    [Forestry] Bees breeding, where to look?

    To be fair, you could do it automatically in the overworld already thanks to Soul Shards + Turtles. And also, that lets people who prefer playing on peaceful a way to get eyes without changing the difficulty setting.

    [Forestry] Bees breeding, where to look?

    Well, it can get pretty complicated once you go in depth (which is probably why a lot of people hate bees in dw20 videos.. which is sad really). It gets a little more complex if you have extra bees installed. You mention Nether bees so I'm assuming you're on the mindcrack pack, OR added EB to...

    Turtle Programs

    Well, I'd post the place I get my programs from, but I dunno if the boards censor.. I'll just say it's the page made by Guude for turtles.. Type " a place for guude's computer code" in google and it should be the 1st one (ejectd**ks.com .. if you know Guude, you should know what the ** are...

    [Extrabees] Frames

    Just a small FYI, if you want your high fertility bees to die off really fast for your supply of liquid DNA, the chocolate frames makes that pretty easy.

    Endless Dirt?

    Another solution if you want to completely automate it without needing the dirt would be to set up a Steve Carts tree farm. A little more complicated to set up but it's a possible solution. Or as MilconDoin mentioned, you can go the plantball -> macerator route if you'd rather stick to...

    Diesel/oil sands

    Just curious, is there a way to automatically change your configs depending on which mods you have installed? If that's possible, you might want to make oil/fuel worth less than normal if you have Extra Bees enabled since that adds oil producing bees. A single one of those bees and feed like 4-6...

    Is the rotary macerator safe to use yet?

    The problem was fixed pretty quickly. I didn't get a single crash in the last few versions.

    So which pack are you spending most of your time playing?

    DW20 with Extra Bees and Twilight Forest. Been tempted to add petrogen as well, but I haven't been needing EU too much yet. 2 medium solars and I have my EU needs covered for the time being.

    [Extrabees] Frames

    There is a way to do it actually. You need to use a few machines for that tho. Use a bee with a high fertility rate (forest for example) and put it in an Isolator with a few empty serum vials. Once you get the fertility serum, take that and put it in a Synthesizer to fill it, then in a Purifier...

    [Extrabees] Frames

    They're very good. I went from meadows + Modest to a pure bred Fiendish in 1 go by using 3 soul frames (Modest + Meadow gave me the common right away, which I combined with one of the other two's offsprings for a cultivated, which I combined with a 2nd Modest queen in an Hell biome with...

    I am really terrible at bees.

    If you are using Extra Bees, there IS a tech way around the biomes. Build yourself an Acclimatiser. Use blaze powder or lava cells/cans to increase the temperature, ice or glacial water cans/cells to lower it. For humidity, you water cells/cans or sand. Depending on if you want to raise it or...

    [Extrabees] Frames

    Nova frames are pretty much only for testing purposes. You can't craft them and unless Binnie messed up somehow, they shouldn't be available from Apiarist Villagers. What it does is instantly "kills" the queen AND increases the chances of a successful mutation. I believe it's 100% but I'm not...

    Electrical Engine additional Slots - FTB Direwolf20

    I've been seeing the Mindcrack people use Heating Vents (that are normally used in Nuclear Reactors) in that slot. I dunno if it's actually doing anything or not, as I have not tested it myself, but it might be worth it to try that out.

    Can the intrusiveness of GregTech be reigned in?

    Just a note on this: you don't even NEED a macerator or pulvy. You can craft yourself a few Flint Mortars (flint + bowl, 1 use each) and you get the dusts. It can't be used on higher end materials but for those, it's that easy.

    Help with Buildcraft energy

    The best option remains the TE conduits. They have less energy loss (granted, with how little distance there is, it's not a big deal, but still a good thing to note) than even golden pipes and (from what I have seen so far), don't blow up like normal conductive pipes occasionally do.

    How to move a world save into a mystcraft age.

    Sadly, that doesn't seem to work for me. It might have something to do with the fact I'm trying to load my FTB beta map but I dunno enough about MC errors to know what causes it.. I know the issue is linked to mystcraft since it looks at dimensions, but I dunno what it actually is causing it.

    Enchanting... Max lvl 17?

    Not to mention that currently, you can enchant IC2 tools (drill, etc) if you use books.

    good and simple elevator / lift mod?

    Take a peek at this video: Odedex shows how to make a multifloor elevator in that one using RP2 and WR-CBE

    DW20 pack and wrenches

    Yeah, the Crescent Hammer works. I was having that issue as well and just caved and made a crescent.

    Railcraft and Mystcraft Portals

    I posted about the crash in the bug thread. Apparently, if there's no chunk loader / spot loader on both sides (and the chunk is actually loaded), that causes the crash. Didn't used to, but yeah.
