It's doubling the production chance per bee tick (every 27.5 seconds). Let's take a look at the Valuable Bee (for Platinum Combs): Base chance 1%, slowest speed, alveary with 8 proven frames: 1%*0.3*2^8 = 76.8% chance to produce a Platinum Comb every 27.5 seconds. Now lets breed the bee to fast...

I just tried it. Following setup (from bottom layer to top layer): XXX XXX --- POX X-X -T- XXX XXX --- X = any solid material, O = Obsidian Pipe, P = any item pipe, which will lead to whereever, T = Turtle, - = air. Works like a charm with dropping the items down into the o-pipe.

IIRC, just have the apiarist pipe directly next to the alveary. If the most specific option for the drone doesn't work, because the adjacent inventory is full, then it will take the next possible option, which will probably be the same route as your products. Just use a second pipe like this to...

My thought was, that the manager brings the stuff in over time, so there would be times when the reactor runs with less than 9 fermentables in it. The turtle would check if it had all 9, then insert them into the manager and finally activate the reactor. Same problem like the direct manager...

For the retriever: IIRC it needs a redstone pulse. Use the redstone API to pulse it.

turtle.dropDown() and have an obsidian pipe two below your turtle? Maybe build some kind of shaft around it, so that the item will safely hit the pipe?

What is a good way to make sure, that a Bioreactor from MFR only runs with all 9 internal slots filled (for max efficiency of 160mB Biofuel/item)? My current ideas are: a) Two buffers from RP2, where 9 of the 10 sides are filled by different seeds/saplings/..., on an external input (e.g. biofuel...

http://mc.nessirojgaming.eu/bees/index.php?title=Main_Page is my Bee Breeding Wiki. http://wiki.feed-the-beast.com/index.php?title=Category:BeeKeeping is more or less the starting point on the official FTB wiki, I didn't have a good idea for a starting page there yet. Are your questions answered...

When you're using apiaries with 3 frames and the refined bee crossbred to fast speed (from cultivated) you'll produce on average of ~7,5 heat ticks per second (via oil->fuel, I ignored the biofuel here). This means that you'll need a little more than 2 apiaries. Crossbreeding can be done without...

Ah, you want to power a boiler. Then shorten it to directly use a refined bee for biofuel + oil. If we assume 4 production frames with a fastest bee: 2 oily combs per 27.5 seconds and 1 petroleum comb per 27.5 seconds. Each comb will produce its propolis with a 60% chance per comb and each...

Go all out bees? This is just an idea, I don't have tested it: Spoiled Bee for the Spoiled Comb for the Mulch. (Or Decomposed Bee for the Decomposed Comb for the Compost.) Fruity Bee for the Fruity Comb for the Apple Juice. Farmed Bee for the Wheaten Comb for the Wheat (this can be fermented...

Overview of which Flower types can pollinate, as far as my current knowledge goes: Forestry: End, Jungle, Mushroom, Flowers, Wheat: Works Cacti: Works only on Acacia and Baobab Nether: Doesn't work Extra Bees: Lily Pad, Reeds, Rock,None, Redstone: Doesn't work Thaumic Bees: Books, Magic Flowers...

It is strange, that you need that, because it works for me without it.

AFAIK Extra Bees checks, if dustDiamond exists in the oreDicionary. If yes, it will produce diamonds dusts, if not it will produce diamonds.

What exactly did you write? /givedrone Penguirrel Tipsy should work (if your ingame name is Penguirrel)

Did you produce exactly enough biofuel, so that the tank between your fermenter/stills and the 36HP boiler hasn't changed its contained level? That's where the 255 would fit. I assume, that you produced more than that.

If it was 9x3x9, it would become 27x9x27 with the apiary in the exakt middle of that. Btw: the correct size is 9x6x9, not 9x3x9 :) Thanks for that information, missed it totally.

The Apiary is in the center of the effect, so in the case of 9x3x9 it extends into X and Z dimension by 4 and up/down by 1 each. I'm not sure which block of an Alveary counts as the center. You can test this by putting the flower a certain amount of spaces away and waiting 27.5 seconds. If the...

Are you 100% sure about this? This is the first time I've read anything like this. Just remember, that water bees have the slowest pollination (also called flowering) trait, so the base chance to even check for leaves is a measly 5%.

I prefer mulch from the apples (with help from a moistener or an apple orchard, since the apples aren't enough). Fertilizer is used for the multiblock farms.
