Has anyone had luck breeding Node Bees? I have an Alveary set up with a 1000/1000 Pure Node located in the block right next to it (it's not inside the Alveary), along with a Mutator supplied with Nether Stars. I'm breeding Vis + Vis on nights with a Half Moon, and I've gone through about 12...

As far as I know, the best way to get Propolis in the early-game for those first few Apiarist Pipes is via Watery Bees: Watery Propolis in a Squeezer produces Propolis. That... is amazing to know. From making Sticky Pistons for ME Busses, to smelting them for Rubber, to uncrafting them for...

I'm playing on a rather large server, and I was terribly embarrassed to discover that something at my base is causing a consistent TPS drop (by 2-5 pts) when I load the chunks it is in! I'd appreciate any help or advice on how I could pinpoint the source, as I pride myself on being a "clean"...

(FTB 1.4.7) Other than water consumption, how does the temperature/humidity of a biome affect the operation of Forestry Multifarms? I've set my base up at the intersection of three biomes, for bee breeding purposes: a Desert, a Snowy Rainforest, and an Ocean. I have two max-size Forestry...

First time experimenting with a Tier 5 Blaze soul shard spawner, I raised it high above my base so the Blazes would continuously fall out of the entity-check zone. What I failed to realize was that the redstone signal was for turning it OFF, not ON... and with that, a constant flow of 6 Blazes...

(Forestry, MC 1.4.7) If I plant a tree on farm blocks near the edge of an Orchard Multifarm, will the multifarm harvest all of that tree's leaf blocks, or only those leaf blocks that fall within the area of the multifarm?

Is there an alternative to RP tubes that doesn't drop items and is as fun to watch? BuildCraft pipes are my nemesis, and AE cables are ugly and boring. Edit: IN MY OPINION, of course. :)

At this point, hitting the "Reply" button in this thread is trolling. (Oops.)

Nice! Which mod are those berries from -- Biomes a' Plenty is my guess?

After watching DireWolf20 describe cooling a Nuclear Reactor with Lapis Bees, I've become interested in bee-based builds of any kind, fun and/or functional, and figured I'd start a topic for bee-based ideas. To get the ball rolling: cooling a Nuclear Reactor by using Lapis Bees to recharge...

I can't believe it took this long for a voice of reason to make an appearance. The kid posted some pictures! For all you know, he's a huge fan of Eloram and her work, has nothing but great respect for her, and wouldn't dream of publicly defying a well-liked mod author's polite and reasonable...

After weeks of cross-breeding trees, I think I may have just bred the "perfect" tree you're looking for. However I haven't bred every species of tree (still missing Willow, Desert Acacia and the trees that flow from there), so I don't know whether there are trees with better traits. But this...

I agreed, until I read this tip that saved my MystCraft career; I wish I could credit the pro who gave me this knowledge, but I can't recall (it was on these forums though): Create random Ages until you find one that's just stable enough to survive in and move around. Grabbing just a few pages...

Are the Treealyzer's various stats explained anywhere? I'm particularly befuddled by the second tab, namely: the difference between "Native" vs. "Tolerates"; the relevance of "Supports" and "Family"; and why some of the "Fruits" stats on my hybrid trees are struck out with a line.

Oh my God. A few minutes after necro'ing this thread with the same problem, I create another random book just to see... and end up in a startlingly tranquil forest age where the only instability effect seems to be hunger. Checked my server, and this was the 19th Age -- 18 Void Ages, so I reply...

I was going to start a topic on this, but then I saw someone had already: I'm having the same problem: Every single Age I create lands me in a Void Age. Mine aren't entirely blank, but they're limited by my small inventory of pages: I tend to make something like "Biome 1, Biome 2, Biome 3...

Oh, good idea -- that's definitely a test I can do. (I'll update the wikis too.) That sounds about right, thanks! I just want to clarify what you mean by "multiply by 3 in each dimension": Do you mean multiply the total area (resulting in a "pollination area" of 27x9x27), or the "distance...

How are bees' areas-of-effect (e.g. 9x9x3) measured from an Apiary vs. a multiblock Alveary, and what is limited by this area-of-effect? I'm trying to breed bees in as efficient and compact a space as possible, so I'm especially interested in the specifics of their area-of-effect stat. Re...

That's kinda of what I meant with "use my barrel of UU-Matter" ;) Anyone else play MystCraft without cheating? Was it as gruelling and tedious as Wither Skull-grinding before Soul Shards?

MystCraft is one of my favorite mods, but ever since the upgrade to the new writing system I'm really struggling with getting started. I have two competing problems: One one hand, trying to create an Age with incomplete symbols (e.g. "Plains + Desert + Extreme Hills + Huge Biomes") has never...
