Practical use of Dragon Egg Energy Siphon?

do tesseracts do EU?

Nope. Hopefully someday, but perhaps not. A slightly more complicated way is to use turtles to move batteries between your power generation location and your power usage location. You could also use RP2, or BC, or whatnot, but turtles are so much easier to deal with, eh?

I despise turtles, mainly because I don't know LUA that well. I WANT to learn it, but for now I'm content using my other methods of stuff.

MJ genration is the way to go...

ps: if the siphon randomly explodes, blame greg and his tech.

well, ALWAYS blame greg and his tech, even if you know minning that MFE with a pickaxe was your mistake.

I was thinking of getting into bees myself, and getting the Thaumic Bees mod. I'd love to get some chrome bees because I desperately need a lot of chrome/titanium, and electrolyzing ruby dust is sooooooo slow.

Unfortunately there's no chrome bee, but there's ruby bee and with the right amount of frame housings and impregnated frames they become prettttttty fast; and... make MOAR electrolyzers like 4-8 of them and you won't find it slow anymore.

Why don't people make their bees with elongated life and fastest work speed (and night, rain and underground)?I always see them using pure breed...

Because they haven't reached the production state? If they do they must change the gene to increase the production.

what I mean is that people get those things that you remove from bees (I forgot the name, I think is serum or something like that), like speed and life and you inject them to other bees, but even if people can make them, they don't use it.

Because elongated is garbage and worse than long lifespan?

The order is:

• Shortest
• Shorter
• Short
• Shortened
• Normal
• Elongated
• Long
• Longer
• Longest

Because,
1. those machines need a lot of bee DNA and BC power
2. they are satisfied with the bee productivity (I'm not with my default valuable bee, so I'm going inject those bees muahahahaah)
3. people are playing in a 24/7 server with good bee automation
4. the time you waste to automate bee back into apiary/alveary is very small (like 3-4 second including breeding with the correct set up), and people are too lazy to change their bee to longest life to get that benefit.
5. they think XBEE machines are op, hence not using them.

If you ever get to the point that you want to learn enough that you are willing to learn, I'd suggest this video series:

I've watched through the first one a bit just to make sure it is fairly good, and I found it to be an acceptable introduction to the LUA programming language.

And, so you know, programming is easy. The HARD part is troubleshooting (fixing your programming when it breaks and you aren't sure WHY it is broken). When (not if. As we say in the motorcycle community: You ARE going to crash. It is an issue of when, not if, so always be prepared for it) you have that type of an issue, the computercraft forums are a great place to get expert help, and the forums here are usually fairly good with that, as well.

Good luck, and I hope you'll give turtles a thought!
