Re: spade The universal tool was the one. It looked like a spade. I've only ever used it for this 1 recipe. I couldn't get the easier version to work for some reason. And, yeah, the maintenance hatch is perhaps the ultimate example of Greg's "stare at crafting table until you go blind" OCD. On...

Oh, yeah, I guessed I've purged that painful memory. The damn spade (shovel-looking thingy) just for this 1 recipe was especially a royal PITA. So, when it was time to craft my 2nd one, I crafted like 10 of them to last the rest of the game, I hope.

You'll also need it for making plates/molds for the Extruder when you get to MV, but you don't need that many plates...maybe...12 max. However, that shaped crafting recipe also accepts the easier IC2 version. So, yeah, it'll last basically forever if you make it out of something decent.

No "WHY YOU NO ?" discussion is complete without the obligatory:

That's one berry funny story !

It depends upon what you use to make it from. Wrought iron and higher-tier GT cutters should last longer. But, they are a PITA to make.

I 2nd this. You'll need a decent amount of rubber for the electrical age, and golems auto-farming rubber trees gives you wood, rubber, and sticky stuff for misc. things like torches. At some point, you'll have (an upgraded) JABBA barrel full of sticky resin and will be set for the rest of the...

Mine have not blown yet. I have 10 currently and manually replace the rotor well before they are depleted. I also need to install logic gates and blast proof.

None that I know of yet for 1.7.10, but for 1.6.4, Horizons is a good one.

Not sure exactly what you mean, but assuming the game boots and runs, you won't be getting the gameplay experience that Greg or Reika intended.

Huh. You're right. Bummer. DW20 is usually all about magic and bees. No big bugs with MagicBees AFAIK.

If MagicBees is in Oblivion is in. They are just rare to find and require a Dragon Egg to make. I've always found at least 1 in every world while exploring early-game. Never made one. And, bees and time consumption go hand-in-hand ;-)

Yes, I love my bees :-) Re: machines Binnie's ? They're slightly buggy and documentation is sparse, but they work well enough. Much less power, but more complicated. There's no less than 5 liquids specific to Binnie's Genetics machines. I recommend intermediate holding tanks, ex. ExUt drums...

With GT in a pack, it's very difficult for it to be a "kitchen sink" pack since GT is the center and many mods don't balance well at all around GT. TiCo is a good example, and not because of the infamous personal/code drama, but because TiCo is all about powerful tools and easy/early-game ore...

Oh, one more argument for eIO : the Reader Tool !! You can SHIFT+R-click to copy conduit settings and R-click to paste. This makes for quick and bug-free configuration of a lot of bee homes (Alveary/Apiary).

If you haven't already, upgrade to Java 8 (1.8.0_25). Also, if you haven't tweaked your java args, I highly recommend it. I use the following on a 4-core processor: java -Xmx4096M -Xms2048M -XX:PermSize=256m -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:+CMSIncrementalPacing -XX:ParallelGCThreads=4...

Yes, I love, love, love the eIO in/out mode with self-feed enabled :-)

I use mainly eIO item conduits with a single BC Diamond Pipe to filter out extra drones. On each Alveary/Apiary, I put 1 eIO item conduit and 1 chest. On the eIO facing (touching) the bee block, I set to "In/Out" mode. On the "In" sub-tab, I raise the priority. On the "out" sub-tab, I enable...

I believe it's the FTB launcher window. Once I configured mine to close after game launch, my 1.7.10 client lag issues were greatly improved.
