    What power gen way is your way?

    I rushed RoC/ReC this world but yes mid game; firmly mid game. My AE system is still 8 channels in a little hidey hole down the hall from the turbine building. But my mining, ore proc, and power are set up separately. I still need to stitch them together with AE2 and then build a proper base...

    So what's going on with Big Reactors?

    Barely and that takes an extra 72 fuel rods and an extra 72 control rods as opposed to 4 buckets of gelid cryotheum (because flowing counts the same as source and my design only needs 4 buckets on purpose)! To me not worth it for an extra 800RF/mB since my larger reactor is much more efficient...

    Can't craft TiC arrows?

    There are actually only a couple of valid arrow shaft materials. Stick, bone, cactus, and maybe one other (tool rods that is). I always use bone; it is the heaviest which means extra damage. And you are correct that tool rods are what you need as arrow shafts.

    What power gen way is your way?

    Right now I'm still pretty firmly mid-game on my small server and I'm running a High Temperature Gas Reactor in the nether from ReactorCraft. It is making hot CO2 gas by the drum that I haul back to my 5-stage ammonia turbine which cranks out around 1.95GW (3,931,688RF/t). This feeds into two...

    So what's going on with Big Reactors?

    Sadly building a highly fuel efficiency Big Reactor is easy; too easy. This is my first passively cooled BR and it more fuel efficient than a great many designs you see on the forums which are significantly more complex. Later I upgrade to the second because I like to maximize for fuel...

    ReactorCraft - clever reactor setups?

    Thanks, I've edited the previously unclear wiki page for the electrolyzer to reflect this. The description in the ReC book is what was throwing me off since it specifically mentions water as an input rather than heavy water.

    ReactorCraft - clever reactor setups?

    Speaking of the pulse jet furnace how does one even make oxygen? I have not yet figured out how to get water into the electrolyzer. I read that the electrolyzer needs to be powered by a van de graff generator but no matter which pipe/side I try, cannot get a single mB of water into the...

    [AE] Using Dense Cables

    Not with RotaryCraft in the pack! Once you can get 51 pure quartz crystals from a single ore its all good.

    [AE] Using Dense Cables

    This would only be true if the OP didn't use a subnetwork though. A 3-level-deep subnetwork could connect 343 barrels up to a single channel. Granted you would craft and power 49 ME interfaces and an extra storage bus for each but you can avoid dense cables if you wish.

    ReactorCraft - clever reactor setups?

    The rabbit hole deepens. I have been checking my steam lines and they do build up around 100 cubic meters of steam while the boiler is generating at full tilt. I did the simple controlled experiment I described above: 256 buckets in a drum feeding the boiler, empty drum downstream of the...

    [AE] Using Dense Cables

    EDIT: Link to Imgur album showing what I describe below To answer your original question each cable needs to be dense since 16 storage buses require 16 data channels and fluix cable can only handle 8. As others have said there are several ways to work around this since long runs of dense cable...

    What do to with lots of RF? (FTB infinity)

    Kill a few thousand a day with a Reaper V sword you will be drowning in them! Or let an AA do it for you! To get my first I safari net one and stuff it in an MFR autospawner. Eventually you'll get a soul and then its on!

    ReactorCraft - clever reactor setups?

    Okay, I'm glad that it isn't happening because of a design decision on your part. Rather than a loop I'm going to run one cycle with a barrel of ammonia to feed the boiler and a second barrel to catch the ammonia leaving the pressurizer and see if all 256 buckets show up. I need to play more...

    What do to with lots of RF? (FTB infinity)

    My favorite method of this is a tier 2 stabilized wither skellie spawner from DE (because tier 3 is totally nuts). Let them fall into water/conveyor belts and get dropped in front of an AA using a wyvern sword with Looting V. A vacuum hopper takes care of xp orbs and drops and feeds an ME...

    ReactorCraft - clever reactor setups?

    Okay, I've read through Reika's change logs and can't find anything on this so I'll ask here. I have an LP turbine setup and I'm running ammonia through it in an absolutely closed loop. I made two drums of ammonia and I run a drum of hot CO2 gas at a time since my production of that doesn't...

    QED automation with Applied Energistics 2

    I have tried everything in infinity and to the best of my knowledge this is impossible. RWTema coded it to be impossible to automate and I think he succeeded. I've tried EnderIO, XU (because why not right?), TE4, SFM, CC, Open Peripherals, AE2, and even Routers Reborn; no dice.

    [ReactorCraft] Thorium Fuel Pellets?

    I am still in the process of chunk loading and stitching everything together since I'm doing everything on my survival server but I am getting a nice stream of hot CO2 from 7 pebble bed fuel cores surrounding a single CO2 heat exchanger all parked in the nether (don't bother trying a boiler...

    [ReactorCraft] Thorium Fuel Pellets?

    I've bumped into that last section twice in fact. Now that you mention it, of course it makes perfect sense that that is the cause. I'll replace that section and update this thread but I bet that fixes it outright. Many thanks! EDIT: Thanks again RavynousHunter! That was in fact the...

    [ReactorCraft] Thorium Fuel Pellets?

    Okay, I'm probably still doing something wrong but can't work out what. I'm producing a steady stream of steam now using my edited single layer design shown above. Steam is being generated by 6 steam boilers surrounding a heat exchanger all of which are hovering around 700C and a pump powered...
