Whilst I accept that snowy bees are a blight upon humanity, the worst of all are Marshy bees. I hate the little buggers.

Now, beeism aside, is it good to just keep breeding bees until you have a huge stockpile of random bees? I want bees that give off experience, but I'm really confused on how to do that so I was just going to get a bunch of random bees. I don't have a real direction to go in because I dunno what I am doing.
Using Rednet's PRC how can I do the following.
Input 1 toggles and the output is turned on steady.
Input 2 toggles and turns off the output.
The situation. 2 gates on a Redstone Energy Cell. The first gate is set to emit a signal when the cell is empty. The second is set to emit a signal when the cell is full. The PRC is there to only turn on my engines when the RECell is empty, and run until completely full. I did it once with RP2's gates, I think some variant of the SR-Latch. However I cannot, for the life of me, get the SR-Latch to work from the PRC in that situation.
Bonus question - Is there a text page describing the gates and their uses? Plenty of videos but none of them have, you know, an index to each of the gates, are 30m long and are rambling in the extreme. :/

You'll just ruin the few bees you have. Don't breed randomly, you won't even get to commons yet.
And I'm going to be honest here. You'll probably never get xp bees. They're some of the highest-tier ones available, and you obviously are new to them. I expect an update which requires a map reset will happen before you reach them.
If you want xp, there are about a thousand billion different ways to get them without this. If you really want to learn beekeeping, try googling a basic guide or watching GenerikB's "Beecademy" series. There are also a ton of wikis and stuff.
Waffle, you've been posting a lot here recently; I say this with all the love in the world, but it seems like you use here as a one-stop shop for free info rather than trying to look things up or reading wiki's. Both of those will teach you much faster about the game than we can. Of course, I might be completely wrong
How do I automate a Rolling Machine with Applied Energistics?
I'm trying to create an Ultimate Hybrid Solar Panel.
But I need a Rolling Machine.
Is there something like putting a chest beside a rolling machine and it'll craft the item using the stuff in the chest?

Similar to automatic crafting tables and fabricators the rolling machine will pull items from adjacent inventories for its crafting. However, also similar to the other options you must program its recipe manually beforehand. So you'll need a rolling machine for every rolling machine recipe you wish to automate.
Hi! I'm trying to set up a beginner power-station using magmatic engines and magma crucibles. I'm feeding the magma crucible with netherrack, and the lava that's being produced i send to a magmatic engine. The magma crucible is powering itself this way by running redstone conduits from the engine to the crucible. I read on the wiki (http://feed-the-beast.wikia.com/wiki/Magmatic_Engine) that a crucible needs 12 000 MJ to produce 1 bucket of lava from netherrack. The engine produce 18 000 MJ from 1 bucket of lava. This means I produce 33% excess lava that will just fill up in the engine over time. What I want to do is to feed the engine just enough lava (0,66 bucket) to power the crucible, and make the excess lava (0,33 bucket) go to a geothermal generator or a redstone energy cell. Problem is, i can't figure out how to control how much lava flows where. Is this possible? If i just try to use liquidducts and split it into 2 seperate paths before it enters the engine it looks like it just splits 50/50, and 50% of the lava is not enough to power the crucible. So my question is: how can i make the remaining 0,33 bucket of lava go to a geothermal generator? I thought maybe i could use a gate of some sort, but i couldnt find any configurations that was related to my problem.
Create a crafting pattern (for example four steel for the input and a steel plate on the output)
Stick it into your ME interface right next to the rolling machine
Pre-prepare the same recipe in the rolling machine
Hit craft, voila.
Don't forget to import the stuff back into the system.
It would be better for you if you created a thread for this, as it is not as simple of a question as this thread requires.
Multiblocks like the multifarm store all their data in one specific block; usually the bottom center one.
When you enlarge the multiblock, that means the block that is considered "bottom center" changes, and since in this new center block there is no existing data, the multiblock starts over. If you were to shrink the multiblock back down to its original size, you would discover that it is back to the old data again, including your circuit board.
Also, if you enlarge the multiblock in such a way that the bottom center block remains the same (for example, expanding a 3x3 into a 5x3 by adding one row to opposite sides each, as opposed to adding two rows to one side) then it should also retain its data. Should, because I've never tried that with Forestry specifically.
It is indeed the SR-Latch that you're looking for.
Pulsing input S will "set" Q to 1 (or anything other than zero- the PRC probably uses 15), and Q-bar to zero.
Pulsing input R will "reset" Q to zero and Q-bar to 1.
For example, say that the gate that produces a redstone signal when the cell is full is plugged into the white RedNet subnet, the other gate is on the orange subnet, and your engines are connected to magenta.
In your PRC, select SR-Latch (or whatever PowerCrystals calls the thing), connect S to I/O Orange (REC is Empty), R to White (REC is Full), and Q to Magenta.
Thus, when your REC empties, the orange gate will turn on, trigger S, turn on Q, and turn on the engines.
Edit:
I would probably drain the lava directly into your tank, and pump it from the tank into the engines. When the tanks inside your engines fill with lava, they will stop accepting more, so lava will start to build up in the tank.
There's no need to control how much lava goes to your engines, because they won't waste any.

