    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    Another thing I forget to mention is that I don't have a spider farm, and I also choose this way since it's very roundabout :) I know the difference between frames, I thought I would just make it more interesting. My questions are answered, thanks again.

    I got the routers working, they are just a bit slow since there is only one source of frames. I have an automatic seed farm, but since I don't want to use seed oil using normal seeds or make another tree farm for walnuts, this works for me. Thanks for the help.

    Super helpful info, thanks so much! Supplier pipes don't exist it the Mindcrack pack.

    Proven frames can only be attained through trading. Since they are easy to get, I plan to trade a ton of emeralds for very large supply which I only need to refill every blue moon... and distribute that. I would like to use routers, but don't know how to get it distributed to every frame...

    In addition to my previous question, I need a design to get proven frames quickly to 12 alveraries. (Ignore the disk drives, I tried to use routers.)

    Speed doesn't seem to matter in the long-run with small amounts of active queens, but I didn't test speed with large amounts of active queens. Both radioactive queens and emerald queens have the slowest speed trait.

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    This may or may not be a simple set of questions: I am currently using the Mindcrack Pack I want to set up 12 alveries, all with 4 proven frames and a radioactive queen producing radioactive combs continuously. One emerald can be traded for six proven frames. If I let the system run for an...

    Using the mindcrack pack I'm trying to farm uranium using bees, but switching to proven frames made the time it took to make uranium ore a lot longer. I currently have two alveairies, each with 6 proven frames. I'm currently using one of each for uranium and emerald combs for the moment, but...

    Design for Radioactive Bees Area

    I have radioactive bees on purpose to farm uranium, so it's an aesthetic thing. As you mauy tell, I was trying to use tanks and lights to mimic leaking barrels full of radioactive waste. If I use mycelium, it will eventually spread throughout the entire field way outside where the adversaries are.

    Design for Radioactive Bees Area

    I'm testing some designs, and I don't know how to make an area look contaminated due to radioactivity. I have two radioactive bees, so I want to express that somehow. I have two apiaries, which I want to be sealed off somehow, due to the whips which spawn from the 400 vis node which I plan to...

    Thanks Neirin, and everyone else, for the info.
  14. Q

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    I plan to use two alveraries anyways, due to the 50% change of uranium ore per comb. As for mutation, I already have a pair of radioactive bees due to the mutator + wither boss farm I have, making a 100% chance mutation rate. I don't have room for something like 64 alveraries, so I'm fine with...
  15. Q

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    Ok, but why is two alvearies, each with 3 impregnated frames better than one alverary with six (or 5) resilient frames? I've read something about genetic damage, but it doesn't seem to be occurring, and production rate stays the same. Also, fast speed doesn't seem to change production at all...

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    I don't have any of that in the Mindcrack Pack. With 12 frames, it gives me about a stack of radioactive combs per 30 minutes. (About 20 in the first 9 minutes). I am willing to make the 12, since they aren't hard to make...but is there a limit to how effective frames can be? Due to this, do...

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    I have a radioactive bee, and was wondering what would be the best setup to farm uranium ore. I tested many (75) radioactive bee in 75 apiaries, connected to gates to make it automatic (no frames)... a radioactive bee in an alveary with 12 frame housings, with each housing containing a...

    Multiple Mob Farm Statue Design

    I currently have 4 mob farms (wither skeleton, wither boss, chicken, and creeper), where 1 is a dropper. I would like to have a main dropper farm next to the one for creepers, which is in the shape of a creeper. To express that the farm is for angry zombies, endermen, cows, spider, and pigmen...

    Highly Impractical Lightning Rod Case Study?

    I thought of something I would like to get tested, just to see what would happen. It involves setting up multiple Lightning Rods (lets say 20-100+) in a Mystcraft World of endless lightning (caused by multiple Dragon Egg Siphons, where multiple dragon eggs are allowed), near every Lightning...

    I want to make the most amount of power possible, since I can't change the space horizontally or vertically (upwards). Would 10mj/t for each engine be best, or would 8? If each produce 10eu/t, then 10*(21*9) = 1890eu/t to keep them all going, which is about 3.69 or 4 ultimate hybrid solar...
