FTBUnleashed 5/12/15 quarry and bees and warps
5/12 - FTB Unleashed
Quarry still running, even after taking out about 200 ores for smeltery process, the ME Chest has: ores: 20 Al, 41 cinnabar, 136 Cu, 17ferrous, 45 Au, 418 Fe, 71 Pb, 76 Ag, 127 Sn, 31 monazit. 135 force gems, 11 lapis, 15 diamonds, 55 quartz & 59 quartz dust, 595 coal, 34 uranium. About 150 shards. 16k storage using 5626 of 16384. I still don't know how the 56 end stone got in that chest. Unless there was a little pocket of in underground -- I saw no trace of such a deposit in the quarry walls. Deep storage: 68581 cobble, 13026 dirt.
I did make a little 3-wide bridge across the quarry pit, with clear glass down the middle for fun. Made a stack of advanced alloy and a stack of carbon plate ... planning some more MFSUs and big solars, will need them.
I setup an ME IMport Bus, started frorce-wrenching some chests and dropping them under the import bus ... sucking them all into the ME network. Easier than walking all over looking for things!
Some choices for building blocks:
8 St around sugar = 8 whitestone blocks (WSt)
4 WSt = 4 large whitestone bricks (LWB)
4 LWB = 4 small whitestone bricks
quarried stone (QSt)
[SMELT] QSt -> Quarried block (QBl)
8 stone bricks around force nugget = 8 force bricks (yellow)
(any color) force bricks, 8 around dye = 8 colored force bricks
I mined out the last of that quarried stone deposit with some TNT. Desert bees - wow, the modest bees produced 64+28 mundane comb! My most productive little guys.
A1. 44 frozen comb, 63 drones.
A2. still without princess
A3. 63 drones, 53 frozen c.
Centrifuge full again, but now running a batch of about 250 mixed combs ... rather astounding production, without a big complicated expensive alveary. Here's what I got by ignoring the bees for two game sessions: 3x64+20 wax, 4 magic wax, 64+49 propolis, 3x64+28 honey drops, 63 honey dew, 22 cryst pollen, 39 snowballs.

Not much time to play. I decided to expand my thermal expansion lab. I ran it into the cliffside, made it 4-high with 4 times the area to work in. Now it's a quick walk through a door to the grinder room and smeltery. Really convenient. I setup a niter maker: hopper for sandstone -> pulverizer makes 2 sand + 10% chance of niter -> sand goes into cyclic assembler, 4 sand -> sandstone, and back to the hopper to be run again. So, 64 sandstone produces 32 sandstone, then 16, 8, 4, 2 and 1 ... so I guess one stack is the equivalent of running 127 sandstone when the math is done. Simple system.

Expanded my butterfly house. A creeper was watching me right at the base of the glass building, so I arrowed him and expanded my fences to keep mobs further away. Had another piece of cherry pollen bounce at me as I walked in. Chopped the silver lime next to butterfly house, it was mostly hybrid leaf blocks. Got about 18 saplings, one new species: common ash.
Not sure how to manage these darn trees. I really only want one or two of each, don't care about all the micro genetic stuff. If I get one that produces ++ seed oil, I may setup a forestry multifarm for it. Will probably use most of them for biomass.
Made another grinding heat axe, wrote a book and quill about the Force Infuser enchants, put it on a desk right next to the device itself, easy future reference without leaving the game and going to a wiki. Took a little trip in my tunnels, got a heap of ingots (heat/grinding), got a spoils bag with 14 force ingots, force bucket, 2 tears, 21 rail, steel helmet, 4 tin (quite a spoil).
Multifarm: too much to carry, grab a chest, force wrench and hook up an ME import bus: 160 force saplings, 4x64+37 sand, 3x64+50 force nuggets. I setup a dump chest with import bus, since my backpacks all have a "resupply mode" I can sneak-rclick them on the dump chest and all their stuff gets suked into the ME network. Too easy.
Cliff top: bio reactor empty again, tanks: biofuel 539b, biomass 593b, veggie juice 101b, fruit juice 243b, seed oil 4 small tanks. Need to add a big iron tank for seed oil. 2x64+38 xp berries. Brought stacks of barley seeds, cotton seeds, cactus green, bonemeal, let some melons seeds and pumpkin seeds pile up, then restart the bio reactor. Run 2x64 beech saplings in fermenter.
Smeltery done with 120 more clear glass.
Went on what was supposed to be a quick nether run, to grab some quartz and glowstone. First off, just to demonstrate that huge stacks of code can lead to unpredictable results, the nether side of the portal was a cloud of bats. A swarm. Have no idea how so many could have concentrated in one place! I wasn't going to run a video tonight, but that was hysterical and cool. And super laggy, so I had to cut the population down to size. I don't know how many bats there were, but after clearing both sides of the nether portal (they were all over the overworld chasm when I went back through), I had ... 2*64+55 bat claws!!
Not a bad run for materials: 26 glowstone, 4x64+14 nether quartz, 3 ardite ore, 1 cobalt ore, 65 glowstone dust, 65 force gems. Stocked up for a while. I'm glad there are some materials that still need to be gathered. I'm so stocked up on ores, and there are no big technology builds left to do, and I've decided to totally skip Thaumcraft this time around. I don't need Railcraft train networks if I tesseracts and Mystcraft books. I don't need Steve's Carts, since MFR machines do all the same things more easily. I looked at factorization but don't need to go through all that hassle for a little more ore. Maybe play with force fields a little? So, nothing big left to build, really. Sure I can run the mass fab more, but I only use UU matter for iridium for hybrid solar panels to generate more power for the mass fab to make UU matter. Hmm.
I did find one nether bee hive, but got just a molten comb, no bees.
Beez:
1. empty
Wow, hive #2 is nuts: ind p + d + diligent d + d + d + 16 stringy c + 9 pollen! Run ind + dil.
3. sweetend q + 16 d. chest: 4 sugar, 3 c, over 100 d.
4. empty. charmed[-] princess dies
5. diligent q + 17d
6. mystical q + 27d, chest almost full of drones + 8 c.
7. majestic q + 39 d, 8c.
8. imperial q + 44 d + 5c + 5 rj
9. noble q + 47d + 5d.
10. unweary q + 8d + 6c. Over 100 drones in chest.
11. ind q + 6d
12. ind q + 3d. 11,12 chest: over 100 drones + 8 c + 5 pollen.
A1. wintry q + 36d (put in chest). Chest: about 240d, 7c, oblivion frame.
A2. wintry d, no princess. chest empty.
A3. wintry q + 63d (put in chest). Chest: about 220d + 11c.
D1. empty bh
D2. sorc q + 5d, chest 70+ drones + 5c.
D3. sorc q + 8d + 2c.
D4. modest q + 15d. Chest 82d + 19c.
Setup two new apiaries at waterline, for my two water p+d pairs. When I find my two marshy pairs, maybe link out to my little marsh house and put the marsh and water bees out there.