I strongly disagree. If you want them, you can probably have them in a few days time with a bit of play time.
Do you consider looking at wiki's to see what bee breeds are necessary to reach your goal? If not you may want to look into the bee section of the wiki on this site. Look for the bees with the explorer effect as those are the XP bees. I believe the path starts with jungle bees.
Edit, AHA, found it: http://wiki.feed-the-beast.com/index.php?title=Edenic_Bee
You guys are very helpful. And honestly I want to explore more of this game. I wanna try bees, I wanna do thaumcraft. I wanna get infinite energy. Etc.
Anyway, few questions.
Whats the best way to use ore berry bushes? I have a ton and I know they grow in no light. But anything else I should do? Or some sorta creepy cave and just plant them? It needs to be on dirt? Or could I use stone? Was thinking of making a besalt cave under my home.
Second. Does mystcraft mess up games? This is a 1.5.2 question. I wanna try it, but I have a world already. This is my own 1.5.2 pack. But would adding mystcraft mess up my world? Doesnt it add world gen or whatever? I read something about fixing your config for it.
Third. Anyone else like exploring? Its horrible for farming. But I like finding random cave systems, finding abandoned mineshafts and manually mining. Or quarry or bust?

Does anyone know what the Plasma Extractor in the Fusion Control Computer stands for?
The Plasma Generator?
The Plasma Generator?
That's not a bad idea. But still, I would like to be able to regulate how much lava I drain from the tank so I can make sure the engines will never run out of fuel. Thanks for the answer.
The question is actually quite simple. I probably went more in depth than needed in my question, making it seem more complicated than it really is.
You'll probably want a Still (Forestry) or Distillation Tower (GregTech) to turn the biomass into biofuel/ethanol first -- this drastically improves both storage efficiency and burn rates.
Once you've done that, it depends on how large of a tank. Steam boilers are the most efficient /after a long warmup period/, but unless you have tens of millions of heat units, they won't hit that theoretical efficiency. If you don't want to burn 300+ buckets of biofuel at once, a set of combustion engines are the better option, as well as cheaper to build. ((Electric Engines are terribly inefficient, aiming instead for burst power.))
Likewise, storage is going to depend on how much energy. Each bucket of biofuel is worth about 200,000 MJ. For three buckets, you might as well just use a Redstone Energy Cell. You probably want more storage than that, however, which brings you into the EU-verse. Using cobblestone generators and magma crucibles into a thermal generator (or pump and geothermal generator) will get you about a 1 MJ -> 1.5 EU conversion ratio. That brings each bucket of biofuel to 300,000 EU. MFSUs can store 10,000,000 EU, or 33 buckets worth of biofuel, per unit.
MystCraft mostly add items in chests, and a type of villager to vanilla villages -- adding it to an existing world works fine, although it'll be slightly harder to find Symbols. The heavy-duty worldgen occurs in Ages. I've added the most recent release of Mystcraft to mine, without any serious technical problems. That said, there are things to be aware of from a gameplay perspective.
Firstly, read the wiki pages about the importance of Linking Books and having a safe linking book somewhere near origin in a world. If you do a /Sliders/, you very well can get into situations where only cheats can save you from death- after death after death. Not all worlds have paper or Star Fissures.
Secondly, allowing a server's users to make a lot of ages willy-nilly can go bad. Ages take disk space just like every other dimension, and instability can be pretty hard on servers, especially chunkloaded instability.
Yup optifine definitely used. Chunk loading and visible geometry settings? How do you prefer the settings? Please tell me

That's an interesting idea, I'll have a check around my base, but I doubt that's the problem.
For writing furnace recipes as an example, I get two iron dusts, stick one into the furnace, and then whatever it crafts I use as the pattern recipe, and thus because that's the type of iron I have on hand, it gets used for every other recipe.
Does anyone know how to get the butterflies in 152wgt? I have the item, but is there a way to place them after I have the item form?
I need clarification on the forced memory allocation of ftb launcher. I have 64bit java running (and the console shows that) and i have settings to ramp up my memory allocation to around 5 Gigs, but when im playing and press f3, the info in the upper right always says im using about 700MB. Im just trying to boost my framerates up a bit. any advice?
