Extra Bees Genetic Engineering Guide

[Chocorate]

And anyway, this isn't actually a wiki page. So it can have all kinds of story.

Yaaaaaaay! All done with the guide. Pretty much covered everything, I think. If there is anything I am missing, tell me!
Oh, Jaded, if you ever see this thread, this is an application to become part of the Wiki Team. Thanks for considering!

On final note: If you really want to be a wiki guide author (which I wouldn't recommend yet), you have to change your style. The wiki is supposed to be formal and informative, without useless information (sludge anyone?). Have a look here: Upcoming Community Wiki Involvement, especially "This is a technical wiki not a story-line guide. No anecdotal novels please."

o_o

If you want to be on the wiki team but don't want to stick with the guidelines, I suggest not asking to be part of the wiki team. Even without the story theme of your guides, they still lack content. For a bit of effort, anyone can just go around and find information on each machine, function, etc. You can always try out writing novels, but don't expect your guide to be a success just because you slap "official" or "guide" on it or try to make it look official. You're going to have to make a guide that's to the point, helpful, and worth-using. Sure you can always change your guides and improve them after the fact, but they're going to have to be good when they're on the wiki. If you add story and leave out content, somebody else is going to have to review every guide for you, and what's the point if said person could just write the guide instead? Sure I'm going to be "the bad guy" here, but I'm just saying that it's going to have to be better than this.

The sludge in the background was not my fault. I just tried throwing it into the story, but it didn't end up working and threw others off course, so I removed it. Also, I added pics! Yay! I need to get around to adding more, but for now, this is all I can do.

Nobody would have noticed the sludge if you hadn't mentioned it, don't worry. Also, the "Aperture science clon-genetic engineer" is too themey for a technical guide. I think a good thing to remember while writing a guide is to refrain from relying on pictures. Your guide should look very good without pictures and be very specific. The pictures should be used to show GUI and such, and rather than having separate pictures for progress of functions, just include "the bar will fill up when it's done" or something. Also with the sludge or other anomalies, go the extra mile and use a flat map with a simple setup rather than machines connected to each other. Simplicity is incredibly helpful, and will help confused players more than you'd think.

You know, the OFFICIAL rap battle thread is one of the few exceptions, it gained officialismness after Jerome commented on it.

This was actually a flat map. If you look hard enough, you may see an iron tank in the background. Do note, however, that I am using 1.5.1, in which the Liquid DNA textures are bugged and do not work in Liquiducts or RC Tanks.

It went off-topic and turned into an opportunity for Adeptcraft to get crowded and laggy. People throw "official" on everything now..

Jumpfight5's OFFICIAL post:
Yea, I know...sometimes I just wish I were the last person to join servers, I assume other people think that too
Although I've never experienced lag with it (maybe cause my FPS is...4)

 

[Technician]

Your FPS is not four.

It's two.

 

[jumpfight5]

Well, sometimes I can get it to four,
But it fluctuates between 1 and 2.
I used to chill at 11... *sighs*

 

[Technician]

I chill at 28-156.

I believe I once hit 356

No, that was a joke.

 

[whizzball1]

I get pretty large Frames, so long as I don't have any large Frames.
(Second frames meaning RP2 Frames)

 

[Technician]

That made no sense unless you are meaning "frames" as in RP Frames.

 

[whizzball1]

Yeah. The second "Frames" is RP2 frames.

 

[Exedra]

I thought we were bashing his guide skills, not talking about FPS.

Nope, we're talking about how terrible his jokes get when he tries too hard.

A some what helpful guides if a bit out dated, or is it a part one of two, as atm any one that gets into bees soon leaves the basic machines & uses the more advanced versions, the dna is then used for serums & these then are used to manipulate the bees into what could be called ubber breeds ie species have have max or very near all the best traits, like max production/offspring/nocturnal/flyer, yes I know its over kill, but beleave me when you start getting deep into forestry/eb/tc bees you will settle for nothing but the ubber of each species you require, if you have a more advanced guide, or are currently working on one, I would suggest adding a link at the bottom of this one & visa versa, all said & done good work, keep it up.

edit: I have just been mulling over what an advanced guide would require from the power requirements to the custom alveary & there a is a lot of work required to do it a fashion the layman could understand, & also the changes to 1.5+ mods have an impact, but I look forward to what you may come up with, if at any time you need info on any part or wish to check whats changing feel free to pm me.

If you were talking about me, despite my avatar, I personally do believe I am a "he". If you are referring to whizzball, well, [REDACTED]
