Yeah, it wasn't so much the fighting, it was the lag/single-digit FPS that was causing me grief. I needed to do the killall to get rid of all the spawned entities and it was still choppy as hell; it was literally, a slide show. On my machine, using this modpack, the Nether is unplayable.

Well, /cofh killall worked. Some ghasts wound up wandering into the area, but they didn't bother too much. It took a ton of block breaking, but I finally managed to get some hellfish. Between flight potion and my jetpack, I was able to eventually get 10. I had to warp out and back in again to...

Hmm... that may be a plan, then.

But wouldn't that also kill the hellfish?

Oh, I know that, I just happened to kill them on earlier trips and the quest book recorded them for the monster hunter quest.

Fffffffuuuuuuuuuuuu... :mad: It would've been handy to update that section or at least provide a way of completing that portion without having to go to the nether. It seems a little sloppy making it possible to get everything else nether-related through an alternate method, but not hellfish. I...

The quest book says that the map can be completed without travelling to the Nether, but in For the Hoarding, the Monster Hunter quest requires you to kill 10 Hellfish. My thought was that if you put a silverfish in witch water you could turn it into a hell fish; like with villagers to...

What is the deal with going "translucent" in the Nether? I've noticed a few times when making forays in there for various things that I can see through the item I'm carrying or through my hand if I'm not carrying anything.

I actually managed to produce 4 rocky hives from scented artificials and a bunch of stone. :D One the first try and 3 the second.

Blerg. What I read said that cobblestone counted. Well, no biggie... I've got enough smooth stone I can use. I'll see if I can do it the mundane way first before resorting to blood magic.

Why can't I attract any rocky bees? I've placed all 6 of these AT LEAST 4 times and none of them have spawned. (yes, I dipped them in seed oil first) It's a forest biome and everything I've seen says that they should spawn in any biome. Temp and Humidity are both normal in a forest, so they...

So, having never used bees before, I did some research and came across a link to GenerikB's BEEcademy series which is so far, proving pretty handy. The 4th episode in, he talks about automating the apiaries, but he uses Buildcraft pipes, which are not included in Agrarian Skies. What's the...

Yeah, a couple here and there shouldn't hurt too much. I've used some of them in places and don't think it's caused a noticeable difference, but since I found out they can be an issue, I've tried to limit how much I use them just as a habit. I'd like to use the microblocks more, because they're...

Supposedly though, they (microblocks) can contribute to lag. Not sure what kind of machine he's on, but I running this on an ok laptop and I try run a minimal setup so the game is still playable. I can't get above low 20s for FPS, so A LOT of this pack is super-grindy because I can't really...

Blazing pyrotheum will heat crucibles the fastest. I don't think nitor will, however. The pyrotheum will however, set adjacent blocks on fire; I had mine under the crucibles, then stone surrounding the crucibles so that the top of the crucibles were flush with the floor. I had two rows of...

Blerg. This could all be a moot point with an MFR Fertilizer, though right? Just load it up and it instantly matures them?

Ahh, ok. It really doesn't matter, then. Thank you.

There was, somewhere in this thread, a cheat sheet of sorts with what biomes would attract which bees to scented hives, but my search fu is weak and I can't find it. Rather than slogging through 203 pages, anyone know what bees (if any) I might be able to attract in a Magical Forest and what...

Yeah, that makes sense. Thanks!

Ok, but let's say none of them have the ritual underneath (or hell, all of them, if you insist on throwing that into the mix). Which has the shortest growth cycle? To be specific: for a baseline, unmodified, all farming conditions being equal, which juice-able crop has the shortest growth...
