    Yet another Rotary canundrum: Magnetostatic engine

    Well with 8MW, ie: 4 microturbines, at 512Nm I get 16 rad/sec. What I'm doing is 3-stage timing instead of the usual 2, so at stage 4 I take it down to 256Nm, so I get more speed and Stage 4 is dealt with nearly instantly. The only stage stage that still takes an eternity compared to the other...

    :eek: Care shedding some light on the timings then? I clearly got something not right then! Stage 1 is the slower. 2, 3 and 4 blitz through

    Yet another Rotary canundrum: Magnetostatic engine

    I kind of cracked it! Temporarily at least! 4 microturbines, which are fairly fuel efficient, 2 CVTs, and a 3-stage timer using a computer. at 8MW, it's processing ores pretty darn quick, and considering that the laser drill is taking 15 seconds to pull up one ore, I think we're in business :D...

    Well I just managed to make myself an auroral crystal. Let's see what adventures it takes me to!

    I do have a CVT switching gears, but I can't seem to strike a balance with the power I have.

    Yeah microturbines are very sensible with fuel consumption. Just trying to find the right amount of turbines needed to run an extractor at an acceptable speed where a MFR mining laser doesn't get too backed up. So far tried with 3 turbines, and it's still way too slow. I'll see how 4 fare.

    Not trying to skip them, as I have both :) It's the sheer amount of fuel needed that's putting me off - but I'll try!

    This jetfuel mass production is sounding more trouble than it's really worth. Looking into Electricraft right now, maybe I'll figure something out in that direction. Thanks everyone for your very detailed answers!

    Yet another Rotary canundrum: Magnetostatic engine

    Currently running Infinity with Rotary, Electricraft and Galacticraft added for some additional flavour. Got a sludge boiler running full time, although not making as much nether rack and soulsand to make it sustainable. Got a spawner with a slime in it too. Cursed earth spawner ongoing for...

    Doesn't even tell you what upgrades do what Tiers. Had to google everything.

    My complaint is about the ridiculous amount of RF it needs to work. The rest of it, I had it figure out nicely.

    Yuh. Time to start on Electricraft then!

    Yet another Rotary canundrum: Magnetostatic engine

    Well I wasn't looking at magnetostats as a way to "cheat" progression. I worked my way up in the tiers, and I do have a properly fueled gas turbine going; I just think it's a bit expensive to keep running around the clock. Having a BigReactor producing a spare 8k RF, I thought it was a good...

    Holy moly! Talk about an in-depth reply! Yes I do have Electricraft but I have never ever touched that mod yet. It's the first time I included it on a map. I'll have a look into your post when I'm comfy at home, and see what I can come up with!

    So how would you approach powering an extractor, without needing stupid amounts of jet fuel? The MFR laser only produces 1 ore every few seconds, so I can afford having an extractor running a bit slower.

    Yet another Rotary canundrum: Magnetostatic engine

    I'm sorry to keep on piling RoC questions daily in here, but if I didn't love Rotarycraft so much, I'd probably have flipped the table days ago and given up. I solve 1 problem and another 2 pop up. So I have a lovely BigReactors turbine, producing a stable 28,000RF/t. 20k of which are...

    RotaryCraft: Aluminium powder

    Removed AOBD, and everything works fine now. Redstone processed and got my aluminium powder :D Thanks!

    RotaryCraft: Aluminium powder

    Hmmmm there's an AOBD update dated 11th Sep 2015. Changelog: -Fix issue with Factorization's Dark Iron and RotaryCraft. -Fix issue due to Magneticraft's API change. Maybe I should try that.

    RotaryCraft: Aluminium powder

    Nuh, power is not the issue here. Got 2 gas turbines strapped to it ... can process stack ores in a couple of seconds. As for AOBD, this is my config: http://pastebin.com/KX55wq7R What does AOBD do anyways? Is it a must-have? Can I remove the thing on an already active map, or will it break...

    it actually IS disabled with AOBD. With Rotarycraft set to true, client and server wouldn't start due to an error.
