Yeah if you don't chunkload your water source with your boiler, you're being "adventurous."

Yeah, that's what happened. Was being all fancy and put the pump in the ocean... about 2 blocks outside my loader's set range. Left it on overnight on a server. Logged in and BOOM! Was not a good morning.
Edit: 'fancy' in that it looked more 'industrial' pumping water in from the ocean/lake.

I'm proud to say I have never blown up an boiler. The secret to my success? Aqueous accumulator directly underneath the boiler(Yes, those existed in 1.4.7).
Yeah mine was due to stupid placement
and now I always put mine directly next to the boiler.Aqueous accumulator was easier and didn't depend on the infinite water mechanic.or you could use a pump in an infinite water source
In Monster I always use EU and MJ converters. The ones that require an energy bridge. I only do that because combustions engines are cheep to make, and you can give them infinite water with an aqueous accumulators. The only downfall is they require fuel to run efficiently, but I love building oil rigs and refining fuel so its perfect for me.
There is always the Semifluid generator
32 EU/t is pretty good for a single block. And if my calculations are correct, the Combustion Engine makes an equivalent of 15 EU/tYou are correct. From what I know EU to MJ is a 2.50/1 ratio. Combustion engines run at 6MJ/t with fuel, and you can only fit 4 engines around one machine. That would equal 24MJ/t, which once converted to EU would be a total of 26.5EU/t . Combustion engines are definitely less efficient. I do like the set up though ^-^
I always pump oil, wherever I can find it, store it in a big Railcraft steel tank, refine it to fuel and run a whole bunch of semifluid generators for my EU. It's always been my go-to energy source because it works for both RF (compression dynamos) and EU (semifluid generators). And it's also the best energy source for those machines so it's all a big huge win. Not sure why other people don't use fuel, although on a SMP server the oil supply is limited and can disappear if people do use it (and Mystcraft is banned which it usually is)... then you have to go to bees or something else to get some, and it's not as easy.
Yes, in Monster pack. for some reason oily bees produce their combs very very slowly so you do need a lot of them. I opted for an Ocean Oil Biome Mystcraft age instead this time, just for a change of pace and to figure that mod out.
@Gideonseymour remember when you created a mystcraft mob essence age, and gloried in your sucess, but then it turned out to be unstable? (then i got trapped :C)
Warp book is a great mod
It works across dimensions, even mystcraft ages... SOOOOOOOOoooo... you should always have at least a page to the overworld when you go into a Mystcraft age !! One can never over-engineer things. One can merely make things explode from too much awesome.
