Some of my cheating episodes : I scouted the map in creative mode flight a couple of times trying to find a decent spot for a base (after a string of horrible spawns). I did the same in the nether looking for more fortresses, since the two I've found didn't have a single nether wart in it I was...

Very interesting and well written, thank you.

Yes, that irks me. I can't see any reason for it. Anyway, after experimenting a bit, I settled on a semi-auto solution. I split my line in 2, A) drone producing line and B) princess cloning line. When I have enough drones from A I just put them along with some princesses into a chest on B...

Yes, that could work. I was trying to use only BC pipes, but I guess a little redpower can help. I'm going to test some builds, thanks :)

Yes, routers are great, I use them for a lot of stuff, and they were the first I tried for solving this. But they don't work in this case, because they can't guarantee one drone on the source apiary, if the number of offspring is fewer than the number of apiaries. Essentially I've decided my...
