Tartarus.. I mean at work. Same thing really.
Is there a way to fully automate beef+leather production?
Yes- feeding station in a breeding pit/pen (connect to forestry wheat farm)

You want a deeper pit next to it, so cows fall in- with water at the bottom to take them to your killing mechanism. (Vanilla drowning trap will do)

And you want a way to keep at least 2 cows on the breeding floor- so you get a continuous supply. (pressure plates or tripwires + pistons/trapdoor to the killing pit)

Minecraft? No, normal PC version. I think the flower is from extra biomes but IC2 can give you seed bags for it.

IC2 adds a flower crop for almost every dye in the game as well as many other resources and yes its concept of genetics is even more insane then forestry's bees. You have about a 10% or less chance to get just about any crop from any cross breed.

I haven't seen that episode. Do you know what number it is?
Just off the top of my head, I want to say somewhere in the 40's. It's been a few videos since then, considering we're in the 70's on episodes now. (Disco!)

There might be something in the video description about visiting Eloraam. That is the best I can do without looking directly myself, so good luck. :eek:

The IC2 crop crossbreeding mechanic is pure nonsense if you base your sense in reality, but good as a game mechanic :)

I am a big fan of the breeder + embarking/disembarking rail + portal turret method of animal farming, works great on soul shard mobs too :)

You now need to elaborate or link to something that shows it. :D

Inquiring minds want another spawner idea! :p

At a guess, it's the one where mobs are fed into a Portal. The other side of the portal is >25 blocks high. Mob goes through portal, goes splat. Once RP2 shows up, this can be done on a transposer/relay. For now, it can be done on a platform with an obsidian pipe.

lol, i meant the turrets from the portalgun mod ("are you still there?")
Ah yes, those fun toys. :D

I have numerous security access ideas for those that think walking blithely into my base is a good idea. Add in a "cage" of MFFS, etc and let turrets ravage their armor. :eek:

One of the amusing things to do is an 'electric fence'. You know how cables tend to shock the heck out of you based on the amount of Eu running through it? Run some HV cable with 512/t running through it. Deals more damage for less energy than a tesla coil!

I set up my kill/collection box using turrets as mentioned by someone else and a mystcraft portal dumps everything in the thing. OMG the most morbid, sick thing I've ever devised.... its like.. Beef popcorn.
