Pretty sure they also stop wires/pipes from interacting with the machine on that side. Does using different plates change the color of the displayed plates? I want to cover my machines with bronze and titanium!

Tree breeding can take quite a while. The speed depends on the pollination trait of the bees you are using. Not all the leaves on the tree will change color. It is done one block at a time and it isn't always on the surface. I would recommend temporarily changing your video setting to fancy...

Oh you were talking about forestry trees. In that case, you'll either have to do it manually or use a forestry multifarm set to work as an orchard. MFR harvesters and planters don't work with forestry saplings. Again, if you are only after cocoa beans, I would suggest using a vanilla cocoa...

Picking up swarmed hives with a portal gun deletes any custom data they had, making them not drop anything when re-placed. The best method for automating swarmed princess production would indeed be quarries, however. Horizontally, Swarmer hives can generate about 20 blocks away from the...

If you're talking about forestry trees, the leaves will have small "fruit" textures that gradually get darker over time. IIRC, there is a trait that determines how quickly the fruit mature. Hitting a leaf that can produce fruit with bonemeal will instantly ripen that leaf so that you can see...

I saw one of those once too, in a savanna. Wasn't player made, the chunks were new.

Holding ctrl while the advanced nano chest's engine is firing (not just on, firing as in you're holding space), your speed increases, quite a bit actually. Gravichest flight is literally just creative mode flight, turn it on with f and double tap space. Just like creative flight, sprinting and...

I hide my wiring but not my machines because I kind of need to use them. Wiring doesn't go with my building style either.

I'm fairly certain BdoubleO went over tree breeding in his FTB let's play. B-team representing!

Hmm, they must've changed it. I remember deploy ears working while pipes wouldn't. What do you mean by it worked for a bit then stopped?

I think using a deployer connected to a timer works better.

Oh, I guess if you want to keep your bees in the nether, you would need the +5 tolerance.

Use the search bar, there are quite a few threads already asking the same thing. I personally suggest playing with bees and trees. I once found an iridium ore block in a game of ABBA rules and still lost.

You don't even need an acclimatizer for that. Rocky bees naturally have +2 both temperature and humidity tolerances, just extract the trait from them.

I think a turtle programmed to plant, bonemeal, and chop might be your best bet. I don't remember if MFR works with forestry saplings, but if they do, that would also be a great way to do it as fertilizer can be used to increase the speed of growth.

I find efficiency 5 to sometimes be more of a hindrance when I'm trying to do precision things like gathering an ore vein. I have efficiency 5 on my fortune drill and that thing is pretty much a jackhammer.

I wouldn't recommend using block breakers and deployers to "automate" your system. Carpenters need to know what recipes they need to use. :p

Make sure you have a good mj infrastructure, those extra bees machines can suck a system dry.

What version are you playing? That exploit was patched out a while ago. For bee guides, I would recommend watching Generikb's BEEcademy or Florastar's bee university. The latter is a little dated but still a good resource. Also check out the multiple FTB wikis. The official one is more...

Using bee serums is actually a lot easier than manually breeding duplicate bees once you get the hang of it. By the sound of it, you already have an industrious bee and drone pair. Just let them run in an apiary loop for a while until you have a couple of extra industrious drones. Throw the...
