Hello forum, There are two reasons for my post, one as rotary craft is a relatively new addition to ftb, there doesn't seem to be as much community knowledge of it as some of the longer standing mods, so I thought if people have there own setups or want to share info on the gas turbine, then that might help people out at some point, and it might help me out today :cool:

Secondly I am currently wrestling with the gas turbine, or more accurately producing enough fuel to keep it running. I have done plenty of experimenting in creative and have determined a few things. Firstly I'm pretty sure the gas turbine uses 2.2mb/t of jet fuel, or one bucket every 22 seconds. With infinite BC fuel, it takes 3 fuel enhancers to provide that much fuel plus a small surplus, but that's where I get stuck, In my original creative tests I came up with a need for 60 refineries to keep up with 3 fuel enhancers, but I have reason to question how accurate that is, I can't seem to get that number down though, so what I need to know in order to see what I'm doing wrong is; is there a limit on mb/t through a fluiduct? how about a tesseract? and finally is there a similar limit on RC tank valves? those are the only bottlenecks I can think of, anyone got anything else?

Also the fractionation unit, I haven't used it yet too much as I haven't automated the materials like I have oil, but have people got any experience with them? how do the options compare?

Finally, there are two things I haven't been able to work out through testing yet, how many mb/t does the fuel enhancer put out? and does it increase it's work if the rad/s increases?

The fractionator is a more efficient way of producing fuel.
 
how much more efficient? I had assumed they would be & I've got them piped in and ready, I just need to get a more reliable source of soul sand atm, everything else is automated, but the fractionator does resolve the entire issue of providing enough fuel as well.

I have not done the statistical comparisons, but the fractionator is about 80x faster (per unit fuel).
