    Alveary - Which setup is the best for mutation?

    Ooh, I've often thought I was doing something wrong but didn't find any thing to tell me otherwise. 2 uranium for any bee seems a little cheap, especially when making uranium producing bees is pretty straight forward, that said even 5 is still cheap heh. thanks for the info on chocolate frames...

    Making a Massive Lake

    hehe :D It's a good plan, still I'd dig out the hole first with no water then add the floor and 1 layer of water as working under water is a pita! :)

    Making a Massive Lake

    Dig out your hole, then use a filler make a 1 block thick floor at surface -1. Fill surface with water (you're in creative so just spam water source blocks util it's all smooth). Use filler again to clear the 1 block floor and your lake will be full of water.

    Alveary - Which setup is the best for mutation?

    Bees each have different mutation chance, for a bee with 10% chance then 1 mutator with uranium will give you 100% chance (uranium is x10), a 5% bee will require 2, a 2% chance will require 5 (using uranium),* or a 2% can use 1 nether star. Check these pages for mutator info and mutation...

    Something I don't get about bee breeding

    You get a decent amount of rocky princesses from quarrying and once you have flight (mps, jetpack etc) flying around the overworld at night (hives give off light) can get you quite a few princesses too. Anytime you want a princess of a particular type you just need to run it for a few cycles...

    Thaumic gear and enchantments

    This needs clarifying but I think an uncrafting table (from twilight forest mod) will still repair items that are too expensive for an anvil to repair. As to why unbreaking and repairing? repairing still costs aura, may as well make it cost less aura :)

    BC gates - Question about input triggers....

    empty = empty items = not empty space = not full full = full You can test conditions by seeing which ones cause the red bar (that connects the input output conditions) to light up, whenever it is lit it will trigger the output condition.

    Feed the Beast Ultimate lags is there any mods I can drop to make it lag less?

    Couple of things I do that seem to make things better (no idea if they actually do); use less xycraft bricks for building (I used to do all my floors with these) as they're animated, in client config turn off AE cable animation (if you're using ME network/cables), gregtech config turn off...

    Applied energistics @ Storage disk question.

    You don't waste any resources making smaller disks as you can upgrade them when you have enough materials to make more. Put a disk in your hand and shift-click to pop the storage unit out. I use peppe's method for bulk single item storage, 8128 cobble etc is enough for me, and having 10x 8128...

    Best way to learn about pipings?(And other stuff)

    Hi, which modpack are you using? Barrels are a good way to go, just got to set things up so stuff goes in and out the right sides (top for in, bottom for out), you mention ME in your first post so I'm guessing you're using a pack that includes it, it seems really daunting at first but really is...

    Use lava generators as backup ONLY?

    when it gets a signal into the bottom, the signal to the left will be on for the length of time you have preset on the timer So in the pic here, red block at bottom is a liquid detector (puts out redstone signal when liquid level touches it), when the detector switches on it triggers the state...

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    Without spoilers it's a bit tricky, the bees you list on the last part of your post are all mundane bees (from hives in the world), the cultivated is the second bred bee you have, you must have already seen common (or not noticed it on your path to cultivated). Go for pure cultivated and pure...

    Best mining method?

    true that.

    Best mining method?

    Ah, but we're not really back on topic as you quoted what someone's mining preference was, not what is the best mining method, which is what the thread asks. And all these pages later the answer is still impossible to answer as best is totally subjective, it is like asking what the best colour is :)

    MFR Automatic mob spawner build

    grinder range is 5x5, spawner range is 8x8. Easiest way to manage I've found is to use walls to limit your spawner to 5x5 too (double thickness on North and West sides). edit: oops auto-spawner, read your post but not the thread title so my text above may be total balls

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    I'm using this, currently only for my cobble and dirt, and it works perfect, keeps 8128 blocks (a full 1k storage) in my me network and anything else goes to the incinerator. It acts as an inventory (as far as the game is concerned) as pipes connect to it etc, it just doesn't need a player...

    Use lava generators as backup ONLY?

    If I was trying to do this (going from top of head here): 2 mfsu's one on solars (mfsu1) with redstone set to emit when empty, other on thermals (mfsu2) redstone set to do not output, redpower state cell and not gate between. Not gate keeps the redstone on mfsu2 unless it's needed, state cell...
