Geocraft does that kind of thing. I just started using it myself, has a lot of promise.

Correct. Yusunoha elaborated well on the details in his reply. They don't need to be purebred to acquire a species serum off them. Since the isolator has a chance of killing the bee you sometimes need to run several through before you get the species serum, but it's not hard. To mutate new...

Agreed, I don't mess around with warmers or other climate control equipment for alvearies. I just went for isolating the desirable traits instead. That does take some time and a lot of breeding. I started with the Rocky species which is already nocturnal, cave-dwelling and pollinate from...

Thanks. Those are floodlights from Greg's Lighting mod. We're running a custom modpack that just mostly resembles FTB Ultimate.

Yeah, I'm still on 1.4.7. Here's some shots of my bee setup Outdoor research area Lab Cold Storage Production

I have a smallish "apiculture lab" with the following: Gene Pool w/small attached iron tank for storing liquid DNA, two Acclimatizers (one is enough really), Isolator, Synthesizer, and a Purifier. And a redstone conduit running in that carries LOTS of juice. Near there I have a small room...

Our recent server had similar rules laid down. No player, item, or energy teleportation of any kind. This was a lot of fun, encouraging people to build closer together and take part of a community power source/item infrastructure, or to build further away but connect themselves to the main...

I don't think either of those species have biome requirements to breed, or be bred. Master Apiarist Database

I believe they last indefinitely. They do on Factorization 7.21, at any rate.

If you have the Thaumic Bees mod you should also raid some chests and find Oblivion Frames. Putting one in an aviary/alveary reduces the Queen's lifecycle to nearly zero. Toss in a couple Soul Frames and you can breed new mutations very quickly.

I did something like this recently in 1.4.7 (OCS 0.1.4), with a proximity sensor card. I wanted it to go off when players were near, but not when other entities came by (mobs, golems, etc). Here's what worked for me (not the full program): local radius = 10 local player_nearby = false local...

I've always found Railcraft World Anchors reliable. Occasionally with Sentinels for long rail lines, etc.

The players on my server were thinking it would be fun to have a new world where certain ores only spawned infrequently in specific biomes. This would encourage traveling to far lands and establishing transport systems in order to gather the usual stuff (iron, copper, tin, coal, etc). In...

I'm also waiting on news here. I admin/play on an established server using RP2 with MC 1.4.7. I would dearly love to upgrade lots of mods but we're too dug-in with RP2 to do so without tossing our world. It's not even the machinery that's the main issue, it's all the microblock structures and...

I can verify that, at least in Forestry 2.0.0.11. Those trees must be in a damp climate in order to cross-breed into Sipiri AND Sipiri saplings will only grow in damp climates. The fussiest of all cross-bred trees in that sense. The White Willow is nearly as bad... only cross-bred in damp...
