FTBUnleashed 5/17/15 ok bees, but how many trees?

5/17 - FTB Unleashed

Busy birthday weekend.  Found a little time to play.  I've been enjoying a few youtube series lately: PopularMMOs "Mods vs Maps" is a hoot, Hypno's Agrarian Skies series always has such big-scale automations for everything, seems like I"m just playing with rocks sometimes.

Checking my iron tanks: biomass 738b (turn on stills to make ethanol), biofuel 612b (bioreactor empty, turn off to refill), veggie juice 105b, fruit juice 255b.  Main tank farm: biomass 44b, ethanol 260b, creosote oil 412b, lava 714b+132b (combining lava tanks and running magmatic engines to pwoer rock crusher to pickup the overflow), oil 155b (have never used any oil, should just burn it, store it as energy, and use the tank for something else), essence 392b.  Liquid force 366b.

Scrap reserve 19*64+20 scrap.  Run 6 stacks to get 24 UU matter (took about 4 million EU), take 12 stacks and put them in my scrapbox dispenser (my scrapbox production line under IC2 lab), get the usual weird heap of stuff.  I'm (manually) dumping wooden tools and stick into a generator, filled up one RE battery so far.  Take out 8 force shards, 2 force gems, 3 cakes.  Tried replacing the slow auto-workbench with a packager, but while I could pump item in through the bottom, and it did make scrapboxes, from the sides it pulled out the scrap not the scrapboxes.

My super-slow cobble compression line has made; 23 double compressed, I manually made 2 triple and 1 quad.  Every now and then I throw 9 stacks in there from my deep storage.  If I was serious about makinf these I'd use cyclic assemblers.

.. dinner and work break ...

1. empty
2. ind/dil p + d + dil/ind d + d + d + 3 pollem + 13 stringy c.  Move ind/dil + noble to #1.
3. sweetened q + 26d.  5c+ 5 sugar.
4. empty
5. dil q + 27d
6. mystical q + 37d
5+6 chest: 11c, >100 d
7. majestic q + 42d + 6 c
8. imperial q + 47d + 4 c + 6 rj.
9. noble q + 54d + 18c.  Move drones to chest.
10. unweary q + 20d, 7c.
11. ind q + 27d.
12. ind q + 10d.  chest: 14c + 15 pollen, full of drones.
Water:
W1, W2: watery queens, no activity.
Desert:
D1. empty
D2. sorc q + 15d, chest 8c.
D3. sorc q + 10d
D4. modet q + 27d, chest 7c.
Arctic:
Took my 2 stray penguins out there by safari net.
A1. wintry q + 30d + 4c.
A2. no queen
A3. wintry q + 63d (put in chest) + 10c.

2 centrifuges: 64+23+22 propolis, 51+64+22 honey drops, 49+34 beeswax, 8 cryst pollen, 14 snowballs, 2 magic wax, 55 honey dew, 1 refractory wax.

Pump topside biomass tank down to tank farm, move the 2 stills between main biomass and ethanol tanks.  Biomass: 438b downstairs, 357b upstairs.  Switch topside fermenters to pump into tesseract, plan: topside iron tank will be dismantled, brought downstairs.  Use old backup lava tank for seed oil ... need two more liquid tesseracts.  Biofuel 755b.

Downstairs biomass 524b, open pump to stills, 262b topside.  Force wrench the 5 small tanks of seed oil, bring downstairs, pump into new tank, hook up tesseract pair.  Bring fresh batch of dyes for bio-reactor (bonemeal + ink sacs + cactus green + gray + light gray + lime dye), turn back on.  204b topside biomass, 605b in main tank, 280b ethanol.  Done pumping out the small seed oil tanks, hook up receiving end of tesseract ... 78b seed oil in big tank.  666b biomass downstairs, 144b up top ... taking forever ... biofuel 765b.  Add a block breaker, a stack of melon blocks gave 351 slices, turned to seeds, 4 stacks in squeezer, rest in bio-reactor.  Block smasher is similar, but has Fortune +/- selector and a tank presumably for mob essence to achieve the magic touch.  Broke another stack of melon blocks.  Topside iron tank 60b and dropping, almost done, 5b, done.

I figured out why my smeltery kept giving me half-finished ore blocks, and why when I clicked 63 in the tank it seemed to fill but left 3 in hand ... there were 3 sandstone in the bottom slots.  Oops.

Mob essence 434b, biomass 766b, ethanol 303b, seed oil 83b, creosote 443b (take out 100b), biofuel 808b, liquid force 496b.  Mostly just running chores tonight, huh.

Water queens want lily pads.

Made a pair of intra-linking books, ran by tunnel out to useless swamp base, made it useful.  Quick fenced-off aream gathered some lily pads.  New hives:
S1. swampy q + 2d
S2. swampy q + 2d
S3. watery q
S4. watery q.

