Np, I tried it out in creative (have it in normal, but didn't feel like building it cause I need wind shards for my wand : /) and that was the issue I was running into, so don't worry, I only mentioned it cause it happened to me too :P This reminded me of the whole trying to create a Twilight...

Yea, for the energy storage I meant for while you're making it, so you have an energy buffer while actually making the thing just in case, as well as so you don't end up removing a generator that's nearly full of lava. Like I said, it's not THAT difficult, and most people will pulverize ferrous...

Ok, now this might sound a bit silly, but are you sure you're not using netherbrick slabs? I know that, from creative at least, the netherbrick double slabs show up first in NEI and they look like normal netherbrick.

Just to be sure, the top center block is open right? The first time I went to make one of those I accidently closed it off so it wouldn't work right :X

The only problem with the Thermal Generator is it requires invar and hardened glass. Not entirely too bad, but not something you'll generally be able to produce right off the bat., so you'll at least want some energy storage before using a geothermal to upgrade into a thermal.

Well this thread started a good while back. That said, I'd still agree with the torches thing, not necessarily because of how easy they are to get, but because they give 1 lux and that's it. It makes it easier to not get extra flux when the item has a single aspect.

The whole point was him asking why no one said making lava from his highly ineffective setup was OP, me pointing out the numbers of why such a setup is FAR from OP, and then him saying he'll just change the numbers to make it OP. That's what effectively started this part of the convo, him...

Did you miss where Hoff said: and I would think, you know, that means that he doesn't even care about what the mod devs think about about their own mod's balance. Now, I don't know what you would make of those statements, but all I can get from them is he's saying screw what the mod...

There's a distinct difference between getting stuff easily and getting it practically for free as you're putting forward. When you're effectively saying screw what the mod author thinks about any semblance of balance and set up your configs so the stuff you use has no effective use limit you...

I know, it just seems like he didn't want to go about it the roundabout way and just wanted a direct conversion, looking at his reply of looking for a power converter mod. If you've read some of my other posts in other threads you'd probably notice I try to work towards the most efficient...

All I'm getting from your ranting is that you want to get stuff easily and screw what the authors think about how the mod should be balanced. At that point, why not just play in creative since that's what it seems like you want to do.

There are diesel generators in gregtech, plus the petroleum generator in the mindcrack pack.

They made lava useless in boilers because even the mod devs thought it was op being able to use a product to produce itself with that much ease. Even for equivalent exchange the mod author thought most of the stuff in EE2 were too OP and thus removed them. As for the automation, even if you...

Well, until then I'll have it with me, and when I need one I'll just make the electric wrench, though by that time I probably won't need one unless we have to restart our worlds.

The whole point of a free energy feedback loop would be to make it automated, otherwise what would be the point when you could just drop some hybrid solars and be done with it? Sure, you can feed netherrack into the system, but that requires some input on your part, either manual or via a...

So make infinite lava at a massive energy loss? Yea, that's very op. Let's see, we'll go with the base electric engine, so 6eu/t for 2 mj/t, you need 20k mj per cobble to turn it into lava, and at a max of 20 mj/t for full speed, that means 10 engines burning 60 eu/t for 20 mj/t. The 20k MJ...

If it were a Catch-22 that would imply you had no other possible way of generating energy. What you're thinking of is called a False dilemma. There are several ways to produce energy, you just really need to either find a way to store a lot more of it, produce more of it, and/or use less of...

They're researched from the ancient tablet things, you put nine in a grid and it gives you notes, then you research it in your table. If it breaks I believe it means there are no more recipes you can learn with them. The crystal clusters apparently restore the aura at a rate of 1 per 5...

Btw, in my testing, the prototype omni-wrench is the same as an electric wrench when removing IC2 machines, and it has no durability. That's only from my experiments though, so I can't say I'm 100% certain, just 99% sure considering I wrenched about 100 machines in creative. Sure, it costs 2...

Leather from cows also gives you Tutamen, and if you're using Mystcraft you should probably have a cow farm anyway considering books now use leather ><
