    Bee production times question.

    1st. The official FTB wiki (wiki.feedthebeast.com) has become the best source of bee info recently. They now even have products in the base % instead of the obfuscated times. 2nd, looking at the distilled be the oily comb is a product at 10% chance. Since it is a product instead of a specialty...

    Unique Energy, Your Set-Ups and Plans.

    I have wondered at how effective a clay burning fuel source would be. River bees are super easy to breed, though the output is very low unless you invest up to alvearys. Alternative might be MFR sludge boiler, but at that point you are probably looking at it as a secondary fuel source. Grind up...

    Alveary Mutator and Uranium

    AFAIK that is working as intended.

    Old Adeptcraft - A collection of memories

    I do not believe you can soul shard villagers.

    Old Adeptcraft - A collection of memories

    It can, and in exact mode they come out with the same trades. Apparently they are disabled on adeptcraft though. Worry over an exploit using quest rams.

    Confessions: I never ... even though I'm told I should.

    Every building I ever build is either a cuboid or a combination of cubiods. I like how pretty buildings look, but every time I try they come out looking meh and I regret putting the effort in.

    How to feed a Bioreactor (MFR)

    I just used AE and made sure I never ran out of any of the mats. Not exactly the most foolproof plan, but it worked just fine and never caused a problem.

    VERY Compact Autocrafting [Redpower + Xycraft]

    The idea with the current auto-crafting I believe is to simply keep one of each item on hand and the xyfabs craft them as they pull out. Using managers like that would result in automatically crafting as many as the managers have access to materials. Also the manager must be cofigured to allow...

    VERY Compact Autocrafting [Redpower + Xycraft]

    The left manager will not keep ingredients internally, it will put them into the fabricator. This will cause the fabricator to create an item right away. The manager would never reach the point where it is emitting a redstone signal to shut down the fabricator. You might be able to work around...

    Project Ouroboros - the steam-based overunity machine

    That is a lot of space for just 12 boilers. IF you want to pack it in tighter use teseracts. One Liquid tesseract channel can carry both the water and fuel to all the boilers, combined with the fact that two boilers can share an output tesseract and you only need 1 input tesseract and 1/2...

    How'd you like to see mods change for 1.6?

    The thing with adding stuff like horses, is that they probably take very little actual coding. Some artist stays busy making models and animations for these little additions for the people who play vanilla and like them, while the coders stay busy improving the backend. Remember that pretty much...

    Gregtech Industrial Grinders vs. Upgraded Rotay Macerator

    I agree that by the math they should be, which is why I was surprised to find that in practice they are not. In practice adding even a full 16 overclockers I get down to only 25 seconds to process a full stack. Macerators, which need an energy storage upgrade and thus only get 12 overclockers...

    Gregtech Industrial Grinders vs. Upgraded Rotay Macerator

    I think they scale using a different system.

    Gregtech Industrial Grinders vs. Upgraded Rotay Macerator

    With 12 upgrades rotary macerators were taking several times as long as a standard macerator for me. The standard macerators seem to scale better. And yeah, both would be faster than a single redstone engine (or gate) could withdraw.

    Applied Energistics priority

    In 1.5 AE quartz is at least added to the ore dictionary, and is compatible with the new vanilla quartz. I do not know if XY quartz is or not, I just saw it on the change log.

    Applied Energistics priority

    You should be able to do something like this. Shift right click with a quartz/omni wrench on the barrel storage busses, set their priority nice and high. Then put a separate storage bus on chest, and filter it to only take the items that should be recycled. Put this one at a priority between...

    Gregtech Industrial Grinders vs. Upgraded Rotay Macerator

    from my testing in ultimate rotary macerators have a significantly lower top speed than standard macerators considering GT stack size limits. They both suck insane amounts of power at that point though. If EU is a non-concern and you simply want speed in a single machine standard maceration is...

    Impregnated Frames

    This was true for a short time, but is no longer true. You can however use routers to pipe them into a whole slew of alveary frame housings to make it easy. Just put a chest between each alveary so that they are a set of continuously connected inventories.

    Best way to use Biofuel?

    No, no it is not. It is really not up for debate. This is the way English works. I am sorry your teachers failed you. Keep on arguing though, I have officially unfollowed the thread as your arguments have gone further and further from trying to argue I am wrong, and into simply trying to argue I...
