And don't forget to read the quests. They seriously help. Especially if you read them. They have great information that can be obtained by reading.

Follow the quests under the instructor, and actually read the quests. They give you instructions for building a Hard Non-Metal pick, and they also give you two separate options for building Soft Metal (which lets you mine iron) and Hard Metal (which you need to mine gold so that you can make casts for your smeltery).  One of the two options uses tech ores, which are extremely rare, but the other option uses alien ores that are far more common.  The ore book offered from the instructor tells you where you can find these alien ores in high abundance.
Again, this is all laid out for you in the quest descriptions, which you should read.

1.  There are several options for clearing taint- many of them are improvements on the ethereal bloom in some form or fashion.  Thaumcraft's Basic Alchemy research unlocks the Ethereal Bloom research, and that unlocks a number of increasingly-better taint-clearing options.  Keep researching these options and you'll unlock progressively better options until you unlock the Dawn Machine.
 
2.  Once you gold medal every region, you'll receive a badge that you can give to the drop computer and colonize the planet.

Hi, like many others I like to record my adventures on Minecraft and put them on YouTube. I was wondering if there was a way to adjust the Technic launcher's settings to open Minecraft with a fixed resolution, such as 1080x720, which would be conducive to making, editing, and publishing YouTube videos.
 
I can't find a way to do so. Currently, my solution is to change the resolution on my computer to 720p and play in Full Screen mode. I was hoping there might be a more elegant solution?
 
If not, is there any chance of us seeing this capability built into the launcher in the future? As far as I know, it's not a difficult functionality to add. It's really just changing the start-up parameters when launching Minecraft, right?
 
Thanks in advance for what I hope will be a better solution than changing my screen resolution every time I want to record a new episode of my BTeam series. I love the work the Technic team does.
