DW20 1.10.2 Endgame power options?

[Dentvar]

I'm still working on the numbers, but it is 1 Squeezer + 1 Fermenter + 1 Refinery = biofuel to supply at least 3-4 generators, depending on how you set the generators up.

Do keep in mind, the generators will consume a whole bucket, even if the work is interrupted by being full of energy. So you'll want to use something like EnderIO's Power Monitor to set up redstone control. Say turn on at 50% and turn off at 99% so you don't waste a whole bucket of fuel on almost no production.

Just like with the generators, I set up the crystals to run when I need them, because it will produce and waste energy even if the energy storage attached to them is full. Which dramatically increases the longevity of the crystals themselves.

I did some work yesterday and for the moment I have 1:1:1:1... but having hard time to get a good melon seed production running. What is the current way here?
I have planted the sseds in a line and then in the lines next to it ranged block breakers from AA to get the melons.
But I can´t keep up to let it running. I did this on a 9x8 field
I still have to apply some growing helpers like greenhouse glass and the botania flower but will this be enough or is there a way easier way that I do not see?

Personally, I just go with regular wheat. Hemp produces more oil per seed, but it grows so slowly that it isn't worth it. Wheat on the other hand grows like crazy. Then potatoes for the ethanol.

If you are ok with a bit of what may be considered cheaty and are willing to go into a few mods, I noticed that RTG fuel pellets can be made from blutonium which is craftable from yellorium. This turns what would normally be one time use big reactor into infinite power. You can use Forestry's electrical engine to convert EU to RF, and if its too slow you can fit it with circuit boards with bronze tubes to get up to ~180 rf/t per generator, matching up perfectly with the output of 64 eu/t from 2 Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generators.

It may not be much compared to others, but its an easy way to get free power and can stack up quickly and easily.

I don't know if you know this, because you are new, but if you want to post in a thread please make sure that it is fairly new. The author probably moved on. Sorry if I sound snobbish.

Although its about 6 months out of date, the pack is still very much relevant and current, so its not the worse necro I've seen by a long shot! What I WOULD be interested to hear is whether this works NOW? I hadn't heard at all that blutonium and plutonium were exchangeable, and if they are I'm interested to know if it would work in Beyond too. So for my part, I'm rather grateful to @theCoosome for bringing it to my attention, although you are quite right about the thread being a little old

Unfortunately, the problem is you're still talking peanuts. 32eu/t is nothing, and you need to fill up the generator completely with RTG fuel to do it. Heck, a basic no-frills nuclear reactor that won't ever explode can do like 420 EU/t. There were some one chamber reactors that were cranking out like 120 EU/t. For that matter, a culinary generator by itself is pretty stupidly good power generation. And if you get a farm going, the biodiesel from AA is about as broken as the stuff from MFR was... which is saying something.

The RTG is really, really lackluster for what it does and what it requires, even with this workaround.
