[1.7.10][LISTED] InfiTech 2 Modpack v3.2.21 [HQM][GregTech balanced hard-mode modpack]

[MarcNemesis]

Did you keep track how much one plant produces in one day? Because it grows much slower than all the other crops.

To be honest, not yet. I've based my hypothesis on other crops such as my 96 Oil Berry. Also, it is purely an aproximation. But to give a general idea, my oil berrys mature every 32min (rounded up.) They have 1800 growth points. (23 growth stats.)

Transformium has 2400 growth point. Thus i estimated aproximately 45min to mature. I'll know more precisely when i get a 23 growth stats and 31 gain for the quantity they yield.

Edit: i've refined my calculation a bit because earlier i did it wrongly and a bit quick. So here is my thought process on the matter:

96 Transformium (23 growth / 31 Gain)
- I'll assume i get 1 berry per crop (even though i'm fairly certain i'll get 2-4 on a rather constant basis.)
- i'll also give it a mature time of 45min for this hypothesis.
- i'll base this test on a 24 hours ratio to compare it to an IV mass fabricator.
- for this theory, i'll assume we only get UUM and no UUA berry.
- This process can be automated once HV era has been reached but only requires LV voltage to power it all.
- finally, once i do test it out ingame this week, i'll delete this post and post the results with more precises info.

So in theory, crops that mature every 45min mean you'll get 16 harvest in a day.
With 96 berry every harvest, this mean 384 transformium berry per harvest.
384 berry = 1536 UUM.
1536 * 16 (harvest in a day) = 24576 UUM per day.


Now the IV Mass fabricator (without Amplifier) take 10 seconds per 1L UUM.
- This mean it produces 6L / 1min
- 6L * 60min = 360L / 1hour
- 360L * 24h = 8640L / 1 day.
- Let's assume amplifier was used for every process, we multiply this by 4 because it take 2.5sec per process in this case. Thus 34560 UUM per day.
- this process requires IV voltage and as @Blood Asp mentionned, easily powered using a Fusion reactor but not a must if you have a good IV power supply.

Also, just to clarify why i say that Transformium is the olholy grail of crops is due to the combination of UUM and other crop produces. You can basically creates any ores in their purified crushed form as long as you have the leafs and UUM. Thus if you have large enough fields, you can literally reproduces veins upon veins in term of yields. All that with LV voltage. Whereas bees take times, produces extremely slow (i managed to compare with my friend who went the bees way and is not using Gendustry upgrades to speed up production.)

A simple example is copper: He made 660 copper combs in a matter od days (possibly weeks.) In 1 day, i had made arround 16k coppon fiber.

 

[Blood Asp]

I did setup both in survival before and did only remember that the transformium output was really low.

Now i remeber the reason. UUM berrys are the rare special product of transformium crops. Dropping like 10% of the harvests. the UUA berrys were used to speed up the IV mass fabricator.
Also the IV mass fab "only" needs 4096EU/t, so Mox reactor with superheated steam producing 10kEU/t could easily power it pre fusion.

Ahhhh i see. Now that make more sense. Now i'm curious as to your setup as in how many crop you were using?

 

[UNG_God]

May not be useful to you. I find it neat myself.

well it seems i have more a mind of engineer, so function came first.

Has anyone managed to crossbreed glowheat?

yep, they dont need anything special.

Blackthorn requires light level of 11 (or is it 12) and above.

all the "flower" crops require a very high light level to plant/crops , that is why i start with red wheat as it dont bother me with those flowers (crops that gives dyes) and to all of you to know, eating plant give cactus.

i finally got myself the holy grail of crops "Transformium"

Congratz, i did not go that far. But after reading bellow and the bloody show off, it might not be that good, the uum berry maybe, uua beery meh. i would never use a tiered mass/replicator above lv on gt5u , gt6 is kind of forced.

 

[Blood Asp]

Two ic2 crop harvester areas full. so 2x9²=162 transformium crops.

Either you or Jason changed the radius of the harvester because mine cover a 11x11 area. But it's good to know. I'll still give it a try non the less though. But i'll admit it won't be as efficient as i was expecting. Thanks for the clarification. On my side i'll still give it a try and post my results.

My understanding is that the mass fab does not get less efficient as you reach higher tiers, unlike most machines.

Almost finished recovering from my first serious explosion: Miswired my new 4-EBF multiblock. Resulting boom killed that multiblock, the old 2-EBF unit I was converting to ilmenite processing, my diesel engine, and one of my gas turbines. Fun time, that.

Ewwwww. Enough said.

Just a little damage left to make good

I have been playing with the advanced miner II slowly for the last week. (Been hectic so I haven't played much) But I've used it to mine a Diamond vein and am now working on a redstone vein. Want the chrome, however, in the one diamond vein alone I have gotten multiple barrels full of graphite and I'm still processing it. Should I just throw it away? The only use for it I see is Arc Furnaces and Big Reactors and form what I've heard on this forum, big reactors doesn't seem very attractive. Second, to go with that graphite I have barrels full of Yellorium, should I be deleting that stuff too?

Well, graphite can be made into graphene wire, which can be used as an alternative to other 8192 cables, unless you want to make a "Big Reactor" Reactor... then you'll need it for the blocks. Same with Yellorium, if you come up with some kind of system that can use RF power instead of EU you could use some yellorium for fuel.
So, my advice, just package it into crates and place them in a barrel until you need it... Hoarding ftw!

My understanding is that the mass fab does not get less efficient as you reach higher tiers, unlike most machines.

so it might be a hidden information, only the more advanced dissassembler supposedly works more effective (power wise). a hv uses 8xtime the energy a lv would to make it 4xfaster, but with that you could run 8lv and have more on the same time.

big reactor is very easy to make, but because we cant get it to make RF at first, the only option is to make steam (that works with most steam machines) , but it have a strange code and it is harder to make work big. Today i released my video on it anyway, some salty Eu generation.

Damage is repaired, processing lines are humming along.

"EBF efficiency changes for better coils(-5% EU/t per 900K free heat capacity, One tier overclocking without efficiency loss every 1800K)"

Not sure i understand what this mean ...

If your EBF coils are better than the needed heat capacity, the EBF runs more efficiently is my understanding.

Ok, that what i thought too but was not too sure. The last part about the Tier overclocking threw me a bit off. But that's probably just because my understanding of english is far from perfect.

Blimey, your English is fantastic
