I've seen the acclimatizer take multiple stacks of materials before having the intended effect. Just have to leave it for a while and let it do its work. If you have access to advanced genetic machines, I'd recommend putting a whole stack of drones in the acclimatizer and getting them to...

Episode 71: Everything costs iridium

Is a steam locomotive an instant kill with quantum armor? If so, find a way to tie him to some train tracks, silent movie villain style. :-D It'd take some engineering effort, but I'm imagining something with an embarking track that picks him up through warded stone, then a disembarking track...

Ooh, that's good to know. Maybe putting non-pollination serum on all of my bees wasn't such a great idea after all... though it does mean I can run them near trees I don't want cross-pollinated, which could be handy. Lots more unintuitive mechanics in tree breeding than in bee breeding. It's...

Ooh, thanks. I'd been needing some of that info, particularly for Thaumic bees, and this came at the perfect time. Seriously? I guess everyone else on the planet will have to stick to industrious bees for pollen production then...

This is all you need for indigo flowers: beekeeping.flowers.custom=214 Dunno if you can change the ratio by adding more entries, but it'd be worth a shot if you're looking to increase yellow and red flower production. Yep, bees don't need line of sight to their flowers (whether flowers are...

Episode 70: Steam powered bees

Two in a row! Episode 69: Apple orchard madness

Episode 68: KABOOM

Glad to help. :-D

That all sounds right, except for this last part - any reason you wouldn't just re-purify your working princess if your mutations failed, rather than use up a new rocky one?

Yep, really depends on your needs. I'm always finding myself with excess wax and not enough honey, but I guess you wouldn't if you're just running Industrious and Imperial most of the time. Yes and no. Faster production will help (or better yet, Fastest from Aura bees), but each bee species...

Though you do need Imperial to get royal jelly (unless you want to go for Classical from ExtraBees, but that requires you to have Heroic first, so Imperial is probably a lot easier in the early game), there is a reason to keep Majestic bees in production. The rate at which they produce dripping...

Episode 67: Apiculture is a full time job

I'm pretty sure I've observed bees producing their specialty outside their preferred climate, given enough tolerance. Early on, it's helpful to acclimatize a whole stack of drones to Both_5/Both_5, then isolate that trait so you can inoculate all future bees with it. I'll have to do some testing...

Keep doing what you're doing and you should get lime eventually. According to my cheat sheet, it's a 15% chance, but it's always possible to have an unlucky streak and not get when you want. Tree breeding takes a lot of patience. I find it's more productive to leave bees to do their thing for a...

I have yet to figure out the logic behind this. I can have two partial stacks of identical drones in my inventory, try clicking them together and observe that they don't mix, wait a little bit, try again, and they stack just fine. One of these days when I get into this situation, I'll have to...

Yeah. If the region hasn't reverted to the way it was originally generated based on your world seed, you may have deleted the wrong one.

Wylker is a good one. I don't think he's actually using the FTB launcher, but the mods he uses have a lot of overlap with various FTB packs. He's older and more mature than your average YouTube LPer, and has a great perspective on things. Haven't fully caught up on his stuff yet but I've really...

The mystery deepens. Wonder why it works for some and not others... Liteloader was the only thing that made a difference for me.
