    Building village in ravine

    Hiyall! I just have a quick inquiry regarding village spawning behavior. I'm currently remodeling a village and see this nice open ravine cutting through it. I really want to cut into the sides of the ravine by 2-3 blocks and put houses facing outward toward the ravine. The ravine itself is...

    Slight issue with AE Assembler

    Plenty of power. Also at first it was from scratch and also I tried from not from scratch and still no luck. I was wondering if I made multiple assembling cubes if it'd be able to do more than one job at a time...

    Slight issue with AE Assembler

    I'm having difficulty finding any paperwork or posts that'll help me fix my current issue. I have a 5x5x5 assembly chamber with 12 crafting CPU's and 15 pattern holders. The problem lies in trying to give my AE network more than one crafting command at a time. The first job I gave it is an...

    Bee Serums on Princesses, Drones or Queens?

    The way this is put is very misleading. It is true though, I must be really tired. Highly recommend making excellent quality serum before injecting to avoid risk of hive bees showing up in the lineage.

    Hellish Alveary

    I've had very poor luck with hellish/modest bees in an acclimatiser temp wise....10+ stacks of ice and no change. I highly recommend inoculation, much faster.

    Hellish Alveary

    Try going in a jungle and then inoculating your embittered bees with down 2/3 temp tolerance. :) Also heads up, for the breedings, I've had a lot more luck mutating in the nether than the overworld....at least for those lines.

    Need advice on aesthetics

    Well in general I'd like to use more than the engineering blocks I am currently using. A better variety of blocks makes for less blandness. I was thinking about doing quadrants of colors. Like have red quadrant, green, blue...etc, but that wouldn't solve the issue entirely for me. I'm tried to...

    Need advice on aesthetics

    Well I'm going to try some different things. I've been googling xycraft building designs as well as futuristic buildings in minecraft for a little while now trying to get inspiration. If I really just wanted functionality I would just copy paste my current design and then just have the alvearies...

    Need advice on aesthetics

    I'm trying to avoid RP2 stuff (just as a precauition in case it gets removed permanently from the mod pack). I generally like those kind of buildings as well Jess, but this time I really wanted to make a structure based off those engineering blocks...

    Need advice on aesthetics

    I'm currently trying to make a futuristic grid-like base for my alvearies but am having issues with using xychorium and making it look nice. I really don't like my current designs and am trying to switch it up with the blocks but am unsure what blocks go well with xychorium. Help! >< The floor...

    MFFS Classic vs MFFS V.3

    A little bit of googling and research (~5-10 minutes of reading other threads) and I knew all about all the different versions of MFFS and their pros and cons. Doesn't take much to not get lost :)

    MFFS Classic vs MFFS V.3

    I personally hope that we take a hard look at MFFS as it is. The current system is a bit stale. Forcicium is practically worthless in Ultimate because of Compact cells. You just need the initial batch of the stuff and then you can use EU to generate as much as you want. I haven't been able to...

    MFFS Classic vs MFFS V.3

    I did a lil digging. It looks like the new MFFS has gotten a complete rewrite from the ground up as well as reimagining. As such it looks very cool. http://universalelectricity.com/mffs/downloads (This has a short and....incomplete list of the changes...) I think I want to test it out a bit...

    Items known to cause lag & ways to optimize builds for small servers?

    Relay will nerf your FPS just by existing. Tested this in single player, placing one reduces my FPS from 120 to 80.

    Frugal Bee

    There is a higher chance of mutation with sinister. Keep trying in the nether. I was a bit frustrated myself. I think it's low even in with the nether star in hardcore...

    Breeding Austere bees?

    Recommend getting an alveary running and putting a single mutation block in it and then putting nether stars in the mutation block. It has advanced my bee breeding speed significantly. And the nether star mutations will force pure mutations to occur which is nice when I have very fertile bee's...

    Frugal Bee

    Personally didn't have any luck with frugal until I took them to the nether. Not even in the desert (I was using 4 uranium in an alveary in a desert biome and still no luck). The first time I took them to the nether biome (using an apiary with soul frames) and it mutated to frugal. You'll have a...

    Ender Bee Revival

    Experiments yielded results supporting my theory. However if this changed in the latest patch, then good to know. :)

    Ender Bee Revival

    Genepool for DNA which you will need (only throw unwanted bees in here, I don't ever recommend throwing princesses in and make sure they are identified). Then throw your ender bee into an isolator (the isolator will make serums from random traits of the bee it is currently working on). Fair...

    MindCrack Exchange Equivalent Compatability?

    Fine, technically it was well implemented. As mods go in terms of design and balance it was poorly planned and thought out. A couple of diamonds into the mod and you now have a renewable and exponential source for materials. It was imbalanced with itself simply because you could infinitely...
