Just ran some more calculations related to turbine rotors and wow... If you're using Gregtech and its matter fabricator you're looking at a lot of wasted EU to repair the turbines constantly, and even then you'd use more steel on turbines than you could get from making iron from UUM (5 UUM for 2...

It takes 20k MJ worth of power to turn cobble into a bucket worth of lava (1000mb). That bucket of lava would only produce 18k MJ if burned in a Magmatic Engine and isn't that effective for fueling liquid boilers (but can be used to heat them up first). However, a Geothermal Generator produces...

If you create nodes closer enough to each other they move towards each other until they fuse. Appparently if you make one bigger than the dark node and fuse it it should come out the victor in the fusion. The problem with this though is that the simple process of fusing nodes can create a...

Electric engines are from a different mod from the steam engines and boilers. That said, the electric engines aren't that efficient anyway and you really shouldn't be trying to convert one power into another and then back to begin with.

For the moistener can you get it to run without any output or does it require you to have an output such as mossy cobble or mycelium?

Biomass/Biofuel and Steam Boilers/Bio Generators/Turbines. If you can make a Biomass facility that constantly stays stocked you can convert it into EU or MJ. If you proceed to turn the biomass into biofuel, you can use the fuel to power a liquid boiler that will produce steam for steam engines...

Going by that, you could effectively say that the whole game is effective pointless. Considering that minecraft is sandbox game where you just go around killing, building, and digging, I would say aesthetics would play a pretty big part of the game. Also, bats have no use? They give a nice...

True, I could do that, but it kinda screws with the whole compact side of the build : / Hopefully with RP's liquid pipes once it comes out I'll be able to pump the biomasss fast enough without having to increase the amount of piping.

I've actually done tests like this myself and as long as you can keep enough materials to keep a Fermenter constantly running you can produce more than enough biofuel to run a liquid boiler with excess biofuel. Heck, just a single water fueled fermenter with a constant supply of mulch and...

The very first Mystcraft Age I made (back in 1.2.5) had dense ores. This was only back when I was testing it out and I couldn't get it to play nice with my other mods though : /

The point of the trees isn't to add more vis to the aura, but rather to create new aura nodes, so the whole them not being able to grow if they can't form a node change is a pretty big improvement. One method you could use, if you found enough saplings, would be to plant trees just barely close...

Well yea, just pointing out you'd still end up in the nether to do it~

I've been doing some messing around with the liquid fireboxes myself, and as long as you can keep a steady supply of materials to create biomass and biofuel the HP boilers can pretty much power the whole system and then some. That said, I would heat up the boiler to around 500C using biofuel...

Except you need to go to the nether for the netherrack so you're still going to the nether for lava, just in a different form.

Pretty much. It's always better to have a surplus and keep your whole system constantly running rather than dealing with self-made bottlenecks because you don't wanna use a few extra resources. Once the ultimate pack or w/e it will be called is out I plan on eventually making tanks for every...

If you get a mystcraft gate going all you should need would be a chunk loader at the pumping site and at the offloading site since the cart would only be traveling to areas with chunk loaders already in them.

I would have mentioned that one as well, but considering the difficulty in getting the crystals (outside of massive amounts of luck or cheating in all the world symbols) and setting up the portal would probably be a fairly large task to accomplish considering what he wants to do, though getting...

There are a few methods some people use. One is just the very long liquid pipe, but in this case it would probably have problems with chunk loading. The other is using liquid transposers and ender chests. What this does is fill any empty bucket with oil, sticks it into and ender chest, takes it...

If you have that much extra tin just craft the buckets using it, win/win!

The accumulaters make the water out of thin air, the water blocks around them only speed up the process. Basically, with the accumulaters set up properly you don't even need a water storage tank.
