Hey guys just making this so we have a place where we can get input or ideas for putting a bit of polish on our builds.

I'll start by asking for some help on making an apothecary. Its where I want my brewing to happen but can't really think of much to put in it other than a few brewing stands and a cauldron. I was really hoping that tallow golems would keep a cauldron filled but sadly that isn't the case

Here's what the space looks like:

The best thing you can do for your own convenience is to dedicate each brewing stand to a particular ingredient, and always keep the awkward potions pre-brewed for expedience. Item frames can help you remember what's where, with maybe framing the "finished" potions so you don't have to fuss with trying to memorize which ingredient does what.

When the FTB pack of your choice updates (only just got online "today," so I might be a bit behind on news), I recommend using the Redpower Project Table for conveniently storing the required bits and baubles to quickly craft the more complicated potion ingredients.

Thanks Silvas, I hadn't thought of that! I'm kind of looking for some aesthetic ideas as well.
