Yep because it instantly burns up that’s why.

And overkill Durability Damage doesn’t matter for most things. I think it only matters for Tape if anything.

So I’ve decided to finally try playing around with your bumbles. I spawned a bumbliary, wild princesses, and wild drones in creative to test. It seems to only accept one princess, but will take a whole stack of drones, and after a few minutes, it consumes the princess, and TWO drones, and spits out only a dead bumble. What gives?

Gregorius · July 21, 2020, 9:10pm

The consuming 2 Drones part is intended so people dont just drop a shitload of Drones to afk the process. But that there is no corpse is indeed a Bug.

psusi · July 22, 2020, 3:13pm

So why are they dieing?

Gregorius · July 22, 2020, 6:21pm

Because they after reproduction they get used up, for Gameplay Balance reasons. Cant have those things live forever and clog up your Storages, like Forestry Bees do.

psusi · July 22, 2020, 6:39pm

I mean why are they dieing in a few seconds and not producing anything? Also why clutter up your inventory by giving back the dead ones?

Gregorius · July 22, 2020, 8:11pm

Uh they do produce something? They make a Princess into a Queen, which then will produce Combs over time depending on how well the work related Gene is.

Also in case you didnt notice, Dead Bumblebees get deleted whenever a new cycle starts.

psusi · July 23, 2020, 12:58pm

I don’t see a queen and am not getting any combs.

Gregorius · July 23, 2020, 1:42pm

There would be a Bug unless ofcourse you placed the Bees in a foreign Biome. Where did you get them from and is the Climate at your Base matching the Climate of where you got the Bumbles from?

psusi · July 23, 2020, 1:51pm

Like I originally said, I spawned them in creative. The tooltip says “Generates random ‘Outsider-plains-biome’ genes when used”. F3 says I’m in a plains biome.

Also I noticed a compat problem last night. It seems you added ‘river water’ recently which appears to spawn like vanilla water but only in river biomes. Pam’s fish traps don’t seem to work in it though.

psusi · July 23, 2020, 5:40pm

I started flying around my superflat creative world looking for a non plains biome and came across this.

Gregorius · July 23, 2020, 6:20pm

Did you have the Bumbliary outside and with the proper “Flowers”?

Damnit, that is an Issue… How the heck am I supposed to fix that one…

I presume something generated next to this Bedrock Ore Pile, while not causing a Block Update. Try placing a Block in front of the Unknown Ore and then breaking that Block.

psusi · July 23, 2020, 6:50pm

Yep. I surrounded it with sunflows, rose bushes, poppys, and dandelions.

Ok, this is weird… when I reloaded the world, that now looks like this:

Notice how it is no longer two blocks tall.

Gregorius · July 23, 2020, 7:20pm

Oh, that one chunk you were standing in did not generate right, or did not sync its content to you. Vanilla Issue.

psusi · July 24, 2020, 3:53pm

So I set up an invar fluidized bed burning box and two regular invar burning boxes to drive an invar turbine at 64 RU/t to centrifuge sluice juice. I stuffed the fluidized bed with a stack of lignite coal dust I had previously centrifuged while I sluiced and centrifuged some more. I tried adding more fuel to the fluidized bed burning box after I got another stack out of the centrifuge, but it wouldn’t take it. I could only add fuel to the box after it had completely run out and shut down.

Gregorius · July 24, 2020, 4:10pm

Are you sure inserting by hand works while the Burning Box is running?, because it is not supposed to let you touch it by hand while it is running, as to not disturb the Fluid Bed. Hoppers exist for a reason.

psusi · July 24, 2020, 4:38pm

Oh, I didn’t realize fluidized bed burning boxes were supposed to be different and I know I have used a hopper before I just didn’t expect a hopper to work but hand not to.

An Update to GregTech has been released!

Cue the fully automatic Changelog:

I decided to backport and fix GT6U Coconut Trees.

