    Mac mini hd 4000?

    I have used the mac mini with HD graphics 3000,core i5, and 8 GB ram, and the results aren't spectacular. I struggle to get 30 fps on normal + 64. However, with the i7 and graphics 4000, that should be enough to get you (my rough estimate)about 35 fps or so on far. It won't get you over 60 fps...

    Bee refining

    It's kinda possible. you can use an apiary and put restraint frames in. They reduce territory at the expense of production and lifespan. Also, you can now put frames in alevaries to further boost the production rate if you want with the new extra bees alevary blocks.

    Mac SOLVED — Shutting down internal server — java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space

    Ever since I've tried playing mindcrack on v8, I've been having all these problems on OSX. I've tried optifine B6, C1, C2 and C3; none seem to work. I even tried updating forge. I guess I'm stuck on Direwolf v4 until this issue is fixed.

    Bees question

    If you don't have gregtech, then they give you tin dust, which is a lot better than effectively a quarter tin ingot. Edit: never mind, you get tin dust at a 25% chance, so on average it's just as good as tin dust piles. Also, thaumic bees has some bees (if you look in the aparist database)...

    So what can you NOT make an infinite amount of stuff from in a sufficiently advanced factory?

    Extra bees provides a way to get many non-renewable resources. (though, to get to the bees that produce the stuff, it takes a long time and the uranium combs are slowly produced) What about coal? I know there's charcoal, but is there a way to actually get coal? EDIT: Nevermind. coal has a UU...

    Whats the best modpack for just playing with friends?

    I would recommend mindcrack if you like the stuff gregtech does. It has more things to do and it's more challenging than the DW20 pack is. Otherwise, use the DW20 pack. I have a small server with friends, and we use the direwolf20 pack with 6 mods added. If you like one mod that's not in the...

    Which mod has molten iron?

    That's extra bees. The molten liquids (diamond, iron, obsidian, ect) are used in a thermionic fabricator recipe for extra bees. What it is, I'm not sure.

    Extra Biomes ... Not compelling content.

    This is one of those mods that needs to be configured. Personally, I disabled over half the biomes and only left the ones I really liked. If you enable as many biomes as vanilla ones, in my experience, I have had around a 1:1 ratio.

    Tekkit pro wanting to learn more about FtB

    1. I play FTB because not only does it have more mods than tekkit, (like forestry, portal gun, mystcraft) but FTB has all the mod dev permissions. 2.In my experience, vanilla server mods have less bugs than bukkit ported ones. Plus, the mod developers are playing on a vanilla modded server very...