Do need to made a chunk loader for these, though.

... break ...

Dropped off chunk loader at swamp bee station.

Wow, biofuel tank topped off at 864b, what the heck, shoot the pipe across to what used to be the biomass tank, it can hold 1,008 more buckets!  Veggie juice 122b, fruit juice 201b, seed oil 88b, biomass 646b, ethanol 374b.

One of the trees in my butterfly house was dropping pecans, got a pecan sapling, planted it, bonemealed it, it has a very wide leaf spread, so I lopped off about 10 saplings, planted some manually on the multifarm -- that should multiply the saplings nicely.

3. run diligent + sweetened, go for sugary.
A1. wintry q + 54d (take d).
A2. run wintry + frigid (Up_1)
A3. wintry q + 18d + 6c.
D1. run modest p + d.
D2. sorc q + 20d + 5c.
D3. sorc q + 12d.  No production, replace ds with cultivated d.  Try to make eldritch.
D4. modest p + 37d + 16c.
S1,2: no activity
S3,4: watery p + 2d.

Clear the trees in my butterfly house, plant pecan, orchard apple (new), hill cherry, aspen.  Got 31 cherries, 4 beechnut, for seed oil.

Clear out the almost totally hybridized aspen tree, get serious lag, have to log out twice.  Clear a few more trees: 2 silver birch, got copper birch (new), plant it, bonemeal, lop off 9 saplings.  New tree: mundane larch.  Take whole iron chest full of saplings back to lab.  Take out 5x64 silver lime, 3x64 common beech, put in biomass queue chest.  Biofuel 858+72b, biomass 750b.  Run around a bit, grab more dyes.

1. noble/dil p + noble* d + d.  move to #2.
2. was empty.
3. sugary/sweetened p, run with my sugary* drone.
4. empty
5. diligent q + 41d.
6. mystical 1 + 50d (take d)
7. majestic q + 48d (take d) + 8c.
8. imperial q + 53d (take d) + 5c + 7 rj.
9. noble q + 8d + 6c.
10. unweary q + 36d + 4c.
11. ind q + 51d (take d).
12. ind q + 12d.

11. add diligent drones, try ind + dil = iron (12%)
12. ran freshly inoculated industrious* p + wintry* d with ObF, got wintry/ind p + d + ind* d.  Give another shot of industrious species serum ... ok, run again.  Same result.  Add 3 wintry d.  Get ind/wintry p.  + wintry d = ind/wintry q ... offspring are ... pure wintry p.  Darn.  Guess I have to take her to the arctic and try it the other way around.  Run wintry+ind with ObF in A2.  Became ind/wintry, bring back to bee lab and run with wintry d.  Got ind/wintry, run with wintry.  Got wintry* p + d + d + d.  Darn.
12. run valient/charmed + charmed/valiant, looking for enchanted (10%).
1. run charmed/valiant + valiant.
2. got 3 stringy c, 2 dripping c from my noble/diligent hybrid.
3. run sweetened/sugary with sugary* again.
12. got charmed* p + charmed/valiant d + d.
11. got ind q, 3 diligent d left.
12. run charmed* + valiant*.
1. got valiant* p + d + charmed/valiant d.  run pure valiant.

Trying to sort bees.  Argh!

12. Run charmed/valiant + ind.  Get valiant/ind p.  Yuck.  Use ind serum.
11. Got diligent/ind p + d + d + d.  RUn dil/ind + ind.

12. run ind + forest = 10% tin.  Get forest/ind p, run with ind* d.
11. run ind + meadows = 10% copper

Break from that mess.  Biomass tank full at 864b, sugar cane overflowing, pump into stills and add an item tesseract to the "Main ME Dump" channel.  Ethanol 382b, lava 730b.  Biofuel 854b + 199b.  Wow.  Bio reactor empty again.

Bored, made 20 industrial TNT (got 63 niter from my little factory) ... came up with 10 diamond ore, 84 Fe, 4 monazit, 4 cinnabar, 6 Cu, 59 coal, 11 Sn, 3 emerald, 6 Al, 8 ferrous, 36 redstone, 5 Ag, 13 Pb, 34 Au; and 47 force gems.  In about 30 minutes.

Biomass 806b, ethanol 410b.  Run 3x64 plantballs from force saplings.  Run 67 force gems and some shards over to multifarm - pecan saplings have taken over, it does not seem to replant force saplings?  Did a batch by hand.  BUT no pecans, guess it harvests the trees before the leaf blocks mature.  Hmm.  Liquid force 492b.

Made a force lumberjack axe, harvested and replanted my silverbells, came out 3 saplings and 70 leaf blocks ahead.

Checked other tress, no new species.  Lots of butterflies in the greenhouse, and some flying wild around town.

No new bee species after a full day.
