I've had a fermenter that was running on water support 4 stills with some biomass to spare. That same fermenter couldn't support two refineries, and the refineries produced less biofuel overall. With those four stills, I was able to keep two liquid boilers filled with biofuel (after they heated...

You can store it in railcraft tanks for sure, haven't tested buildcraft. Buildcraft tanks hold a mere 16 buckets of liquid last I checked. For storing it, it's rather pointless as unless you're using liquiducts you can't pipe enough steam out of the tanks without a lot of excess infrastructure...

You start by punching a tree. Now to be serious, for thaumcraft you'll definitely want to get some scribing tools so you can make a research table. Researching items via the table saves you from polluting the aura while doing research (the other method is via cauldron and can cause a ton...

The middle block on the bottom stores the information on what's inside the tank. As long as you don't break that block you can remodel the tank however you want.

Another possible alternative would be the Energy Cells. You could charge them at your main station, pick them up, and plop em down next to the quarry. The MJ output is adjustable up to 125 MJ/t, same with the input. Here's to hoping for Energy Cell power carts in the future though, much like the...

Undoubtedly the start up is expensive which is why you'll want to use HP boilers for permanent systems and LP boilers for temporary systems. That said, the system produces more than enough power to keep itself and another boiler constantly supplied with biofuel from fermenters and stills, as...

Exactly, and with two turbines per recipe it still comes out to just over 4 billion eu worth of iron that has been macerated and converted to steel for 590,400,000 eu when using Gregtech. As for the heat up cost for a HP boiler, it takes somewhere between 200-300k mb of fuel to get it heated up...

Regarding the 300%, the way he handles the increase in output forces it to be a maybe, since most parts of the process give you 150% of the input. Because minecraft doesn't give you 50% of an item, for each item handled you will either get double the input or exactly the input. So for each...

Ah true, forgot about the 3 discs thing when I was looking at the wiki. Also, Factorization's tripling of ore is not efficient at all and isn't even guaranteed to actually triple it, sometimes giving more and possibly giving less (tested a full stack of ore, took about 5 crystallizers and...

Yes, but then the upkeep cuts into your ore profit, and the iron ore can be used for other things such as tracks, carts, iron tanks, or even golems. In the end though, these methods of converting MJ to EU are still inferior to the Advanced Hybrid Solar Panels that produce 512 eu/t during the day...

So...liquid...minecarts? Actually, liquid metals don't sound all that bad, just a bit unrealistic without keeping it all stupidly hot.

Great, now I'm half expecting someone to make a machine that liquefies ham... Edit: As for not very practical with transport, don't worry, I'm planning on doing something similar but rather than 3 chunks across I'm going a similar distance vertically. Gonna stack about 10 levitators on top...

As for the liquid boilers, in my test world I'm using a single fermenter running on water to feed 4 stills with biomass, those 4 stills can supply two heated liquid boilers with some to spare. Another note, that single fermenter actually produces more biomass than needed by those 4 stills. So...

While I haven't yet played with the liquiducts directly, I do plan on it once the ultimate pack comes out. I don't wanna fool around with it all too much yet since some bugs are getting worked out, but, aside from the need of the redstone signal, I love the idea of them as liquid flow was always...

I don't see how you're getting 533k MJ from a single bucket of biofuel. Going by the wiki numbers without the plugin (value of 16000) it comes out to me as just above 290k, but with it doubled it's just above 580k. In fact, I'll bring those calculations from the thread I linked earlier (that I...

I had this same question earlier and after reading the wiki the only answer I can give you is it varies. According to the wiki the viscosity of the liquid is factored into how quickly the liquid flows. Going by that, steam should flow quickly, water should flow "normally" (as it's generally...

Another thing to report, after heating up my second boiler...I forgot that one boiler can only give sufficient power to 4.5 Magma Crucibles (HP boiler with 18 engines). However, even with 18 crucibles they still run at about 90% efficiency or so and that single cobble gen is still more than...

I was doing the number crunching in another thread here and yea, the cost to maintain the steam turbine rotors far exceed their value even at the best returns when combined with Gregtech. As mentioned in that thread, with Gregtech it takes 660 million EU worth of UU Matter to resupply the iron...

With Redpower if the bugs are in Core, which RP World has to have, then she can't release just the world gen. This leads most people to believe the bugs aren't in some of the other parts of the mod but in the core part, which all the other parts require.
