Fabrico (Craft)
Fabrico, the aspect of craft, is a base Thaumcraft 4 compound made from Humanus and Instrumentum. One point costs 21 primal points to synthesize from scratch.
Recipe
Fabrico = Humanus + Instrumentum
Combine one point of each component at the research table to get one point of Fabrico. Counting all the way down to primals, a single point takes 21 primal points:
That total is the number the solver shows as craft cost when it places Fabrico in an empty cell. Cheapest routes avoid it unless the note leaves little choice.
What Fabrico connects to
Fabrico links to 2 aspects in this library (see the connection rule): its two components.
| Neighbor | Why it connects | Craft cost |
|---|---|---|
| Humanus | Component of Fabrico | 10 |
| Instrumentum | Component of Fabrico | 11 |
No compound in this library is built from Fabrico, so its only neighbors are its own components. A fixed Fabrico on a note has to be approached through Humanus or Instrumentum.
When Fabrico is printed on your note and you only need to leave it, Humanus is the cheapest first step at cost 10.
Reaching Fabrico from each primal
These are the shortest valid chains in this dataset, using base Thaumcraft 4 aspects only. Where several chains tie on length, the one with the cheapest in-between aspects is listed. Cost counts only the aspects between the two ends, the cells you would have to fill.
| From | Chain | Cells to fill | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aer | Aer → Motus → Ordo → Instrumentum → Fabrico | 3 | 14 |
| Terra | Terra → Perfodio → Humanus → Fabrico | 2 | 21 |
| Ignis | Ignis → Cognitio → Humanus → Fabrico | 2 | 16 |
| Aqua | Aqua → Victus → Bestia → Humanus → Fabrico | 3 | 16 |
| Ordo | Ordo → Instrumentum → Fabrico | 1 | 11 |
| Perditio | Perditio → Permutatio → Ordo → Instrumentum → Fabrico | 3 | 14 |
A real note also has geometry: the chain has to fit the free hexes between your endpoints. If the gap is longer than the chain, pad it by stepping back and forth between two aspects that connect, or let the solver find a layout that fits.
Data source
Fabrico is in the base Thaumcraft 4 group. Its default commonness is 82 out of 100, an editable estimate used by the Common ranking. The component pair was compared with Azanor's Thaumcraft API, Minecraft 1.7.10 branch. The recipe table covers every component pair and the version limits.
