Nope, there is a cap. The most you can produce is two of each product and one of each speciality. The number of frames needed to hit that depends on the bee.

We are getting a bit OT, but since the initial question is answered why not. You can automate soul sand, it was actually one of the first things I had. MFR sludge boilers provide soul sand at a low chance. Since they are used so rarely I have been swimming in them all game. I keep two going full...

Witch auto-spawner. I do not think I will ever make hard to obtain soul shards again. Give me a couple domestic animal shards and an auto spawner any day.

This is blasphemy! You can never have too many of something. Deep storage chests exist for a reason. (and that reason is that I am a hoarder)

You have to load the alveary up with frames. 9 frames for a default slowest platinum, 7 for fast, 6 for fastest (the last one untested yet). You will get 1 platinum every 2 minutes (a comb per 30 seconds), which I think is probably enough.

The problem you are having is that the interface is too awesome at keeping itself stocked. You need to account for this in your design. This means either using an emerald pipe to pull each item type, multiple interfaces, or possibly using a different system entirely. Oh, and the level emiter...

Or if he decides to make 64k storage cells. At more than a stack a piece he couldn't even half-fill a drive.

Indeed, but so can everything besides quartz and xy stuff I think. If "can be made renewable" makes every resource equal/infinite, then no item is more rare than any other and any talk of efficiency is irrelevant. I am looking at it from a perspective of how early and easily the resource can be...

Well, depends on your version of efficient. A soul frame uses a lot less rare resources than ender pearls or uranium. It also lasts for many many breeding cycles instead of using a unit every single time, they also reduce lifespan as a bonus, speeding how fast you work. If you mean efficient in...

Yeah... that has exactly none of the information I requested unless I am either blind or it was added in the last 2 hours. (well, it has the correct info on basic frames that they each double the chance and stack multiplicitively, but that was already found) Thanks for trying to help though...

The time is a lie (or more accuratly an obfuscation), it represents an average time for a default bee to produce the product in a basic alveary. How it actually works is that each 'bee tick' (each time the bee lifespan goes down, ~30 seconds and likely based on your servers tps) the bee has a...

Enderpearls: bees. Who does not love doctoral bees. Also centrifuging lava, then centrifuge the electrum, then convert 1 gold > 8 iron > 2 ender pearls via EE3. Neither option is as fast as a mob farm, but I know from experience that an enderman farm produces WAY more than you need, so slower...

I disagree, and I will prove it. Give me one item you get from mob farms and I will give you at least 2 alternative automated (or semi-automated) renewable sources in the ultimate pack. (I am not certain about my ability to do this, but I think I will be able to). Arguably too efficient for...

Sounds like you use soul shards a lot. Try not using them at all and getting all the same production! (one idea might be to update MFR and use the auto-spawner, just gotta figure out how to get lots of mob essence without spawners.) Trying new things is what is the most fun. There are so many...

Stop working on my current project and work on a different one. This is common, it took me 3 goes to finally "finish" the Super Boiler nine thousand, and I still havent gone back to make it pretty (probably because I drop to about 3 fps when near it due to all the boiler animations). Or throw...

So what you are saying is that you use extra bees to do something entirely different than what we are talking about, and that is not basic. Awesome! Thanks for the clarification! Not sure why it applies to the conversation though. You seem confused. When did they patch it so that quarries...

Thanks this included some numbers, as well as an alternative set of numbers for basic frames (as well as stating they stack multiplicitively). It has always been absurdly easy to move the species/traits of a princess over to another existing set (I assume that is what you mean by "duplicate"...

Yes, I found the caps and 'bee tick' time as well, and finding that minimum number of basic frames is done via simple trial and error. I want to know how to best use X frame slots to maximize lifespan while keeping production speed maxed. If you are interested in keeping generations low (such as...

New Version! No new functionality, but a lot of usability improvements. Thanks to MilConDion and the rest of the wiki team the base values are now listed on the wiki. MilConDion was further kind enough to generate a nice table of all the bees so that I could integrate lookup functionality into...

I imagine if you are in a server where it is very hard to find enough wild princesses at all. I can not imagine needing more than one production bee of any type once you hit alveary though... I am amazed at how fast you can produce in an alveary.
