    Tree Breeding (Spoilers)

    Since this is on the front page again anyhow, I figured I'd note that only some types of Bee pollination will actually cause tree breeding. The wiki says that bees must have "flower" pollination but "mushroom" definitely works too. Rock, Lily pads, and Magic Flowers (Thaumic Bees) all have not...

    Gunpowder

    Decompiled Forestry code from whatever version is in Mindcrack 8.2 (forestry/plugins/PluginForestryApiculture.class): BeeTemplates.demonicA = new Mutation(Allele.speciesSinister, Allele.speciesFiendish, BeeTemplates.getDemonicTemplate(), 25).restrictBiome(yy.j.N); BeeTemplates.frugalA =...

    Repairing Apiarist Clothing?

    Yeah, I would try using the Uncrafting Table to repair them with woven silk. Assuming this is an actual question rather than simply a joke: an alloy furnace will smelt it down and give you back all the iron (31 ingots) which makes it almost completely "free" to repair; the only costs are the...

    NEI's highlight tips being turned on will also turn TC3 flowers into those pink boxes when you target them.

    Sequoia Tree Questions.

    In my experience using Mindcrack 8.1 & Ultimate 1.0.1, the multi-sapling Forestry trees will only accept bonemeal on a specific sapling -- center for the 3x3s and NW corner for the 2x2s.

    Sequoia Tree Questions.

    Since the sequoia is a 3x3 tree, you will need 9 saplings. I have no idea how quickly they grow on their own since I invariably bonemeal mine (use the bonemeal on the one in the center.)

    I had been looking for this too. Thanks to EnderA on the voxelbox forum I've found that they are (strangely) stored within the vanilla .minecraft folder in the subfolder mods\VoxelMods\voxelMap.

    Cool bees?

    Ooh, neat. I can see myself spending far too much time inoculating various bees with the fireworks effect to take advantage of this. For me, the coolest bee is Edenic due to the Explorer effect. I love being able to surround my Enchanting Table/Anvil/Uncrafting Table with XP-granting bees...

    Leoprine bees

    Leporine: of or resembling a rabbit or hare. (courtesy of the Free Dictionary) They were added as an "Easter Egg" in a very literal sense.

    Leoprine bees

    Celebratory bees were originally enabled around the end of February, but they don't have an actual special timing; I bred some today in Ultimate. The general area for Leporine is April 6-15.

    Forestry/ExtraBee/Thaumic Bees Breading and Production Chart

    Perhaps you should combine your efforts with SunnyDaze who has done a similar thing with the google spreadsheet Master Apiarist Database

    Non-renewable Items?

    Regarding music discs, Skeletons have an attack range of about 10 blocks and Creepers have an attack range of about 3. So you can set up a situation where a player stands about 10 blocks from a skelly to draw aggro and creepers are dropped to low health in-between them. The skellys will...

    is there a list of mods in ftb that are 1.5 or 1.5.1 ready and a list of mods that might not make it

    Enderman Spawner Drop Fail

    Have you tried simply putting a roof over the spawn area to keep them from being in sunlight? Before we got a soul shard I had a small drop trap on our server which was just basically a 20x20x3 room with a quicksand floor high above the ground, and the endermen which spawned there never...

    That is changing; the solar turbine will soon produce steam. Quoting neptunepink's post on MCF regarding changes in Factorization 0.7.21: See Zjarek_S' post on a setup using this mechanic that has a pic which looks very much like the image you posted.

    Soul Shard question

    While you do get "free" souls due to vanilla Anvil mechanics, it doesn't give quite that big a bonus. The Anvil treats the soul count like the amount of durability left. So in the current situation, repairing shards in the Anvil combines the soul counts of the two given shards but adds a bonus...

    List of forestry/extrabees bee species/UIDs?

    Two caveats on the /givequeen, /giveprincess, and /givedrone commands. First, the species name is case-sensitive so it must be capitalized as in MilConDoin's example. Second, it is better to give a princess & drone rather than a queen since a queen spawned via that command will be unfertilized...
