    Nerfing the Nerfs!

    Not if you play on a Mindcrack server like I do :P Honestly, nerfs will happen. They suck sometimes, but it's part of the game. Many games, even. Anything that has a recurring update schedule is going to eventually have nerfs. I think this thread got very carried away from the OP's intentions...

    Nerfing the Nerfs!

    Bug fixes and nerfs are not mutually exclusive. You can have a bug that allows an exploit and when the bug is fixed, it can still be considered a nerf because it reduces the effectiveness of a game element (back to where the author originally intended it to be*.) *Where the author originally...

    Help with oil production using bees (Mindcrack 8.3.2)

    Haha. I don't mind it so much. Setting up the infrastructure for Factorization seems more difficult than anything I've done in Gregtech so far because it requires yet another power system and I *think* currently there is only a single way to get Charge, and that's via the solar turbines/mirrors...

    Help with oil production using bees (Mindcrack 8.3.2)

    Oh, forgot about the logic matrix programmer. I found two in a chest. I can use them to make more, right? I need to read up on Factorization. And you mean slag furnace, right? Why do I need mirrors and solar turbines and all that other stuff? Oh wait... I need a Crystallizer to get the logic...

    Help with oil production using bees (Mindcrack 8.3.2)

    Yea, all of those three alvearies are Refined bees for oil production testing :) I'll keep that in mind, though, when I want to mix and match. Oh, that reminds me, I need to build a craft packet maker and all that to get the wrath igniter to get the dark iron. Damn Gregtech. Haha. Oh well...

    Help with oil production using bees (Mindcrack 8.3.2)

    Yea, that's why I asked about routers to begin with. I may keep the short loops on each alveary but then see if I can manage the rest using routers. A testing I will go :D

    Help with oil production using bees (Mindcrack 8.3.2)

    Oh I gotcha. You're using the apiarist pipes along with the routers to route the bees *as well as* the products. I took a different approach. I use the apiarist pipe like I would in an apiary - just for princess/drone management and then routing the combs to the processing area: So my...

    Help with oil production using bees (Mindcrack 8.3.2)

    By the way... The Refineries never go past blue green. I even disconnected them from the combustion engines and hooked up a REC at 100MJ/t and they STILL never went to green/green. On one of the wikis I read, it said blue/green is second fastest and green/green is fastest. If I'm putting...

    Help with oil production using bees (Mindcrack 8.3.2)

    I'm a little confused about the apiarist pipe part. Why do you need that at all if you can just put the routers right next to each other. In thejims video, from what I could tell, he had 4 routers. 3 were connected and one was set apart. Not sure how he has everything set up, though, because he...

    Help with oil production using bees (Mindcrack 8.3.2)

    Okay, so I think I finally got it. It is NOT compact, though, so I may wind up switching over to a router system anyway. Right now I'm voiding honey drops and regular propolis: Diamond pipes route the petroleum comb to the right side centrifuge and petroleum propolis to the right squeezer...

    Help with oil production using bees (Mindcrack 8.3.2)

    No luck. Tried the omni wrench, the screwdriver, the electric wrench, and crescent hammer, and none of them would rotate it. I'll just have to break and replace, I guess.

    Help with oil production using bees (Mindcrack 8.3.2)

    That must be why it wasn't working for me, because I was trying to pull them out of the back. I have all my squeezers side to side. I guess I'll have to spread them out, or like PoisonWolf said, and change it up for a router system.

    Help with oil production using bees (Mindcrack 8.3.2)

    Why 3? I'm a total Factorization noob and never used a router before. You can pull the random propolis out from the right side?

    Help with oil production using bees (Mindcrack 8.3.2)

    Hello all, Just a quick question regarding automating a set up using bees to produce oil and/or biofuel. I have bred Refined bees and I'm using Alvearies along with frames to get oily and petroleum propolis. Because I like the apiarist pipe, I've been doing this with BC pipes, but it is a huge...
