    Big Reactor .3 Turbines

    Yah, because of that I consider ExtraUtil to be a flat out requirement now for using the BR+Turbine system. Using Aqueous Accumulators works for the smaller reactors if you want a entire field of them but its a complete mess and a waste of cpu for trying to water larger ones.

    Big Reactor .3 Turbines

    It produces far more steam with the Ender then without and with the proper space between the fuel rods. I honestly can't explain it. You'd think that the opposite but its not. It only outputs steam in active reactor, no RF at all. A single small reactor like the above Middle one of the picture...

    Big Reactor .3 Turbines

    The 'best one' at the bottom left one of the last picture runs at 1797 RPM because that's the max it could with max possible steam a turbine will accept, the others all ran at 1801ish. The single blade turbine in the top mid of the picture is spinning at 27,221 RPM for the lolz.

    Na. Those are ExtraUtil Nodes, At the time I didn't know Mining Speed upgrades made them provide more water, its not exactly well documented.

    Big Reactor .3 Turbines

    So I spent a day testing different models out. The one in the bottom left is the best possible turbine you can make. Standing at 11H/11W/12L it has the max 80 blade surfaces spread across 5 fans (4 surfaces per blade), requires the full 2000 steam mb/t to produce 24,100 RF created by 37...

    Big Reactor .3 Turbines

    Hmm didn't know mining upgrades did that. Beginning Refit! Holy crap this is a ton faster. Thanks :D Edit: Wow this is way more effective. I only need a single EU Node with max Speed and Mining to water this 3-Rod Reactor.

    Big Reactor .3 Turbines

    On the positive side this thing basically prints ore since it can power 5+ laser drills at max speed for eternity so it would eventually pay all the gold/redstone back. lol

    Big Reactor .3 Turbines

    I can't even Imagine how I could make that kind of Cryo. A tiny 5Wx5Hx8L reactor with 2 fuel rods is out producing the water of 12 Extra Utilies Nodes with a full stack of Speed Upgrades in them, even if it worked like it does in TE with Cryo being 10x as good as water, That would be like 5...

    Big Reactor .3 Turbines

    So after making several designs trying to see what a Turbine maxes out at I came up with this. 80 Blades, takes the maximum 1750mb/t of Steam to turn the thing at the max 1800 RPM creating a maximum of 20,840RF (At mod default 1.0 settings) Here's my problems, No matter what I try I can't...

    MFR and Magical Crops

    So just hunt a few endermen for the pearls to make the seeds :o if your on peaceful difficulty, make a Peaceful Table and just walk away for like 5 minutes you'll eventually get a ender pearl to make the seeds.

    MFR and Magical Crops

    I'm not sure I don't have one planted on my test world to find out and they take a billion years to grow with no way to speed it up. Magic Crops has its own Ender Pearl plants and the fan works fine with them, they grow a hell of a lot faster then ender-lilys too.

    You can even improve it further now since Magneto-...whatever engines now respond to a redstone signal, you can set up a rednet computer on all of them and just have them activate like once every 5-10 minutes for 15 seconds and use practically none of the power of leaving them constantly running. :D

    Monster, Horizons, and Magic World 2 Updates (1/28/14)

    That was the plan, take Monster add default universal configs and tada 'Plain Monster Pack' was born. Eh.. Didn't recently Mojang just establish that the modders had no say over anything and if anyone wanted their mod in their modpack or to change something then thems the breaks? They can't do...

    Monster, Horizons, and Magic World 2 Updates (1/28/14)

    Some modders would tell you they don't want their mod balance changed by anyone and configs are only for end users personal changes, other modders actively balance against each other much to a lot of peoples annoyance (Railcraft, Forestry, IC2, ect.) if they don't use the other mods. I've never...

    Thank you my lady, you have saved me much work :D

    Monster, Horizons, and Magic World 2 Updates (1/28/14)

    Its very tempting these days. Edit: Thinking about, are the universal configs just plain as their supposed to be? Like could I just throw them over the configs that monster comes with and not have to do all this hand editing to backtrack all the changes?

    Would still be nice if we had the option of no FTB hack balancing.

    5,000 Buckets of Portable Lava

    Through the use of Rotarycraft's Extractor you can turn a single Firestone Ore into 4-6 uncut Firestones. Just be sure to cover the entire room your working in sprinklers and fans because its like non-stop fire all around you with all those unfinished firestones.

    Why don't people like IC2 anymore?

    You'd be a great Kerbal engineer. lol
