MFR is intentionally incompatible with forestry trees. Doing so would be insanely overpowered because, for example, my single multifarm with bred trees powers 15 boilers and could power more with one more trait boost. Instant growth would increase that by 10x. It is likely all other...

I had this problem, but without ender tanks and all the way back in 1.47. It has something to do with trickle use or something. What happened was I put one bucket of oil in a combustion engine to start up a refinery, then looped the refineries output from a tank into the combustion engine...

Problem with this high ground is that your 'why not' is flawed. You use both to boost past certain species, not use one exclusively (queue Spanish toddler with 'why not both' subtitle). I run two alvearies with 6 sieve blocks each in my pollination area. As an example, I was doing pines...

I thought most people did this :P This is how I've always copied queens, throw them in a cycling apiary/alveary with around 16 stacked drones. I don't bother with species serums for intermediate species but keep a stack of 20-30 drones of each type in a bee chest. I do, however, max fert...

i should note that i get insanely frustrated with floor traversing as well. its hard to make stairs that look aesthetically pleasing that don't use up a lot of space. On my current build, the stairways are outside and it fits well, but its a bit of a hassle switching between the basement and...

I tend to first choose a chunk grid layout to use in a 3x3 or 4x2 area to use, then designate a couple of the chunks to function and the rest to form, and build a randomized exterior wall within the chunk boundary. For example, I'll use a long L shape in a 3x2 pattern and carve out a shape with...

Not sure which of the fruit trees are in extra trees/vanilla forestry, but there are several other fruits in 1.52 that produce fruit juice, like plum, papaya, and banana. Maybe some of those are usable in orchards?

tree breeding question, forestry decided to use some bad wording to represent one of the tree breeding conditions: "MINIMUM HEIGHT FROM BEDROCK OF 60.0" - Great Cedar What does it mean? Its hard to tell if it needs to be closer to bedrock or further than 60.

Its not really you, so sorry about being a little too scathing with my discussion. Its become almost impossible to talk about difficulty on the forums lately without being met by an onslaught of responses criticizing the play style Zorn so eloquently put with his racecar analogy. I came in...

So what it boils down to is you don't have the time to be bothered with the details, but insist that those of us who enjoy the details and are rewarded by the developers for our attention to detail shouldn't get a bonus. Sounds a lot like 'I want what he has but without the effort' to me. I...

This is incredibly naive. Idle power draw is standard for industrial machines. Transmission losses are standard. You can't argue real world analogs when suggesting we ignore the laws of thermodynamics. I'd also like to add that its incredibly simple to control power use, its just that you...

What kind of saplings are they. The fermenter won't accept, or at least didn't use to accept, rubber saplings. It might also have problems with certain types of BoP saplings or TF saplings.

treat the number of frames like an exponent, and frame multiplier as the base. 6 impregnated frames would be be 2^6, or 64x the base comb chance. Same reason 4 chocolate frames reduce a bees life to around 1/16 instead of 1/4. The reason for the nerf was allowing 6 impregnated frames meant...

I dont think thats correct. Chocolate frames are a 1.5x boost, where impregnated/proven are a 2.0x boost. it takes a lot of chocolate frames to reach the 16x production point. it takes 7 chocolate frames to make it to that point. It could be that theres a soft cap of 1/16 on lifespan...

This is really ironic. Why? Modding APIs and modding itself is generally about "shoehorns to make them fit the way anyone wants them to." A modding API is just a complex config. Of course, MC is using a workaround at the moment but that's beside the point since their making an API. A modder...

The biggest concerns are changes from 1.47 to 1.52, then there are other changes slated for 1.6 I think. For the 1.5 transition, there is now a soft cap on production and mutation bonus via frames. If you go over this soft cap, there is a chance your princess will turn into a swarmer and...

if i recall, you can use the same colors from diff sides, right? Or at least I thought. that'd be 96 possible inputs. but yeah, i agree that having to hunt for levels can be tedious. maybe make a room with them and item frames or signs? i see what you mean now, you want an ME level controlel

Yeah, sorta. I was trying to say you can hook up a red net connection to any number of level emitters and run it through red net functions, with the output redstone emission being pointed at the export bus. It allows you to set up any number of conditionals, but requires a level emitter for...

True about the modder, but so far the AE modder is publically resistant to functionality that's already possible through more complex means. I was just trying to stand in his shoes and look at the request from that perspective. As-is, you can point to level emitters towards an and/or to get...

You don't really understand what namasdiaf is trying to point out. People enjoy gaming for different reasons. You come off as really preachy and derogatory to anyone who enjoys gaming in a different way than you in almost every thread. You constantly deride people who find satisfaction in...
