Unless it could better AE in some way I think it would be rather pointless. Other than a couple of lag issues with the import/export buses (which I understand have since been fixed for next mod pack release) AE works pretty much flawlessly.

Oh. I'll bow to your superior knowledge on this one then. My REC was pumping planks out of a 1024 stack barrel for my IC generators so if the explosions were destroying the wood then I probably wouldn't have noticed the loss from that amount anyway. I do know one thing though: it frightened...

I set up my genepool machine and RC tank today, then I hooked up a wood pipe and autarchic gate from the side of my indexer to the genepool along with an overflow pipe back to the indexer. I don't know how many thousand bees I've genepooled but after a full day running I'm now left with 300...

I can't speak for chests, but when I had an REC hooked up to a wooden pipe pulling out of a barrel it makes a lot of explosion noises (same as TNT going off) and visual effects when you forget to turn the REC power down to 1-2 MJ/t instead of 50 MJ/t when you power it. Also at 50 MJ/t it will...

Wait.. ? How can anyone run out of nikolite?o_O Surely some wind up or you've never been underground. Once you get down to diamond level it's about as common as the stone you're digging to find it. :eek:

@ BB, thanks for taking the time to write all that, it's really helpful and appreciated. :) I spent most of my time doing tree breeding yesterday but I did get a genepool and RC tank built and currently have about 10 buckets of DNA. I've not tried it yet, but is it possible to automatically...

I'm a few weeks into bees so I can relate to the above. As snoder says, it's well worth going bee hunting at night as the hives usually give off light (not always, so don't rely on it). Meadows hives are on the ground in wooded areas and imho are really easy to find. I had no issues finding...

I'm willing to bet £20 that if they removed : - RP timers - RP relays - RP rs tubes - in fact anything related to RP item transport that 90% of their lag issues would be gone instantly. Imho the so-called fix was solely the result of removing all the chunk loaders. I reckon that if they...

I only asked in case there was an automated way of doing it :). Of course I could've just put them in soul frames to begin with but I wanted to 'level up' quicker. Anyway it's kinda moot now because I've got the pure imperials and industrials now. Had some really bad luck trying to get the...

What is this MCPC+ you speaketh of?

Yes, I already do that with the frames : 2 "ticks" with chocs then take the queen out and per her in my soul frame apiary for the final 2 ticks (obviously only for mutations). I was wondering, do any of you guys have an automated way to mutate them? For example, can you set up some sort of...

Update: Had a glass roof over the entire farm for 2 weeks now and NO cart disappearances.... I was losing on average 2-3 per week before. It's got to be the lightning then imho. :eek:

@ snoder, I actually got the diligents from just one inactive trait on a common drone with a pure common princess. I'm pretty sure I got the pure diligent drone from that breed along with a common diligent drone and a common diligent princess. I did use soul frames and thought that they were...

Thanks bomb. Getting the hang of this now. :D Using these latest tips I've managed to get not only the pure majestics but now the diligents as well :D. I'm gonna run these for a while to get some drones then try for the imperial and unweary, then industrious. Is it best to let them run with...

Wait.. So this is where I've been going wrong then? I assumed that in the case of say, a cultivated princess and a cultivated majestic drone, using the soul frames would greatly improve my chances of them mutating into majestics? So that doesn't work then and if I want majestics then I'll...

Thanks. So for my own info, where should you stop using the soul frames in the mutation process? Obviously you'd want to use them if you have, say, only 1 unactive trait of the bee you're aiming for, but you say not to use them when you have 2 of each trait? Can you explain why? Is it...

So I'm back playing with my bees again. :D I've just got a majestic cultivated hybrid princess and a matching drone. I've majestic on the active trait for both, so do I still need to use the soul frames to try to get them to mutate them to pures, or should I run them without? Only one step away...

I am trying to edit the spawn co-ordinates for our server world. I understand that you need to edit the level.dat file. I have dragged it down from the ftp on my desktop but when I open it with nbtexplorer I just get a blank white screen. :confused:

Thanks once again guys, I've "liked" you all for your awesome help and tutoring. :) I've set up a separate line now just for breeding pures. I've got running: tropical, water, marbled, noble, valiant, marshy, meadows, rocky and commons. It's all automated with apiary pipes, centrifuge for the...

OK thanks guys. Enough with this wintry bee stuff for now then. I'll aim for some imperials first. I use the nessirogaming bee wiki a lot - it's a great help. I started out with the databank for them but it doesn't have enough space so I now use the indexer to store them all. I wish there...
