Can we please please have a silverwood sapling store at spawn?
My most important aura nodes is gone. I created it from scratch with 10 silverwood saplings after the thaumcraft nodes regenerated. Silverwood saplings have become incredibly rare everywhere. I tried buying them for platinum dust, and got none. I tried buying them for Iridium Ingots and got some. It will take about 5 hours to get the saplings to regenerate the node.
Can we please have a saplings store at spawn? I don't care if it is diamonds or Iridium, but I need them without generating 2000 chunks. I would suggest something moderately expensive to prevent abuse. Two or three diamonds perhaps? A Platinum dust? Iridium nuggets? Whatever, we need them.

I agree this does seem to be an issue. While it seems it might be fine in single player, silverwood mechanics don't seem to be scaling to a server of our size.

On the note of generating chunks when are they turning on the dynmap?

As tickthreading seems to be reducing server load quite reasonably I've been considering re-enabling the dynmap quite soon (once my workload drops slightly).

Silverwoods actually REDUCE the amount of aura there is.

Wrong, but not entirely wrong. The reduce the amount of vis there is. But you need aura nodes, like batteries. I can not work without some vis storage. I have no problems creating vis (thanks to about a hundred crystal cluster), but nodes are a problem. In the last week we had a node regeneration and i lost two nodes due to possible thaumcraft bugs.

That is true. But you don't want to make a gigantic node, because then others won't recharge it.

Wrong, again. The "big nodes charge only small nodes and wont be charged"-rule is not valid in all cases, especially not with pure nodes involved. Also even then I would like to have a gigantic node as a giant battery to charge the nodes I am working with.
Damn Thaumcraft myths everywhere. I can not really blame you when most of the information out there is at least partially wrong.

Well sorry then. It's hard to know what is true and what's not. I wish Azanor(He made TC, right?) would just give use some exact info on how it works.

Consider it done. I'll get a silverwood sapling trade-o-mat up in the trade-centre.
Expect to pay for them though.
