You wont pump lava fast enough with a BC pump. And what's 'obscenely op' in running back and forth every 20 minutes to swap orbs? Unless youre gonna make a hundred and somehow fit them in 36 slot inventory. I agree that hot coolant is harder to get than lava, but man, a nuclear reactor is...

Other thing to try is Tranvector Interface on the multiblock. About pollution - isn't this a thing Grrg planned since GT4 but never implemented? The concept itself is great, as it probably the only way to prevent spamming of low-tech gens. But what penalties are you thinking off? Efficiency...

You mean put the cover on the back of a controller and use, say, redstone conduits to carry the signal to the transmitter? That's insane, but it's worth a try, knowing how flexible gt multiblocks are. The question is will the multiblock form at all?

Q With my wood analogy I wanted to show that it's stupid to think that some power sources should not be usable later in the game. It can't be done, you can always just make MORE boilers, more generators. For me the more variety you have, the better. It' all about balance. I'm fine with...

It has to be controller, which means you cant use it on turbines (they cannot have adjacent tile entities which you could place redstone transmitter on).

@Pyure About maintenance, I'd like to share my design as we have a lot more multiblocks now than we had in normal GT. I'm using a row of different coloured lamps, each one connected to its multiblock with redstone covers. Needs maintenance cover sends signal to the lamp when theres a problem...

Lava LHE is a lot more reasonable than Naquadah reactors. For lava power you need a serious amuont of machines and infrastructure, for naquadah you just find a vein, build a 1-block reactor which isn't even expensive and there you go, all power you need for weeks. But I forgot, YOU are using...

Well as I undetstand it it transfers heat from lava into water. It outputs pahoehoe lava wchich is cooler than normal lava. Sounds reasonable, even if its impossible in real life. But we dont have (working) fusion reactors in real life as we have im GT. So youre saying we should disable them...

Ender-thermic pump over a large lava pool. You have to move it of course, but only once a week I'd say. To transport it I use dim. transceiver and I store lava in a quantum tank wchich serves as a buffer. Making the LHE consume less lava and produce adequatly less steam is a very good idea...

Well, the amount of power you get out of it is kinda offset by the fact that turbines (items) dont really last that long and cannot be repaired. So I'd say introduce repair mechanic and nerf the lava LHE, or leave it as it is (maybe nerf a bit, like 10-15% :p).

I would like to recommend using lava for LHE, because its producing crazy amounts of SHS. I currently have 3 large hp turbines with large iridium turbines (finally a use for this useless iridium). Using ic2 fluid regulators im feeding each turbine 1000mb/t (a bit more than 900mb/t optimal flow)...

Isn't it easier to just code the recipe (and all required steps) of turbine casing in AE or LP? That's what I did and I just click a button to craft them :). Blue steel is actually quite cheap, it's only annoying to craft, so autocrafting it is the most sensible option. If you're that far into...

Yeah I had 25+ stat crops on Infitech2 test server. It takes AGES to get there, so yeah, a small disclaimer for those interested - make sure you have a lot of patience :)

How much hot coolant per second is that? Because at maximum 8000L per second you will get about 6k eu/t I'd say (rough calculation in my head so I may be wrong)

Mutatron is your only option, it doesn't care about "block x under apiary" requirement.

Well I just tried it (version .26) and the second hatch outputs normal steam or nothing at all.

But right now the turbine doesn't output water at all right?

I'm not sure I understand. So in the next version you will only insert an initial amount of distilled water and it will be looped around? Or what? Also I took a closer look at it (in SMP) and it seems like the LHE (yep) is taking the water slowly at the beginning, but more and more quickly over...

Ok guys I'm in a pickle (look at my avator for confirmation). I tested Distillation Tower -> Large Heat Exchanger in both SP and SMP. In SP the tower seems to be producing enough distilled water to fuel the exchanger. However, on the server, even though I made 2 auxiliary LV distilleries, I...

Nice one Pyure. Also yesterday I learned the hard way that 1 Distillation Tower is NOT enough to supply a Large Heat Exchanger with distilled water.. That's pretty sad, i will need to add small, petty machines to my clean, big row of D.Tower->Heat Exchanger->3 HP Turbines. Large Heat Exchanger...
