    Universal Electricity vs IC2 pros & cons

    I was looking through the configs from Atomic Science and I saw this: "Allow Layered Turbines"=true, what does this mean?

    Universal Electricity vs IC2 pros & cons

    Two questions in regards to the Atomic Science Fission Reactor: 1: What is the benefit of stacking two fission reactors on top of one another? 2: How big can you realistically make a fission reactor? I have one in my current world with an internal area of 3x3x2.

    Universal Electricity vs IC2 pros & cons

    It was not my intention to pit one mod against the other. I have used IC2 for almost 2 years and I know the mod well, however I didnt know anything about UE. UE is closer to IC2 for functionality then BC so I have been using IC2 for an example for most of my questions.

    Universal Electricity vs IC2 pros & cons

    I was aware of the MPS Omni-tool, I was wondering about any other tools that were available. Does UE have any generators that use BC oil or fuel for power generation?

    Universal Electricity vs IC2 pros & cons

    Do any of the mods in UE add tools like the ones in IC2. Like the Drill and the Chainsaw?

    Universal Electricity vs IC2 pros & cons

    Ok the turrets that the ICBM mod adds look really cool, I'll have to try them out. You may want to look into this for some of the mods that are based on the UE API: Universal Electricity

    Universal Electricity vs IC2 pros & cons

    Does UE have any kind of base defense options? IC2 has the tesla coil which can be used to kill mobs.

    Universal Electricity vs IC2 pros & cons

    The vanilla hopper works for me, you could also try an extractor pipe from Logistics Pipes. What is the benefit from making a fission reactor more then one block tall? It still only uses one fissionable rod for fuel and one colling rod cools the reactor regardless of size.

    Universal Electricity vs IC2 pros & cons

    Is there a standard between the the main power systems? For example: 1MJ=5EU, 1MJ=3UE, or 3UE=5EU?

    Universal Electricity vs IC2 pros & cons

    Well I just discovered that the Atomic Science Turbines can provide EU, MJ, or UE energy depending on what cable you have connected to the output side of the turbine.

    Universal Electricity vs IC2 pros & cons

    Alright, I've been working with UE and specifically the Atomic Science Fission reactor and have been able to get the Turbine issue I was having resolved using the EnderIO liquid pipes. It was fun putting the reactor together and it puts out a surprising amount of power, I've been able to run two...

    Universal Electricity vs IC2 pros & cons

    I'll have to try the Ender IO pipes to see if that improves performance. How much steam do both the Large and Small turbines need to run, and how long does it take for the turbines to spin-up to full speed?

    Universal Electricity vs IC2 pros & cons

    Ah ok, I didnt know about the "spin up" time for the turbines, the animations for the turbines weren't moving however I was hearing the sound they made and I was getting power from them, and I was using the Mekanism fluid pipes for the steam to the turbines, is there a better pipe I should be...

    Universal Electricity vs IC2 pros & cons

    Well I have been messing around with UE for 1.6.4 and had a 36LP boiler up and was playing around with the large atomic turbines , however they did not seem to generate alot of power. They dont have a GUI so I could not see how much power they were creating. I also had a platform up at around...

    Universal Electricity vs IC2 pros & cons

    Well the nuclear stuff looks really cool, and it dose not look too complicated to set up. I've been watching this video: The Fusion Reactor looks like alot of fun. It also looks like some items give off radiation, the Hazmat suit protects you from the affects, however is there any block that...

    Universal Electricity vs IC2 pros & cons

    The turbines sound interesting, however I was wondering about the differences between the IC2 nuclear reactors and the UE reactors.

    Universal Electricity vs IC2 pros & cons

    How do the nuclear options between the two compare to each other? I have never tried running an IC2 Nuke before but I've seen DW20 set up a few.

    Universal Electricity vs IC2 pros & cons

    Thank you for that, that should be useful. I didnt know that it could take MJ's. Do I hook up an engine like a gasoline engine to a UE bat box?

    Universal Electricity vs IC2 pros & cons

    Yes that is one glaring con against UE
