are amplified through the placement of additional pylon blocks in the structure. (No benefit is gained after the structure's sixth pylon.)

Right-click a side of the controller with your wand to change the type of essentia it will accept on that specific side."
