Automated apiary problem...

[chinpoppo]

Hello, i having trouble with bloody bees... Right now i use very simple setup, with two chest, some apiary pipe, and have endless bees float in pipe, what cause some fps drops. I wanted automate it in better way - by using "somehting iron OR gate", this small things what you put on pipe + red-wire, so i did this choose "send pulse signal whehen no quee / drone" Everything was fine, it's send princess in apiary, but problem -
It's dosen't send signal when there is no drone, i ended up with five apiary withou drone, and only one with 50 drones. Is it posible some how "fix" this problem ?

thank you.
p.s. - yeahhh i'm scrub xD

What pack are you using? And do you "have" to use pipes/gates...or are you willing to use an AE system to do it?

Separate each apiary and its system (pipes), then use an iron pipe to route all of them to one pipe (if needed; otherwise drones will pile up in each one and will cause item drop lag if overflowing)
I couldn't really understand your post; could you please explain more clearly and spend time correcting your grammar (which can be done easily by right-clicking on the misspelled word and choosing one of the possible words you were trying to spell).
I shall save you the trouble from listening to a boring lecture as I understand we all make mistakes.

I'm not native english speaker, and i never learned english. Of Course i have quit bad english :3
My main problem - autarchic gate, dosen't send red-wire signal when apiary missing dorone. I use this -

I wanted upgrade this set up with iron OR gate, but since it's dosen't send red-wire signal for missing drone, i can't do this without having all drones in one apiary.

FYI - spell check dosen't work on this site, i don't know why.



p.S. - i was not able found any good FAQ on a how automate apiary.
And i use hatpack. I can add any mopre if i misisng one, what can help with my problem.

put wooden transport pipe on back of apiary. add autarchic gate to wooden pipe. right click, set to "items in inventory" and "energy pulse".

put apiarist pipe on top of apiary, set the "down" color (into apiary) to "any bees", set the "left" or "right" color (depending which direction your chest is) to "items". leave all other colors alone.

Then, between the wood pipe and apiarist pipe, put either a cobblestone transport pipe or a stone transport pipe. You can put as many apiaries as you like in a row, I use 20 or so when I do bees. You just need to alternate between the cobblestone and the stone pipes so they don't connect up. At the end of the row, just add one more wooden transport pipe to the last apiarist pipe and put the chest below that wood pipe. All your combs will end up here, and when your drones overflow in an apiary they will end up here as well.

now you can cycle bees forever in this line of apiaries I use this setup to convert random princesses into what I call my "super bee" which has all the best genetic traits on it, and I use these "super bees" for all my breeding (just inject a princess with one species, a drone with another species, and breed em together).

Automating bees can be tricky if your new to them but once you get the hang ofg it, it's a breeze. What I use to automate my bees is using an Autartic iron AND gate on my extraction pipe with "if no redstone signal "- " send pulse ". That way the comes/bees get pulled out the moment they are produced. Then I loop the bees over the apiary using an Apiarists pipe with bees set to go down (into the apiary) and any excess/comes to continue their journey to your storage or whatever you intend to do with them.

That is very good English for someone native! Much better than some English people I've seen.
+ That is a very good design! But maybe some gold pipes to speed it up?

Thank you for replays.
I will try play with bees in test world... right now i search direwolf bee farm video, maybe he did fwe...
