But I don't always get back the same species of princess that I used, which is the main problem. Basically, one failed mutation has me starting all over again to get another noble princess.

I recently got into bee breeding in the Mindcrack pack and I have a question regarding mutations. My first goal is to work my way up to some imperial bees. My problem is that every time I try to breed a new species, theres a chance that I won't get back the original species of the princess that...

I guess that could work. Was I correct when I said that a forest has normal temp and normal humidity? That's what I need most right now.

I recently got into bee breeding in the Mindcrack pack, and I built myself a nice building from which to do my breeding. Being unfamiliar with bees prior to building the base, I built it in a green hills biome. Now I realize this may have been a mistake because it has normal temperature but damp...

I just put my spawners (in this world, creeper and enderman) high up in the sky (25+ blocks up for creepers and 45+ for enderman) and just simply let them spawn and drop straight down. The platform at ground level is just a simple square (9x9 IIRC) with transposers equally spaced to pick up any...

2 questions: Assuming you are using those golems in the picture to automatically put the essentia into the jars, are the marker blocks just built into the wall on that 4-high wall of jars? Can the golems reach these jars that are not at their level, or do you need stairs of some kind for them to...

I recently started getting into some Thaumcraft and built myself a nice room in which to do my magic. You could probably say I'm in the middle tier as far as research goes, as I have just discovered basic flux research, tallow golems, etc. Like I saw in a video, I decided to have a tallow golem...

This might be a pretty well known and easily solveable issue, but I haven't used much of these microblocks yet so I'm quite unfamiliar with them. No matter what I try to do, the covers end up being 10x darker than it's full block counterpart. I was hoping that the full blocks and covers could...

Yeah I read about using a structure pipe for the gate while using the energy conduits to carry the energy from the engines, and I may end up switching to that. Seems a lot simpler.

I just read through that and it seems to make perfect sense. I understand that the engines cycling on and off would create a buildup of energy, but in my case, my energy cell was currently at only 100k stored. At this storage level, the engines were not cycling on and off, they were constantly...

First of all, I'm going to try to describe my setup well enough so that a picture is not necessary, though I will post one if it is needed after all. For my MJ "factory" I have a railcraft tank filled with biomass that is connected to 5 biogas engines. These engines are connected by golden...

Oh, great!. I never let it fill to 64 lava, so I figured it must've been in the wrong slot. Thanks!

Is it no longer possible to pump liquid lava into an industrial centrifuge? One of the recipes involves centrifuging 64 still lava, but pumping lava into the centrifuge always makes it go into the "lava slot" instead of the middle spot. Is there a way around this? Or will I have to keep the lava...

What's the approximate warmup time for a gate? My iron autarchic has been running for quite a while and is still chugging along like a minimum speed redstone engine.

I did discover the "resources < 25%" option, but I was unaware that the energy pulse functions like a redstone engine. It was running so painfully slow in the beginning I was beginning to get frustrated, but I guess I'll just let it go run for a while.

I've now run into another problem though. It seems as though "if space in inventory" becomes false when there are only 3 pieces of sugar cane in the fermenter. The chest above has at least 5 stacks, but as soon as there are 3 in the fermenter, it turns the pipe wire signal off and it stops...

Ahhh that clears that up nicely. Thanks.

Basically, I'm trying to set up a chest -> fermenter setup with gates and buildcraft pipes. I'm trying to use the gates so that the only time an item should be pumped out of the chest is if there is space in the inventory of the fermenter. I'm quite new to gates so what I came up with doesn't...

It's a solo world. The problem I was having before was solved by altering the railcraft config to make the world anchor not require fuel. Now the world anchor works perfectly and my wheat grows whether I'm there or not.

Fortunately, that seems to be wrong. I AFKed for 20 minutes or so in my base (with a world anchor at my wheat farm which is quite a distance away), and i returned to find 10 more pieces of bread in the chest by my wheat farm. So it seems to have continued working even while I was not nearby.
