I think I got it from the hill cherry tree. Either hill cherry, or chestnut, or walnut trees. They have the highest sappiness by default, I think. In Mindcrack 1.4.7....I think I read that the sappiness trait was't fully working yet.

Purifying the traits of a tree, to make it pure-bred, is no different than in bee-breeding (see my sample saplings in the image below). All it requires is an iterative process of breeding the desired traits until the saplings have all the desired traits. For example, see below. Just understand...

Flyer = Works in rain. If your base is going to be underground, I guess it won't matter. I believe rocky bees have all three by default (with the extra bees mod I think). Otherwise, some forest bees...have a low% chance of having the flyer trait. You only need a winter biome to do the initial...

It means I have an apiary that loops into itself, and all excess are sent to a void pipe. In the apiary is a pure-bred common princess, and the same identical (in terms of traits) pure-bred common drones. Whenever I need common bees, I'll just come and grab half of the stack and go off. Because...

You just need one programmer. The programmer never vanishes when making the identifiers. Start saving gold. You'll need it for making the identifier. Put gold ores in the industrial grinder (with mercury cells) to get triple gold output! Enjoy the labor of gregtech. Hahaha

The chance of what you get back is equal from a princess to drone perspective. It only depends on the species across both columns, for the princess and the drone (and the number of drones the princess can produce). 1) I always have 2 basic apiaries. One looping a common, and one looping...

Yeah that's why if it's possible...try to do your first batch with about 64 blocks of iron? That'll get you 4 stacks of dark iron...which should last you a while. Then you gotta do the annoying ender pearl farming.....and blaze farming (both will be needed for routers, and some of the...

Routers are good for managing bee farms of the same bees though. You definitely don't want to connect alvearies with different bees. The princesses are going to go to the wrong place, etc. Use BC pipes for unique princesses. Use routers for large-scale farms of the same bee. :) Using routers...

Yes, you can definitely manage alvearies that way, but I find it cumbersome to have so many BC pipes around. I prefer the clean setup of a single 1x6 stretch to manage all the alvearies. Right now, however, I see that you only have 3 alvearies, so it isn't too bad. The piping would be messy when...

Okay....here is my setup...in pictures. Hopefully it helps you. Sorry, I don't have any fraps, etc, related software to show it to you in video. So these screenshots will have to do. This is how I connect a humble 3x3 alveary setup. We're going to be focusing on where the cross-hair is...

So this is how it works. With three routers, you can scale the alvearies/apiaries to however many you want. So say you're going to alveary route, with a 25 alveary production line, in a 5x5 setup. You make your alvearies and separate them by one block. Connect your alvearies with anything that...

Yeah, routers are truly much better. Only thing is that you need a lot of machine filters....which can be a pain to manufacture given how slow the process is.

If no clear guidelines were given prior....then it is fair game. Tell the quarry owner to do it in oceans and it won't be as easy to one up the quarry. It is still, however, a crappy thing to do.

Actually, I've never noticed this ejector upgrade previously. I just read into it and I must say, it's looking pretty awesome already. Thanks for this heads up! I too prefer routers and use them for everything in my setups!

Use routers for stuff like the propolis. Quickly get into routers, and you can do massive chaining of alvearies (of the same identical bee type) and only need 3 routers to control them all.

If space efficiency is your thing, consider my wireless MJ setup here (link here). It's no larger than 5x5x5 blocks. It's 8 electrical engines with intricate circuit boards (2 tin tubes, 2 bronze tubes), each producing 14 mj/t. All the engines are powered by a MFSU that's powered by an...

Can't you use a filter with pneumatic tubes? Pneumatic tubes are much more intelligent in dealing with things like this and won't result in items being spit out. If for whatever reason, it won't handle it right (e.g., doesn't insert into the right slot), use filter > pneumatic tubes > router...

The irony in that picture cannot be overstated. The heroic bee....WILL PERISH!!!!!! (eventually).

Yeap, I agree with this. Running quarries for the sake of running quarries....seem silly. It's like you're just cataloging the seed used to generate your world in an endless trove of barrels.

Have you been able to reproduce this issue in creative? I'm personally at a loss as to why this ishappening. It makes me wonder if it's a glitch with destroying the filler while it has a non-placeable block inside it (and not specifically the grav-gun).
