Your Expectation

Thaumonomicon entry for Node Linker from Thaumic Bases explicitly mentions that a block of some metal can be used to stabilize the process of node linking. Investigation of code for Node Linker reveals said material to be Ichorium, and thus it would be expected to be able to use this block to stop instability events from occurring.

The Reality

In reality, the block of Ichorium does absolutely nothing to prevent instability events. In addition, I checked ShadowOfX & Threefold's google spreadsheet, and it also mentions Ichorium block not functioning as stabilizer.

Your Proposal

Make Ichorium block actually work, or make some other magic metal block replace it and change the Thaumonomicon entry for Node Linker appropriately.

Final Checklist

• I have searched this issue tracker and there is nothing similar already. Posting on a closed issue saying the bug still exists will prompt us to investigate and reopen it once we confirm your report.
• I can reproduce this problem consistently by follow the exact steps I described above, or this does not need reproducing, e.g. recipe loophole.
• I have asked other people and they confirm they also have this problem by follow the exact steps I described above, or this does not need reproducing, e.g. recipe loophole.

The function right after your shown snippet, instabilityCheck(), contains instability code. In it it is shown that only the 2 most severe events (node explosion and node harm) are stopped from occurring if a stabilizing block is present. Your screenshot only shows flux event, which is not excluded.
Looks like intended behavior. If the last contributor to that function intended to exclude all events then the block check would be at the beginning of the instability function and not confined to only 2 events.

Very curious. It is unfortunate that it other instability events seem to be intended to occur even with ichorium block, since Thaumonomicon entry implied all instability events would be stopped. I'll do more testing in creative later today, as well as re-read the entry to make sure that I didn't misunderstood the wording.

Alright, after some brief testing, it doesn't seem like node linkers actually explode, with or without stabilizer. This will require more testing, since sample size is pretty small, but you'd think that out of three node linkers transfering aspects for 15 minutes straight, one of them would explode at some point, given amount of wisps and flux they spawned.
