    Sustaining a Fusion reactor

    What do you mean 'material injectors'? Edit: Never mind - I'm on ultimate 1.0.1, so I have GT 2.81a and as a result, do not have the newer Fusion reactor setup or components. Where do you get those numbers from? Using GT Industrial Centrifuges, it takes 150 seconds to get a Tritium cell from...

    Sustaining a Fusion reactor

    I was finally able to build a fusion reactor on my SMP server. Even using AE to craft all the parts, it still took a long time to fab all of the parts. I wanted to set it up to be self sustaining, and created a setup based off of some others that I've seen. I used eight Industrial...

    Dust Automation

    I think the Electric Crafting table may be the winner... It's really backed up right now because it's not terribly fast, but I suspect once it catches up, it shouldn't have too much trouble keeping up.

    Thanks, I'll check it out.

    Which one is that? I might be blind bur I don't see it...

    Dust Automation

    I've finally started with some automation using AE, among other things, and while it's not as awesome as other things I've seen posted around, I'm pretty happy with how it's working... The only thing I haven't been able to figure out is how to automate the consolidation of tiny piles of dust...

    Is There A Way To Shut Off The Power Flow To Pipes?

    The gates with the BC pipes are a good idea in theory, but they don't work (fast enough). I ORIGINALLY had a setup of electrical engines feeding into a redstone energy cell via gold conductive pipes, with a gate controlling the engines. I had it set to turn the engines off when the RS cell...

    Free solar panels (and other blocks)

    What he said... The Diamond drill can mine any mineable block, is (at least) as fast as its diamond tool counterpart (Shovel, pick, etc, the exception being wood blocks), and never breaks (just needs to be charged)... why WOULDN'T you use it? The only useful enchant, IMO, would be silk touch...

    Ultimate version/MFR?

    Ahh. That makes sense. Thanks.

    Ultimate version/MFR?

    I've been using Ultimate 1.0.1 for quite some time, and I just noticed that there is apparently up to 1.1.2 out, however, the Ultimate pack page only lists 1.0.1, with 1.0.2 as 'Testing'. When I loaded up 1.1.2 in SP to test, I got a message about two mods being missing, and several GregTech...

    Replacing timers with computers

    I searched around and couldn't find much info, but I gathered that it would be possible to make a computer work as a timer using a 'simple' program, but my programming skills are...... limited.. Would someone happen to have a program handy to do that, and would using computers instead of timers...

    Best MJ generation method?

    Well, I installed the power converter and with the ton of EU I have available, it's doing the job very nicely. Granted, it's not often you need TONS of MJ to run things. Most things are relatively low draw. But in the case of the mining well frame quarry machine, 16 mining wells pulling 25MJ/t...

    Best MJ generation method?

    I think I poked the hornets nest :).. As far as how to generate power, to each their own :). If you wantt o use boilers to make power, that's your choice. I like solars :). I don't think the mod creators should nerf a mod because some deem it too powerful (although some do)... if anything...

    Best MJ generation method?

    I would agree with that... Steam isn't power, but it is a way to MAKE power...

    Best MJ generation method?

    One does not make Ulimate Hybrid Solar panels two days into playing... The boilers would be a 'stepping stone' to higher tiers of power generation. I started with a bunch or Geothermal generators, then moved up to regular solar panels, then made more of them, and woked my way on up through...

    Best MJ generation method?

    Kirin, I've never looked at boilers and such, but the Ultimate Hybrid Solar Panels are SUPER EXPENSIVE to build... took me quite a while and a lot of resources to build the nine that I have. I'm GUESSING, that they are a LOT more expensive to make than the boilers and steam engines, so I'm not...

    Best MJ generation method?

    I was using MindCrack, but switched to Ultimate because the only thing MC had that Ultimate didn't was Traincraft, which I'm not using, and I was interested in AE. Kirin, not really sure what you're saying... on the one hand you're saying it's great at the low end, but it breaks at scale and...

    Best MJ generation method?

    I think the Energy Bridge is the winner. I set up a HV consumer and a BC producer and when it draws 512EU/t, it generate 210MJ/t, so two or three sets should do nicely. I can generate up to 4608 EU/t, so that shouldn't be an issue..

    Best MJ generation method?

    The best converter was the Energy Link in Tekkit. Too bad it's not available in FTB. Edit: Wait... maybe this 'Energy Bridge'?

    Best MJ generation method?

    The Industrial Steam engine is only capable of outputting 8MJ/t. I'm already outputting 10MJ/t with the upgraded electrical engines.... or am I missing something? It's looking like the Electrical engines really are the best way to generate MJ. While the Blulectric engines can generate more MJ...
