Given my limited knowledge: Thaumic bee research requires at least Unified Thaumic Field Theory; if you have Thaumic bees installed, you should see some bee-related research topics to the right of UTFT, even before you research them. Thaumic bees will also allow you to research some thaumium...

Speaking of lightning rods, though, any news on their lagginess? I've heard that the whole "bedrock to sky" setup is impossible because of that. Of course the lightning rod requires iridium too, but not nearly as much as, say, an ultimate hybrid solar panel. On the funnier side, I've heard...

The territory serum corresponds to the "9x6x9" that most bees have - essentially, it defines the area which the bees use to find flowers and "defend". This becomes important when you start finding bees with nontrivial effects - you might want to enlarge the territory of a bee which gives off an...

Hot tip: Like many crystallizer recipes, you can crystallize multiple logic matrices at a time. To do this, I believe you need to put in multiple bottles of water. Unfortunately I can't remember whether you need multiple inverium droplets and/or stone to pull it off... anybody else know?

Did you remember to put some blocks in the filler? It won't fill the holes in if you don't give it blocks.

"Buzz for assistance"? Darn. I've always wanted to get some distilled bees and put up a sign saying PETROLEUM PRODUCTION CHIEF or something similar, but that's not really in the same spirit.

Re: 2. One simple workaround would be to stick a hopper on top of the transposer and assign the golem to that. That would force the empty bucket into the input of the transposer. It's interesting to hear that the grey slots are output slots only, though. It doesn't matter which side/top it is?

Yes, which means they aren't currently in Mindcrack. On the other hand, I heard somewhere that Guude is looking into getting it...

If you're poor for alvearies, you could try getting some frame housings going, but obviously that means you'd have to mind the alveary. jump: The distilled bee is an extrabee that produces oily propolis, which can be squeezed into oil, processed into fuel, and burned.

I seem to recall messing around with the mixer before - it only inputs on the top, and outputs to the sides. Did you try setting a side of the transposer to output, then assigning the golem to that side?

You've probably already gone and made the ejector/relay by now (I believe the furnace only smelts one item at a time, so the ejector will probably work better). In any case, a BC rig will work well, too - objects will get ejected out of a dead-end pipe. The other end can be attached to a chest...

Funny, I didn't think Unweary bees usually needed redstone. Are you sure you aren't thinking of another species? In any case, try to keep the hive away from anything you don't want lit on fire. Trust us on this.

You can also use the Centrifuge to extract tin and copper from lava. That certainly isn't a trivial use, especially combined with TE magma crucibles and/or BC pumps.

Don't forget the Industrial Grinder! You'll probably make it somewhere around the same time as the I. Blast Furnace. It's very, very helpful in processing rare ores, and it allows you to grind nikolite ore for diamond dust, and in the new update you can get thorium from coal ore. (Yes, you need...

Direwolf20's spotlight:

As of the DW20 update, making descriptive books is a bit more complicated: it's probably easiest to look up DW20's recent mod spotlight. Also, you cannot use linking books to teleport 'within' the same age - you can activate a Nether linking book in the overworld, for example, but you cannot...

Personally, I've thought of a rather nice solution, that is consistent with what Greg's done in the past: We have established that there is an incompatibility between IC2 bronze costs and Forestry bronze costs. Greg has also been willing to get the Railcraft Rolling Machine involved in the...

Actually, besides the item frames, there is one other option I can think of. It's definitely not cheap, though: The Iron Chests mod has something called a Crystal Chest. It's essentially a Diamond Chest (think a single chest with a very large capacity) which you can see through. This gets...

It's a very new machine - it apparently eats enchantments (and, I think, nether stars?) and emits 128 EU/t - but it's difficult to figure out how much enchantment you need to provide for constant power.

Would someone tell me whether or not I'm crazy? I get the feeling that with exp turtles, a magic absorber and spawner stuff, you could create a fully-automatic energy system producing 128 EU/t per magic absorber - that is, per nether star. What I'm not sure about is whether or not this is the...
