Beekeeping Guide. Yay or nay?

[slay_mithos]

Well, seeing as creepers do...

But a scoop costs practically nothing to make anyway, so might as well use them when chasing the bees, right?

Funny enough, the exact day this post started, I started writing a guide on my server's forums. I don't know if you guys need anymore help, but if anyone wants to check it out, the link is in my signature (and I figure you can never have too many Bee Guides). Most of it is walkthrough/teaching with as few spoilers as possible, with a link to an Excel database that I'm working on if you want a spoiler list. I try to always specify things that come from Forestry, and things that come from Extra Bees. It's a WIP and I would love feedback!

 

[Exedra]

Thanks, but weare pretty much done. Sort of. Your guide looks great BTW.

 

[SunnyDaze]

Thanks. Can't wait to see what you guys are working on.

Anyone know a good wiki site other than wikispaces? Because wikispaces has decided that it doesnt like me and doesnt want to work properly.

 

[Zmaster27]

sadly no, perhaps we should see if we can get it added to FTB wikia?

 

[Exedra]

I made one on wikia. Morv did say she would try to get jaded to add it into the FTB wiki, but I'm not sure as to how I edit it if it does get added into it.

 

[Zmaster27]

i'm having comp troubles atm man sorry >< i'll try to get the extra bees asap

 

[NightKev]

I've got some web hosting that I'm not really doing anything with right now, if you'd like.

What's the problem with wikispaces, btw; some sort of dumb page size limit?

 

[Exedra]

Omg NightKiev, thank you. Wikispaces has decided if the wiki is to be public for more than 5 people, I have to pay up. "Wikispaces, providing free wikis." Yeah, for about 5 people.

If needed i can help out aswell by installing some wikisoftware on my webserver (dedicated machine)

Dunno if this was posted here yet.. but: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AgYOUdPlRXN-dHpUbUlQaVVEdW8yN2RWbnZWbENBMlE#gid=0

WARNING: Massive spoilers... it lists every combinations.

That database is a nice base to build upon.

On the topic of bees: Where in the nether spawn the nether hives from extra bees? I've flown around for a while and couldn't find one.
Somewhere in the netherrack walls (I hope adjacent to an air block)? In the nether fortresses? Near nether wart?

Use a texture pack like sphax to find them the default texture blends too well with the netherrack.
From my looking they are very rare but all of the hives I've found have been in the netherrack walls overlooking the lava lakes.

The product columns are pretty measly.

 

[Zmaster27]

i can easily fix that will do so tonight, get some better ratios and all that

 

[kev12east]

when will this be up? any ideas?

It is, but I didn't do the database. And I don't have access to edit it either so I can't complete it :/ but the Resultant Mutation tab is really the part I was pointing at.

 

[MilConDoin]

That table just needs to clarify, which type of "preserverd" bee is used in the mutations. One of them can mutate once, the other never.
