So I've done the whole nether lava thing to death now and I wanted a fun basic MJ power system. I was thinking Biofuel but it's not really interesting so does anyone have suggestions?
Fun ways to set up a MJ power system?

Biofuel can be intresting if you go the MFR route for it.
You could build a mob reactor if you have soul shards. Whiter skeltons or Blazes give coal/rods which you can use as fuel and if done right 1 teir 5 can out put a unending stream of them.
RP2 has the BE engine... yeah its not going to be small or efficent but you can makes some intresting builds with it.

I always wondered about using RP2 BE engines but never really gone through with it which is a shame since as far as I know that route is pretty cheap also the MFR biofuel seems interesting but I never thought about that.
Fuel-rod like towers of combustion engines. If you want to set up a whole power plant, then you could always automate a standard bioplant by using a couple of t5 skelly spawners for bonemeal, and then have a wheat grower/harvester going to the things that make stuff. I can't remember the names. You know what I mean, they come from forestry.
Start off with 4 peat-fired engines (manual farm), and make boilers that run on peat.
If you have GT, get a mob farm (zombie dungeon/MFR auto-spawner on cows is awesome) and massively produce methane. Dump it all into a boiler and you'll power your base on fart gas.

There is the basics.
There is another thread on my something like Silly things to do with bt engine or the such that has a messed up want to convert BT to MJ to EU

That's a good idea but I don't think I'm at a point where I can get that but I should be get there soon if I focus on it.
I did some silly stuff with the BE engine. Yeah it is not the best but it work fairly well for MJ power. You just need a sizable sorce of BE. So like a lot of solars or a wind farm. here like me find my thread on it.
that does sound like a good idea though as a backup power source plus having a steady supply of BE will be useful when I start making machines that use that.
BTW That windmill setup you made looks awesome.

Wouldn't a beatbog be a easier long time solution since I don't have to use fertilizer and I hate searching for that stuff.
Unless you're playing Ultimate, a peat bog would be better indeed.Wouldn't a beatbog be a easier long time solution since I don't have to use fertilizer and I hate searching for that stuff.
However, in 1.5.2 they don't exist anymore - and by manual farm I mean when you plant and harvest it without it being automatizated.
Fucking Multiblock farms...

Good thing I play ultimate since I tried the whole manual peat bog and I hated it mostly do to me and digging in water don't go well together.
