    Red Power 2 status?

    Yeah anyone with AE or a tech pack will likely go that route and I can't blame them either. I do wish Minefactory Reloaded was more modular I wouldn't mind moving RedNet into the pack I'm using but the rest seems a bit too out of theme or high tech for even a Steampunk feel.

    Red Power 2 status?

    I see that he has been working a lot of those bugs out in the posted changelog. I tend to go with a more lowtech style of pack so this is good for people wanting something like this in say the Magic Pack or a Steampunk style pack.

    Red Power 2 status?

    If people are looking for a Project Table replacement I suggest looking at the Project Bench mod. Very simple on the surface and even has a craftable upgrade to turn a regular workbench into the Project Bench. It has the Fabricator's ability from Xycraft to show on top what recipe is in the...

    Aqueous Accumulator to Combustion Engine Ratio

    Pretty sure this caps out at just 2 water sources.

    Aqueous Accumulator to Combustion Engine Ratio

    I've thought about doing it but by the time I have the resources to do so I'm already set up in other ways.

    Aqueous Accumulator to Combustion Engine Ratio

    You can safely run 4 Combustion engines per Aqueous Accumulator. If you use Buildcraft Gold waterproof piping each side will need to hook up to an engine. If you cross the pipes except at the end you can cut off flow to the engines when they are in high demand. If you use liquiducts you can get...

    ExtraBiomesXL vs. Biomes O Plenty vs. ? (for 1.6x+)

    Hmm I thought some people were saying in this thread that they are having a hard time finding certain mod content in the biomes.

    ExtraBiomesXL vs. Biomes O Plenty vs. ? (for 1.6x+)

    I'm going to stick with EBXL because in the recent versions they have most of the mod compatibility that I want. I also love the potential that v4 is going to have. I'm also excited that Underground Biomes is merging with it. I can't wait to try it out once v4 releases.

    Something I don't get about bee breeding

    Let's see if I can help. Pure bees represent the default set of traits for a bee species. A Pure Common bee has the stats that you see out of the Bee database or wiki. Stable bees are bees that are of the same type but their traits might be different. Stable bees will always produce the same...

    Something I don't get about bee breeding

    Yeah if you want to save any bee species to use later get your self a half or full stack of drones when you make a species. You can take a brand new hive princes and breed her with say your distilled bees over and over until she becomes a distilled princess and here drones stack with the others...

    Xycraft Multitanks and Lag.

    I watched GenerikB's video last night and it sounds like after all their troubleshooting the issue was isolated to orphaned chunks. They looked at the sources of those orphans and it sounded like one instance was involving a Xycraft tank. But there are others with tubes across chunk...

    Best way pollination trees

    It is best to do bee breeding with tree breeding at the same time. Bee breeding takes time and while you are working through the species you want you can get the first couple of tree mutations as well. You can easily get Silver Lime, Bull Spruce and Cherry while you are working to get...

    Redstone Energy Conduit

    Best way to think of this is the redstone energy network takes a flat 5% off the top. It is a multi block structure so any conduit and energy cell post 1.5.1 counts in the multi block structure. I should also add that in 1.4.7 that Redstone Energy Cells didn't count as part of the network so...

    Problem breeding bees

    Heroic I know need a true vanilla Forest biome as well as the Farmed needed vanilla Plains. Seems like the biome restriction is the common theme. Perhaps trying with just soul frames.

    Why did my engines blow up?

    Zyrax, I too struggled with combustion engines at first but now I have mastered them. You have two things to worry about with them exploding. First being running out of coolant. An Aqueous Accumulator will fix that. It will output enough water for 4 engines running at max temperature. Since...

    Question on bees

    MilConDion is correct it is random. I have seen this happen when trying to breed some Heroic bees. The Heroic trait showed up on the Valiant side of my hybrid and not the Heroic side when the mutation happened.

    Tree breeding

    Biome largely doesn't matter unless you are trying to get certain trees like the Willow and Desert Acadia tree. I would get a Spruce Pine and throw it in there as well to get some of those going. Any bees will do but those that have a higher Pollination trait will make your mutated leaves show...

    Need Savant Bee Advice

    I was in a Meadow biome which is Normal/Normal and they are producing Lore Fragments for me right now. I have adjusted their climate tolerances up and down to work with them more easily. I also have them still using Books as their flowering type. So far so good.

    A mouse

    Logitech recently made one for MMOs that has a bunch of thumb buttons that can be used for your hotbar. Also the triggers in the left and right buttons are really high quality so they should last a long time for games that are click heavy such as Minecraft. I have one and love it.

    Beekeeping - Automating Frames

    I've done most of my mutations from scratch but I'm going to start to play around with mutators a bit just to see what it is like. For me most of my production bees do well enough with the Fastest production trait and an Alveary. I've been using 3 frame housings in my alviaries if I need to...
