    Wicked Fast Tree Farm Design (ideas)

    I saw that video. But I'm pretty sure even he admits that it was a poorly thought idea for a realistic tree farm. Very creative, but very inconvenient. Also, on just about all servers Arcane Bore is banned because of griefing purposes. I think it bypasses towny, not sure though.

    Wicked Fast Tree Farm Design (ideas)

    I would prefer a taller tree or a 2x2 tree just so that less fertilizer and saplings are required per tree growth. As well as the fact that I would only need 1 Lumber Axe if the tree were taller or 2x2 rather than having many trees grow.

    Wicked Fast Tree Farm Design (ideas)

    I really like that you provided me with the exact recipe for the lumber axe! This seems like the option I'm sticking to, as golems seem like a pain in the ass and won't be fast enough. The last issue I STILL have, is saplings. The lumber axe will cut down the tree really fast, and so I envision...

    Wicked Fast Tree Farm Design (ideas)

    Interesting! I never considered using an electric lumber axe that is rechargeable. What I was saying with the activator is that a lumber axe only breaks the wood, so if the next tree grows instantly, the leaves would have no time to break so no saplings would be dropped. I guess I would just...

    Wicked Fast Tree Farm Design (ideas)

    WAIT. Before you put any replies onto the thread about MFR harvesters, let me explain my restrictions on the tree farm. Restrictions 1. Quarries are banned in the overworld. Ender quarries are allowed, but don't mine trees anyways. 2. FTB Direwolf20 1.6.4 pack (check out the mods for that). 3...

    MFFS Power Issues

    Hello all! Recently I have gotten lazy building this massive repeating structure, so I looked towards MFFS specifically the forcefield that is custom to build the repeating pattern. What is wrong with MFFS power consumption? I know other people are having this issue, and I want answers. Before...

    Alveary and Frames (Durability)

    Funny, because it seems like I'm only getting one frame every second not every tick with the Cyclic Assembler (just tested, it is definitely 1 per second for frames). I always have plenty of sticks and string, maybe it's not pulling the items out fast enough? Anyways, why use impregnated? Much...

    Alveary and Frames (Durability)

    I use coke ovens for creole oil. I have a tree farm that got me over 60k wood in a couple of hours with plenty of string from 4 sheep farmers. The only issue I have with frames is auto-crafting them. Nothing crafts things automatically very fast. AE is slow, auto-crafting table is slow, cyclic...

    Alveary and Frames (Durability)

    Hello all, I'm having a really strange problem with frames. No matter what type of frame I put in an alveary, it goes down by 5. This doesn't happen in apiarys, so is it just an alveary thing? I'm in Direwolf20 1.6.4 if that makes a difference. Is there a way to make it so the durability only...

    Oblivion Frame

    Hey all! I'm back with another bee question. There just seems to bee (pun) so many mysteries with this mod! My question has to do with the oblivion frame. I know that is has a low durability (60), but is it supposed to go down by 5 every time it is used? I'm using it in an alveary with only 1...

    Forestry Bees "Fast" Worker

    What does this trait mean? So I was just wondering with the cap on the frames in alvearys, if having a Fast worker versus a Slow worker would make a difference in bees. Before, with 6 frames in an alveary, no matter if the bee was a Fast or Slow worker, it would produce the max amount per bee...

    Have alvearys been nerfed?

    Thank you so much for the quick answer! This is exactly what I was thinking and trying to avoid, but if it's the only way of increasing the production, then whatever. Does the cap have any value to it? In other words, is there a way to calculate, for example how many diamond combs I would get or...

    Have alvearys been nerfed?

    So I was just messing around with alvearys and frame housings, and I noticed something odd. They no longer produce like they used to. Going back to the MindCrack pack back in 1.4.7 days, the way I got rich was having alvearys with 6 frame housings all filled with frames 24/7. This guaranteed...

    Cotton Farming

    Thank you for the reply! I wasn't aware that sheep could get their wool harvested in that manner, I will definitely check that out! :D

    Cotton Farming

    I'm not sure if this is in the right section, but here goes. Anyways, I need an automatic cotton farm. That's fast. Alright, so this is what I have so far. I tried using a harvester with a fertilizer that's about 15x15. It's very fast, but it seems too hard to support considering the power input...
