Hopefully some of the following babbling will help you a bit: Mobs spawn from one level above to one level below the spawner. Blazes are 2 blocks high, so you need to have two blocks between spawner and ceiling, plus you have to make sure that there are no blocks or no water one level below...

It does. But if you go beyond x10 Mutation rate (or x16 production chance with frames), then your princess will turn into a swarmer and disappear after a few cycles. This was a fairly recent nerf, the mods in 1.5.2 are the first version that includes these restrictions. Having pure/stable...

+1 for getting Imperial and Industrious as fast as possible. Alvearies make also breeding a lot faster. A mutation block with Uranium Ore (for x10 mutation rate) and a frame housing for an Oblivion Frame to kill the queen in a single tick. First two things when getting a new species: 1. Put...

I was about to respond that spiders could be still spawning, but looks like they also need 2 blocks room height. If that is true, then the solution would be really simple using pistons and decreasing the room height down to one block with Cursed Earth at the bottom and some solid block (stone or...

Thanks! It sounds like a lot of effort for a simple spawner, but might actually be worth a shot. And it would then need slabs or Aluminium blocks beneath the cursed earth or the result of picking of the earth would be a large dark area and mobs can still spawn there naturally. Pretty sure...

This would be then an "all or nothing" system. I prefer to have the constant resource income from natural growth (maybe even boosted with a lilypad) and the ability to switch to high output only when needed. Like warming up a new boiler or having large spikes in energy consumption when working...

Not only that. Fertilizer is also an easy way to control, how much wood you produce. Too much wood in your system and you can apply a redstone signal to the Fertilizer (the actual MFR machine :)), now the supply only comes from the natural growth. Wood level gets to low, you switch off the...

I've set up a mob spawner with Extra Utility's "Cursed Earth" and it works beautifully. Simple 5x5 spawn area with MFR Grinder, it produces 85-90 Mob Essence per hour and a good supply of mob drops. (And enough Slimeballs to make resin and rubber for a lifetime.) Now the question - how can I...

I think I can help at least with the math. :) One BioReactor produces a bucket of MFR Biofuel every 1.000 ticks or 50 seconds, regardless how many different items are in there. At full efficiency (9 items) it takes one set of items every 1.440 ticks or 72 seconds. MFR Biofuel is worth...

Darn, you are right. Thank you both! I've attached a screenie to the previous post. Just have to replace the Sugar Canes now with Barley, then that's 9 items for the BioReactor (Seeds, Carrots, Potatoes, Melon, Netherwart, Pumpkin, Cocoa, Barley, Ink Sacks). No, you have to use the actual...

You don't need to feed melon and pumpkin seeds into the planter, it only harvests the fruit and not the complete plant. And as mentioned above, I would use IC2 crops to plant them. This way you don't have to leave any space between them. Also, check Barley seed again please. I didn't add it to...

Carrots and potatoes cocoa nether wart ink (super fast to get with a Farmer) bone meal (for the Bioreactor, not the farm itself :)) Put the melons and pumkins on IC2 crops, that's much more efficient

Switch the planter off (with a simple lever) and fill one item each into the input slots. Fill the remaining slots with a stick/stone/whatever so that the planter doesn't store more than one stack of each material. Put the items into the Precision Export Bus, wait a few seconds until the AE...

Nah, haven't left my house yet. It's waaay too scary outside. :) :) But serious answer, I only did very limited exploration so far. Mainly to find green slimes and some oil wells. Haven't seen any other barrow hills, but didn't really look for them either. (And I do think the 2x2 oak trees...

Plains biome, large and flat. :) BoP did spice it up with some large trees and additional flowers (or is that coming from Natura?), but it's a good old vanilla plains biome.

Really? An MV Transformer can only explode, if you feed Ultrahigh voltage (512...2048 EU/package) into the input side. This sounds very much like you have a redstone signal on one of your HV transformers ... but then your glass fiber cables should blow up as well.

The LV transformer can supply at most 4x32 = 128 EU. If you have a couple other machine hanging on the same line, then there might not be enough left for your ME Network. I'm only using MJs for the ME stuff, but pretty sure that at least medium voltage is ok. Try to use a cable coming from...

A really good way to get started is to watch DireWolf20's single player Let's Plays, Season 5 was the most recent one. He does a lot of his stuff tutorial style and uses a variety of mods, which gives you a good idea about the possibilities. For adding GregTech, please search the forum. There...

Then you are producing more than enough energy, you are just not getting it into your ME controller. What setup are you using exactly? Low voltage (32 EU) coming out of a Batbox by any chance?

I've got a barrow hill dungeon (with the two spawners and 3 chests, correct? :)) right next to my spawn point. So yep, they are spawned as well in BoP.
