Did you try using the Advanced Miner II on the iridium veins? They do return I think at best 5 crushed ore per ore block, 2.5 times more than mining it and throwing it into the macerator.

Wait...I've been gone a while and now I see a GT 5.10 - is that not a port to MC 1.10? What is it actually? I can't seem to find a changelog for it.

Like @ColdComfort said, it's would be nice to have more info on your setup. Screenshots would be nice!

Are you providing MV energy to these machines? Best to do so with copper cables and/or MV battery buffers. That's the only thing I can think of without screenshots, unless you're using wrong recipes which I highly doubt.

Plutonium (iirc) will decay and and emit radon as one of its radioactive byproducts, so for as long as there is still plutonium, there will be radon gas produced. The half-life of plutonium in minecraft terms is long enough that the loss of plutonium can just be disregarded.

O.o ok I guess it is possible then...but it's rather dangerous to do so. Better to use the correct voltage cables and risk them burning up rather than risk machines blowing up immediately with one wrong move.

Use 2x Tin Cables, which are LV. Copper cables are MV and will not work unless you use a transformer. Fortunately it doesn't, which makes more compact setups possible. The fans are just for visual purposes. Actually you can. The output face of an electric machine accepts power but not items...

Much appreciated.

Not too long ago I came across a spreadsheet containing all the data regarding turbine materials, but I can't seem to find it again. Does anyone have the link to it?

From what I see every hit of the screwdriver increases the pump speed by 16mB/t (320L/s). You can do this until you've hit 640L/s for LV and correspondingly up to 163,840L/s for IV.

@Joel Falk this was from quite a while back but I just discovered a nifty item from GT: fluid regulators as covers, available in all voltage tiers and configurable with a screwdriver.

The thing that I'm curious about is that tooltip/wiki either says 25% or 80% efficiency, which is way away from what we've observed. I wish knew where the code for this was, but not like I can read code well anyway. Do you not have a creative test world? I feel like that is a must with...

@Joel Falk just found this on the large boiler tooltip: "Refined liquid fuels have 1/4 efficiency", while the wiki says the boiler is 20% less fuel efficient when burning refined fuels. Not sure if this is correct, so I finally got around to do some testing. From what it appears, the large...

Oops I read the wiki page...don't remember how I thought of it as 25% fuel efficiency, but yeah I guess all liquid fuels can be burnt for 80% efficiency, which I think is blanketed across all boilers (sorry currently too lazy to test anything so pardon me if I'm wrong yet again). An alternative...

As for liquid fueled large boilers, iirc those fuels shown for semifluid boiler can be burned in a large steam boiler for the steam equivalent of 1/4th the amount of EU shown. Creosote oil will therefore give 2,000EU's worth of steam per cell. As for other fuels like nitro diesel and light fuel...

This is what I use now to power an EBF with LV. Have 3 energy hatches and hook all of them up with a 4x LV battery buffer using 4x tin cables. Since there's only one source of EU, there will be no preferential depletion.

@Joel Falk however seeing as MauveCloud linked me to the code which apparently has a slightly different way of calculating optimal flow, I may not be correct all the time. Using helium plasma and small fluxed electrum turbine, My calculation: Optimal flow = 32,000EU/t / 4,096EU/L = 7.8125L/t...

@Joel Falk thanks to MauveCloud telling me that optimal flow is rounded off to an integer value I finally managed to calculate everything correctly. So I guess it wasn't me rounding off to an integer but rather me not doing so when I was supposed to do so. For small fluxed electrum turbine...

Well I didn't round any values off at all and my calculations match the turbine's so it should be output losses - I'm using an LuV dynamo hatch for this setup. The funny thing is that, for the large steam turbine setup with the LHE that I mentioned earlier where I used an EV dynamo hatch, there...

If what I think you're saying is correct, then you don't need to program each dust with the chest buffer. If stacksize is set to 9 then any type of tiny dust will immediately be outputted once it reaches 9. Any reserve dusts (less than 9) will be kept in there until more come in.
