    [Forestry] The perfect bee?

    Greetings, I've been messing around with bees, trying to optimize each specie and to get all their stats to be pure instead of mixed. I was wondering, is it possible to get the best stats on all my bee species or is that just an impossible/too complicated task?

    Building a Thaumcraft Room

    The stone is grey, I think it looks blue because the pic was taken at night. here's a better shot of what it looks like - with a captive chicken (http://images.npsx.net/minecraft/chicken.jpg I think TyDoku is just for vanilla Minecraft but I still use it for FTB because I love all the textures...

    Building a Thaumcraft Room

    I put the TP in my sig. The stairs are Stone Brick since Xycraft doesn't have stairs. I'm now thinking maybe I should use netherbrick stairs since I'll be going with the netherbrick floor. Next step is decorating. I'm thinking about putting alters in with those thaumcraft flames in top for...

    Building a Thaumcraft Room

    Back to the white trim. I replaced the red center and the blue xycraft brick walkways with netherbrick.

    Building a Thaumcraft Room

    Replaced the white with the green. Think it looks very nice. I might swap the green and the red though:

    Building a Thaumcraft Room

    I'm trying to figure out this floor but I'm not really liking any of my designs. I think the colors are just too bright.

    [Forestry] What to do with the old bees?

    I'm on Direwolf20 modpack. No extrabees here though bees seem complicated enough, dunno if I want to dive into extra bees :P

    [Forestry] What to do with the old bees?

    I was wondering, when I finally reach Imperial & Industrious, is there any reason for me to keep the princesses for Noble, Majestic, Diligent, & Unweary? My original plan was to setup 5 apiaries for each species which probably would involve alot of time, breeding and resources but if I don't...

    Building a Thaumcraft Room

    I don't think balsalt stairs would look good... maybe marble. It might blend in with the white Xycraft bricks. I wish Eloraam made it possible to make stairs and halfslabs out of balsalt and marble without having to saw them down. Couldn't be too hard to code, right? Hell even Notch was able...

    Building a Thaumcraft Room

    Well I made some progress on the tower. I think the black Xycraft brick is looking good with the balsalt brick base. The marble floor is temporary for now. I'm just unsure what block to use for the floor. I started working on the entrance to the tower. Originally I was planning on doing a...

    [Forestry] Sinister bees?

    I've read that if you breed a Pure Modest with a Pure Cultivated, you unlock the Sinister Bee branch. So far I've breed 10 Modest with 10 Cultivated and only gotten hybrid Cultivated. I'm wondering if I misunderstood or have been misguided in the breeding of the two species. I DO NOT have...

    Building a Thaumcraft Room

    I thought of that. I gotta say I really like the sky in my quarry age but I already found a place to setup in the overworld which is quite far from home. As for the texture pack, I like all the block textures in them and I like the netherbrick texture and color. I'm just saying the deep purple...

    Building a Thaumcraft Room

    Think I found an area. I just built a frame of the outer wall which has a diameter of 30 blocks. The wall is currently made with balsalt brick. Might change it to the black Xycraft bricks. I really wish the netherbrick was that deep purple in my texture pack but instead it's a bright red so I...

    Building a Thaumcraft Room

    My obsidian kind of looks black so I'd say Balsalt brick would be another substitute. I'm thinking about building the tower in an Extreme Hills type biome. The tower will be circular in shape. What I'm thinking of doing is have an outer wall which would have a diameter of 30 blocks. Then I...

    Building a Thaumcraft Room

    right now the area that I've allocated for the project is underground, underneath my house. I think I have like 8 blocks of height to work with and as much X & Z as possible. So it could be like a basement laboratory or something. Another idea I had was to build a cylindrical tower but then I'd...

    Building a Thaumcraft Room

    So I think it's about time that I experiment with Thaumcraft, of course I'll need a place to conjure all my magic. I'm just having a creative block. First off I'm curious as to how big and tall I should make the room. I don't want it to be too small as to not fit all the thaumcraft 'machines'...

    Transporting items & liquids between ages

    I noticed that the server still crashes when sending minecarts through Mystcraft portals to the Nether or Mystcraft ages. I was planning on setting up a quarry powered by biogas engines and using railcraft to transport the biofuel from my railcraft tank to the engines. I was also planning on...

    Getting the GraviChestPlate - The Road to Success

    That was another consideration. Before I found out about the Gravisuit, I was planning on running the nuclear reactor non-stop, creating UU-Matter, and converting the UU-Matter to copper to restock the quad-uranium cells and using any excess UU-Matter to craft other stuff. Usually I have a...

    Getting the GraviChestPlate - The Road to Success

    I have more than enough coal thanks to Fortune 3. Changing tin cans to bottles only cut the amount of tin by 96. I think I might finally build a quarry and throw it into a MystCraft normal age and hopefully get lucky with ores

    Getting the GraviChestPlate - The Road to Success

    Oh that'll definately help out. I used tin just for the cans since they stack unlike buckets *grrr*
