    Everyone loves Stone Brick floors. :D

    1.6.4 Liquid Fuel Boiler fuel changes.

    You'd think that it would be worth 240 steam with 240 mirrors but it only seems to be worth 200, no matter how you draw the steam you can't power more then 10 dynamos at max. I theorize that some sort of bottleneck is occuring inside the boiler towers; the steam hits max in the block's on the...

    I am curious on what those 2 solar towers in the background are for, are they part of the refinery?

    1.6.4 Liquid Fuel Boiler fuel changes.

    The Water Boiler tower is 7 stacked high with a Tesseract on top (so pipes won't block sunlight to the mirrors). Underneath the boiler tower is Aquaeous Accumulator feeding it water because it's only water intake is rather sketchy and this garuntee's it keeps working. Where those mirrors are...

    1.6.4 Liquid Fuel Boiler fuel changes.

    This is the physical maximum mirrors a tower can take It can keep 10 dynamos running at 100% since its equal to 10 high pressure boiler blocks. I recommend putting the solar towers on mystcraft worlds with always sunny and no weather.

    A previous version had that, was this eldritch-horror-tentacle-mess of liquiducts, you couldn't even see most of the machinery from a birds eye view, or where basically anything was coming from or going to. lol

    1.6.4 Liquid Fuel Boiler fuel changes.

    I'm currently testing feeding the dynamos steam from Factorization's Water Boiler towers, I am getting promising results atm which is good because I always have tens of thousands of silver laying around doing nothing. :O

    How a Buildcraft Refinery should look...

    This was the last fuel refinery I designed, produced about 3 buckets of fuel per second. This was the prototype from a test world, the finished one on the main server is below ground so you can't really take pictures of it.

    1.6.4 Liquid Fuel Boiler fuel changes.

    It's a meaningless nerf that won't change anyone's play style, if Solid + charcoal is your go to its still going to be your go to. The thought that just because they made a Charcoal; a infinitely renewable, easily mass-producable fuel worth only half as much heat would suddenly gives it some...

    1.6.4 Liquid Fuel Boiler fuel changes.

    No. I'm implying that refinery costs are 4x greater then they are in 1.5 as a result of having to process 4x the amount of oil to get the equivilent amount of MJ from 1.6 fuel that you got from 1.5 fuel. 1.5 you spend 12000MJ to refine to 600,000MJ. 1.6 is 48000MJ to refine to 600,000MJ.That's...

    1.6.4 Liquid Fuel Boiler fuel changes.

    We're both thinking about the same thing right? Those bedrock looking things that appear underneath oil wells that super rarely produce blocks of unmoving oil? How are you getting 8MJ of energy out of one of those. Edit response to Edit: "It should now produce 4x time amount of Oil, resulting...

    1.6.4 Liquid Fuel Boiler fuel changes.

    Its incredibly random but its supposed to be 1/32 chance to spawn a oil block above it every 5 minutes, so basically yah its worthless. Collecting oil from them is a bitch as well, because lets say you got a 50x50 block of them; the pump only collects from the spring its directly above and all...

    According to CJ's twitter he's now changing how boilers heatup. https://twitter.com/CovertJaguar/status/398911950953783296

    What would a 1.6 post-BC power gen world look like ?

    I get tons of that stuff from the Sludge Boilers processing my tree farm Harvesters.

    Thermal Expansion 3.0!!! No More Beta! Thanks KL!

    This is just a past retrospective on TE2 and your not scaling it to the current IC2 costs on TE3 right?

    Saw Mill equivalent in 1.6.x?

    As of 1.5 the Sawmill only gives 4 planks and 1 sawdust sadly, The Lumbermill is your only option.

    1.6.4 Liquid Fuel Boiler fuel changes.

    It should be set to 4.0 by default.

    11 of the High Preasure boiler blocks, can run 5 Industrial Steam engines at full power, a Turbine at about 65%ish. Make a mystcraft world with a permanent sun in the sky and no weather.

    Factorization can make steam from Solar Boilers as well, a fully mirrored Solar Tower is equal to about 11HP boilers.

    What would a 1.6 post-BC power gen world look like ?

    They have Drums which hold 256 buckets at a time, but no tanks. There was a mod that did modular tanks but I can't for the life of me remeber what it was called. I wish Xycraft would be finished but its looking very unlikely it will ever happen anytime even remotely soon, those tanks were awesome.
