    Aren't those iron pipes backwards?

    Mercury

    Don't think so, I made a thread about it in the support sub forum a while ago but never got an answer. Your best bet would be to just pump the mercury cells directly into the grinder whenever you need it. You can place a cell in the liquid slot even if there is already water that you pumped in...

    bee help

    Hmm, that's definitely strange. IIRC, bees with the swarmer trait will have a (-) next to their name, but from the sound of it, your bees shouldn't bee swarmers. Seems like it might just be a glitch with pipes or chunks, but I really have no idea. If at all possible, could you give a couple...

    bee help

    How have you automated your bees? Have you "automated" the breeding process for mutations or the production of products through a pipe loop? What have you done with your bees? Attempting to increase the mutation rate too much via multiple alveary mutators in conjunction with soul frames can...

    General: Bees

    Bees are definitely a lot easier to manage if you already have the infrastructure set up to run your base. If you're up for it, there are a lot of methods for producing energy from bees. The most common method is to get a few bees from the oily branch and then using the oil they produce to...

    General: Bees

    Bees can take quite a bit of effort to get fully into, but they can have a huge payout in the long run. I definitely encourage you to tinker a bit with bees to see if you like the way they work. They can sometimes be a bit finicky, but they love it when you treat them right. The biggest piece...

    Easy Beacons for Days!

    Yes, it still works Ok, you never actually said that in your first post, and the page for beacons only lists iron, gold, diamond, and emerald blocks. Fixed So is there a list of all the useable blocks anywhere?

    Easy Beacons for Days!

    Does that mean you could make a pyramid out of leaves and feed it chestnuts? Or did you just not read my post? Beacons are vanilla.

    Easy Beacons for Days!

    My brother and I have recently set up a wither skeleton spawner and started farming nether stars, Seeing as we both already have portal guns and I need the ender dragon egg for bees, we decided to make a ton of beacons. Now, we didn't want to eat up all our iron on pyramids so we did a little...

    Could use some help making mixed metal ingots =(

    Just for future reference, the NEI page for a recipe shows the required method for producing an item. In this case, it would be something along the lines of "Shaped Crafting" but it can also say things like "Industrial Blast Furnace" or "Unshaped Crafting." The arrows at the top of the page will...

    Forestry: Sort analyzed bees from non-analyzed bees

    That sounds worse than the Yogscast bee breeding system. If you insist on using that horrible system, I would look into the computercraft analyzer. It allows you to use computers to collect data on the traits of analyzed bees.

    Do you think IC2 is dead?

    Is there a way to generate Cracked Sand?

    Are you trying to make forestry fertilizer? As far as i know, there isn't a way to generate cracked sand, but if you have Gregtech installed, you can use potassium + nitrogen + compressed air recipe to make saltpeter. To get the cells, simply put enderpearls from an ender ender into your...

    The best factory...

    If you have the time and the know-how, bees in alvearies with frame housings will be your best friend. Renewable metals, gems, oil, and minerals.
