    [1.10.2] Age of Engineering

    Yes I seem to be getting more power :) Moved my Smelting and Steel making stuff over from old base, Storage nightmare beginning to look less like a nightmare. Now focusing on Steel production. I've run into a problem with Immersive Engineering and it only seems to be this mod. Whenever I...

    [1.10.2] Age of Engineering

    Thankyou so much for your detailed information :) I have built 8 Thermoelectric generators using Lava / Snow, next to my power tower, hopefully it should generate some basic RF, along with my 64 TF/Tick solar array and two windmills. I'll put some proper tiling / flooring around them later...

    [1.10.2] Age of Engineering

    Yaaay! :) Finally made it to the Ender Age. These machine chassis sure do take some resources, wonder what I should build first in this age? Basement is getting busy, might be due for a refit soon. -Wuffle!

    [1.10.2] Age of Engineering

    Thanks for the great ideas, with all these resources lying around (see below), I decided to go make a pile of solar power. My 'Power Tower' is now generating EU and RF from wind and solar, and I have a 'solar farm' next to my base with 64 level 1 solar panels from 'Solar Flux Reborn'. That's...

    [1.10.2] Age of Engineering

    My main issue at the moment is 'inventory nightmare', and power.. I'm using IC2 as my ore processing/manufacturing system and IE as the source of power for my ore generation. I'm trying to build up half decent solar power for IC2 and IE... but might go with water wheels for RF production as...

    [1.10.2] Age of Engineering

    Actually, once you 'get it' with Integrated Dynamics.. it's actually quite simple. But even as a professional in I.T, with years of development under my belt, it took me an evening or two to 'get it'. I think the main thing is the 'variable cards' bit. I'm still a little unsure of the whole...

    [1.10.2] Age of Engineering

    I am seriously impressed with Integrated Dynamics, it took me a while to get my head around it with variable cards and so forth but now I will be making extensive us of this amazing mod going further into this pack. To regulate the whole process, the key I found was to control the atomic...

    [1.10.2] Age of Engineering

    My SmoothStone generator is up and running, basic redstone clock mechanics in place (which I still don't 100% understand, borrowed this clock design from a video). I'll need to get my head properly around more vanilla mechanics. After fiddling with repeater settings I got it working. Now...

    [1.10.2] Age of Engineering

    Absolutely, one really ingenious thing about this particular mod pack, it forces you to branch 'sideways' into new mods / areas compared with other mod packs, instead of 'rushing' to EnderIO/AE2 i'm finding myself having to find other ways of doing things, hence the big investment in IE2... and...

    [1.10.2] Age of Engineering

    Done :) I will indicate here that my design here for this build is blatantly inspired by leldra's magnificent buildings, whose build I can only be inspired by, never truly match :) That large tower off to the side is my 'Tower of Power', it will be filled with IE, HV capacitors soon, and...

    [1.10.2] Age of Engineering

    Windows! :) Your screenshots inspired me to 'build big'. I am always building these cramped 9 x 9 things, which soon become overwhelmed by machines, storage and all the wiring. Going to add a partial second floor and a big basement area and spread out a little. This will be my main...

    [1.10.2] Age of Engineering

    I am inspired... never built anything out of those materials before... I hope you don't mind me borrowing some of your styling queues :) :) -Wuffle!

    Thankyou :) I'm expanding it soon. -Wuffle,

    IC2 reactor design tools

    I've tried both of those apps, thanks for that, the app doesn't model heat generation though and doesn't tell me what the bits actually are or what they do. But it does help though ;) I think that one of the big issues I am having with this mod is that so much of the material related to it is...

    [1.10.2] Age of Engineering

    Well, I am about to give up on semifluid generators... I've gone to the mining dimension and tried all sorts of builds... I get the theory, I have a solar powered farmer/macerator/canning machine with a CESU as a power backup so that the farm doesn't consume any power. So I have a ton of...

    Lets See Some Bases! Give Us a Tour!

    Here's my current (a couple of weeks in the evenings) base in Age of Engineering. Using Laboratory blocks as I like the look, given that I am focusing heavily on getting IC2 built out before moving beyond Age-4. Automated farm for Biogas generation. Wheat farm with crop sticks in a 11 x...

    [1.10.2] Age of Engineering

    Thanks zBob :) I really appreciate it :) I came across that site the other day and it is indeed incredibly useful. Here's my setup, with pics: I have set up an automated wheat farm using IC2 crop stick and a farming block, powered from my main base's MFE/Solar array. Under the farm is a...

    [1.10.2] Age of Engineering

    I think the support forum is the best place for this post, as it's not an official FTB pack you may even be best heading over to the mod pack creators discqus page or wiki? I myself have experienced no stability issues at all with this mod pack, and am running a server 24 x 7. -Wuffle!

    [1.10.2] Age of Engineering

    I am looking for a way to make HUGE EU/T power with my IC2 setup, anyone done this? I don't have enough uranium to make nuclear power an option yet. Has anyone done much with semifluid generators?

    Typical Reactor Designs

    Are you going to be running steam to turbines or just generating RF from the reactor itself? Not sure what mudpack you are running, but if you have computer craft I strongly recommend looking at this video, it should work with extreme reactors and big reactors. To full with liquid, I build a...
