Rather than killing the ore doubling, you could half or even quarter the ore spawn frequency in the cofh configs. You can also put your own handicaps on yourself like "no automated mining until X" like I did. Much more enjoyable that way. I didnt have automining until after I setup autocrafting, which was only after making a power core (40 res energy cells) which is only after making an enderlilly farm of 32 plants or larger, which is only after making an mfr farm. Gosh I set a lot of handicaps for myself on the fly this time...
Late game boredom: What does one do with fifteen full resonant energy cells?

So, you're generating too much power? Try generating less power. Problem solved!

This:
The world lasts longer if you don't rush everything and make a game plan, achieving X before you start doing Y. It works for me. This is the best you can do when using a ton of mods. If you want to start a new world, also consider another modpack. And start with different mods for early game.

I've been playing the same world for a couple of months now. I didn't rush for excessive power and resources, and I'm still enjoying gradually expanding my infrastructure, keeping everything neat and reasonably low-maintenance. For example, I set up two sheep farms, one for white wool and one for all 15 other colours. I spent a couple of evenings just laying it out and plumbing it in. They're both turned off now, but if I run low on wool I can just flip them back on and let them run for an evening to top up my supply. Eventually I'll set up Level Emitters to turn them on and off automatically. Sure, having a decent supply of coloured wool doesn't get me another Resonant Energy Cell full of power, but I don't need another one of those.
Have you explored a graveyard dungeon? Have you looted enough Twilight Forest spider dungeons to get yourself one of each of the special tree saplings? Have you found a way into a Goblin Knight Stronghold?

Make lots of magma crucibles
Make a lava ocean in the overworld
Build a big sodoff castle in the middle

Agree on all points. Only thing I'd clarify is for anyone coming fresh into RotaryCraft: the power-hogging is mostly* subject to your overclocking. Many of the machines (including the Extractor) run at modest power consumption rates if you don't overclock them to more-interesting speeds.Get Rotarycraft. Seriously, you can do SO much cool stuff with it. Just don't expect it to be easy to use.
As far as I can tell for world gen all it really adds is Canola, which you get by breaking grass anyways. In my experience, it mainly uses iron. LOTS and LOTS of iron. You'll find yourself setting up another quarry just for some if all you have is 14k, I can guarantee that.And some of the stuff requires a ridiculous amount of power, although a lot of the major power-hogs would be pretty useless to you at your state of the game, theres some that you'd use just for fun (The railgun for example.)
*mostly
Then there is the compactor, which I had to feed massive amounts of torque to get it to the right pressure to make diamonds. And overclocking it was a nightmare.Agree on all points.

I was curious and wanted to debate with you what the actual power consumption was, but, yeah, http://rotarycraft.wikia.com/wiki/Machines_by_Tier *
Its a good example of an expensive exception!
The good news is that the op probably doesn't have a diamonds problem at this stage
Edit: the op should totally build light bridges around his or her base. I've never built one cuz they're a tragically flamboyant use of power. Perfect?
*Cannot attest to the accuracy of this wiki
I had originally made it to make the magnets required for a fusion reactor(still gathering the items needed for it. Have yet to start building it.) but I noticed I was low on diamonds, turns out I was super low on the torque actually required. Needless to say, The four magnetostatic engines I was going to switch from my bedrock breaker to the compactor did not do the trick. Or eight. Or sixteen....
And I had a CVT unit turning almost all the speed into torque.

Rotarycraft adds no worldgen aside from Canola Seeds. Reactorcraft adds world gen, but like all those things you can create a mystcraftworld to generate the ores. That said, add Rotarycraft and Reactorcraft and build a Fusion Reactor. Then weap as your power vanishes.
I realize its a bit off-topic, but whats the torque requirement? 8192?
If I were you I'd dump power into the high-tier industrial coil. I think it still does 4096 torque/speed (not 100% sure) which is much easier to gear with.
To the OP, Wagon153 raises another good project: ReactorCraft's fusion reactor is an epic end-game goal.* It does require some world-gen***, so you'd probably be looking at strip mining some newly-found chunks (myst-worlds?).
I don't know of anyone who has successfully built a working fusion reactor completely in survival and no cheats**
* Of course your problem is already too much power...but whatever? This is an awesome goal.
**I don't know a lot of people.
***KingTriaxx just ninja'd me on this point. Jerk.
Wagon153, any idea ballpark where the figure lies? Its going to be a multiplier of 1024, and I'm guessing 16384 if you say its over 10000. My google powers are failing me utterly and I'm not at home to just pull up the manual.
I can tell you the exact torque I use once I get home. But 16384 sounds about right,
Well, I have three steam boilers being fueled by a tree farm with a lamp of growth that's STILL generating a surplus.
Rotarycraft seems to be a dominant theme though, so I'll look into that. I know it requires math, which I'm fine with, as long as it doesn't take 40 minutes to craft a single component like IC2 does.
Thank you! I had insufficient google-fu to find that.
I did that early on and forgot about it, and now I have a drum of the stuff. Is it useful for replicating anything besides iridium? I went into creative to test the full quantum suit and was unimpressed with how it preformed compared to my (I may have already mentioned these) amythest helmet, MPS chest plate, runic pants and long fall boots (though I do have a few other suits to do different things of course)
I set a similar restriction; no quarries before I killed a wither.
However, branch mining with hammers, once you set up an automated system with ender pouches to keep them recharged, gets you so much stuff early game it practically didn't matter. Then I mAde an ethereal pickaxe with efficiency 3... Aka the cobble deleter
My eventual long-term goal: Get to the End, slay the dragon, and convert the entire main "island" into a floating city built from Metal Blocks, Gem Blocks and the like. Make a functional high-tech base in it, with its own, independent power generating system. For extra fun, use lamps instead of torches or Glowstone. If your power system ever goes down, so does the lights. And then the Endermen begin spawning...
