What is Eccentric Tome?
Same as in the FTB Skies 2 1.18.0 guide
Eccentric Tome is part of the pack's mod list. This version of the pack ships Eccentric Tome 1.21.1-1.2.0, and the mod has been in the pack since version 1.13.0 or earlier.[1]
Unverified The sources I have for this section only confirm that the mod is installed and which version it is. They don't describe what Eccentric Tome does, its recipes or configs, or where it fits in the pack's progression. I also have no confirmation of a quest or ATM Star path involving it, so I won't guess at any of those. Check the in-game item tooltips and the mod's own documentation for details.
How do you get started with Eccentric Tome?
2 parts
The first thing to make with Eccentric Tome is the Eccentric Tome. In this pack it is the one item this mod adds that has a crafting recipe, so it is where you start.[2][3]
The in-pack recipe for the Eccentric Tome.
Why the tome comes first
This pack has a lot of mods, and many of them come with their own guide book. The tome's whitelist in common.items covers guide books from many of them, so you can see which books it is set up for.[4]
Books on that list include the guides for Applied Energistics 2, Powah!, Occultism, EvilCraft, IntegratedDynamics, Roots Classic and NauTec 2. Guides for Auroral, Anima, Animus, Neo Vitae, Nodeworks, Starcatcher and FTB Industrial Contraptions are on it too, and so are several more.[4]
Pack settings worth knowing
- common.disable_overlay is set to false in this pack, so the overlay that previews tome conversion is not disabled.[4]
- common.aliases maps some mod names onto others. For example, integratedtunnels, integratedterminals and integratedcrafting map to integrateddynamics, and xnet maps to rftoolsbase.[4]
- common.items is the whitelist of items the tome works with, and the pack has filled it with the guide books mentioned above.[4]
Unverified The sources here include no guidebook for Eccentric Tome, so the exact in-world steps for putting a book into the tome and switching between books are not shown in this section.
How does Eccentric Tome work?
4 parts
Eccentric Tome doesn't add machines, multiblocks, power or fluid handling. The sources here only show one item, the Eccentric Tome, plus the pack's settings for it. So this section covers what those settings tell you, and nothing more.[3][4]
Getting the tome
The tome is a shapeless crafting recipe from the mod itself, not changed by the pack as far as the recipe dump shows.
The item whitelist
The pack's common.items option is described as the whitelisted items. It is a list of guide and manual items from many mods, so these are the books the tome is set up to work with in this pack.[4]
A few examples from that list: the guide from Applied Energistics 2, the book from Powah!, the dictionary of spirits from Occultism, the origins of darkness book from EvilCraft, the Nodeworks book from Nodeworks, the guide book from Neo Vitae, and the guide from Starcatcher. The list also includes guides for Auroral, Anima, Animus, Better Fishtanks, Energized Power, FTB Industrial Contraptions, Iron's Gems 'n Jewelry, LTX Industries, Mystian Apiary and NauTec 2.[4]
It also covers books from mods such as Tinkers' Construct, Immersive Engineering, Ars Nouveau and Draconic Evolution, so it isn't limited to the mods in this pack's own quest chapters.[4]
Mod aliases
The pack sets common.aliases to a list of mod pairs, written as one mod id equals another. These are the pairs it defines:[4]
- mythicbotany = botania[4]
- integratedtunnels, integratedterminals and integratedcrafting = integrateddynamics[4]
- rftoolsbuilder, rftoolscontrol, rftoolsdim, rftoolspower, rftoolsstorage, rftoolsutility, deepresonance and xnet = rftoolsbase[4]
- mysticalaggraditions = mysticalagriculture[4]
Conversion overlay
common.disable_overlay is set to false in this pack. That option is described as disabling the overlay that previews tome conversion, so the preview overlay is left on.[4]
How do you progress through Eccentric Tome?
There are no tiers to climb with Eccentric Tome in this pack. The only item the recipe data shows for it is the Eccentric Tome, and it has a single crafting recipe, so there are no upgrade steps or levels to work through.[2]
The recipe is a shapeless crafting recipe that comes from the mod itself. Here is the exact in-pack version:[2]
The pack's recipe dump lists this as a shapeless mod recipe and shows no item inputs for it.
Unverified The sources here do not show any quest in the pack's quest book that involves the Eccentric Tome, so no quest-based progression path can be given. Check the quest book in-game if you want to confirm.
Which Eccentric Tome config options matter?
3 parts
Eccentric Tome is configured through config/eccentrictome-common.toml. The sources here don't show the mod's defaults, so this section only lists what the pack sets, not what it changed.[4]
The whitelist: common.items
common.items is the list of whitelisted items. If a guide book is missing from your tome setup, this is the first place to look.[4]
The pack's list covers guide books from many of the mods you will meet, for example Guide for Applied Energistics 2, Origins of Darkness for EvilCraft, Dictionary Of Spirits for Occultism and Manual (Powah!) for Powah!.[4]
It also includes guides for several of the pack's more unusual mods: FTB Industrial Contraptions Guide (FTB Industrial Contraptions), Nodeworks Book (Nodeworks), Scriptura Vitae (Neo Vitae), Starcatcher's Guide (Starcatcher) and Runic Tablet (Roots Classic).[4]
- Cooking for Blockheads from Cooking for Blockheads is whitelisted.[4]
- Bestiary from IceAndFire Community Edition is whitelisted.[4]
- On the Dynamics of Integration from IntegratedDynamics is whitelisted.[4]
- Energized Power Book from Energized Power is whitelisted.[4]
- NauTec 2 Guide from NauTec 2 is whitelisted.[4]
- Guide Tablet from LTX Industries is whitelisted.[4]
- Apiary Guide from Mystian Apiary is whitelisted.[4]
- Aquarist's Guide from Better Fishtanks is whitelisted.[4]
- Jewelcrafting and You from Iron's Gems 'n Jewelry is whitelisted.[4]
- The Auroral Guidebook from Auroral, The Necronomicon from Anima and Codex Animus from Animus are whitelisted.[4]
- Guidebook from Just Another Witchery Remake is whitelisted.[4]
Mod aliases: common.aliases
common.aliases is the list of mod aliases. Each entry is written as one mod name, an equals sign, then another mod name. Here is what the pack sets.[4]
- integratedtunnels, integratedterminals and integratedcrafting are aliased to integrateddynamics.[4]
- rftoolsbuilder, rftoolscontrol, rftoolsdim, rftoolspower, rftoolsstorage, rftoolsutility, deepresonance and xnet are all aliased to rftoolsbase.[4]
- mythicbotany is aliased to botania, and mysticalaggraditions is aliased to mysticalagriculture.[4]
The rftoolspower entry is listed more than once in the pack's file, with the same value each time.[4]
The overlay: common.disable_overlay
common.disable_overlay controls the overlay that previews tome conversion. The pack sets it to false, so the overlay is not disabled.[4]
What changed in Eccentric Tome between versions?
FTB Evolution 2 1.1.0 ships Eccentric Tome version 26.1-1.2.1 (file eccentrictome-1.2.1.jar). The mod was already in the pack in 1.0.2 or earlier.[5]
The mod's own changelog for 26.1-1.2.1 has a single entry: "Fix recipe". It doesn't say which recipe was fixed or what was wrong with it.[6]
Unverified The sources here have no pack changelog entries for Eccentric Tome, so any changes made to it between FTB Evolution 2 releases are not shown.
