FTBUnleashed 5/19/15 deeper into bees (my brain hurts)
5/19 - FTB Unleashed
Well, as I was sleeping I remembered that there are bee recipes in NEI. So after not being able to make the tin (stannum) or copper (cuprum) bees according to the wiki, I figured I'd look and see if those mates are even available in this modpack. Turns out, yes they are, BUT the notes in the recipe window say you need a "foundation block of copper/tin". Don't know what that means, but with a metal block above and below the hives, I did manage to get some half-breed metal bees. I did get a stannum/ind princess but with a fertility of 1x and rocks pollination, inoculating her with flowers pollination and maximum fertility.
12. run cuprum/ind (4x) + cuprum*. Got cuprum* p (yay!) + cuprum* d + d + cuprum/ind d + d. Run pure cuprum pair (they're both diurnal, nocturnal too), take out oblivion frame. Put the cuprum/ind in isolator -- I know it's a long shot getting a specium serum from a half-breed (probably about 1/16 chance) but I have no other use for mixed genes. Got it! Cuprum species serum! I guess I'm collecting all the species serums, too ...
11. stannum is stuck. I have a stannum/forest and a stannum/ind, have to run them. Got stannum* princess, but no longer have any stannum drones, not even half-breeds. So, put 1x stannum* princess in inoculator for 4x fertility, and run ind + forest hoping to get at least part stannum ... nope, forest/ind p + ind*.
11. forest/ind p + d, run forest/ind + ind*.
12. put the apiarist pipe back in, take out oblivion frame, let em run in peace.
Setup #13 with iron blocks above & below, add oblivin frame, ind* + dil*.
3. Got my first pure sugary princess, mate with my only pure sugary drone, new species with solid foothold.
11. got ind* p + stannum/forest d. Run my pure 4x stannum* p with this guy.
12. produced my first copper nugget from bees. Don't really need tiny amountd of copper, just working through all the species.
13. Wow ... got ind d + 2d + diligent d + d + d + d + d, but NO princess?? okay, when I clicked out a bee, I got the diligent/ind p. Relieved. Run with the 2 ind drones.
Quick run, not listing products:
1. valiant p + d + d.

13. dil* p (4x) + dil d + d + d + ind d.
Argh, my trees are on fire, lightning bolts on a clear day. Why?? Run around and put them out.

A3. wintry q + 57d (take) + 7c.
13. dil p + d + ind d + d.
S1. marshy q wants mushrooms, only able to plant 2, still not happy.
S2. marshy q okay, working.
S3. watery p + 2d.
S4. watery p + 2d.
13. ind p + d + d + dil d + d.
13. dil p + d + ind d + d.
13. dil p + d + d + d + d. Run dil + ind, I do have iron blocks here, you know ...

4. growing/forest q.
1. frigid/wintry p + frigid/noble d + noble/dil d. Oops.
4. forest/growing p + d + growing* d (first pure breed) + forest* d. Run forest/growing + growing*.
13. cult/charmed + ind, plus Al blocks, going for aluminum bee
1. diligent/ind + noble.
4. forest/growing q wants leaves. ??. Inoculate. Now wants flowers.
13. charmed/ind p + aluminum/ind d + cult/ind d. Remind me not to use half-breeds for this! Run an ind* p from chest + cultivated drone.
13. common/ind p + d + d. Huh? Inoculate the p back to pure ind.
1. noble/ind p + noble/dil d + ind/dil d. Halt.

