    Experience collection? + Animal Farming?

    Umm... could you specify "autonomous activators" ?

    Experience collection? + Animal Farming?

    So, I'm planning on creating a blaze farm in the overworld (using a portal gun to transport a spawner) and am wondering on how I can collect the experience. I know I can use brain-in-jars, but they are quite expensive to make (20 exanimis per jar, which isn't found in almost any items) so I was...

    Thanks :) The poll? Just curiosity :P

    Auto cotton farm? (solved)

    What blocks are good for making an automatic cotton farm? Basically I'm looking for a machine that can harvest the cotton, without destroying the plant itself.

    Bees!

    I'm in a woodland biome, have 4 roses & 4 flowers next to the apiary, but both meadows and forest queen's have "hostile environment" According to the apiary, temperature is warm 170% and humidity is are 20% What am I doing wrong?

    Bees!

    OK.... Wtf is up with that video? Second, yeah I know that much, but I can't do much when the bees I do have "hostile environment" and I'm not sure what they need...

    Oh of course, I'll do that right away!

    Bees!

    I'm starting bees for the first time, I've done a bit of YouTube research, but there is still something I'm confused about. How do I know what the environment requirements of each bee are, with the information given from the beealyzer?

    Disabling a farm automatically? (solved)

    Ah yes, thanks for this! Didn't occur to me. I just made the redstone signal go to the nearest energy cell and all is good :) In my opinion, this was simpler than redstone signals on the harvesters (they didn't seem to do anything, but I may have done something wrong)

    Disabling a farm automatically? (solved)

    So, having made my MFR tree farm, I wanted to set it to automatically stop running after x amount of leaves had been collected. I plan on using the ME Level Emitter (from AE), but can I somehow use a redstone signal to disable MFR harvesters? Also, are ME Interfaces supposed to output into...

    Essentia automation?

    Hooray! It seems that, after a fair bit of experimenting, I have managed to get things to work properly! Here we have my MFR tree farm, with saplings coming from the ME Interface (as I have another tree farm, providing plenty of saplings). The wood immediately gets smelted into charcoal before...

    Essentia automation?

    Sounds like a plan! Trying to use an ME Interface to export charcoal into the bottom of the furnace though, but it doesn't work for some reason. I have charcoal supply, the arrow is pointing in the right direction and I've tried outputting into itemducts, stone transport pipes and a chest, all...

    Essentia automation?

    Thing is I already have a steve's cart farm, so either I make another one with MFR to harvest leaves or I sort out the piping (somehow) and use cacti. I think this may work, but problem is, if I connect all the pipes between the three alembics (assuming I use cacti) then the system will block...

    Essentia automation?

    Ok then, sounds good. Anyone got a simple tutorial on how to use MFR for tree farms? I have a steve's carts tree farm (5000+ saplings in storage) so I just need to collect the leaves. Recommended setup anyone?

    Essentia automation?

    I am aware of getting herba from cactus, but the issue there was that (as cactus had 3 herba, 1 water, 1 perdito), I couldn't get the right essentia to go to the right jar. Originally, I had an alchemical furnace with 3 alembics on top, but the alembic did not always end up with the same...

    Essentia automation?

    So, currently I have an automatic wheat & barley farm. I made some thaumcraft growth lamps, but am having to constantly fill up the herba (essentia) jar to power them. Is there any way I could automate the production and filling up of the jar?

    Thaumcraft Research?

    Thanks for this, the video is very helpful ^^ While I'm here, (as some of you may know), I discovered essentia tubes aren't so good anymore, and that I should use golems instead. How exactly do I use golems to move stuff from the arcane alembic/alchemical furnace into jars?

    Thaumcraft Research?

    So, since I last played FTB, it seems thaumcraft researching has changed. Previously I would use the scanned element point things to light up correct aspects/symbols on the sheet, before connecting them all to create a loop-like thing, completing the research. Now the symbols fade in on the...

    My base!

    Ah yes, I've heard a lot about that, but quite frankly (using the DW20 pack), there is plenty of stuff I still need to learn how to do properly (bits and pieces from literally every mod), so adding a new one seems a bit overwhelming.
