The Best Power Source

Now, it's hardly fair to talk about "best power sources" anymore. There is only One BEST power source(at least for potential RF production). Get the latest copy of ReactorCraft by Reika and build a Tokamak Reactor already! I admit, it's a bit harder to convert to RF now IIRC,(caps on how much shaft power they can take limiting how much energy those engines output if I read the changelog correctly, unless that's input power thus generating shaft power?) But when we are talking over 1 BILLION RF a tick from what can be made from water...(IIRC) Is there much to discuss anymore?

I appreciate your help man, but please stop criticizing me before helping, that's what this forum seems to have turned into, a bunch of critics.
So, alright, I made a mistake, we all do.

Automation is the best source of power. An automated system that needs little to no input is the bees knees. Some do it with murdering villagers, others with tree farms. But anything that doesn't need me to touch it is always best.

The next time I get a cursed earth farm running, I'm going to power something from rotten flesh via Extra_Utilities culinary generators.

Bees knees...because bees are best automation... I made that into a pun didnt I... Anyways treefarms(only tested with MFR) are great

Thanks...

Thanks...

I have(well, had) an auto treefarm in lite2 with 3 dynamos, a redstone furnace. And an mfR treefarm. It works great when set up properly. Can be pricey though

While that reactor may be great, just realize that if you do it wrong, your ground will be a pretty shade of green ...

I just realized an alternate power source after big reactors. Once you've set up your first reactor it should convert the yellorium into blutonium. You can then use that blutonium to craft RTG fuel and get completely free and almost infinite power. It won't be a lot, but it's probably better than what you have going with the water mills. Then there'll be no need for conversion. Unless you wanna convert the power from the big reactors.

Wrong. Fusion reactors do not irradiate things.

It's 5 Million RF/tick - 24000 RF/tick = 4976000. The Fusion Reactor from GT might produce more, I'm not sure.

No, it produces nowhere near that (4096EU/t, if I remember correctly).

No, it produces nowhere near that (4096EU/t, if I remember correctly).

That was the most common recipe, there might have been one that produced more but I still doubt it's better than 5M RF/t.

Someone earlier today pushed my reactor to 58GW of power, or 10.3M RF/t (2.58M EU/t). I doubt the GT reactor can top that too.

Fair enough. I was just going by the big triple explosion we had been treated to in the other thread.

The "My old reactor exploded, here's a new one. EDIT: It exploded again". After three of those, you asked for a picture, and it was glowing green.

That was a fission reactor.

Nope, probably can't

Lot of stuff about reactors, still, I'm glad it EU side as I am so much more comfortable with IC2!

 

[Lordlundar]

My personal choice is utilizing Thermal Expansion stuff as a core so it's going to be the dynamos. Which one always depends on what I have the most available resource wise as they are all equal in production. If I have a ton of coal or charcoal system set up I'll go steam, if I have a solid lava access I'll go magmatic and if I have a lot of oil nearby I'll go compression or if I want to go cross mod a railcraft boiler with steam dynamos.

This is a fairly old thread I know but I could potentially inspire FTB'ers to use different power sources.
Anyway, back on topic, I'm currently setting up a biomass farm using items from my completely automatic MFR tree farm!

Thermopile.

Yes I'm a bit sick in the head.

I miss these soooooooooooo much.
