    Creative ideas for a house!

    I'm not the most creative builder either but these simple things generally work for me: 1) Don't make walls/ceilings 1 block thick! Make them 3 blocks thick which lets you have columns and raised/recessed areas which are much more visually interesting. A noob-cave is obviously 1 block wide...

    Whats the best power generator?

    No doubt, I full on rush RoC/ReC powergen and I just fired up my first low-pressure turbine after 60 hours of gameplay on our server. I haven't even started on a turbine generator yet. I'm just dumping all that tasty power into bedrock industrial coils that will power batteries of bedrock...

    Whats the best power generator?

    As Pyure said, ReactorCraft is the mack-daddy of powergen in modded MC. A beginer setup in ReC makes 3,000,000RF/t and things just go insane from there. :)

    Mod Feedback [By Request] RotaryCraft Suggestions

    I should add that some low pressure ammonia being left in the liquid pipes feeding the pressurizer and a little bit of ammonia left in the pipes exiting it is fine and reasonable. (Is that the source of the dupe?) But if you run a turbine in a 100% closed loop with 2,000 buckets of ammonia you...

    Mod Feedback [By Request] RotaryCraft Suggestions

    I feel that losing ammonia is out of step with your mods in general. You reward the industrious and punish the lazy which is why we enjoy playing your mods. Yet in this instance you punish the industrious. It is enough work to gather the ammonium chloride and process it into ammonia to...

    1.897GW from a Throttled Gas Turbine!

    So heat exchangers no longer respond to jet wash?

    Low lag liquid pipes?

    I'm partial to fluidducts from Thermal Expansion. I know that mod has been carefully coded to be server friendly. Go for the opaque ones if you want to minimize fps lag. Or you could just slap tesseracts everywhere.

    Ic2 Experimental Uranium Reactor setup with 60k Coolant Cells

    In all honesty, I've not been keeping up with the goings on of GregariusT for a few years now. @Middleclaw hates GT so I've not played with it since we're server mates and it has dropped off my radar. You are probably a lot more up to date and therefore I trust your information. I am in no...

    Ic2 Experimental Uranium Reactor setup with 60k Coolant Cells

    I think it is because Gregarius T has taken over IC2 and is imposing a more Gregtech leaning. Still strange the enet is gone from IC2 though, machines blowing up from over-voltage was certainly a centerpiece of Gregtech.

    The Toast Generator

    Nevermind, I doubled it again using the cobblestone "upgrade" from MFR to make the harvester just hammer that single crop rather than wasting time scanning a 3x3. It now takes 6 redstone furnaces fully upgraded to keep up (2 making bread and 4 making toast) and (84) 64xculinary generators to...

    The Toast Generator

    I decided to see what could be done with this generator with the addition of Agricraft and RotaryCraft... Insanity ensued! It is a little hard to tell just how many 64xculinary generators this can feed because toast enters and exits the storage drawer at such an impressive rate. The number...

    The Toast Generator

    5,000+ RF/t off of toast in a teeny little package, very well done indeed! Thanks for sharing!

    Having issues with spawning mobs

    Sounds strange. Do those three crash reports have any useful tidbits in them?

    Having issues with spawning mobs

    What biome type is the mob spawner in? Not mushroom island right?

    How do YOU Generate Power?

    Yup, an afterburned gas turbine throttled to 25% speed can keep 10 steam boilers at the sweet spot temperature for ammonia. So 12.78GW of power can be wrung from one gas turbine running at 25% which ordinarily would be putting out a scant 33.5MW with the same upgrade/speed.

    1.897GW from a Throttled Gas Turbine!

    Just to round things out, my afterburned 25% gas turbine appears to be 100% ammonia-safe. So 12.78GW instead of 33.5MW or a 380-fold increase in power output. I should rename the thread since it is actually 6.7x as OP as I initially though it was! ;)

    1.897GW from a Throttled Gas Turbine!

    Yup, as I suspected, toss on an afterburner upgrade, add two more heat exchangers (afterburned gas turbines affect five blocks in front of them), and double up on the steam boilers so they don't get too hot and blow and you can push a high-pressure steam turbine. So now instead of 33.554MW (gas...

    How do YOU Generate Power?

    Now that I've pointed it out, I'm sure Reika will nerf it six ways to Tuesday but for the time being I'm going to marvel in its OP'ness. This evening I'm going to see if a gas turbine with an afterburner will keep a high pressure steam turbine going. I'm betting it will...

    1.897GW from a Throttled Gas Turbine!

    Now that I've had my fun and published my uber abusive results, I'm fairly sure that @Reika will want to nerf the hell out of this.

    How do YOU Generate Power?

    I get the most enjoyment from ReactorCraft for over-the-top power generation. I just recently learned that I can keep two low pressure steam turbines going with the waste heat from a gas turbine running at 25% speed. So I'm getting 1.897GW from a bit of lubricant and jet fuel both of which are...
