Biofuel generators

[mattp_12]

I recently watched one of sl1pg8r's videos called "Moar One Eight!!!," and he showed us this cow farm that basically has a rancher from mfr being used on a cow and having the milk being used in a biofuel generator to essentially produce endless power. I made that in my ftb world, but it doesn't work. The generators won't accept the milk from the fluiducts. I pretty much built the same thing, minus the ME system. Was something changed? I'm running FTB monster 1.1.2.

Don't you want a Biogas engine?
Such a setup would require a small constant supply of Lava also.

Without a link to the vid in question it's hard to see what you're trying to replicate.

Checking the vid in question; That's a positive power loop. Most mods have stopped those from occurring one-way-or-another.

Essentially it's was an exploit, and now it's been fixed.

Oh ok. Since it's been fixed Ill probably go hunt enderman to make ender tanks and make a pump in the nether, to power some magmatics, or use a biogas

I believe squids still work.

Put a squid in a tank (body of water surrounded by glass) and put ranchers around it and ull get tons of ink sacs and they can be turned into BioFuel (MFR)

I seem to recall that the rancher was altered to not allow pulling from the same mob with a rate that would support 'squid-pawa'..at least not at the level it was being used at originally. Might still work with a few squid and/or multiple ranchers? Dunno.

Im gonna try it out in creative first cause I don't wanna tear it down like the cow one

I believe the rancher was nerfed to only milk cows and squids once every minute for each.

I made a squid one in creative with 3 ranchers per side, and it works like a charm! I put in a couple squids, gave the ranchers some initial power, and it worked

If you are playing Monster then make a farm with Uranium (Magic Crop) and use that in Big Reactor.
