So I am trying my hardest to figure things out. I have googled dozens of tutorial pages and help guides, and hell, I even play Kerbal Space Program and know my delta/vs and other rocket science. But for some reason Rotarycraft eludes me, even with 2 google search pages of tutorials and tips.
Everything seems to be wrong, or out of date, or just plain impossible. Magnetostatics seem to have been used a lot but are no longer viable. I can't seem to find any efficient method of running a Bedrock Breaker, no matter what. I have tried using gearboxes, a hydrokinetic engine, all of this in survival. I have wasted dozens of steel gearboxes, using a diamond gearbox, and still can't figure out how to do this legit, thanks to the massive amount of diamond needed for just ONE gearbox, and the fact Monster has an insane amount of ores and thus decreases diamond spawn (I found 2 diamonds after doing a method that would get me dozens in vanilla; branch/grid mining. I spent an hour on this.)
I used those diamonds to make a twilight portal and beelined for a hollow hill to get the diamonds for a single gearbox, thus giving me my 2:1 diamond gearbox. However, even after using it, it seemed that the reddit page was wrong and a hydrokenetic engine + a diamond 2:1 gearbox does NOT power a bedrock breaker. I have gone into creative and gone nuts, trying shaft Junctions with the basic coils, I have tried performance engines, I have tried AC engines... nothing, and I mean NOTHING works.
There are no /up to date/ guides or tips on how to run a Bedrock Breaker, there are no good ways to do it, thanks to Magnetostatic engines hardly doing anything now, I can't seem to get the torque or power needed for the Breaker (holy shit, 8192? AND 2 MW power? HOW?! The Coils worked for torque with an 8:1 gearbox, but even on max output for the COil it was only giving 1 MW)
And then there's the matter of the Extractor. A jet Engine works for it I found, but that is extremely expensive. It's infuriating. I went to Rotarycraft and told myself to learn it when I made this world, forcing myself to learn about the shafts, the engines, and everything else because I was told it was /fun/. This isn't fun. This is just tedious and infuriating.
TL;DR: HELP. ROTARYCRAFT IS HARD.
