Messis (Crop)
Messis, the aspect of crop, is a base Thaumcraft 4 compound made from Herba and Humanus. One point costs 13 primal points to synthesize from scratch.
Recipe
Combine one point of each component at the research table to get one point of Messis. Counting all the way down to primals, a single point takes 13 primal points:
That total is the number the solver shows as craft cost when it places Messis in an empty cell. Cheapest routes avoid it unless the note leaves little choice.
What Messis connects to
Messis links to 3 aspects in this library (see the connection rule): its two components and the compounds that use it.
| Neighbor | Why it connects | Craft cost |
|---|---|---|
| Herba | Component of Messis | 3 |
| Humanus | Component of Messis | 10 |
| Meto | Meto = Instrumentum + Messis | 24 |
When Messis is printed on your note and you only need to leave it, Herba is the cheapest first step at cost 3.
Reaching Messis 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 → Arbor → Herba → Messis | 2 | 7 |
| Terra | Terra → Herba → Messis | 1 | 3 |
| Ignis | Ignis → Cognitio → Humanus → Messis | 2 | 16 |
| Aqua | Aqua → Victus → Herba → Messis | 2 | 5 |
| Ordo | Ordo → Instrumentum → Humanus → Messis | 2 | 21 |
| Perditio | Perditio → Mortuus → Victus → Herba → Messis | 3 | 8 |
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
Messis is in the base Thaumcraft 4 group. Its default commonness is 67 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.
