that would be an idea, if there is a finite water mod involved. but with infinite water, it's just irrelevant. aqueous accumulator + steam generator... done.

hmm, the overly cruelly method: (which does not work as intended due to a bug.. could be considered cheating) grind the babymobs and pump the mob essence to an auto-spawner (which currently doesn't need mob essence) grinding a mob gives 100mb of monster essence. I don't know, how much...

if you are playing ultimate or mindcrack: pump out the nether, but not for energy but centrifuge the lava in order to get copper, tin, electrum and tungsten. the deal is quite good... in my opinion. and it takes quite some energy to centrifuge it.

because it was the largest oil well I found so far. and it was "just" 1000 blocks away from my base. and having close to 8.000 buckets of oil in a tank together with my refinery isn't that bad.

the only thing that is different: my world runs with the setting "large biomes". and the sea is annoyingly large...

guess, who gets the complaints if a badly designed reactor goes off right in the center of the base. I had this one time (but it was my fault not taking care of a breeding reactor). let's see when the modpack gets an update. as slowpoke wrote: if RP2 isn't available before 1.6, they drop it...

and how about an IC2 teleporter constantly supplied with a redstone signal? and the receiver teleporter does not get any energy, so teleporting back is just impossible. since animal weight is just 100, it's really cheap to teleport them. EDIT: the alternative, since it is already a breeding...

thank you, very interesting posting. so a quad plutonium setup can only be cooled with shutdown cycles, thus lowering the mean output of the system (but not the total amount of EU that can be generated). I'm not completely sure about the thorium nerf, because it actually means that I need...

but plutonium acts as a double uranium cell with double lifetime. this way, the energy of a plutonium cell is more than doubled, and it is even a good idea to make the quad-cells, as one would produce 64 mio EU at 160 EU/t. and neutron reflectors were never that efficient... even the ones...

no, it's simply a world with "vanilla" ultimate. no changes done.

assuming you are playing ultimate: set up each engine with an Applied Energistics Export Bus. this way, AE keeps the engines stocked with fuel. excess charcoal gets stored on a disk (should be a large one, like 64k, preformatted for charcoal).

it's ocean 500 blocks in every direction. (okay, there is a small island close to it) and it's definitively emerald. same texture as the gregtech sapphire and ruby, but in green. and when I mined it with the rockcutter, it said emerald ore aswell.

and it's not even a spelling error. it's a damn typo. that could happen to everyone. by the way, english isn't even my first language ;) (so, if someone spots a weird grammatical construction...)

in the middle of the ocean, there was a really big oil well (6000 buckets or so), and I drained it. on level 13 inside that bubble, I found emerald ore. till now I thought, that stuff spawns just in extreme hill biomes, and high up in the mountains. what is it doing on layer 13 in the middle...

but the one you have now eats a ton of not so readily available plutonium. and as always. if you have a good design and need more power: how about using 2 reactors?

it is a nice source for rich slag. but then, rich slag is only interesting for a few netherores like nether uranium...

yes, electrical energy-systems. a direct lossless power conversion between IC2 energy and UE energy should be no problem (although the idea behind UE was, that no one needs extra power systems). the energy from redpower2 is electricity, but no one is allowed to touch that system :( but...

let's take a look on a real factory. obviously, one of the main power sources is electrical energy. engines and so use quite a lot of that. then there is steam, mostly generated by a boiler in the basement, fuelled mostly by diesel or natural gas. pressurized air is sometimes used, it's an...

glowstone and redstone dust works too, but honestly? that stuff is to valueable to waste it on the matterfab... glowstone dust has a value of 25000, redstone dust the standard scrap value of 5000.
