Honestly, the Big Reactors in this pack leave me a little underwhelmed. I made a relatively small one (12 fuel rods at 5 blocks apiece), but the Yellorium generation is painfully slow. Cyanite and Blutonium are even worse. Maybe if I set up an Ender Quarry in the Deep Dark, I might have a chance of keeping one reliably fueled. As it is, I'm still running everything off of solar.
Alvearies with 16 frame housings.. only way to make those tolerable :) the MFR Laser should still be able to fuel itself with leftovers, but might need few a yellow lens. Most of my base runs on solar, but I have the reactor hooked in as a backup. It idles at 650 rf/t and consumes only 0.009 mb/t so it's not bad.

If I remember correctly it takes ruffly five maxed out bee's in Automated Apiary's to run what your currently at. (Ruff numbers)
 
I wish I knew more about the alvearys, a couple years ago, I GenerikB do a bunch of cool stuff with them. In one of @jtmnf 's comments in the book, it seemd to say they were better than the industrial apiarys.. but apparently I built mine wrong cause it was worse than a bee house.

The industrial apiaries are smaller and can be made into a nice compact arrangement, and are a lot less finicky then alvaries, for the cost of power. Given a choice I'd always choose the industrial apiaries and just build more of them as needed, which is what I did in my series. :)

If you can automate the insertion of Magic Frames into alvearies you'll find two of those should produce massive amounts of whatever resources your producing.

In the space of one alveary I could fit 36 Industrial apiaries, and with the automation and production upgrades have no need to automate anything, just pipe out the goods. :)

You can put down 36 aparies in 3x3x4 square + power cabling? Huh. You also need to remember you can do fake princesses and alveary breeding. Your apiary doesn't do this.
 
Gendustry is being powered off of 4 level III's. Forestry machines are powered off of 2 level III's. Thermal Expansion machines and a couple of 1-prod apiaries are being powered off of 2 level IV's. ME system is off of 2 level III's (probably overkill).
 
I see a new update on Curse as of ~4 hours ago. No changelog, but this version is labeled as "Release" whereas all previous versions were "Beta".

Is this a big update?
