    How to generate 512 EU/t

    Are your boilers all the way heated up yet? They start off needing 8x the normal amount of fuel when cold and slowly get more efficient as they get to max temp. I've only ever messed with them in creative, never have gotten one all the way to max temp to see how efficient they end up being. I...

    How to generate 512 EU/t

    Yeah I have a container full of unprocessed propolis. Thing is, adding another refinery wouldn't help me any, I don't even use all the fuel the one makes, and my setup doesn't have a need for more power yet. To be honest, the system could probably run off just one hive most the time since I...

    How to generate 512 EU/t

    I use bee power. By that I mean I have two Distilled queens that are in Alvearies that I have automated (no special blocks in the hives). They create Oily Combs at a very good rate, which I run through the centrifuge to get Oily Propolis, which I then run though a squeezer to get Oil. The Oil...

    Bee production facility

    So! Apparently I never did test the Missing Drone setting while a princess was in the hive, must have always been an empty hive or a queen because I never have gotten it to work until you pointed out it has to have a princess. I guess I thought Missing Drone meant 'hive doesn't have any drones...

    Bee production facility

    Yeah I'm sure I have it setup properly, because the same setup works for the princess, but not the drones. I can take a wooden pipe with an Autarchic Gate connected to a wooden chest, set the gate to 'Missing Princess - Energy Pulse' and put a princess in the box, it will take it, but if I set...

    Bee production facility

    I ended up going the BC pipe direction with the Alvearies. It's just hard to beat the apiarist's pipe. My current setup isn't 100% leak proof though. I have the wooden pipe with the gate pulling everything out of the hive, and then the apiarist's pipe sends all bees back into the Alveary and...

    Magmatic Engines broken?

    Does not appear to work, though I bet it's the deployer not doing something right with the cells. I tried putting a tank next to the deployer and it still didn't do anything with the cells. Looks like I can use a liquid transposer to get the lava out of the cells and into some liquiduct...

    Magmatic Engines broken?

    I think you misunderstand what I was saying. I don't care that the inventory part of the engine was removed, I care that I can no longer automatically deliver a lava cell to it to fill it's tank and that it just jams the system instead. I wasn't keeping an inventory of cells loaded in the...

    Magmatic Engines broken?

    This new 'feature' has jacked up my engine system. I was delivering lava capsules produced by my bees using redpower 2 retrievers to the engines, and that no longer works, now it just gets jammed. Gotta rip it all out and put in liquid pipe now. Note for mod makers, add features, don't...
