    This totally just happened: TiC Bees (Manahmana bees!)

    True, but remember that easy access to repair materials means you don't need the electric or self-repair upgrades, meaning you can use an upgrade slot for other stuff.

    This totally just happened: TiC Bees (Manahmana bees!)

    Wow. Manyullyn bees have a 16% chance for a nugget? Seems pretty high. With the fastest production trait, you should only need 2 frames for a guaranteed nugget per cycle.

    Well, its not exactly OP, but the haste given by a xeno's reliquary mining potion overrides the mining fatigue from using a TiC cleaver, meaning you can hit super fast. So manyullyn cleaver + loads of nether quartz + xeno's alchemical potence (haste and strength boost) = ultimate wither killing.

    How much biofuel does it take to start a steam boiler?

    Technically you're correct, the overall efficiency of two LP boilers is higher than one equivalent HP boiler. However, since the OP is using biofuel (which is renewable), there's really no reason to use LP over HP. Once you have an umlimited fuel supply, space efficiency is more important that...

    I see. So how rare are these trees? I've done quite a bit of searching, but I have yet to find one.

    Automatic crafting table :(

    I think (but i'm not certain) the auto crafting table was from redpower, meaning it no longer exists in 1.5. You could try the GT electric crafting table, though i'm not entirely sure how it works. I can't think of anything else off the top of my head, though there's bound to be something.

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    Ok, I recently started on the FTBUnleashed pack + GregTech, and I thought that it would be nice to make my home inside one of those giant redwood trees from natura. However, I have no idea how to get saplings for them, and I haven't seen them in the wild. Since I can't find a wiki for natura...

    Actually, I've found the scythe isn't a good weapon at all. In the tool forge (whatever its called), it says the scythe damage is 'low'. This is important, as it means it only does 75% of the 10.5 hearts its supposed to do, meaning it can't even 1-shot creepers. Incidentally, AFAIK the cleaver...

    Efficient ways to transfer power across mods? (noob question)

    I'm afraid without power converters, there isn't. You have to spam electrical engines. When using them, make a simple circuit board for each one (or whatever the lowest tier circuit board is called) and an equal number of iron electron tubes. Use a soldering iron to attach 1 tube to each board...

    The Best and Simple Mining Turtle Tutorial - Faster than Quarry!

    I don't like those programs that only mine every 3rd layer. Whenever I used them they always missed more than half of the ores.

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    Quick question about MFR planters: do they work with forestry saplings? Because I just tried to get one to work with sequoia saplings, but nothings happening. The harvesters are working fine. Also, is there a way to stop puddles from forming whenever it rains?

    Alternative treecapitator?

    Its not bad really, you can even make one out of stone. Just make a stencil for the required components, put them in the part builder with some cobble, and you're good to go (this is assuming you know how TConstruct works already).

    Alternative treecapitator?

    You can also use the lumber axe from Tinkers construct, it basically does exactly what treecapacitor does (chops the whole tree when the lowest piece goes). If its a tree it doesn't recognise then it'll chop in a 3x3x3 cube, centred on the block you chopped. EDIT: Just noticed you said you're...

    2 Questions about tree breeding

    Sorry for bumping again, but i've run into a new problem. I replaced my apple trees with balsa-apple hybrids as you said. However, because the dominant trait is balsa, they won't crossbreed with the pure balsa trees (trees of the same type don't crossbreed with each other). This means that i'm...

    2 Questions about tree breeding

    Ok, i've been doing as you suggested, but i've got a (potential) problem. I've been crossbreeding apple oak trees with balsas as part of the first step. However, they're all balsa-apple saplings, not apple-balsa as I was hoping. Does this matter? EDIT: Derp. Should've read your thing properly...

    2 Questions about tree breeding

    Thank you. :) Incidentally, I was also going to breed them with blue mahoe for high sappiness, but its the same principle right? I also wish i'd known about bee houses until now (well, I knew of them, but I didn't see the point of them). EDIT: I don't know how many people know this, but aura...

    2 Questions about tree breeding

    No, its not that. They are all silver lime/apple oak/balsa hybrids. I just meant they all have crap traits. Is there an easy(er) way of giving them only good traits?

    2 Questions about tree breeding

    Ok, this tree breeding is starting to get frustrating. I managed to get a silver lime-apple oak hybrid with decent traits, but now i'm trying to crossbreed it with balsa trees for highest saplings. However, they're refusing to co-operate; I just end up with a bunch of weird crossbred saplings...
