I've had accidents.... major ones, The sound of rain brings a feeling of dread deep into the core of my being. However i am way to lazy to build wall as i tend to focus 100 % on the energy systems im building and nothing on building the base around it :). This is actually a lot cleaner than how...

My oil distillation process is finally done :) Pipes everywhere :) http://prntscr.com/ajectf As it was quite difficult maybe ile add a picture guide on how to make it in the google docs document

Wops, saw that the refined liquid fuels have 1/4 the fuel value in the tungstensteel boiler, guess thats not an option after all for burning nitro diesel after all:p Also i saw you can make wood into heavy oil in the pyrolyze oven. 16 logs is 200 heavy for a total of 61440 so the net energy...

*phew* The new oil distillation tower is very complex when you try to maximize the production. Takes some time to stabalize the different subsystems during which they need additonal power which i have supplied with nitro diesel. Now i just need to add the cracking unit and second distilation...

This would also allow you to use your old fuel systems to go into the higher voltage tiers. So the oil and charcoal systems you make doesnt become outdated as you move past HV tier. The problem has always been that the storage of steam is very problematic. But if you can run the steam directly...

All this talk makes me want to look into the gregtech boilers. Would be interesting to use a Titansteel boiler to burn upp leftover fluid and solid fuels. It seems to have gotten quite a revamp with the new version and is as efficient as the old boiler and produces about 39900 steam per second...

If i understand it correctly a 1 boiler block railcraft LP boiler should consume 0.675 heating units/t and produce 10 steam per tick. That means it should produce 10/0.675*1600=23703 steam at max temperature over 118.5 seconds with one piece of charcoal. These numbers are not very good compared...

Can you redstone controle small coal boilers based on the level of a drum? Need to figure out a good way to produce a small amount of steam for the cracker. However with regular oil the consumtion is only 1.5 mb/t so i would effectively void 3/4 of the steam and have to refill 4 times as often...

What can i use that has the same functionality as the old one? Maybe the pneumaticraft gas lift would work for emptying out large BC oil wells in an ocean biome. It could probably run on one of the byproducts of the distilation process. Would have to add a primative redstone controle function on...

Jason Since you've added my google document it to the front page: Do you want me to add something more? Doesn't necesarily have to relate to the current ones in it. Plenty of other energy systems in low and high tech i could simulate as well For some strange reason i find stuff like this funny :)

Steam/hydrogen calculations are now done. Both cases increases the total amount you get but steam case is about 1% higher than running with hydrogen. However with hydrogen you could potentially optimize the production of some other byproducts. However nitro fuel would most likely be lower I...

Which process did you see this in, will doubble check those numbers today. Fixing steam/hydrogen right now

On another note, circuits just got a whole lot more expensive to create. Stuck back on MV tier again untill i fix some fuel refining. Nice to have some more use for sulfur dust thought :) Think i need to go through all my stuff and see if it still works. Is it worthwhile to quest through the...

Are the numbers the same for heavy fuel? Going to look into it tomorrow, gonna check tomorrow if steam or hydrogen produces the most net energy. If you want to decrease the energy output you could just decrease oil to 75/37,5 per operation and double heavy fuel. However now its time for bed :)...

Thanksfully that was not an error that made any difference in the numbers. The output per time is the same regardless of GT oil or BC oil. It just consumes less oil when using BC oil. The oil/raw oil has a lot more output than the other two thought, almost twice for the same setup. Ohh, the...

Be a bit more specific, what values?. You either overclock the recepie or build another distilation tower, both works (overklocking increases the total power use to refine by about 40-50% depending on fuel). However for the system to be in balance you would also need to increase the hydrogen...

They are in a different worksheet: http://prntscr.com/ahqkz4 It is also described there, first a compressor to get compressed air cell, decann to get gasous air, distillery to make it into nitrogen gas. Bottle the nitrogen and send it into a chemical reactor with water and carbon dust to...

You read the doc like this: http://prntscr.com/ahpry4 From here you can see what machines are required for the complete setup and what is input for each machine. Moreover the uptime tells you how much of the time the specific machines will be working. This is usefull if you want to scale things...

Thanks :)

Phew, this took almost all day. Maybe i should actually play something soon instead of just calculating stuff :p Updated the Fuel refining focument now so that it takes nitro fuel processing into cost as well as added natural gas and ic2 biogas as a fuel type as well. I was thinking of adding...
