    Agrarian Skys help, venting, and discussion thread

    I put a platform (unlit) in a Taiga Biome, and covered it in snow blocks. Then for fun and games, I took pot shots at a distance at anything that wasn't a blizz. I actually had them spawn the first night, but before I could get a safari net, they either despawned, or fell off the edge. The same...

    OK, getting there still. I'm still way short on the cobble quest, I only have about 6.5 million, I think I need to spend a bit of time expanding my cobble gen. I managed to capture a blizz and pech in Safari Net, so I'm spawning blizzes at the moment to get blizz powder for the Gelid Cryotheum...

    I build my mob generator low, and use a grinder to kill the mobs. At first, you can power it with mob essence and gun powder, so it can run itself. You still get an excess of gunpowder and mob essence. I funnel the mobs with conveyor belts. I build it the same as a water trap, so the mobs still...

    Is there any way to get more monastic bees? I got a breeding pair from a quest reward, but they seem to be a starting breed. I'll need to check my hives to see if I have any there. I've noticed that when using Alverys, that I sometimes get a second princess, is this common/uncommon or breed...

    I've had that problem, I've found the solution to be log out and back in again.

    How do you get redstone from Blood Wood? I assume for the farm, that you would basically build it upside down as that is the way that the trees grow.

    Beginner's Guide to Blood Magic

    This may be answered somewhere in this thread. I'm playing Agrarian Skies and I'm trying to get my head around some parts of Blood Magic. I've managed to make the sacrificial knife, the Weak Blood Orb and I've got enough runes through reward bags to make a tier 2 altar. I can store up LP in the...

    Build a Big Reactor, I've got a good sized one now that is producing something insane like 5k RF/t, I can actually turn it on and off due to the fact that it produces more than I need. I've got 3 Resonant Energy Cells, so I can leave it off for a while. I'm actually going to increase my storage...

    That reminds me. I got a good reward from a bag. 3 stacks of nether redstone ore. At 24/block through a pulveriser, that gives me about 4,600 redstone. I think that's a good reward. I tried doing that 16M storage unit before, and yes, it surprised me when I ran out of redstone. I think I had a...

    I only got the Fluid Crafting Chamber to work with a pattern that required a bucket of water. I was using it to craft a bucket of water into the fresh water for Pam's Harvestcraft, that worked. From that I assume that you can use it to craft a recipe that requires a bucket of fluid, but not one...

    Considering how much of a bastard these things are to craft (lots of materials, multiple levels for each item), build the smallest one you can originally, plug in the patterns to then help build a bigger one. Then only dismantle it when you've got the components to expand it.

    For Big Reactors, does it make a difference for cooling if a fuel rod has a flowing block of liquid or a source block?

    My MAC is 5x5x5 and it contains 18 CPU's, so I don't think that is an issue. Not sure I follow you here, when you say make 1024 water, do you mean submit a request to create 1024 fresh water? I'm only storing a limited amount of water in the AE which is done in a Mariculture tank connected to...

    Last night I put a liqui crafting thingy onto my AE network to process Water Buckets into the Fresh Water for Pam's Harvest Craft. I then set it the task to create 1000 Spaghetti and Meatballs. However, despite there being adequate water in the system, looking at the crafting, there is a notable...

    When collecting pollen from trees as well as breeding different tree varieties, do you need to have analysed the base saplings first?

    While it's possible to use tofu instead of meat, I'll admit that I'm doing the bacon cheeseburger, and spaghetti and meatballs "properly". So I am farming cows and pigs to get pork and beef to make them non-vegetarian. I know that it's not necessary, I just like trying to do it properly. For...

    So there's an element of luck in picking a bag as well. That's a little bit frustrating. Mind you reward bags a hit and miss anyway.

    Agrarian Skys help, venting, and discussion thread

    When completing a quest, why is there an option to select a loot bag for the reward? I get why there are sometimes a couple of options and one may be a reward bag, but why offer two with the choice between them? Is that a feature for Multi Player? I would have thought though that Reward Bags are...
