Actually, I'm just running the windmills into a Rotational Dynamo so I can power my Pulverizer and Sawmill. Since I always drain my XP before going up, I just make the 24 block jump from the edge of my farm to my infinite spring, aided by a Tinker's Longsword. Doesn't always work. :p

After wrestling with producing enough wood to keep my bee farm (49 alvearies total) supplied with impregnated frames, I have discovered that a single Forestry multi-farm can indeed keep up, but it requires Coast Sequoia saplings crossed with another tree species pollen so they grow faster. I'm making more wood than I believed was possible out of Forestry, but the Sequoia trees are gigantic. I guess I can consider breaking down my 5x5 chunk area that has four Steve's Carts running on two separate loops. LOL They've worked great, but boy are they ever slow and unpredictable (which is why I devised a system to run two carts on each track and keep them separated with railcraft holding tracks so they don't catch up to each other).

I found out how I don't have to constantly replace water for a sprinkler. I connected an aqueous accumulator to a tank under the sprinkler and now I don't have to constantly check for the water level.

Connect the sprinkler directly to the Accumulator. The accumulator provides enough water for it even without water next to it.

Brilliant innit. That's how I work my farms now. Conveniently the area under the dirt is all water because it's a bed of lilypads of overpoweredglory, so i have a bunch of ready made water source blocks to call on :)

I found that using bonemeal on ender lilies works backwards. (XU has some pretty complex mechanics...)
However, having the sigil of the green grove's passive effect seemed to work.

Also, for some reason, I can't get snowballs by shoveling flat snow (not the block). I was despairing because I couldn't find/harvest any snowballs, until my subconscious somehow told me to plant snowbell seeds in my golemized farm. That did the trick!

AND: I am now a botanist!

Had the same problem with TiCo shovels. But vanilla ones work for me.

There must be a way we can fill all 4 of the T3 altars in one go...right?
Yeah, i was thinking that it would at least choose a random altar to give the lp to. I was really wanting a way to fill my network quicker. I thought that if i made 4 really close altars all running speed runes then i could fill my LP network really fast.
