I see your sheep and raise you the Botania flower generating flower, with drum thing and a vacuum hopper. All botania flowers can be converted into dyes.
Yes, but the infrastructure for that is quite a bit more complicated since it would include fully automated mana generation. Automating Botania flowers is...well, let's say somewhat messy and occasionally accident-prone.

Yea.
I setup the forge dev thingy in eclipse a few days ago. It's pretty cool. I'm still trying to learn java, i just can't seem to find too much time.

Same here but I have just given up on it, if I have more time maybe but for now lets do other things then trying to learn it as with the time that I have now it is just not going to happen.

That's fine, but if you need to use vanilla "dyes" i.e. a recipe doesn't accept dyeBlack, it only accept ink sacs... then your idea is useless.
Although, if that isn't the case, then the Jaded Amaranthus is a good choice.. however, a drum wouldn't do anything, as that stores liquids. Filing cabinets may work though, if not a small 1k storage cell, just for botania, would last a long time :p

EDIT: You meant drum of the wild v_v I thought you meant liquid drums from ExU

Dye's are oredic'td AFAIK so shouldn't be an issue unless under very odd circumstances(ink sack being the primary one)

Yes, Botania's drum

A lot more fun and interesting tho;) and a lot more efficient then the small chance of a dye drop from sheep....

PS: why can't you Insert Quotes in an edit, will make dealing with Ninja's a lot easier.

If a mod doesn't use the oredict in their recipes (for example I make a mod which adds copper tools, and use <mymod>.copper as the ingredient, not oreDict:ingotCopper then Thermal Foundation copper wouldn't work). So it wouldnt be odd to find a recipe which doesn't work with botania dyes.
Especially blue/lapis

This only needs very little mana. As little as three dayblooms should be enough if you fire a redstone mana spreader like once every minute.

Currently updating one of my mods. Haven't had much time for it in between work and school. Hard to code all day and then come home and code some more.

So, Operation: Wait for Colin to make lots of steel is now complete.

And I now have both my Fission reactor and HP turbine laid out.

It was only at this point I remembered that my current energy storage, being mainly a few Mekanism ultimate energy cubes, is woefully insufficient for the task I was about the ask them to undertake...followed swiftly by the recollection of the reason I included Electricraft in the additions to Infinity.

So now i've rigged up a cunning method of automatic snowball production for the making of cryotheum coolant for superconducting wiring, and i'm about to start murdering a bunch of withers to farm stars for some auroral batteries.
