I built an extra large multifarm on my base. Two important things about it. 1) it's an energy hog. I can barely keep my redstone cell charged, even though i have 12 electrical engines working. 2) it produces WAY more stuff than I need. I needed a few logs to build a proper house. But I've now...

Thanks. Another quick question. What are the benefits of the industrial blast furnace over the blast furnace? I just need to make steel for now. I'm leaning towards the industrial blast furnace simply because I can afford it.

What's the difference between a still and a refinery? I'm planning on converting biomass into biofuel and it appears these two devices do the same thing.

Depends on what you mean by effective. If you're using GregTech, even non-advanced solar panels are very expensive to build (not in materials, but in machines, it needs late-tech machines to build chips). In contrast, a generator is very easy to build. Build a batbox so you can store excess EU.

That's odd. I didn't know about the EU reader until you mentioned it. So I re-did the test again. Each furnace takes 4 EU/t, which is much less than it's supposed to be taking. That explains why I see no difference between setups. The other odd thing is that 44 EU/t is going into the two...

I did a bit of testing and it seems that the LV transformer thing doesn't matter. The test: I put in 8 cobblestone blocks in each of 7 furnaces. Then I put 8 cobblestone into the last furnace and timed it. It took 37 seconds (with one overclocker). Since 8 furnaces working at once takes 256...

I have 8 geothermal generators hooked up together and connected via a single 2x insulated gold cable to an MFSU. Since they each generate 20 EU/t, is there any advantage to separately connecting each bank of 4 to the MFSU (to avoid overloading the gold cable). Nothing blows up, so I guess it's...

When comparing the two, you can't ignore the cost of power. Generating power for TE2 machines is so slow. It takes forever to put coal in a steam engine. In contrast, a generator provides you with power pretty quickly. And if you need a lot of power, a geothermal generator really isn't that...

It worked! Thanks

Posting to subscribe. I also have a Mac and the server I'm on runs on Mindcrack pack. It was working fine on Monday. Yesterday, it downloaded the Mindcrack update. Yesterday, I could play for about 30 seconds at a time before getting an out of memory, PermGen error. I changed the memory...
