    Twilight Forest

    This is why you want to go to the twilight forest: I found a large hollow hill pretty quick with the magic map, and now I have enough stuff for the maze ore map. Plus a couple of stacks of diamonds, 40 levels of experience and enough lapis to pave my whole base with the stuff! :D Once...

    Bee Automation

    Yeah It's probably changed since I learned how to do that setup, I noticed Forestry got more clever with knowing what items go where in machines at some point. With my new found knowledge I cleaned my system up a lot and hid most of the pipes in the wall with facades, It still does exactly the...

    Bee Automation

    I second that wow. I always thought drones had to go in the bottom and princesses in the top, but I can actually make my system much more compact than it is. Nice work Zjarek. I love this thread :)

    Hello fellow FTBians!

    Nice intro sir, welcome to the forums! I agree about feeling an obligation to contribute to the Minecraft community and help others, it's the only game where I'm involved with it regularly. It certainly transfers over here, this lot are lovely and very informative. :)

    Bee Automation

    That's a really nice idea, I've been meaning to do Computercraft and bees since Dire did it but I'm a bit too used to my old apiarist pipe method. I'm not amazing at coding but something like you've done isn't too hard, maybe I'll play with it later.

    Feed the City [Ultimate Pack][1.4.6][Whitelist][Survival][Filmed]

    IGN: Magicferret I'd like to apply for the position of Aesthetic Builder. Here is an imgur album of a few of my creations. I was the co-leader and one of the main archetects of a town named Rhodantha on the Nearby Nation server so I have some experience of working with and organising others on...

    Hey ya'll!

    Good clue, I'm glad you didn't give it away too easily. Should keep me busy this evening, cheers Flora! Edit: Aaaand I have Icy bees. Hooray! As Dire would say :)

    Hey ya'll!

    Well you learn something every day, I never knew that despite having got rural before. I guess I just always happened to live in a plains biome. :) While I'm here, can you (or anyone else) give me a clue on the wintry line please? I've bred them with a few more basic bees and had no luck so...

    The City of Industry

    Thanks! I need to dig some more screenshots from the old server up from my old PC but I'll drop you a message later or tomorrow.

    Bee Automation

    Thanks! With logistics pipes these systems get even crazier and faster on the item processing end, can't wait to have them back. You're exactly right about breeding species you haven't discovered, it is a challenge to get around. With apiarists pipes you can effectively build a condition like...

    Treecapitator

    Yeah they would make it better, if there was a specific expensive tool for 'treecapitating' with the longer break time and maybe limited durability. Just grabbing a stone axe and destroying half a forest is what's discouraging about it, especially since there's multiple tree farming options on...

    Treecapitator

    The ExtraBiomesXL trees just make an already OP mod too ridiculous I think. Slowpoke himself said he doesn't want it in the pack and I'm inclined to agree with him. Another reason for his not including it was the axe of the stream from Thaumcraft. It does exactly the same thing but at the cost...

    Bee Automation

    Here's some pics of my setup. All my breeding new species and getting the right traits is done manually, then when a species is finished and 'standardised' they go into the automatic setup. The autarchic gates on the sides of the apiaries have the 'missing queen or princess' condition so...

    Hey ya'll!

    Put down an apiary and it will tell you the temperature and humidity of your area in the side tabs. As long as your queen tolerates those you're good to go. Most ExtraBiomesXL biomes are what you'd expect them to be from my experience. Wintry bees work in all the snowy ones, all the forest and...

    Hey you! Er... I mean hello Kelmian, Welcome to the forums. :D

    Heidi-Ho folks

    I'm 24 and I've spent a lot of my time on servers playing with people who are 14 or 15 (most of whom are more mature than one would assume), age just really doesn't matter for the most part IMO. Nobody is too old for this! Anyway, welcome to the forums. :)

    Been here a while so thought I should introduce myself

    Welcome to the forums. I upgraded from an underpowered craptop to a proper gaming PC earlier this year. You sir are going to be pleased with how many automatic machines you can build without killing your framerate! XD

    Any tips for making a new Minecraft skin?

    My sage advice would be get someone who is good at art to do it, low resolution pixel art is really hard if you're going for proper shading and detail. If you'd rather do it yourself try a 3rd party program that does a real time rendering of what your character would look like as you work, it...
