    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    I only found out about this thanks to Lathanael, we currently play on the same server. I also find the setting "environmentallyFriendlyCreepers=true" really funny named :)

    Pulling out of an apiary ?

    Why all these conditions on the gates? I simply permanently pump the wooden pipe, works like a charm.

    Best way pollination trees

    Do you want that apiary to just cycle the princess and drones back into the apiary when the queen died? Put a wooden pipe at it (powered by a redstone engine), which leads via another pipe into an apiarist pipe, connected to the apiary. The pipe is configured for "Any Bee" on the side of the...

    Best way pollination trees

    Dkittrell: Soul Frames will only increase mutation chances of bees, not of trees :) Kai01: Industrious Bees have fast pollination speed. If your bees don't have it, you've lost that trait during your purifying process. A list of all speeds is at...

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    Always try to purify a new species and keep 10+ drones somewhere, so that you can always set a random princess to that species. To get an overview of how many possible mutations a bee has, you can craft an Apiarist Database (from Extra Bees). This will show you in the mutation tabs the number of...

    Red power tubes of cobble

    Someone mentioned this one or two months ago, in his case it was the output of a SC tree farm. What you could maybe do: attach a filter set to cobble to the tube and put an incinerator (if you have tubestuff) or a lava block to the output side of the filter. Alternatively build a Deep Storage...

    MFR Automatic mob spawner build

    Why didn't I think of this? The belts are part of MFR too, so the solution was always close by...

    Little confused about LV/MV/HV

    Nice that my old list still flies around here as the seemingly definite source for overclockers. I feel appreciated :) Here is a new version of the pic. Yellow for updates you should always do (more speed for equal or less EU cost) and also added the packet sizes and cable types needed for...

    Gun powder generator

    Guys, you are aware, that the original post is ~half a year old? Back then no implosion compressor existed.

    MFR Automatic mob spawner build

    A question from some tests in a creative world: Is it correct, that the spawn range of the mobs is bigger than the killing range of the grinder? (using MC 1.4.7 with MFR 2.3.2) It feels like a spawn range of 9x9, so 4 grinders needed to kill all possible mob zones. In my tests I had a creeper...

    Dumb Modular Powersuit Tricks

    Damn. It was convenient not having to switch the tool constantly while strip mining. Can this be disabled in the config?

    Tip on Breeding Trees? (Mindcracked)

    Just put a few Silver Lime and Apple Oak (or Silver Birch) close together and have some Bees with a good Pollination trait (remember to only use flowers which are able to pollinate trees)buzzing around close by.

    Unknown item in Minecraft !!

    This is a spawn egg, when right-clicking with it on the ground(?), you'll spawn the mob it represents. Usually. Your egg doesn't seem to be coded to a mob though.

    Bee question to the experts

    Correct. For purification purposes use only chocolate frames if anything, because they mainly reduce the lifespan of your princess, thus giving you the next generation faster. Soul frames also reduce lifespan a bit, but they last shorter (80 bee ticks instead of 240 bee ticks) and should be...

    Bee farming questions

    They can work independently from each other, they don't care. It also doesn't matter if you have one flower feeding 20 Apiaries/Alvearies or 100 flowers feeding 1 Apiary/Alveary.

    Behold! Super Apples! (Might not want to eat)

    Which bees do you use? If the pollination trait is very low, it can take a looong time. There also seems to be a bug, that mutated leaves don't always show up. Sometimes relogging fixes it. Maybe mutation doesn't send the information "hey, I've changed" immediatly to the render engine and needs...

    Rolling Machines

    Rolling Machines cannot be sped up with any kind of upgrade. If you produce so much stuff, you can only parallelize it, i.e. build more Rolling Machines.

    Bee Automation Problem

    This kind of automation cannot set a level of e.g. keep 16 drones in the apiary. All or nothing. Just accept the full stack of drones in each apiary and move on.

    Uses for excess Princesses?

    If you do extensive quarrying, you can end up with hundreds of rocky princesses. In this case you can go to an apiarist villager of your choice, since one of their possible trades is: princess->emerald.
