I'm not good with java; can anyone confirm whether the boiler math has changed in 9.3 as compared with 8.3 or whatever it was when I did this?

The way gnuplot works is you feed it a script full of instructions for how you want the data to appear. The plot command tells it what function to plot; in this case I told it to plot data in a text file that I generated by querying your calculator. I'm attaching the instructions I fed to...

Forecaster I don't know anything about how you're serving the calculator but I generated my graphs by querying your site and using [gnuplot](http://www.gnuplot.info/). This can be completely automated and the resulting .png graph is quite small, <15k. If you like I can share what I've done with...

Have to disagree. The following is based solely on Forecaster's calculator: Burning 180 buckets of fuel in a 36LP yields 38632282 MJ. Burning 180 buckets of fuel in a 1LP yields: 25839307 MJ. If my method used above doesn't have any mistakes in it, the 36 LP starts beating combustion engines...

This post is about low-pressure boilers burning buildcraft fuel post-v8.3. Here is the table that tells you how long a burn you need in order to beat 3.125 total MJ/HU (so, be more efficient than a combustion engine.) You will see in the graph why the data for the 36LP are lacking. boiler...

Also, how does one calculate how much fuel it takes to keep a boiler hot when the steam is not being consumed? In heatup only mode, the calculator gives a result like but that is the same as the amount that the same running boiler would use while actually outputting steam. Anecdotally, I don't...

Ok, cool. I played with the calculator and it is indeed encompassing and powerful. My contribution to the thread will therefore be a table showing minimum burn fuel/time that it takes for each of the liquid boilers to beat the combustion engine in efficiency (i.e. MJ/HU) (obviously the smaller...

Fascinated by the thread. Omicron could you be convinced to recreate the graphs in the OP for 8.3? Either way thanks for something interesting to think about.