6.14.00:
[NOTE]
The Thaumic Fixer Mod by Chocohead is no longer needed nor compatible!
We have our own Version of it now, which also works with more than just ~3 specific Mods… He really fucked up that one…
[NOTE]
Bugs that might have happened to a few things, that I might have overlooked could exist, such as:
“GT6 TileEntity Blocks changing their default Color, because I added one more Defaultable Color Parameter to save space”
“Recipes for certain wooden Items being uncraftable, because of the general Wood Type overhaul”
“Some random thing might Crash when updating from 6.13 to 6.14 because the ASM Code is not tested with ALL the Mods” (I am very confident this wont happen though, just not confident enough to not mention it at the very least)
[COMPAT] CoFH-Core should now much less likely crash SinglePlayer Worlds on Startup with the FMLProxyPacket Race Condition. OvermindDL1 made an ASM® thingy to fix it so my original brutal way isn’t needed anymore.
[COMPAT] TerraFirmaCraft(Plus) Stuff should work slightly better now. TFC Sticks and Torches are now being accounted for when doing Recipe Outputs.
[IMPROVED] The Extender Manual now has a few more Lines to explain what Extenders are actually doing. I also added a Tooltip to Two-Faced Energy Converters (such as the Peltier Cooler) to remind people that Universal Extenders do exist and can be used to literally cut Corners, when there is no “Thermal Conductor Wires” or similar available.
[FIXED] An Issue reading Configs on Apple based File Systems (certain Config Files were deleted). I did not think Apple could do a mix of the Windows way and the Linux way of handling Case Sensitivity in File Names to the point of causing this.
[FIXED] Fluid Tanks/Pipes with huge Capacities should no longer be limited to Integer.MAX_VALUE anymore.
[FIXED] Lava Blocks should no longer set NON-flammable things on Fire, just because they are made of Wood. (Forestry Fireproof Wood and GT Fireproof Wood for example)
[FIXED] Some things I saw GT6U has fixed too, like TFC Damage Multipliers for Heat and Frost Damage.
[FIXED] Whoops, I made Titanium Invisible by accident.
[FIXED] Crash with IC2 when High Level Radiation Effects are applied, like the ones from Neutronium.
[FIXED] There was ~5 second long Lag Spikes, when certain Recipes were asked for, by the On-Demand Recipe System. Specifically Recipes with Selector Tags, Extruder Shapes or Fluids (Sawmill), aswell as Recipes with Empty Slots in the Anvil (Item Casings).
[FIXED] Drones just vanished instead of dieing during the Bumblebee Breeding Process in a Bumbliary. Now there actually is Corpses for the dead breeding Drones too.
[CHANGED] Certain Worldgen Features will no longer be present in the Overworld when TerraFirmaCraft is loaded.
[CHANGED] Made Pincers and the Plunger the right Tool to harvest the Dragon Egg and Dragon-Egg-like Mod Blocks.
[CHANGED] Technically speaking, Shovels/Spades/Plows and such should be able to break Fire now, BUT due to the nature of how you click Fire to break it, that wont directly work. This is just a special case in case a Mod adds a Block that uses the Material “Fire”, so that it can be harvested somehow.
[CHANGED] Crates now use Crowbar Harvesting to drop their Contents instead of Rightclicking with Crowbar. Also works with the Universal Spade.
[CHANGED] Crates can now be made with Wooden and Plastic Screws too. Iron based Screws were maybe a little bit of a too difficult requirement for this kind of thing.
[CHANGED] Pipe/Wire Selection Boxes and placement Behavior.
[ADDED] Zeolite to Dungeon Loot Chests just to make sure people can find it by accident.
[ADDED] Pickaxes and Drills made of Knightmetal or Fiery Steel can now be used to break Twilight Maze Walls about 40 times faster. The Construction Pickaxe is faster than the regular Pickaxe in this case, since the Maze Bricks dont count as natural.
[ADDED] Tapes can now be put in Shelves. Remote Activators can also be put in Shelves now, but are hidden as a Book like most things you might not want people to notice, such as Levers or Keys.
[ADDED] The Shelf in Workshops in GT6 Dungeons now contains two Rolls of Tape, which is always enough to haul both of the Stone Mass Storages and then some.
[ADDED] Farming themed Room to GT6 Dungeons to showcase the Universal Flower Pot and a good use for Glowtus as Covering for the Water Hole in Farms.
[ADDED]
The Coconut Tree from GT6U got Backported, and has been given proper development. No longer a tall Hazel Tree Ripoff.
These Trees will grow at Beach Biomes, aswell as most Tropical and Oasis Biomes.
Due to the lower amount of Leaves, they have a higher Sapling rate than any other GT6 Tree to compensate.
You might have found those “Work in Progress” Saplings in random Chests in Dungeons and such, now they are all growable.
The dropped Coconuts behave just like other Mods Coconuts in GT6 Recipes, and if you didn’t have such Mods, you can make Coconut Milk, Coconut Cream and similar now.
[ADDED]
Dedicated Wood Materials for many Types of Wood.
This will influence basically every common Wood ITEM. Ofcourse the Generifier works on all of them.
Sticks generated on the ground in the World can have different Materials like Rotten, Mossy or Dead Wood aswell as Biome specific Variants (Birch Forest Biome = Birch Sticks). They can be used like normal Sticks.
The NEI Tree Family GUI also got 6 more Slots now to display which amounts of Sticks/Pulp/Bark/Charcoal you can get from each Type of Tree.
Many Crates that contain Wood Planks now have this variety too. Some of these Crates can also be found in GT6 Dungeons in a new Pile that isn’t the Metal Crates.
Forestry Stuff can now be Fire Proofed like the GT6 and Vanilla Logs/Beams/Planks. (Forgot to add those Recipes to my Stuff initially)

OvermindDL1 · July 27, 2020, 7:15pm

Eh, the player can make their own vanilla water tank for those fishtraps to work in, it’s what I always did anyway, lol.

psusi · August 11, 2020, 1:48pm

I’ve been trying to finally make a shredder so I made a steel buzzsaw to cut a diamond into a plate, and a steel turbine to power it, and connected it to my two invar boilers + fluidized bed / dense invar boiler, and threw in the old pair of bronze boilers to get enough steam through a standard bronze pipe to the turbine to generate 96 RU/t. For some reason the buzzsaw started the job and consumed the diamond, then stopped, and the boilers began to overpressureize. What am I missing here?
