Hello Guys,
Im playing on an SMP FTB-Monster Server and i want to set up an bedrock breaker, fast and safe. I cant find any Tutorial, which gives me the perfect Setup, so i ask here. Can you give me a very nice Setup?

This is what i used to get the first pieces, i am sure there are nicer set ups, but i love turning on the gas turbine
Gas turbine, diamond gearbox 8:1 torque mode ( if i remember well, try both) , bedrock breaker
you need to produce jet fuel btw: if you have the materials, use a gasoline engine and you are good to go

You are asking for too much. Fast And safe? Not in RotaryCraft! Nuh-uh, not a chance, it's either fast or safe, mate... assuming you don't use some conversion system.

Your post makes very little sense to me(except the advice on the gas turbine and the gearbox advice)..
Need jet fuel? Maybe for the gas turbine. Not for the gasoline engine, though. It runs on ethanol!

EDIT: Just Checked, yeah, a gas turbine may be a good choice for this. A diamond gearbox, I think is needed, as are diamond shafts, but the gearbox really only needs to be 8x conversion if you use a Gas Turbine.

ye 8x is okay
You use the gasoline engine to power the fractionation unit to produce jet fuel ( u also need a 16:1 steel gearbox in speed mode)
the breaker can mine up to 4 blocks in front of him, that means you'll move it quite often, so you need a "pocket " setup which you place, use, remove without loosing that much ( you waste some lubricant every time)
I wouldn't waste my time building multiple diamond shafts so the idea is exactly
gas turbine-diamond gearbox 8:1 torque mode- bedrock breaker
place it,provide lubricant to the gearbox, give the engine some fuel, don't get sucked in, get the goodies, remove it

One hydrokinetic at bedrock level and one gearbox with the right ratio to provide minimum torque. Lubricate both (I used a drum and fluiducts). Now use diamond shaftd and bevel gears to get the power to the breaker. Make some extra shafts/gears so you can keep moving the breaker around.

Silly possible alternative is to go throw a diamond into a random 2x2 pond and run a borer through a maze.

I'm not sure what the power requirement is, but it makes for much easier bedrock accumulation since you never need to move your bedrock breaker setup (you'll net enough bedrock dust for the foreseeable future)

Note to self: TF time, sooner then expected.

that's the problem with the hydrokinetic guy: if you are in early game mbe you don't want to waste too much diamonds ( that is my case in Bevo's tech pack single player)

If by "fast" you mean the time it takes to set up, a single hydrokinetic engine close to bedrock works fine without any gear boxes. Only shafts (and bevel gears if you have flat bedrock) are needed. You can have a 2x gear box in speed mode on a single hydrokinetic, but if you wait until you have some bedrock dust you can make one that is indestructible / doesn't require lubricant.

If you're in Monster 1.0.9, you can use the magnetostatic engine to power it using RF, very compact / simple setup with tesseracts.
