I'm still working on getting max territory. :(

Yeah, I got it yesterday (twice actually, I think), while trying to get a max territory serum.

I'm doing some testing in my 1.4.7 setup, and it's definitely possible to do this in 1.4.7, so it should be easier in the newer versions. Swarmers appear to stack, I set up one automated alveary with 3 swarmers full of jelly and as of ~12 hours later I already have ~30 princesses. I don't know...

I was just coming to post pretty much the same thing. In my experience you usually get the species serum within the first 5 bees, so this probably will work.

The only bee that I know of that is biome restricted for specialty items is the Austere, which requires a desert. Every other bee produces fine in any climate, provided it's not a hostile environment for the bee. (which you can easily get around with the extra bee machines).

It's actually my base, but the upper levels house my bee equipment. :) Here's an updated pic:

I did my bee pixel art with lights: :)

I think I need to go download BoP and check it out, it looks a lot better than EBXL. :o

Sometimes you just get unlucky with breeding, keep breeding them and you'll get it eventually. Make yourself some soul frames, that helps a lot. :)

The ones outlining the room are zinc blocks, the ones around the boiler are aluminum. I have a bunch of bees producing zinc for me because I thought it looked so cool. :)

Decided to post an update, and I just realized how slowly I work.. haha.

Never, EVER, leave a mining laser in your hotbar when not using it, especially when you're going to click on your indexer that has a ton of bees in it. The fps lag was epic that night. :p

926666011, my island is at -61, +1379. ;)

Mindcrack with gregtech on easymode.. I like some of the stuff he adds, but hardmode is too grindy for my taste. :p

Oooh, thaumic bees is added to mindcrack, I didn't even see that. Great. :D

Check this thread: http://forum.feed-the-beast.com/threads/steam-power-tips-and-faq.10855/ Looks like it's 160 steam/t per side. Liquiducts appear to only be limited by the amount you can push into them.

It took me forever to get my corroded/rusty/tarnished bees, I swear the chance for leaden is a lot higher than the other 3. It looks like you're close to having the materials for an alveary, I would go for the alveary with mutator blocks like noskk suggested, it'll save you a lot of time and...

Looks like Mindcrack 8.2 and Direwolf 5.2 will have ExtraBees 1.5.0.6, hopefully that'll fix the issue. ...And generally an alveary with 2 mutators with uranium will guarantee your mutation, there are some that you need 3 to ensure mutation though. My mutation alveary has 3 mutators and 3 frame...

Dunno about the other 2, but galvanized is Tarnished + Cultivated, not Resilient + Cultivated. I bred a bunch in the past week, so it's definitely possible. Also make sure your mutators are being loaded correctly, there's a weird bug where they get messed up if you change dimensions or something.

Pretty sure Gregtech is on hardmode by default, at least according to what I read. Open up the Gregtech/recipes.cfg file and check the section named usefulrecipes, most of them should be set to true if it's on hardmode.
