Holy crap, that helped explain a lot. Now I think I understand a lot better. Now I won't be getting these anytime soon, but the advanced machines are my end goal of Industrious/Imperial bees, right? And those will make genetic modifications significantly easier, meaning I shouldn't worry so...

This is the only part I don't quite get. I thought the idea was to only use pure bees, and that hybrids were more difficult to work with. Also, with this, isn't there a chance that my pure princess will turn into a hybrid princess, getting rid of all the work I put into it? I may just be...

Okay, that explains exactly what I needed. Someone in a previous topic kind of alluded to being able to send a princess through a few cycles, but I wasn't too sure. That also tells me that all those Marbled Princesses I picked up will be useful for something. Hopefully generik's next tutorial...

I'm totally new to bee breeding, so a lot of the smaller details are kind of lost on me at the moment. I know my first goal is to get Imperial and Industrious bees. From there, I can get started on the advanced machines to make genetic manipulation much easier. I know that whenever a Queen...

So I'm playing on the DW20 pack, and I'm starting to get into bee breeding. I've started following generikb's tutorials, and one thing I know from following them is I'll need a lot of princesses. The problem is that the bees he's suggested I'll need the most, Meadows, Forest, and Tropical, are...

Yeah, that's what I figured. Guess I'll just have to be careful with my light sources near my outside walls. Shame that ice isn't microblocked; that'd make the whole thing really easy.

I'm just curious if there are any lightsources I can use that won't melt ice. I know that I have to keep the light level of any block adjacent to ice at or below 11, and while that means I can be careful with torches, I'd like to know if any other mods have added light sources that don't melt...

Mmkay, this gives me some ideas. I'll have to play around with routers and redpower stuff a bit if I want to go down that route. We're playing the Direwolf pack on my server, so any Gregtech stuff is out. A little sad turtles can't carry the day here for me too. I might just try and design a...

So I've got a basic nuclear reactor setup going, and I eventually intend to expand it. At its best, I'll be producing about 360 EU/tick, and I'll never have to touch the reactor while it's running. Here's the thing; I'd like to automate it more so that I can use cooling cells, automatic...

Excellent, thanks. And yeah, I figured there were better programs, but it was something simple I wanted to start with to try and implement.

In my new world, I wanted to give Computercraft and Turtles a shot. I sat down and watched DireWolf20's Computercraft tutorial series, which was a great refresher on how to program, and dove right in. First thing I tried to do was write a very, very simple refuel program to cycle through buckets...

Wow, that's awesome. Thanks for the tips on reactor progression, that's really given me some ideas.

So I'm starting to look into nuclear power, built a simple reactor following some schematics in an IC2 thread, here http://forum.industrial-craft.net/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=7681 One of the things they list is Running Costs in terms of UU matter, and I'm somewhat confused by what this...

Ahhh, okay. That makes sense. That's a different symbol for AC current than I'm used to seeing, so that explains why I don't recognize it. Thanks.

I've got an Electrical Engine that I'm using to power some of the BC and Forestry crafting tools as needed, and I have a question regarding some of the slots on the GUI. I understand what the slot on the far left is for, circuit boards with tubes attached to improve engine performance, but the...
