For sake of posterity, HQM has a system called reputation, which this pack uses heavily to gate progression  so you don't get too far ahead in a specific area. In regrowth, you get reputation as an arcanist, a geneticist, and a mechanis''t (or similar terms) - you can see progress in these at the main menu page of the book, lower left. ''Each one unlocks quests in different areas - mechanist gives you more advanced technical quests. Arcanist is a combination of all the magic mods - Botania, Thaumcraft, Witchery, etc. Geneticist seems to be to do with bees and or fish buggery - it's not Agricraft and generating the spawn eggs like you'd think.

So if you're trying to unlock something, complete quests that have reputation gains as a quest reward. It'll open up more options for you.
