not necessarily cheap - but super fun and cool looking fill liqueducts with lava.

hah, math pwned. thanks for the correction Yeah, my last calc class was 4 years ago and I wrote this at 3 in the morning after being angered at folks doing the whole "look at my infinite energy" dance. both examples would give a countable set of numbers (single source of power and a source of...

<rant> Energy is the amount of work an object can do - period. In minecraft, energy is represented by MJ, EU, Bluelectric Charge and Factorization charge. Power is the amount of work an object can do over time. In minecraft, power is represented by MJ/t, EU/t, and Watts. Infinite energy is...

8 minium shards around an inert stone (made of stone and iron and gold) makes a minium stone. A minium stone unlocks hundreds of crafting recipes. It can be used 1500 times before it breaks. 1 recipe is 4 iron + minium stone (durability x) unshaped crafting = ender pearl + minium stone...

first off - turtle with a crescent hammer can crank a quartz grindstone for you - save power on early game ore processings (tends to bug out, and is slower than pulverization but 0 fuel) blulectric furnace does wonders for early game smelting. now you are saving fuel on processing and...

very nice.

cool - how much EU is consumed in making those ice cells, and do they use the tin from the ice cell?

How does this help with lava energy production?

lava fabricator takes 20,000 MJ in order to make 1 bucket of lava. to be honest, the best way to get lava power is to pump it out of the nether. The second best way is to melt netherrack in a crucible. Everything else is too expensive. also, power converters are always lossy - they are meant...

hehe... me neither, it seems lazy to be honest though what do I know about being lazy - i'm using the MFR bioreactor to make easy fast biofuel lol

http://feed-the-beast.wikia.com/wiki/Magmatic_Engine "When the engine is producing 4 MJ/t, one lava cell or bucket will produce 18,000 MJ, a Thermal Generator, will make 30,000 EU per bucket." 2.5:1 conversion ratio is 12,000 MJ from 30,000 EU - worse it's 10,000 MJ with 3:1 by converting...

IC2 cables lose power per packet over a certain number of blocks. for copper cable power loss is 1 every 5. for tin it is 1 every 40. Tin has a max packet size of 1 and so a batbox outputting to tin cable will fry the cable. Tin can still go INTO a batbox, but batbox out has to be at least...

scrap + ic2 fertilizer = more ic2 fertilizer. ic2 fertilizer goes in MFR fertilizer machine to instagrow crops like bonemeal cannot think of an easier way than that system + mfr harvester and planter - maybe if you took the time to breed IC2 crops to something like 20 growth and gain. Then...

thanks - good to know :D

so powercrystals, since your attention is grabbed - do you know the MJ/T output of the biofuel generator in 1.4? If it's high enough i might use them anyway for the fun of it :D

Did this block recieve a nerf in a more recent update? It is hard to find information about it from google. Best I've got is http://ftbwiki.org/BioFuel_Generator however the 150,000/bucket stat is wrong. Testing shows less than 1500/bucket as it guzzles fuel away. for the record, the...

try using railcraft loaders and unloaders with a chest cart on a single track. It will be hellovalot more expensive, but they will run the water mills

so much hate for gregtech... if you don't like it, turn it off. (Goes back to making steel out of EU and building quarries with titanium)

of course you could always create arrays of your circular arrays by putting HV transformers in the middle and running centralized medium voltage cable to another transformer to an engine. Just have to wait for the high voltage cable to create another layer of arrays

I like to think of the three power systems (IC2 energy units,BC MinecraftJoules,RedPower 2 Bluelectricity) as follows EU - Energy is created as solid packages of EU and then piped to where it needs to go. If the package is too big for the pipe then bad things happen, however the packages are...
