there quite a few ways to get massive power generation quickly: like the above guy said, steam boilers. each full sized boiler produces 320eu/t constantly if fueled properly. you can do this via biofuel/plank automation, or if you have nearby oil fields, you can use those with pumps and...

isnt that the one that needs mining pipes? i cant see under your tooltip and cant remember clearly.

radioactive bees are one of the best for power and uu scrap, and one of the most unique in that its the best means of production. oil as well for power, and end bees for ender pearl automation can be nice.

Interesting, I guess its a hell of a lot cheaper than a lossy condensator setup, though the tin count adds up fast. I guess its easier to automate though. What are you using for tin? This gets insanely expensive at higher temps, like 120 tin every 8 minutes in a 2700eu/t reactor

This is incredibly dangerous since BC gates do have a bit of delay before the signal fires. Coolant cells are best used in compact powerful quad cell reactors where two heat ticks will cause an explosion. The safer way is to have the condition checker emit a redstone signal that shuts off the...

just a small note for you, unless the energy cost of vacuum freezing a coolant cell has reduced by like 80%, the machine is not efficient enough to beeasonably energy positive. You can load the coolant cells into ao-fuel reactor designed specifically for cooling the cell slots at zero power...

I think you can just use redstone signals detecting item count in the chest, rather than being forced to use a sub-net. Export buses can be controlled by redstone period, it doesn't have to be the ME level emitter. Youd need two buses though and two redstone signals to do this. Granted I...

Good call, my mistake. I was thinking 2% was lowest for some reason, but of course it should go lower. Duh.

I don't know how that'd be able to be balanced because uranium already uses the lowest chance rate. Plutonium is double value of uranium so it'd obsolete the uranium bee.

I like this lot too. Its nice because you don't burn a y-slot double stacking, and are able to keep the boilers contained with their liquiducts in a 4x4 set in one chunk.

Pre-fusion: 22 micro reactors producing 3200eu/ 8 ultimate Solaris production 4k EU/ 1 lightning rod in fluxville producing an average of like 400eu/ 2 boilers producing 720eu/ A dragon egg siphon producing 128eu/ Post fusion: I automated AE production of all components ult solars and fusion...

im probably missing the sarcasm of the exchange, but Id call it a classy response. I'm impressed, nikolai, bravo.

uranium bees require min-maxing with frames in an alveary to be a sensible approach. if youre on 1.47, you can produce about 1,000 uranium a day in a 6 frame alveary, and in 1.52+ you can get about 150-250 uranium a day per alveary without swarming your queen from overproduction. It is the...

Well from an FZ perspective I guess its not a big deal, but nether ores give more mats in ic2/gt machines as nether ores, and I believe TE machines as well. Nether ores have a lower spawn rate than the overworld and the bonus offsets that. I tend to use all the mods so FZ's processing...

what? lead ore works fine, at least in GT. also, cinnabar and aluminum can be processed in any furnace, albeit without doubling, which doesnt matter considering their lack of usefulness. FZ only works for vanilla, silver, and lead, and if i recall, not even silk touched vanilla diamond, coal...

What? I don't have the exact number, but I recall a full sized boiler burning about 1 bucket of fuel every 320 secs. Are you sure you aren't gimping your production?

That's what I was asking about, I hadn't seen you mention that yet as I don't scour the forums hourly and thought this was a nice relevant place to put it. I have not seen that info yet anywhere nor in this thread, no need to get hostile about the request. Thanks for the info, good to know...

I'd like confirmation from someone as to how computationally intensive solar boilers and mirrors are. When playing on a server, the only time I experienced screen tearing was when looking at one of those things. Given that they generate a whopping 44mj/t for, I think, 1200 silver, so they are...

maybe this has changed in more recent versions, but the biggest detractor against factorization, to me, is its not a one-stop ore processing shop. in 1.47 it could only handle like 9 ore types, meaning you have to set up another system for different ores anyway.

Simple enough, I put automation in the basement and put communal access machines in a wing of my main floor. For things like the industrial grinder, you build it in the communal area but put the automated grinder on the back and a manual use grinder in the front with a hopper and an export...
