How to remove UU-Matter from a tank?

[Inaeo]

IC2 has the most stupidly easy power generation of any mod I've ever seen. Coal, lava, solar, wind, water. If you can't find a way to make power with IC2, something is wrong.

Engineer's Toolbox can also generate IC2 power, and has it's own converter from RF. Or it did in 1.6.4. I'm not sure if it still does.

It's not making power with IC2 that is the problem. It's making it in any significant quantity. Most IC2 generators put out stupidly low amounts of EU/t, so you are forced to spam them to get the power you need. I, personally, dislike spamming generators, so I opt for solutions with higher output, which IC2 is lacking (outside the reactor or maybe the RC Turbine).

Yea I wish it more realistic like for instance bigger and more power producing generators that consume per unit of fuel faster and etc.

IC2 has a whole middle tier of generators that I totally ignore as they involve complicated consumables. I'm not sure what EU/t they are capable of.

So what's wrong with slowly gathering power? I know, not everyone has time to play a lot, but turning on your IC2 gen and then playing with one of the thousand or so other mods in the average pack. Or just plug in a Big Reactor with an MFR cable, and go straight to the MFSU.

Or build an ultra high yield nuke with nuclear control plugged into it. One chamber, fill the center bar with uranium, the sides with reactor plating. As long as you have nuclear control set up to kill it before it goes boom, it's just fine.

That is not always an option for example when you need a process to run 24/7 or when it needs to be able to any time of the day.

 

[KingTriaxx]

Charcoal runs all the time. So do wind and watermills. Four watermills with a piece of cable in the middle will run forever and produce power without any more intervention from you than plugging them in the first time.

Or if you want to get stupidly fancy, use Steve's Factory Manager to run water buckets through.

On the other hand, aside from UU, what are you running constantly?

 

[asb3pe]

My server-mates seem to be in the habit of using the wind farms for early-game IC2 power source. Just replace the blades once a week or something like that. I've never used them, I stick to fluids like lava, oil and fuel.

But KingTriaxx is right... "aside from UU, what are you running constantly?" The reason I got bored with IC2 in Infinity is that I realized I wasn't doing anything with the mod except get myself into a pointless infinite loop - make more UUMatter so I can make more iridium so I can make more solar panels so I can make more UUMatter so I can make more iridium so I can make more solar panels... eventually I had so many solars I really didn't need any more of em... ridiculous amount of EU and nothing to use it on. And THAT explains why I love GregTech so much... but that's another story for another thread.

I brought the smallest 3x3 Big Reactors reactor online last night. It charges up my MFE so much nicer than my three lava generators ever could do. Now that I see it in action I'm going to make a much bigger reactor. I do like IC2 devices, probably because that's all I knew about, and I'm going to continue working on making Quantum gear. After that, I don't know what I'll do.

Do you have a quarry?
If not, do some googling and plug it in to your reactor.
When you're bored of that, set up the maximum-yield ore-processing set, fully automated. That'll keep you busy for a while, and that's just the standard stuff everyone does right away. After that, it gets interesting.

Nice! Me thinks I'm going to make a very long rednet cable. Is there a distance restriction?

 

[Inaeo]

There is no restriction on distance, but its likely a Tesseract will be cheaper if you are going very far.

 

[KingTriaxx]

A nice less complicated alternative are Extra Utilities Transfer nodes, and Ender Transmitter/Receivers. They only move power, but it's less messing around with machines to make. (Aside the QED which is merely slow.)

I like to use those and trains instead of tesseracts.

-You need to make the IC2 wigmaker.
-For this you'll need both tin and iron comb-teeth to make iron and tin wig-combs, so you'll need a comb-extruder.
-You can do this manually but it takes an extra 11 crafting stages.
-Unfortunately, you'll also need some more infrastructure to make the comb-extruder:
-A bullshit machine frame. It's an advanced machine frame surrounded by compressed bullshit crystals. Luckily this oredicts with MFR sewage so you can substitute. Just pump it into a compressor and it should work.
-Once you have bullshit crystals and a bullshit machine frame you are ready to make your wigmaker.
-Use some orange dye and the back end of a sheep, feed it into the wig maker to make yourself a massive ginger.

Now you are ready to properly extract UU-matter with a bucket.

Bahahahaha, you have truly lived up to your name sir.

If you are talking in reference to powering a quarry, just build another 3x3 reactor at the quarry.

 

[GreenZombie]

Redstone energy cells hold quite a lot, and can be used as a convenient source of power away from home if you don't have the inclination to use tesseracts or dimensional transcievers.

 

[KingTriaxx]

Although, since you already have IC2 power, build yourself an MFSU cart, and an energy loader and unloader. Then put the unloader at your quarry and rednet cable from there.

Good idea. Thanks for the advice.
