    gui.maximum worked for me.. took quite some time though still. possible issue is your bees have too short a life to actually produce pollen? try a long/longest life with fast/fastest production

    what's the best way to automate chestnut production? i'd presume there are certain tree traits that are better to have than others.. and well.. would an MFR harvester work? fruit picker?

    Must have run it for 100+ hours then. Did you use a server + offline chunk loaders? obviously an entirely different situation if you did

    650k dirt = you definitely have to worry about dirt again I have 4 tree farms (1 sapling, 3 leaves) and close to 200 barrels.. for 20+ hours now.. and I'm just about halfway.

    any way to see whether something is stored in your AE system vs. in an inventory connected to a storage bus? I'm starting to build my storage room (deep storage galore) but want to make sure that everything is going through so I don't use any space on my drives for no reason.

    anyway to disable rain (either through in-game mechanics or a gamerule)? it's getting annoying also, was the quest to get specific forestry saplings removed? I just finished unlocking bees and trees and don't see it. Annoyingly, I got radioactive bees going in anticipation of the last quest...

    I can't get drones in my regular or upgraded filing cabinet. I also couldn't get it to play nice with AE since I would have to manually whitelist each drone/princes = annoying. I'm still having the issue that bees with the same exact genome are not stacking in the magical filing cabinet which is...

    i'd recommend either automating this OR setting up a 9x9 grass are with a vacuum hopper overhead. Fill up your inventory with cobble, take bonemeal and a sickle and go at it. Let the vacuum hopper pick everything up and send it to nearby chests (you'll need quite a few). The odds of getting any...

    I was hoping to just use a filing cabinet but I guess a subsystem would do. do bees that are identical genetically but have different 'generations in captivity' not stack in a filing cabinet though? ah guess so.. haven't got to tree breeding yet but may as well, as you said.

    yea i'll try again but the normal filing cabinet wasn't working for me for either drones or princesses.. the magical one was for the princesses I'll grab "fast" from cultivated and fertility from wintry.. will keep looking for fastest as I progress! Got Rain/Nocturnal/Cave from Robust! Is...

    Agrarian Skys help, venting, and discussion thread

    Couple of bee questions: 1) anyone have a good list of what traits I should be looking to add to my production/short life template life and what bees I can get them from? Still looking for a few.. fastest and max fertility especially. 2) what bees should I be end-gaming for? currently on my...

    what would everyone say are the best bees to breed for production? I was thinking of at least getting diamond, emerald, purple dye, certus quartz and redstone.. but what else is a useful product I should get from bees? I want to eventually get every bee going (at least for drones if not a useful...

    Yea, I've been using gendustry with shortest + fertility x3 life traits as I hunt for bees that I can make into a better breeder template. Even with the industrial apiary max life span upgrades, I'm not getting any extra princesses.. just drones.. so I haven't been able to progress to other bee...

    okay, thanks.. was I supposed to always do this or did mine get bugged somehow? i was wondering if I was on the wrong mode because i thought I was supposed to get extra princesses in AS.. haven't seen that happen yet so its been pretty difficult to progress in bees.

    when I look in my beealyzer, it says Behavior: normal isn't it supposed to be on behavior: agskies or something?

    how do sacred saplings typically spawn? I think all they did was make it so a sacred sapling wouldn't grow like they do in other modpacks so it should still have the same spawning rules.

    are you sure? I thought it stopped when it no longer had anywhere to output mob essence? weird.. maybe it was working and I was just somehow chewing threw tons of ender pearls? I had over 500 previously though I think Platinum gravel is exactly a product from the drill as well though. Not sure.

    I've never done bees before.. it always seemed very tedious. I'm just getting into things now and am going straight to Gendustry. Can someone kind of.. tell me what going only with Extra Bees would entail? Would I just not be able to make mutations directly? I was thinking of getting every...

    the latest version (2.1.5) I was wondering why I ran out of ender pearls all of a sudden.. turns out I had filled up my ME system with mob essence so the grinders all stopped. I am now using the QDS with a fluid level emitter to dump excess mob essence so those can keep chugging. No way I need...
