Anybody (who sees some value in these guidelines) is free to include them in their own Guide, repost them, or do whatever they want with it.

If you quickly want access to all the aspects, with a minimum of manual aspect combining, then read on.This Mini-Guide does not cover anything added by other mods. Depending on your modpack, there might be better ways to get to an aspect.It doesn't matter which item/block you choose for discovering an aspect. For every newly discovered aspect you will gain a flat bonus of two research points. (I believe the bonus used to be item-dependent)Pro-Tip: Go scan some Bedrock! It's worth a lot of Research Points.There is no easy way to scan for Victus (at least that I know of) and it is a prerequisite for a lot of other aspects. While you're at it, combineandto make, the weather aspect, it's not a prerequisite for other aspects but since you can't scan the weather, you'll have to combine it anyway.
