Makes sense, as it is implemented right now the EU power system doesnt add anything and just brings incompatability issues. Its very different with the gregtech system where you actually have something more going on like amps, voltage tiers and losses. IC2 EU is basically already RF but at a 4:1...

When you have like max 2 hours per day of free time you relize it takes a lot of time to progress in infitech :p Finishing the heat exchanger setup and large turbine is gonna take a while so i might as well do the theory tonight, that i know i can finish fast at least :) I also managed to make...

On a ligher subject, what different options do you have for crafting in the modpack? Ive used steve's workshop for way to long and i still havent found all the stuff i need to get into AE2 which im guessing is the ultimate endgame when it comes to storage and crafting. So what are good crafting...

Did some updates on the fuel refining sheet today. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ypolb7s6aLHTMSyClcbFxEPIlYP19qZGNUgDUOqpP4Q/edit?usp=sharing Added some low tech fuel options such as steam to methane and food to methane. Did both theoretical and practical tests and it seems like with...

The way it should be thought is actually that you use steam as an indirect media to turn solid fuels or lava into methane. There is large logistical perks to that. One thing is the energy density as steam contains extremly small amounts of energy per volume but the other thing is moving it...

I actuallt got a pretty funny carbon based methane production idea. Basically you run water->hydrogen>methane with electrolyzers and chemical reactors. If we go by the pure numbers the net processing cost would be 195k without losses and give gas worth 225k. Im guessing the process should be...

Think you need to run it at ULV as well or the recepie gets overclocked and the net power output turns negative. So the system must run a gas turbine->transformer->4x centrifuge to work. don't remember the exact numbers but i think the net gain was around 15 eu/t per 4x centrifuges or so which i...

Something you should also look into is the throughput of the centrifuge. I think i checked into that before with running 4 centrifuges on ULV (better efficiency) but the power output is extremly low. So i don't think the production of carrots is the big problem here rather the refining process...

I should say HSS-S is the one that looks the most promising both considering availability of material, cost and output. I will make a full calculated check later with all the materials that seems somewhat viable. So expect math to appear soon :) Having a high max output is actually extremly...

That is way more inefficient than using tungstensteel boilers thought. The HSS-S steel is a rather large veriety of materials. You can make an even blend of 27 ingot that consists of 5 steel, 5 tungsten, 4 molybdenum, 2 vanadium, 2 chrome, 6 iridium and 2 osmium (as you can see in the tooltip)...

Some nice new alloys in the game that are quite interesting. There are 3 different kinds of HSS alloys of which 2 are tier 4 and have superior quality over tungstensteel. There is also a budget version with lower durability in tungsten carbide which is much more expensive in terms of tungsten...

Efficiency of diesel generators should reach maybe 60%, 95% would be impossible. Efficiency of compustion depends a lot on temperature. straight combustion to make steam reaches maybe 40-45% while gas turbines might achieve 55-60%. Even more if its a combined cycle power plant (gas turbine+steam...

If the consumtion is constant and only the steam production is affected during startup it should actually be rather simple. Just see how long it runs on X buckets of nitro diesel and multiply by the amount of burn value it goes through each second (this should be 40000/48000*1600= 1333 1/3 ticks...

Well some additional information would help. Maybe a picture wouldnt hurt. One idea: The UU recepie requires a full 32 V which means the recepies should require 2 amps to work due to losses. At the same time you are using 8 LV transformers per MV transformer which should give 0.5 amps of power...

Building on Mikhails question earlier: Making a liquid fuel multiblock turbine would actually solve a lot of the previous problems ive mentioned with liquid fuels in EV and IV. Especially if you make the large liquid fuel turbine require titanium instead of tungstensteel to make. The additional...

Well you kinda have it with the large boilers (althought the efficiency is in question). Do you mean something like the large gas turbine but with liquid fuels? That actually makes a lot of sense :)

I actually think that it would more balanced and in line with the rest of the modpack if the only way to pump large amounts of lava would be through gregtech. Right now there is very little reason to use the gregtech pumps at all really. Especially the endothermic pump vastly outperforms all...

Is there any way of finding out how the efficiency of liquid fuels in large boilers work? Maybe the GT5 u developer or a config or something. It's hard to say something definetly when you are only speculation and since the boilers have a warmup period it is rather difficult to make a accurate...

Ender thermic pump from ender io with a dimensional transiever can easily pump 5-10 buckets per second and they should not have to be moved that often (at 100rf/tick). The ender thermic pump has a pretty decent range so it should be able to pump quite a lot before it has to be moved. It should...

With all that said in mind i'm still not entirely sure how much power you can produce from say 1 bucket of nitro fuel with a boiler->boiler->turbine setup so i might just be dead wrong. Althought it feels likely considering they changed the efficiency of liquid refined fuels from 80% to 25% in...
