    Pure Bees question

    Take a look at the effect your Pure Bees have. If they are true Pure bees they should have the purify effect. In breeding them it is sometimes possible that the purify effect doesn't carry over in the first mutation and they could be moving the node rather than cleaning it like Obelisk said.

    Beekeeping - Automating Frames

    If you want to automate frames in any sort of way you will need to build alvearies and use frame housings as part of the build. The added benefit of this route is you can also use mutators to speed up the process as well.

    Trouble With Bees

    If I recall the mutation rate on these is pretty low. It took me several tries to get Resolute and I only used Soul Frames. Random number generator is random so have to keep at it.

    This is fixed in the newest Forestry Beta so I'd make a plan B

    TC3: Grinding Wisps

    I have a much easier solution than all of these. If you play with ExtraBiomes find some quicksand and cover the node with it. Put a wood golem with a chest underneath it. The wisps will spawn in the quicksand and die and their drops will fall out of the quicksand for the golem to pick up. No XP...

    repair enchantment on books

    Edenic bees are great for the Explorer effect that gives XP. I've actually moved that trait over to some Arcane bees that pollinate with books. I use those in my enchanting room since they make paper and knowledge fragments for research.

    repair enchantment on books

    enchanting a thaumcraft tool gives a much better chance to get the repair enchantment from my experiences. You can still do it with books but you might take over 100 tries.

    How'd you like to see mods change for 1.6?

    I'm 100% onboard with haybale stairs for Thatched roofs. If mojang doesn't do it I'm sure a modder will be so kind as to add it.

    How'd you like to see mods change for 1.6?

    A robotic horse would be good if you added flying and THAT consumed EU, and the horse could store and recharge EU based items like a mobile power station. I could see folks getting behind that idea.

    How'd you like to see mods change for 1.6?

    So did everyone miss the fact that the new launcher is going to allow them to use later versions of Java, update certain dlls that are used for sound and other rendering to fix some really nastly long standing bugs, and update certain components easier? That sounds like under the hood work as...

    Eloraam has not disappeared. (random half related topics)

    We need a modder to add Rage Shards and Player's tears ASAP. Let the tears fill hunger and sustain us.

    Eloraam has not disappeared. (random half related topics)

    I know when I'm super busy with work sometimes the last thing I want to do is sit in front of a computer and put any effort into it. At any rate we got our answer and she even tweeted that the first compile was encouraging but there is still work to be done. Like most mods she will have to...

    need air shards

    I think you might find more Air shards in Plains biomes. Fire in desert, Earth in Extreme Hills, and Water in Swamps and Ocean biomes. You find all shards everywhere, but some shards are more abundant. ExtraBiomes is a whole other matter and their biomes are different. I live in a Meadows biome...

    Eloraam has not disappeared. (random half related topics)

    Yeah I follow Shadow too on YouTube. I rather liked his style in the videos. I know he had some bigger plans to tap into using soul essence for making weapons and fixing some of the current exploits with Soul Shards. I hope he gets the chance to finish that I liked the direction the mod was going.

    thaumcraft help flux issue

    Try quicksand, they suffocate in that and the drops will fall out the bottom eventually. Have golem pick them up and put them in a chest.

    Mindcrack/UHC

    Nebris when he records on his own sounds much more subdued. I totally get where you are coming from. I think is mic also has something to do with that audio quality. That said I notice when he is recording with others it draws out a different more active sound to him and I tend to enjoy that...

    I've found I enjoy Nebris much more when he collaborates with others.

    How to get the best bee to fuel your boilers.

    I'd use a pair of bees at first since it is easy to make and you can build a surplus of oil. Using a frame system can be a bit fiddly and if you don't want to be bothered with it then more bees in alvearies is the way to go. Again also depends on your consumption of fuel. I currently run two...

    Forestry Bee Help

    Well said MilConDion, this is similar to how I would have responded. I know sometimes when I used Soul Frames to hope for a mutation I can sometimes get really easy with certain strains and end up with a faster jump up than what I was looking for. So unsure how you got nobles so fast without a...

    Redpower 2 future in FTB?

    Well that and the amusement of the concept of what an active liquid redstone, and molten ender could do if they were liquids that could be poured out of a bucket.
