Binnies Mods FAQ

Catch wild bees with a scoop, place them in an apiary or bee house, and let them produce drones and princesses. Combine a princess with a drone from a different species in a bee house to breed new species, then use the analyzer to identify traits.

Plant saplings and use a grafter or similar tool to collect pollen and cross-pollinate leaves. Place two different tree species near each other and let bees or manual pollination produce hybrid saplings.

Binnie's adds machines like the carpenter, squeezer, and centrifuge for processing bee products and tree materials. The carpenter shapes wood and tree products, while the squeezer extracts liquids from combs and fruit.

Breed bees with the traits you want, then use an analyzer or the beealyzer to inspect their genes. Selective breeding over generations lets you isolate traits like productivity, humidity tolerance, and special products.

Check that the queen has drones to mate with and that the environment matches her temperature and humidity needs. Also make sure the apiary or bee house has enough space and that flowers or other requirements are nearby.

A queen is created when a princess and a drone of the same or compatible species are placed together in a bee house or apiary. The queen will produce offspring and eventually die, leaving a new princess and drones.

The apiary is a simpler, automated housing for bees that produces combs and offspring. The bee house is used for controlled breeding and analyzing traits, often requiring manual interaction.

Binnie's Mods is designed to work alongside Forestry and often extends its bee and tree systems. Many items and machines are compatible, but check for overlapping recipes or duplicate species.

Use a beealyzer or the analyzer machine from Binnie's Mods to inspect a bee's genes. Place the bee in the analyzer to see its species, traits, and possible mutations.

Large numbers of active bees or growing trees can cause lag due to constant tick updates. Reduce the number of active hives or use chunk loaders sparingly, and consider upgrading to more efficient machines.

Binnie's Mods is a suite of mods that expands the Forestry mod , adding new bee and tree species, breedable flowers, and genetic manipulation. It also adds related machines, products, and a core mod with items like Compartments for storage.

It supports Minecraft versions 1.4.6, 1.4.7, 1.5.1, 1.5.2, 1.6.4, and 1.7.10.

It is designed to expand the Forestry mod , extending its bee and tree breeding systems.

Extra Bees adds 107 new bee species to Forestry , which can produce items ranging from dyes to rare metal dusts.

Extra Trees adds 96 new tree species, such as Banana, Brazil nut, and Douglas-fir, along with new fruits and 35 new wooden planks.

Botany adds a new flower breeding system with 46 species that can be bred into up to 80 different colors. Flowers can be grown manually in small gardens or on a large scale in Forestry farms.

Genetics lets you isolate, sequence, and inoculate genes between species, and manipulate bees, trees, butterflies, and flowers. It also allows acclimatising them to different environments.

Yes, it adds machines like the brewery and distillery for making drinks from fruit, a woodworker for patterned tiles, and new alveary components for bee production.

The Apiarist Database is a tool added by Extra Bees that keeps track of discovered bee species, mutations, and traits.
