For me its always been a very hard choice to go up in tech tier but go down in efficiency when in reality it is usually the other way around (IRL and in terms of progression). Thankfully for energy it gets better once you get above the HV tier. Before they increased the efficiency of generators...

For you efficiency freaks using LV-HV turbines in the early electric age: Extended my calculations for transformation efficiencies and drew some conclusions that might be interesting for a few of us. This considers both efficiency of generators, transmission losses and minimum cable losses...

Gregtech iridium reflectors are indestructable, never have to be changed however are a bit pricy. Well worth to do it though as it vastly improves the efficiency of the reactor. Especially if you are using 5x5x5 reactors

If i remember correctly the gas turbine actually rounds off the optimum flow. I dont remember if it is always up or down or regular roundoff rules but the optimum for you should be either 4 or 5 (likely) mb/t of LPG. you should be able to handle this with an IC2 fluid regulator. They can...

Looks very similar to this one which is the best one of its kind if i remember correctly (cost wise) However it is a shame you arent using some of the iridium reflector designs :) http://prnt.sc/849249 If you are looking for good nuclear design take a look at this forum thread in IC2 forum i...

Anyone know a lot and/or has implemented solid super fuel production? Ive looked into it a bit and by the looks of it it seems extremly interesting. I think it might be a nice route to go for when going from an oil based energy system to a solid fuel based system when you go beyond HV tier. So...

A neat little trick i found for early game fuel production using thaumcraft. Usually i have been using cobblestone as a source of perditio for alumentum but today i found that if you macerate any wood log into 6 wood pulp you can then turn those wood pulp into 54 tiny piles of wood pulp with 1...

Did a creative LV setup of the steam to methane power route for my current single player world. Skipping a few steps due to lack of game time. Its a fairly big setup but should be fairly easy to make in steps. http://prntscr.com/ctfjlz You should be able to start building the steam part in the...

Just make the power consumtion exceptionally high? Although i do think one should promote the GT miner rather than the ender quarry

Did some interesting calculations for an even more advanced version of the oil refinery where you skip nitro diesel and instead produce only gaseous fuels (methanol, LPG and naphta (some toluene and lubricant)). Basically you crack light fuel into gaseous fuels instead of turning it into nitro...

How long untill 3.2.13? im afraid i have already downloaded the broken one :(

When i was updating my calculation sheet i noticed some differences between NEI and the recepies config file. Which one is accurate? For instance naphta is 256 eu per mb but according to the recepies config it is 128. So the question is what should i trust, NEI or config file. I assume the later...

From the GT 5 U changelog Rised EU output of Hot Coolant 4x So this is obviously a really large boost to fluid nuclear reactors but how does it work exactly? Does it mean that you now only require 1000 hot coolant per second in a heat exchanger to produce superheated steam? I hope to do some...

Does this mean the machines actually check what fuel they use or? Crackpot theories of how polution works The way i think about it in my head right now is that the polution that is produced is based on the burnrate of the reactor. So lets say we have a basic boiler that consumes 10 burnvalue...

Is there any way to find out how polution works exactly? Like how much does the different machines produce, how much is reduced by different mufflers etc? I havent come accross so much information than this "Fuel burners and muffler hatches produce 10-100 pollution per second. Every chunks...

As long as your generator can only send out a maximum of one amp/t of power it would not be a problem. However it would be a bad idea to do this with say a 4x battery buffer. However the only thing you would need to do to fix it would be to use x4 tin cables and it would also work.

Okay so basically everything runs in the lowest speed in the LV tier. That is actually really helpfull cause that means you should be able to run several macerators off 1 generator in LV. However that brings the question, what happens when i feed a higher tier machine with LV for a recepie that...

Thanks to this you can do a lot of sneaky stuff to save power if you want. For instance you can run 4 universal macerators (HV) on 1 LV turbine by transforming it down to ULV and still get byproducts, ofc it will be really slow but much more power efficient. Also I like to do it when you have a...

Its been a while but as i remembered i calculated it from the steam machines as they use the same recepies however use 2x the eu cost in steam instead. Then i did some experiments with the low voltage machines and tested how much energy they consumed and the time for each cycle and noticed it...

Ive tried them exerimentally but also indirectly by calculation and from that i found the basic recepy requires 2 eu per tick and each operation is 20 second for a total of 800 eu per operation without losses. In practice if i remember correctly it adds to something like 900 eu in total with LV...
