    EU production - advice and suggestions please

    So just to close this off 4 weeks later and at the end of my experiment (It's finishing because Rome 2 is out tomorrow and will envelop my life for the forseeable future) Essentially due to my massive indecision I kind of did this various ways all at once and ended up with 10x more than I...

    Lets See Some Bases! Give Us a Tour!

    I don't even know where to start - the scale is so impressive - epic even whoever it is you are playing with between you there is a lot of hours, love and planning in it - grats Its motivating me to get my new unleashed up to a level where I can think of building a monster Questions what is...

    Suggestions to improve this power setup? Trying to automate power.

    My set up Engines to bridge to MFSU's But if you set the MFSU's up in a chain the (series not parallel) and have the back one (first one from the bridge) set to send a signal when empty then when you have used 10M power it will turn the whole system on and all the other ones will still be full...

    how to make the pulvizer go both ways

    If you are new to playing with the outputs I would suggest turning them all off (grey in config) in the config then allocating colours as you see fit BON

    EU production - advice and suggestions please

    ok - so off on tangents we go again I see. The nuc thing is interesting - I didn't realise they could be so useful - issue is that getting uranium means I need to get a quarry up - in my travels so far I only have 6... plus I don't own a centrifuge yet! So I think this is going to be a clear 2...

    EU production - advice and suggestions please

    Lets stay on topic chaps - no more solar is op pls :) every post on here has the argument!. I understand the use of boilers - I was running 10 on last ultimate server. its an interest point for endgame - fuel to biogenerators and charcoal to MJ via boilers. Its backwards to my mindset for some...

    Good start - justa few comments The restrictions are self imposed !- its not a server ban, I am trying to do something a bit different Solar - - you can get 512eu in the day and 64eu at night from 1 block. it is op imo but lets leave it there Lava - always used to be my goto starting power...

    EU production - advice and suggestions please

    Hi All I play with 7 other people on a server that we have just reset from Ultimate to unleashed... simply because there isn't enough in unhinged to keep everyone happy. I am currently upto the amazing tech level of 1x pulverizer and 1 x pick Being an MC masochist and losing gregtech I have...

    Bee Queries & Boiler Queries

    18 x 8 is not 128MJ its 144 as per above - Don't use them until you have constant power needs - better off making a tank of fuel and using a stack of combustion engines when you need it Once you have the need (UU matter essentially) you can hook that up to take all the surplus power...

    Best Start for Unleashed?

    Currently I am running 5 soild boilers from 1 induction furnce... it may not be as efficient as a bunch of coke overs but it does take up a bit less space! On reflection you can build a load of 36 block stuctures be efficient and build 10 sawmills Build 1 induction furnace Coke ovens seem to...

    Best Start for Unleashed?

    Just a quick one to be thrown out there regarding the whole treefarm to solid boilers thing. I was toasting wood to make charcoal then I switched to sawmills. 8 wood to 8 charcoal 1600 x 8 = 12800 heat 8 wood to 48 planks + 1 charcoal (sawdust toasted) = 16000 heat obviously you need to...

    Whats the biggest energy source/power plant you've made?

    GT makes the solar route much harder- If I could have 40000000 arrays I would on principal! but the ultimates require boatloads of mats on GT (1 stack of iridium each, glowstone and uranium by the buckets and a few UU mater to boot) Thinking I may abort my fusion plans - its looks silly...

    Whats the biggest energy source/power plant you've made?

    I meant - on average - what do you get in a weeks operation? I know storms are quite lumpy in their EU income but I wanted to make a decision if I should make one when we switch to 1.5 packs from ultimate I may just make a separate UU fab and hook it up and wait a few days - it takes a bunch...

    Whats the biggest energy source/power plant you've made?

    playing Gregtech - multiplayer I gave up at 10 (5 solid and 5 liquid boilers) 3500 EU all the time - Biomass 1x quad reactor with GT reflectors - 140 eu/t - AE fed for 24 hour production 12 Ultimate hybrids = 6144 eu in the day - Meh - Solar is OP Lightning rod - does anyone know the average...

    Help with Power Converters

    It looks like you have a problem on the input side. I.E. your tesseracts are only receiving 160 steam so you can only have 1 producer running on that rubbish input. You should be chucking 1440 steam into that tesseract and 720 to each steam consumer but you are not. even if only one of these...

    EU production - Recommendations?

    Afternoon chap, As per previous e-mails - 1.4.7 supports steves carts and MFR, both of which are better sources of trees (steves carts I know and use and I set up MFR last night and its even better) However max mining is pointless as it's a game and I 100% support trying tree farms 1st as thats...

    EU production - Recommendations?

    I suppose its not just about max/mining For me old forestry tree farms - I do not like the look of them as all but if you build them into the landscape and hide the logger its fits in well to spaces around understated bases The main issue I have with them is they are MJ eating monsters that need...

    Steam Boiler Problem(maybe bug)

    Could be anything! 1 - Steam boilers must not touch - not sure about corners touching but I know side on they cant 2 - you have a valid layout of nine solid or liquid burners underneath ie not mixed or missing? (mentioned above) 3 - you have nub-caked and left a gap in the middle? (I HAVE DONE...
