It is now possible to find "Pristine" bees that will live through an infinite number of generations. The term "Swarmer" has been removed, but replaced with "Ignoble". An Ignoble princess might die in an automated system, but if manually cared for in a "Bee House" those can also live...

It depends a lot on the mods you have picked and how many you have. A pure BuildCraft world has a much larger chance of transitioning smoothly to new versions than a massive pack with a hundred mods. The more you have the more problems you'll get. My world is currently only Forestry, RailCraft...

It wasn't me. CovertJaguar created the new system. I don't know if it fixes the issues you found, but I thought it was prudent to mention there has been significant changes.

I find it unfair that you make assumption that there are things we won't fix. There are game play elements we don't want to change, but we can fix a lot of things within those parameters. :( Item pipes has actually changed a lot since the time of TE v2. There is now a completely new Event based...

I don't think those recipes were ever a part of Forestry, but came from some addon.

If you really want to fine tune the supply a little bit more, you could always try BuildCraft pipes, gates and wires.

That is a lot of dynamos on a fairly small Boiler. Is that a balanced setup? Edit: nvm, I'm dumb, you're even saying that you are providing extra fuel to the Dynamos.

What version of Forestry is it? There was (and might still be for all I know) a bug related to how the Apiary determine biome temperature and humidity. It can trigger especially if you've had the world through multiple versions or different combinations of mods that adds biomes. If this is...

If you already have Forestry you can use some of the new bees to reanimate or revive mobs.

If you have a fuel type that can be used by a Boiler, then the Boiler is probably still the most efficient way of using that fuel.

Less is more. To a certain extent. The more mods you add the easier it will be to quickly get things working. The reason being that there will always be a mod to cover your for you with finished solutions. The reason so many mod packs get so large is that they are compensating for the lack of...

Longer lines of conduits are more compact than 1-2 extra engines at each location? ;) No, I'm not really serious anymore. I understand what you mean.

If you read my last two or so posts I do actually apologize for the miss communication... I simply tried to say that while gates and wires is an integral part of BuildCraft piping and therefore do not take up any extra block space or machine surfaces, Thermal Expansion would require more space...

With external mechanism I meant, not a part of Thermal Expansion conduits. Gates and wires can be placed on the pipes, taking no additional space. Bah, I'm tired.. Anyway, BuildCraft does indeed force you to think about what you build. There are pros and cons to weight. "does these machine need...

I find it amusing that you are nitpicking on tiny idiosyncrasies in my post instead of replying to the meaning, which of I'm sure you understood.

Sigh, sorry for being unclear. I was trying to say that regulating BuildCraft engines is more convenient than regulating Thermal Expansion Dynamos. BuildCraft comes with components made for this purpose, while Thermal Expansion must rely on external mechanisms. For example vanilla redstone...

Is it better with power loss at the engines? TE dynamos will continue to use fuel even if there are no machines requesting power. They are heavily throttled, but if you want to stop them completely, you would still need some kind of signal line between the machines (or battery) and the dynamos...

That is not correct. A Quarry that has stopped will use only 1 MJ/t. If it uses more we have a bug. If you let your engines run at full speed the power is consumed by the wooden pipe. The engine isn't throttled like you see with Thermal Expansion dynamos. You will have to explicitly throttle it...

My TV does, they call it "stand by". That reminds me that I should unplug the power cord. I haven't used the TV in ages.

It's not impossible that BuildCraft get energy buffering of some kind. It'll probably be leaky as hell, but with the capability of smoothing out power production in systems with spiking demand. This is not a trivial thing though, so I'm not sure were we stand on this right now.
