    +1, thats how i did it. By far the easiest way

    If you are supplying GT machines with insufficient power/steam they will still try and perform the recepie but will stop on the way and resett the timer and give of a sound as well as show an error message in the interface. Bronze age machins need two things to work, a steam input and a steam...

    automation is only necessary if you are gonna produce diamonds continously which is not the case here i think. It's a nice early game solution if you can't find a diamond vein but i don't think its worth the effort putting up an automated system to make it unless you are gonna rely completly on...

    Im guessing he wants you to smelt coal ore into coal, crush them into dust with steam hammer, then combine 64 coal dust with 8 flint to make compressed coal ball in the compressor and then combine with obsidian to make coal chunk that can be made into an industrial diamond. Only problem is that...

    From what ive seen it consumes steam/hydrogen at a 1:1 ratio with the heavy fuel. So a maximum of 128 mb of steam/hydrogen per second (1s per operation). Baseline it produces 50% more than the heavy fuel so it actually produces 128*1.5= 192 mb of cracked heavy fuel. With hydrogen its an...

    Considering 9 of em makes a solid 1x1x1 m block of metal or that you can melt them into 144 liters of liquid metal i would say they are probably pretty large but lets not get into realistic amounts in minecraft (solids to gases ratios *mumble* *mumble*). Also i think its an easy mistake to do so...

    Im firmly in IV tier and have a thamium capped crafting sceptre and infusion craftin etc so techwise there should be no limitation for me. Can you feed water directly into a alchemical construct to get the aqua essentia? Then i just need to smelt cobble into stone to get 2x terra from each...

    This actually got me a bit inspired into building :) Ive always feelt i like the look of large industrial brick buildings, any good sugestion for how to make huge amounts of clay/bricks? My first thought would be duplication with thaumcraft but what do i use as a essentia source for aqua?

    My building style is functional (barely) but not in any way pretty. Then again building asthetic things is really not the reason why i play minecraft. The best way of describing my build style is probably sky map, i expand a floor above water at a few different levels with plenty of space to...

    Did some additional math to see how much you can produce from the boilers. LP boilers are actually much more efficient than HP boilers these days and a max size LP boiler requires 0.45 burntime per block and tick or 0.45*3*3*4*20=324 burn value per second and produces 7200 mb steam/s. That means...

    Here is the low tech pneumaticraft oilcracker. Very cheap and simple MV setup http://prntscr.com/auoz9v Seems they changed the recepies a bit since last so not it requires low MV tier to make as you need a MV assembler and some aluminum. Rest is some basic LV machines like the solid extratcor...

    If you haven't done so already you should really consider it. Air blocks cool down pneumaticraft machines something crazy. You should reach much higher temperature with your current setup if you just remove the airblocks

    Ive done this on at least two occasions, in this case i drove the production to fuel instead of LPG even though i got a fair amount of LPG as well as you cant go the other way around and make LPG into fuel. The main point in making it work is to avoid all air blocks against the...

    That is a fair point, didn't consider HP boilers woudl be that efficient then run the steam in large turbines. Is there any reason you are not using a passive pneumaticraft system with burning netherrack? im guessing it will be a lot slower but you could just add more refineries. However 18...

    Dont forget my sheet assumes you use cracking unit and second distillation tower as well. So if you do a low tech processing of oil you would be able to get 600 mb of methane and 600 mb of LPG per bucket of BC oil which is what you get from oilsand. That has a total fuel value of...

    if you check NEI it states that it will burn in gas turbines for 256k EU so i assume it would work in a large gas turbine as well. However i think the gregtech and pneumaticraft might produce different LPG fuels as they have different IDs, GT LPG fuel is 5686:71 and pneumaticraft is 1716. LPG is...

    Here is my new and improved renewable Heavy oil distillation setup that i run from a tree farm with 2 pyrolyze ovens http://prntscr.com/auapep I actually realised the LPG is also a pretty substantial energy source so i now run the entire methane to hydrogen line and nitro diesel line on LPG...

    For instance to get osmium from iridium ore you need to do ore wash, thermal centrifuge and then macerator for a 10% chance at 1 osmium dust. So basically when you want the tertiary byproduct

    Its well within my limits and sounds like an awesome goal to aim for. Maybe 3 x processing arrays for thermal centrifuges, ore wasters and centrifuges. Now sure how i wanna do with macerators. I want to use at least HV macerators to get byproducts but i don't think i can downgrade their voltage...

    Wow, i might need to add a proper thaumcraft refining line for metals that i need in large quantities but are not interested in the byproducts. Although that is mostly covered now by all the metals i get from the centrifuging of pahoe lava. Maybe its time to give the ore refining system of mine...
