    Bee breeding question

    whizzball1 you are partially right. When a hybrid mutates you might get a Cultivated rather than a Common/Forest for instance. During that mutation there is a chance that each trait might either be of the hybrid, or the mutant which in this case is the Cultivated. If you are unlucky you might...

    Bee breeding question

    When a mutation happens and you get a new breed, such as Cultivated in this case there is a chance that some of the traits are from either parent and not fully of the new species. I had this same problem when I tried to make Heroic bees, I got the breed but the Heroic effect was not present...

    Tropical bees not working

    Sounds like the Soul Frame worked a little too well there. Here is how you can work with this. Get a few more princesses and breed in pairs. If you want Common and Cultivated in their own strains you will want to breed two different hive bees together again to get more Commons. Cultivated are...

    SENSE AND SUSTAINABILITY; GROWLE’S FTB GUIDE TO RENEWABLE ENERGY

    Yeah I agreed with the change and one bee should not have produced as much as it did. From the start I had intended to run as many bees as needed. Now I have a nice Alveary setup for them.

    I need a small bit of erm HELP Thaumcraft Nodes D:

    If you have two pure nodes and they are both registering as dangerous you are best to just let them rest and they will clean out the flux naturally. You will want to keep the chunks they are in loaded to ensure they have time to clean out. Also if you see wisps kill them as that will also clean...

    SENSE AND SUSTAINABILITY; GROWLE’S FTB GUIDE TO RENEWABLE ENERGY

    Bees are another option to get certain items for fuel in some of the above instances. I use them for oil and lava to avoid draining the nether and create flowing liquid lag.

    Bee keeping not working

    Yes you make a good point. Getting beehives at night can be easier. And as someone said earlier Forest bees and Tropical bee hives are hanging under trees rather than on the ground. I know I try to make a point to grab at least two Tropical Princesses early so I can get their Stringy comb. You...

    Mystcraft Instability - Why?

    I know there was a bug in the recent Mystcraft version that made Clear Modifiers almost mandatory. Based on the pages you list that should be a stable age. The order also looks to be right. Try removing the features such as villages and crystals and see if you get a stable age, then add them...

    How long does it take a silverwood tree to get rid of flux?

    From my own worlds I have a Dark Node next to a Pure Node. I perform most of my work on the Pure side but both seem to generate flux. The Pure Node seems to shake off it's flux over an hour or two and the more flux the longer it takes. I don't think it is a set time but a percentage chance that...

    Bee keeping not working

    Here is some advice for getting setup with Bee breeding. Much of this has already been said above. 1. Grab a variety of bees from the world. Most common you will find are Meadows in redish hives and Marbled in white hives they both use flowers and operate in most biomes. Marshy bees are in...

    Will there be more redpower-generators?

    The redstone changes shouldn't affect the mod that much it's the rendering changes that are making it more work to update the mods at this point. I know a few of the developers are bashing out the errors now. With Microblocks each having different textures there are a ton of items that Redpower...

    bee question

    There are a couple of things that are being used here to make that farm. 1. Edenic bees have an Explorer Effect that gives XP when you are in their teritory which is 9x9 by default 2. Bee effects stack when in a territory so he made a 9x9 of apiaries filled with Edenic bees 3. When a bee has...

    how do i get the repair enchantment on a book?

    I've found it's easier to enchant Thaumcraft specific items until you get a Repair enchantment and then add the other enchantments you want from books and the anvil. Repair seems limited to Thaumcraft items and books.

    [ExtraBees] Problems getting certain mutations

    The Alveary Frame Housing bug is fixed in Extra Bees 1.5.6 which I don't think is in the newest packs yet I had to manually update, but once I did they work normally now.

    Massive nether wisp spawning

    Actually yes it can. As soon as a wisp enters the nether portal it is sent to the Nether and if the chunk is unloaded the entity is saved there and unloaded. The node then noticing it doesn't have a wisp will spawn another wisp. Once it wanders in it is sent to the Nether. Rinse and repeat...

    What kind of farms for massproducing?

    Yeah the straw golems will eventually fill the bare spots with seeds so no need to worry about it. I make a smart golem and a fast wood golem to make sure he keeps up. I think you can make wood goems smart and specify either a specific item or chest to put the drops. I can't remember of the top...

    Massive nether wisp spawning

    Do you have a nether portal near there? Wisps could spawn from the Overworld hit the Nether portal and then get stuck in the Nether. Over time the build up to the level that you see. I had a similar thing happen with bats since my portal was underground and counted as a cave so had bats spawn there.

    Powering Extra Bees Machines?

    When I heard it, it was said by him on an FTB Stream so I don't have a way to quote that unfortunately. I hope I didn't hear it wrong I'd hate to misrepresent facts. I would imagine there is a way to test this with energy cells but I recall the mechanics are pretty similar to conduits. Also I...

    Powering Extra Bees Machines?

    Note for Tesseracts KingLemming stated a while back that the max Output is 100 MJ/t the 25% loss is calculated on top so it will output 100MJ but draw 125MJ from your Steam Engines. Some of the Extra Bees machines can take up to 75MJ so you might need to parcel it out better with a Redstone...

    The Final Word on Steam Boiler Efficiency

    Combustion engines are really great to use you just need to understand how the Aqueous Accumulator can output it's water, once you master that hooking up Combustion engines are easy. The AA needs water source blocks on two sides to create water the fastest. The front of the machine counts as a...
