Hi, I'm just wondering if anyone knows a way to get infinite/near infinite power for your ME System? I tried the geothermal generator/buildcraft lava pump trick but the system won't accept energy from that, and running off coal in a vibration chamber for power isn't ideal...

Strange. AE is supposed to work off of RF or EU. Maybe try using magmatic dynamos since you already have a lava system in place. A single magmatic puts out 80 RF/t, but it can be upgraded to output 320 or 640 RF/t so you don't need to make tons of them. You could also use an extra utilities lava generator, but it is not upgradable so if your system gets big, you would need more than one.

On a side note, ME controllers can't accept energy directly any more. To use RF or EU, you need to make an energy acceptor and connect your power to it. It is basically a power converter block. You need it when using any power supply other than the vibration chamber. Were you trying to power the system or an AE energy cell directly??

In the World of CRAZIENESS!
Yes, indeed very strange. I would go to go to the bug report site of the FTB launcher and post a commnet there. An easy early game way which is just as efficient in terms of lava usage would be the lava generator from Extra Utilities which creates 8 MJ or 80 RF a tick.

An other way would be using the wood setup direwof20 is doing in his SMP series. Episode 4 and 5 tatly automate this untill the last tiny bit. Here you go :)

I think my problem is just I'm not using a power converter block. Not used to all these advanced new Applied Energistics mechanics :/
