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?
3 parts
The first thing to make with this mod is the Eccentric Tome itself. It is the mod's only item that the sources here show, so there is nothing to make before it.[2][3]
Step 1: Craft the tome
In this pack the tome is a shapeless crafting recipe, so the layout in the crafting grid doesn't matter. The exact in-pack recipe is shown below.[2]
This is a shapeless recipe, so the ingredients can go anywhere in the crafting grid.
Step 2: See which books the pack whitelists
The pack sets a whitelist of items in common.items. It is made up of guide books and manuals from other mods, for example ae2:guide, powah:book and several Tinkers' Construct books such as tconstruct:puny_smelting.[4]
If you wonder whether a particular mod's book is covered, check that list. If a book isn't on it, don't assume it is covered.[4]
Step 3: Overlay and aliases
The pack leaves common.disable_overlay set to false, so the overlay that previews tome conversion is not disabled.[4]
The pack also fills in common.aliases. It includes entries such as mythicbotany=botania and mysticalaggraditions=mysticalagriculture, plus several RFTools add-ons (rftoolsbuilder, rftoolscontrol, rftoolsdim, rftoolspower, rftoolsstorage, rftoolsutility) paired with rftoolsbase.[4]
How does Eccentric Tome work?
5 parts
The Eccentric Tome is the one item this mod adds in the pack, and the sources here only cover how you craft it and how the pack configures it. They do not describe machines, multiblocks, power, fluids or automation for it, so this section stays short.[2][3]
Crafting the tome
The tome is made with a shapeless crafting recipe, so the ingredients can go anywhere in the grid. Here is the exact in-pack recipe:[2]
Pack configuration
The mod's settings live in config/eccentrictome-common.toml. The pack sets options there that decide which guide books the tome works with, how mods are grouped together, and whether a preview overlay is shown.[4]
Whitelisted books
common.items is a whitelist of items. In this pack it is made up of the guide books and manuals of many other mods, for example Guide, Manual (Powah!) and Encyclopedia Arcana. If a book is not on this list, it is not whitelisted for the tome in this pack.[4]
Mod aliases
common.aliases holds entries written as one mod name equals another. The pack uses it to point add-ons at the mod whose book covers them. For example, mythicbotany is mapped to botania, xnet and deepresonance are mapped to rftoolsbase, and mysticalaggraditions is mapped to mysticalagriculture. The Integrated Dynamics add-ons integratedtunnels, integratedterminals and integratedcrafting are mapped to integrateddynamics. The rftoolspower entry appears twice in the pack's list.[4]
Conversion overlay
common.disable_overlay is set to false in this pack. The option is described as disabling the overlay that previews tome conversion, so in this pack that preview overlay stays enabled.[4]
How do you progress through Eccentric Tome?
1 part
Same as in the FTB Skies 2 1.22.0 guide
There is no tier ladder to climb with this mod. The recipe dump for this pack lists just one recipe that makes an item from the mod, and it makes the Eccentric Tome. So the only crafting step you need to know about is the tome itself.[5]
Crafting the tome
The recipe is shapeless, so the ingredients can go anywhere in the crafting grid. It is listed as a mod recipe, and nothing in the dump shows the pack changing it. The exact in-pack recipe is below.[5]
Shapeless recipe, so the layout in the grid doesn't matter.
Which Eccentric Tome config options matter?
3 parts
Eccentric Tome keeps its settings in config/eccentrictome-common.toml, and this pack sets every option in that file. The one you will care about most is the whitelist of items, because it decides which guide books the tome can work with.[4]
Whitelisted items
common.items is the whitelist of items. This pack fills it with guide and manual items from many mods. Examples include Guide, Manual (Powah!), Encyclopedia Arcana and Technology Guide.[4]
If a mod's guide is missing from that list, it is not whitelisted in this pack.[4]
Mod aliases
common.aliases holds the mod aliases. Each entry pairs one mod id with another. This pack maps mythicbotany to botania and mysticalaggraditions to mysticalagriculture. It also maps integratedtunnels, integratedterminals and integratedcrafting to integrateddynamics.[4]
The RFTools family is covered too. rftoolsbuilder, rftoolscontrol, rftoolsdim, rftoolspower, rftoolsstorage and rftoolsutility all point to rftoolsbase, and so do deepresonance and xnet. The rftoolspower entry is duplicated in the list.[4]
Overlay
common.disable_overlay is set to false in this pack. The option is described as disabling the overlay that previews tome conversion, so with false the overlay is not disabled.[4]
