    EU production - Recommendations?

    Thank you - I had a look at youtube guides last night and I couldn't bring myself to listen to redneck drawl for more than 30 seconds. I will say that steves/ forestry look like more elegant solutions (ie MFR is fugly) but it is a lot less space and thats what I need as I am basically packed...

    Twillight Forest Base

    Ultimate 1.4.7 Both myself and someone else on my server have lost quarries in the TF. It's like they bugged out rather than destroyed as the frame of the quarry was still there and the engines will still outputting into the space it should have occupied (magma engine)

    Barrels < Deep storage + they are both silly cheap use the latter Note - Storage buses can be a little buggy on set up export bus into the deep storage - when finished put the storage bus in its place and you are done

    EU production - Recommendations?

    Boilers - imo you don't need these until you have a matter fabricator - it takes 6 hours to get up to temp and many days to be cost effective see post http://forum.feed-the-beast.com/threads/the-final-word-on-steam-boiler-efficiency.13506/page-8#post-328785 Are you at a point you can run the...

    Efficient EU Production?

    My 2 cents - you sound like you have enough mats to get a serious power source, biomass engines/ generators suck all kind of balls as a permanent energy solution imo, biomass engines yuk, build a still and use combustion engines. Bio/ semi fluid generators? YUK, MJ into magma crucible and use...
