Alright, so I'm going to be moving my quarryplus into the deep dark, and the problem is, I am currently fueling it off a 36hp steam boiler hooked up to commercial steam engines. The problem I'm faced with is that I'm using an MFR tree farm to fuel it, and that would be either impossible or very hard to copy over into the deep dark. So what I'm wondering is, is there any possible way to transfer MJ from dimension to dimension? (Such as have the steam engines running off the steam boiler in the overworld, and all the MJ it's producing be transfered over to the deep dark to fuel the quarry)

MJ? No. RF, yes. Upgrade to Thermal Expansion and use Steam Dynamos and a Tesseract.

I'd love to use the tesseract and RF, but QuarryPlus is not compatible with RF, or as so far I can figure out. Anyone else care to either correct me, or know of a way to do what I'm asking? (Really don't want to dig out a 10x10x40 hole)

Pipe the steam through a ender tank and setup 8 ind. Engines on site? One of MJ's features is that your supposed to use it where you create it, which is the same with rotarycraft, industrialcraft and more. RF makes it so easy and boring to transport stuff over unlimited distances.

Using a conduit to connect the Tesseract to the quarry will convert RF to MJ. Also, I believe you had a thread about improving FPS as well? Replacing Steam Engines with Steam dynamos may help with that as well.

The thing is, it's a old trick. I could even suggest a alternative trick now that a "acceptable" power conversion system exists: Mek power cube taking in RF and outputting MJ. Attach whatever RF system you like to the tesseract, and turn it into MJ on the other side. You generate MJ? Same deal, just need a second cube.

...There is of course Emashers Mods if you don't use Mek. Like some kind of filthy causal...

Oh, good call. I'd forgotten how easy and boring it was to craft a Tesseract instead of the ridiculously complex "Ender tank". /sarcasm

I'm going to be using the ender tank trick that @TheCupcakeisaLie stated earlier in this thread, mostly for the reason that I'm lucky to have the three diamonds I have, and a tesseract is probably still a long way off. Thanks all for the suggestions!

144 MJ/t to a quarry. Dats op.
