@jordsta95 We get it that DW20 is not your pack, but it's *supposed* to be noob friendly. Not everyone can jump straight from vanilla MC to BnB. And, the whole point of this challenge is to use a very common pack with common mods that everyone can recognize. It's not much of a community...

Downloaded server just now. Got full 174MB. It unzipped just fine.

Well, if *that's* the scenario, then IC2 and GregTech is exactly what the doctor ordered ! When you add enetbridge, you can convert IC2 EU power into RF power. And, GT can convert to EU. So, imagine a Naquedah 32K EU/t reactor converted to RF. That's a lot of power for a single block !

Rather, the tedious/long part with Thaumcraft is with the nodes. Gathering nodes takes a while, as does node bullying. The charged nodes are amazing, though. If you can get all 6 Primals into a single node and turn that into a charged node, those are the 'best' wand chargers, IMHO.

I don't have a huge need for Thaumcraft essentia automation beyond the fairly straightforward/standard setup of: Charcoal auto-fed into bottom of multiple Alchemcal Furnaces with Alembics stacked on top Another barrel/chest auto-fed into side/back so I can feed in bulk 1 Distillation Golem...

Smart man ! I had forgotten about the Bee House. You are correct about the bee house preventing new species mutations. It will (it must, really) allow trait mixing. So, it's good for puriyfing if you do it by hand. The bad news is that it can't be automated, and that's by design. SirSengir...

Very small bug (for MagicBees or Greg, not Jason) : Apatine bees require the *Forestry* Apatite ore block underneath. The GT version won't work. I learned this last night after a few failed attempts using GT Apatite ore. I then cheated in the Forestry version and successfully bred Apatine bees...

In a previous version of GT 5, you *could* extract the liquids back out. However, I think Greg must have changed something (made it more difficult). I also can no longer extract my fluids/liquids back out of the Assembler. I'm guessing he wants you/us to calculate *ahead of time* how much liquid...

Sorry for taking so long to check the forums and reply. So, for bees getting started, I would: NEI is your friend. Use NEI to see what species you can breed and should breed to get to the next step. Your first major goal is Industrial and Imperial. Make sure you know the steps involved to get...

Don't know of a chart, but I do know that GT pickaxes made from Thaumcraft shards will break diamond, as will GT pickaxes made from Thaumium. And, if you're lucky, you can find a Nickel/Cobalt vein. The cobalt can be mined with iron, you can vanilla smelt the cobalt, and use that to make a...

Early-game in the modpack I like to play, Infitech2, I use a line of vanilla hoppers in the floor, ending with a chest. The setup looks like this: vvvvvv MMMMMM >>>>>>C v : hopper pointed down M : machine > : hopper pointed to the side C : chest To make it look as neat as possible, I put...

LOL, nevermind. You will need at least Imperials pre-Gendustry before you can start using Gendustry to breed new species: var royalJelly = <Forestry:royalJelly>; recipes.addShaped(dropHoneyRed, [ [royalJelly, royalJelly, royalJelly], [royalJelly, uranium238, royalJelly]...

Alternatively, you can wait until you have the requirements for Gendustry. I'm not a big fan of Gendustry since it bypasses/eclipses much of Forestry, ExtraBees, and MagicBees, but it does indeed bypass/eclipse those, offering tech-minded people who want to do bees an alternative way to do bees.

TE and RF are supposed to be simple. TE serves as a transition from non-modded MC into modded MC. I'd hate for GT to be people's only entry point into modded MC. For more complex power systems, one should not use RF, but should use mods like GT or Reika's. TE and RF are perhaps over-used and...

Not GregTech. Thaumcraft and GregTech actually play *very* well together.

I don't make a serious run at Imperial/Industrial until I can make either Metabolic Frames (MagicBees) or Soul Frames (ExtraBees). The Metabolic Frames are slightly better and don't require much of a Thaumcraft setup to make. You can use soybeans for the Permutatio rather than copper. Without...

I like a bit of both, plus nature (bees and trees). Really, a mod well done is a mod well done. Great example of an awesome magic mod is the elephant in the room, Thaumcraft. For Tech, I like AE2 (yes, the new version !) and GregTech, among others.

The slowness is mostly MC 1.7 for you, sadly. It affects both server and client. My server spends the vast majority of its CPU cycles updating stupid vanilla creatures/mobs like sheeps, cows, chickens, and zombies. What @nonamefhh said.

Indeed, diamond pipes actually work better than Apiarists for simple Apiary recirc. If you don't have diamonds, you can use eIO item conduits or TE3 item conduits.

LOL. Well, there is more than a small amount of Stargate borrowing in GT. Methinks Greg is a big SG fan. I wonder if he pronounces it "Zed P M" like the Canadian guy or if he uses the American "Zee P M". There were some tweaks I submitted to Github that Jason pulled in. It's net energy...
