Does anyone have the formulas for calculating how many stills a fermenter can support depending on sappiness, and fuel (fertilizer/mulch, fruit juice/water)? I know that the old saplings with water and mulch could support 4.5 stills. But somehow, I could support as many as 32 stills using high...

Ooh, that is a nice tool. How does a full ardite hammer compare?

Why manyullium head? For the extra durability? Guess I have two more monster hammers to test ...

Hmm... Suddenly it became sort of hard deciding if I want to keep the scythe or if I should make a cleaver or not. Regarding cleavers - I'm guessing the ideal would be paper rods, many blade and thaum plate? This doesn't lower the base dmg and gives it an initial 6 modifiers. Also, I actually...

well damn ... I had no idea that was the case. Always did wonder what the point of those damage attributes were when the numbers were all the same. TIL. (And this makes me quite sad, as I basically threw my shinies away). Why are battleaxes worthless btw? As far as I can tell, you can attack a...

I try to avoid Dartcraft whenever I can, I think it's a ridiculous mod that should never have been included in the modpack - but that's neither here nor there. The silky upgrade actually kills the speed quite a bit - my hammer would be 20.33 with lapis instead. Full cobalt with thaumium rod...

well dang, I just made a hammer without any ardite on it. With silky, it capped out at 18.33 speed (wihout wither star upgrade, haven't killed the wither yet). So how much did I lose by doing that? The speed was kind of underwhelming when compared to other high end tools like the mining drill.

So Ardite is no longer worth it at all? Did they go too far when they nerfed it?

So I've just mined a bunch of cobalt and ardite in the nether, and figured it is time to upgrade my dinky stone hammer to something more useful. Problem is, the threads on this all seem to be quite old, and I'm pretty sure there was some major changes in how the mod handled certain things quite...

Is there a way to disable forestry butterflies? They're extremely annoying, generate lag and create mutated saplings in my treefarms that end up clogging my system. In addition to this, my orchards look like mutated beasts now, and I don't even know if the mutated blocks still drop their...

sorry about the slight necro, but I'm wondering, how does these special conditions translate to using alvearies? is it enough to keep a block of the required material underneath a corner of the alveary, or does it need to be under the center block? Or do I need to place a 3x3 square beneath the...

Yeah, teh various breeds aren't that hard now that you can just NEI the species you want. More practical stuff, however, like leaf count, is more of an issue. I kind of jumped the gun a little with my question though. Just spent half an hour on a testserver with various saplings and can conclude...

forgive me raising this thread from the dead, but I was wondering, which trees would be best for absorbing all the good traits in the end? Also, is it possible to combine apple with a resin-type tree?

Can someone help me find the numbers behind fermenters and stills? More specifically, how many buckets an hour a single still will produce?

Oh, that is interesting. I was relying on some old threads for my info, and I guess I was just outdated. So if my math is correct, 3 choc frames should be the absolute max you'd need to use regardless of lifespan, to get the maximum effect? (for shortest, 10*.75*.75*.75 = 4.2, longest...

Ok, now I'm confused. I inoculated a Fiendish-Frugal hybrid with the shortest lifespan trait and started breeding out the fiendish parts. What surprised me was, once the Frugal trait took over active, the time it took three chocolate frames to kill a bee greatly diminished. What is going on? I...

Hi, I've been trying to breed bees by using chocolate frames to lessen the time spent waiting, then swapping to soul frames just before the bee dies. Thing is, it doesn't seem like chocolate frames has any effect? According to my math, if I have a bee with the shortest lifespan trait, using 3...

Sorry about the double post, but I did some searching and have new questions :x The glittering bee produces two products. The golden comb at 2% rate and rocky combs at 20% rate. According to a spreadsheet I found, if given the fastest trait, this would mean that this bee would reach 100%...

Ehm, I think I'm too daft to understand this, can you explain it to me like I'm five, preferably with an example? Say, by using a Glittering bee which iirc has a 2% chance of producing a golden comb. If I use a single frame on this, that production chance is upped to 4%? And then 8% for the...

Instead of making an entirely new thread, I'm just gonna ask here: Is it safe to assume that no amount of frames will destroy bees in an apiary? Also, according to http://wiki.feed-the-beast.com/Comparison_of_Frame_types_and_Bee_Housing, swarmer bees will only start appearing after 1600%...
