After watching DireWolf20 describe cooling a Nuclear Reactor with Lapis Bees, I've become interested in bee-based builds of any kind, fun and/or functional, and figured I'd start a topic for bee-based ideas.
To get the ball rolling:
To get the ball rolling:
- cooling a Nuclear Reactor by using Lapis Bees to recharge LZH-Condensators
- magic flower farm, using thaumic bees to generate cinderpearl and shimmerleaf (good on servers when they get hard to find)
- a fuel-based power grid supplied by oily propolis
- a Bee-B-Q, combining animal spawners with Demonic Bees (it'll bring out your inner sadist every time)
- a floor made of apiaries concealed beneath microblock covers, each one cycling a different vibrantly-colored bee species innoculated with "Explorer" (XP and pretty particle effects! Just learned the bee's outline is the color of the particle effect, which is helpful)
- Emerald Village: a ring of uberalvearies (alvearies packed with automated Frame Housings) producing Emeralds, surrounding a cultivated village built out of Greenheart
- maximizing valuable material production with uberalvearies (gets me excited about Gregtech )
- a mob-drop farm with heroic, demonic, etc
