Hi,

I´m planning to make a Sorting sistem based on Routers and barrels.
So I would need the Machine Filter upgrade for the router.
This needs a matrix, whichneeds a crystalizer. Which needs a Head Furnace. which needs charge which is only produced by a solar Turbine ( at least this is what wiki tells me)
But the recipe of the Solar turbine is not correct.

How I´m suposed to make this upgrade then?
I can´t find any information in non of the mod wikis or in forum...

Edit: I´m playing FTB ultimate

The solar turbine has been removed, it's only in there so existing turbines don't vanish, hence there's no recipe for it. The only downside to this is that Powercrystals still has the solar turbine as part of the factorization power converters in the version of 1.4.7 which is current.

So now you need to make the new method of Factorization power.

Make a solar boiler.
Make a Steam turbine.
Make about 6-10 ish Reflective mirrors.

Put the mirrors around the Solar boiler like you used to with the old Solar turbine.
Put the Steam turbine on top of the Solar boiler.

Take the power from the Solar boiler.

Edit: this is in 1.1.2 of Ultimate

Unless something has drastically changed, you don't need the boiler or turbines. You just need to make a factorization battery block to power the heating furnace, which in turn heats the crystallizers.

The newly-crafted battery blocks are already 100% charged....so a few of those is enough to make a bunch of router upgrades. Of course, you can make the boiler/turbines to charge the battery, but I just craft more batteries when needed. Also, you can uncraft the depleted battery in TF uncrafting tables and get back all the original ingredients...so you can craft it again.

Hi,

thx for the help. Finnaly was able to craft 2 upgrades using 1 battery.
I will try to not use the "recraft" methode since I feel its a bug/exploid.

So I want to make the Stem turbine work.
Since I do not find many info about this in the Wiki, lets see if you can help me.

I put the Solar Boiler on a flat Ground( no water below) and the Steam turbine on top.
7 Mirrors to their side all gotactive (bending in the direction of the turbine)
and placed a battery block right next to the Boiler and conected them just for the case its not block to block energie with a lead wire.

But is seems to not produce any energie. Since there is not GUI for any of the machines I have no Idea whats wrong.
Do I need water below the Boiler and thats it? Or is the Turbine a multiblock construction?

Yes it needs water below it, also the mirrors need to reflect onto the boiler not the turbine.

OK I will adpt the sistem tonight then. Thx!

Only thing I do not understand, is why you connect the wireto the turbine and not the Boiler as you told me to do in your other post?

i had a quick look at the factorization thread on the mc forums to find more info on the turbines etc... but there was no mention of them in the changelog. However, if you go through the last few pages, someone has shown an optimal layout with the ideal number of mirrors. He set the mirrors up around the boiler in a concave fashion....digging into the ground. I can't find it right now as i'm at work...but have a look.

It would be nice to get some numbers on these things to know how many mirrors are needed etc...
