Research is the means by which you discover new recipes and other knowledge, and is required to accomplish much of worth with Thaumcraft 3. To perform research, you will need a Research Table , which is created by placing two tables next to each other and right clicking them with  Scribing Tools  (first image). PLEASE NOTE: you cannot record your findings without a Thaumonomicon, so please don't waste your research without one.meow sow

Research is based on the Aspects, of which there are currently about 50. There are aspects found in most vanilla and Thaumcraft items; however certain items (such as Fir Logs) do not have aspects as they either were accidentally ignored or the player cannot obtain by normal means.

For details and help using the Research Table, please see that page.

When you finish researching a Theory, it becomes a Theorem. To unlock the Research you just did, put it on your hotbar and right click. This will destroy the Theorem (unless in creative) but unlocks information in the Thaumonomicon for you. Please note that you can keep the Theorem if you use it in Creative mode, effectively allowing another player to use it to gain the research (just note if they aren't in Creative mode, they will use up the Theorem).

Important noteEdit

Bees research comes with the Thaumic Bees add-on for Forestry. While it's not vanilla Thaumcraft per se, it comes bundled with some mod packs, and thus still appears as potential, uncompleted reseach in the Thaumonomicon once you unlock the prerequistes. Hence its being included in the list, in case of.
