What tree and bees are you referring to? Never done anything with bees and kind of want to try them out at some point. especially if I can make a more efficient tree farm (especially for saplings if possible) My wood production is through the roof but saplings/leaves arent as good as I would like to ramp up ethanol production.
What does YOUR Power Room look like?

There are several traits in trees that can make some of them highly sought after. I believe there is a bamboo type tree that has a very high sapling generation as the tree normally only has a handful of leaves on it. Other trees traits give high sapiness. If you combine that with a tree that grows fast, and has lots of leaves, you end up with kinda a uber treee for creating biomass. Gendustry shortcuts the normal breeding mechanics and allows you to get the tree you want in a matter of days instead of weeks with traditional tree breeding.[DOUBLEPOST=1408751422][/DOUBLEPOST]Also, if you are getting into tree and bees, I would recommend going through the traditional tree/bee breeding using Forestry and Extra Bees/Trees before using the gendustry machines. You will have a lot better understanding of the mechanics. Also, not all packs will have gendustry, so you will need to create them without the super machines.
My power setup: I actually don't have this world anymore as it was on my old laptop (I have a desktop now)
Anyway my power setup in this world (which I am trying to replicate) was 3 basic solar panels running to my default IC2 setup (all base machines) to augment this power setup I had an auto crafting table producing plantballs from leaves I had harvested. The plantballs were being sent to a fermenter that was turning them into biomass. The biomass was being pumped into a still that was turning it into ethanol gas. The ethanol cans were then pumped into my generator and charged my IC2 line. The MJ was produced by a force engine from DartCraft that was fed manually and cooled by water from a TE aqueous accumulator. I never managed to finish my power setup and never got a good degree of automation going, but it was functional and got me a full set of nano armor so yeh...
Anyway thats my old power setup. I had a small house therefore a small area for expansion but hey as long as it works.