5/20 - FTB Unleashed
Over by the force tree farm, one whole side of my fence was missing, animals roaming around. Probably another lightning strike. I ran two stacks of sand in smeltery, made glass panes, replaced the main pen with glass panes instead of flammable fences. Much better view.
Thinned the red & yellow flowers around my bees, got a stack of each; pulverized a stack of bones, was able to add red + yellow + pink + white dyes to bio-reactor, switch it back on. Tanks: biofuel 844+207b, veggie juice 148b, fruit juice 270b, downstairs: lava 730b, mob essence 501b, creosote oil 397b, seed oil 115b, biomass 592b, ethanol 590b. Saw on a video last night that you can just make the super easy purple biofuel and run it through a Unifier to get ethanol ... darn!
Automate hives #1 and #4. Got my first watery propolis, really don't need water, but it's still something new.
13. aluminum* princess (!) + ind* d + cult/ind d. Princess has 1x fertility, needs a shot, 4x fertility, run with one of my two aluminum/ind drones. Got aluminum* (2x/4x) p + aluminum* 1x/4x d + d + d + aluminum/ind d. RUn aluminum* pair in #6, take out mystical q + 26d.
Time to thin the ranks of my bee horde. The apiarist's chest says I've discovered 36 of 236 species, have had 2762 queens, 2681 princesses, 6697 drones. Indexer must have at least 1000 of them. I tried sorting by queens / princesses / pure / hybrids, but not sure if the un-analyzed bees sort properly in the last step. I can't afford to scan them all. Anyway, reducing numbers to no more than 10 stacks of each species, preferably the biggest stacks available (most likely to be pure breeds), and remove almost all the hybrids unless one half is a very rare species. I have about 20 majestic/whatever hybrids, not useful except as DNA. I have a stack of 54 imperial (short slower 4x), so I doubt I need the 1-stack unkown genome drones.
11. stannum q + 18d
12. cuprum q + 9d.
11-12 chest: 5 Cu nuggets, 14 Sn nuggets, meadows q, meadows q, 20 misc stannum d (ditch 9 of the singletons), about 120 industrious d (ditch the unscanned singletons and the ones that want rocks), 6 cuprum d, 2 aluminum* d, 2 aluminum/ind d, 4c.
Oops, left my flowers pollination serum in synthesizer too long, got 16 charges but awful quality. Into purifier: good quality. I did make 14 charges of excellent quality Maximum Fertility serum. But you know, maximum fertility is a bit too much!
Gave a rocky* p the flowers pollination trait, run in #13 with ObF and 5 diligent*, going for tolerant bees.
With several stacks of 40-60 diligent drones, I don't need unscanned singletons or weird mixes like diligent/wintry.
1. primeval q, chest: ancient comb (my first), primeval d (long lifespan).
2. ferrous q, Fe nugget. Must be 1x fertility, pull queen, give her normal fertility.
4. growing q + 9d. Chest 1c.
13. rocky/dil p + d + d, run rocky/dil + dil*.
11. stannum q + 21d.
12. cuprum q + 11d.
13. rocky/dil p + dil d + d. Oops, getting diluted. Run p with a rocky* drone.
3. sugary q + 6d.
5. diligent q + 14d.
6. aluminum q + d.
13. rocky/dil p (rocks) + rocky* d + d (flowers). Get a fresh rocky* p from my quarry dump chest (forgot I had 7 of them in there), give flowers pollination serum.
5. run cult/sorc p + valiant d, trying for 10% excited. Pull diligent q + 15d.
6. chest: aluminum d + d + d.
13. rocky* p (flowers) + 5 diligent* d. Going for tolerant.
13. rocky/dil (1x) p + dil/tolerant d. Give 4x fertility. Run again.

D2. sorc q + 51d (take d).
D3. cult/sorc p + d + sorc* d + sorc/eldritch d + c. Bit of a mess, pull these.
D4. [goal: skulking] modest* p (from D1) + eldritch* d from home, + ObF. Chest 6c, take 4 singletons home for DNA. Had 19c in chest.
D4. [goal: skulking] eldritch/modest p + d + d. Run a pair. Queen says hostile environment. Take her home then.
13. rocky/dil p + d + tolerant/dil d + dil* d + d. Run rocky/dil pair.
13. dil/tolerant p + rocky/dil d + rocky* d. Run dil/tol + tol/dil.
Warp out to Bangalore with a scoop and some stacks of oak wood, buy 4 apiaries, smash some hives, come back with 3 modest p + 2d + sorc p + d ... and a spider spawner (thanks, force wrench!).
13. tolerant/dil p + d, both 1x. Boost p to 4x, run again.
new hive 14. run my eldritch/modest pair + ObF.
14. eld* princess + eld/modest d + d. Run eld* with 4 modest* drones.
13. dil* (rocks 1x) p + tolerant* (rocks 4x) drone + dil/tol d + dil* d + d.

3. sugary q + 8d + 4c + 5 sugar.
4. growing q + 15d + c.
5. [goal: excited] valiant/sorc p + d + sorc/val d. run valiant/sorc pair.
6. aluminum q + d, chest now has 2 + 2 + 3 + 2d, 1c, no nuggets.
7-10 producing.
11. stannum q + 33d. Add IF.
12. cuprum q + 14d. Add IF.
13. empty
14. no flowers. eld/mod q wants cacti, give flowers pollination.
15(NEW). [goal: arid] meadows* + modest*.
1,2: pull primeval and ferrous queens, both have 1x fertility, give 4x fertility.
Run an aluminum/ind bee in isolator, get effect cancel (x), shorter lifespan (x), fast productivity and aluminum species (!) serums.
14. modest* p + d (both want flowers, diurnal, nocturnal) + eld/mod d. Pull.
13. [goal: lead] run ind* p + common/dil d + lead blocks
A1. wintry q + 45d (pull d). Run wintry + dil. [goal: frigid]
A2. was trying wintry + ind = icy. Got a mix of ind, wintry, icy drones, but princess turned ind/wintry (take home and turn back to ind*). Add wintry q over 3 ind d.
A3. wintry q + 30d + 7c.
S1. marshy p + 2d.
S2. marshy q + d. stuck?
S3. water p + 2d + 2 damp c.
S4. water p + 2d.
11-12 chest: 7 Cu nugget, 6 Sn, 10c.
15. meadows/modest p + d + d. Run meadows/mod + mod*.
Well, no new bees or trees, no pure-bred lines anyway. Bedtime ...
