Fastest Quarry?

[abculatter_2]

Here is another idea. Get a fuel production setup that creates renewable mj fuel such as biofuel/ methane/ blaze rods/ lava. Dump these into solid/ liquid HP boiler. Run liquiduct pipes from the boiler to a liquid tesseract input. The liquid tesseract has no loss, unlike the energy tesseract. Connect the liquiduct pipes to as many sides of the tesseract to increase input. Make a second liquid tesseract for output. Place the output tesseract close to quarries. Run liquiduct pipes from output tesseract to 18 industrial steam engines. These industrial steam engines are connect to redstone energy conduit pipes, which connect to the quarries. Use redstone alloy wire system for switching engines on/ off.

1 HP boiler produces enough steam for 18 industrial steam engines. 18 industrial steam which each produce 8MJ apiece, is 144MJ. This will make one 6x64 quarry go really fast, even 4 6x64 quarries are fast with this, and its not so hard to set up another HP boiler power system if you want even more MJ.

You, good sir, are a genius. I am definitely going to use this, just have to decide if I want to use frames to automate the process or not...
However, have you tried placing the tesseract directly adjacent to the boiler?

You have to use liquiducts, if you're inputting just on one side of the tesseract you can only send 160 units of steam, which is enough for 4 industrial steam engines outputting 32 MJ/t. Here is a helpful thread.

Thanks As Dafuq? pointed out, each side of the tessearct only takes up to 160 units. The thread he mentioned was the inspiration for this as well. Should have linked it

And this setup can be used for anything mj related. Its great. Advanced bee keeping takes ridiculous amounts of power, and this is the only way ive been able to set up apiaries at some distance from base.

However, frames for automation? Never even realized that could be done! Isnt quarry BC, and frames RP? Would have thought it was possible Any tips?

Definitely possible. Quarry systems on frames been around for a while.. I just think you actually have to break and pickup the quarry to move it.

Block break the quarry, move frames, deploy quarry.

The thing is I don't know exactly how the deployer faces things, it might place the quarry sideways or even backwards.

Use Deployers to plop down landmarks too!

The quarry will always face west, no matter what orientation the deployer.

EDIT @ ABOVE: NONO DON'T DO IT!
Deploying landmarks crashes the game when you place down a quarry next to them for some reason...
At the very least test it in creative first.

If you use an energy tesseract, you could use a redstone energy cell between it and the quarry to regulate the output.

 

[TheDawgMiner]

If you have access to the engineering Turtles, they can place landmarks, activate them & place the quarry & the works, although at some point designs like "Snap & Box" or a mining frame system that uses mining wells tend to be a bit less to maintain. also a turtle can set up 64x quarries mid air with only 4 blocks so you get all the wood ect and could repeat it over and over till your game crashed from to many loaded chunks LOL

Shhh You.
So what if it's 8 months old. Someone is asking a Question regarding an FTB Mod and "how to" If you don't want to contribute don't! But don't belittle someone that's just starting out, that's just wrong.

Energy Tesseracts. Why don't they have a Power output like the Redstone Cubes. I have like 20-30 Mag engines pumping an Energy Tess and it don't bring the "Blue" on my Assembly Table like the Cubes do
Another Question, How do I become a "Well-Know member"? Do I get my Mate to "Like" My Post Heaps?
I have another Account with Minecraft perhaps I should "Like" Myself! Nope Can't Do it! I don't like myself

There was no question. The post revived a dead thread for no reason. Your white knighting is noted, and is also ridiculous and unnecessary
