Translation: It's not the mod's fault, but still punish one of them anyways.

Actually, at 50 mj/t, a quarry would eat through a redstone energy cell in about 10 minutes. My quarry takes a loooooot longer than 10 minutes to finish a full-size excavation.

Energy tesseracts take the checking entirely out of the equation. You know how many times I have to check on my quarry? Once. Energy tesseracts are my go-to for any of my long-distance energy-requiring set ups. A quarry eats a hell of a lot more than 600k MJ over the course of its duration.

That's... not good. AE is an amazing mod, but I use it for item storage, and compressing my previously massively space-inefficient sorting room into five blocks. I need something independent for inventory-to-inventory item transportation.

Well, the DSUs can store up to 2 billion of any one item. It would take me several years to fill it up with one quarry. I mean, I may as well use it if I'm going to be doing something with that cobble, anyways.

I'm so happy he did that. That is a much better system.

If you need a place to just store the cobble, DSU's are really nice. I use one to store all of the cobble from my quarry. On top of being a giant sinkhole for any one item, you can move them without displacing any items. Filled up one? Throw it in a lava lake and start over. Of course, DSUs...

Immibis' infinitubes have been a really nice alternative to RP stuff. Once I get RedNet in my hands... ... I'm suddenly questioning why I haven't updated to 1.5 yet. If IC2 updates soon I think I'll do just that.

I would assume that it's a flat loss. If it isn't... well, it should be made a flat loss because that's just silly. There shouldn't be energy loss just because the energy passed through the same section of conduit that's attached to a machine. Although, that would be pretty easy to circumvent...

It stops when it runs out of fuel, and to my knowledge you can't stop it until it either completes its job, or runs out of fuel. I don't run a turtle unless I know that it has several times more fuel than it needs to complete a job, as I really don't like restarting them.

Holy shit. Now that's funny.

Redpower... on the condition that it only happens after I update to 1.5 and get my fancy new RedNet.

I'm no physicist, but the law of conservation of energy states that the energy in a closed system remains constant over time. Minecraft does not adhere to this rule. Energy is created and lost constantly. Well, can't you make that argument with ANY mod that introduces a new mechanic? Take...

The original complaint that was I was responding to was that the mechanic didn't make sense. Trust me. I was there. Are the absence of gravity affecting certain kinds of mass, lack of conservation of energy, infinite water, infinite mob spawning, and most machines not requiring any maintenance...

You'd see the problem if you'd bothered to get context on the conversation. I was comparing Minecraft to reality. Not to itself.

I getchya. I'll bet you money that Greg'll fix that in due time.

Huh. Whaddya know. That's already what I do. I thought there might have been a limit... but I actually wasn't sure. Are you sure it's 1,000 mb/t?

The limit is how much steam you can stuff into it. But, I'll agree with you on that. There should be a hard limit per energy bridge. Just out of curiosity, what is the highest mb/t you've seen enter a single power converter?

What exactly do you mean by unlimited output?

I dunno. I understand that conceptually it doesn't make any sense, but neither do half the things we use in Minecraft. Tesseracts? How the hell do those things work? Joules traveling through conduits? None of it makes a lick of sense. There's no point in criticizing one mechanic due to its...
