speaking of 2x2 doors, I love how these look:

Trust me, I don't even plan this out consciously.

The problem is that my doors are ALWAYS 2x2. Always. I like them that way. Obviously, if I want my base to be symmetrical, the rest of the base needs to be evenly spaced on either side of the door, like in the picture.

That tends to lead to everything being even.

I loathe that Minecraft limits doors to being either 2x1 or 2x2. That's just too small to be a proper door for a building of any significant size. That's why I've fallen in love with the Secret Rooms mod, which (via the camo gate) allows construction of doors of almost any size and shape. A camo gate is also far easier to set up than a frame door and is both more compact and more flexible than piston-based doors.

I'm also a huge fan of the ghost block, which I use to place invisible access points & shortcuts all throughout my base.

This is my base from my server - I'm in the middle of manually updating to 1.5 (Xycraft + ChickenChunks bug is killing me...), so it won't be finished on the server, but I do have the world downloaded and may finish it up in SSP.

The whole thing is built from warded glass and stone, the floors are all 3 blocks thick to acommodate lights and still prevent random people dropping in by digging under and up - I'd originally intended to have the whole base colour coded\access restricted and have player detectors for people to click on and open up whichever areas they had access to, but I never got that far, unfortunately.

How you get oil ocean...

Yeah, that's where I draw the line, as well. I don't mind lava, because at max you're only going to get 30k EU per bucket.

Plus, had I delved into Boilers before, I might not ever had used lava at all... so...

I hope Resonant Ender isn't used for oceans.

Or anything like that is the most instable stuff

But you know what'd be cool?

Liquid Glowstone oceans.

It was added in Mystcraft 10.0.1 - its in ultimate 1.0.2. I used it to kickstart fuel production, switched to MFR Oil Fabricators afterwards (Partially cause I accidentally pruned the data folder for the age... Oops)

They don't have the best appearance, for techy bases, but I really like Twilight Forest's reappearing blocks.

Here's my base, I didn't feature some of the more boring parts, Like all the industrial greg tech map,
And i don't have any thaumcraft things coz' i dunno how to use it
I seriously need advice and coaching
SCREENSHOTS: (In no particular order)
QnPfGKo.jpg

Sky-Shot of the complex, I need a better name then P.R.I.M.E Industrial, Or at least an acronym
xemaZQn.jpg

The freezer for coolant cells (Another thing i need assistance getting working)
LHbOHaS.png

The Super-Duper High voltage area of the energy building, AESUs and MFSUs abound, No TFs were required because of the fact that i could just tweak down the AESUS' outputs
EQBqfMh.png

The MFEs, Guess i still need MV power sometimes, Even if it's just to power some poncey gregretch stuff
9X7lmIq.png

The Lo-Fi Longwave area, Gives power to the scrapinator and some basic machinery i don't want in my home
notS8D3.png

The reactor setup, She's an idlin' on the safest setup i can dream up, Jarate cooling cells and thorium rods (Are the helium coolers the best? I forget)
I'm not making much power because i can't be around to tend to it all day, There's already enough energy to suit my needs, And if i'm lucky, Lightning strikes will hit and i can get my IDSU filled up for free
xcylvPC.jpg

Ye-Olde abandoned ravine, A reactor blew up down there, Totally not my fault
qqALUAB.jpg

Third floor of the "House" building, Serves no purpose
4NI5pnN.jpg

Lightning rods, Quantum linked to the main power grid, Still no bites
odv1zos.jpg

The window view from secure storage
mVrVB8e.png

The safes where i hide things, Like porn Also, Iridium and whatnot
RMx1EFC.png

Wall O-Stuff, Because i cant have all my tools on me 247
The suits on the wall are (Left to right) My modular power suit, Invisible on that rack for some reason, My everyday stuff, (engie overalls, Long fall boots, Ultimate jetpack, Solar hat) And my quantum-gravi suit
Also, If you look to the right of the screen you'll see the energy bridge, It's a pain in the ass and i need someone's help to fix it
THgPO4s.png

Ah yes, The tower of eccentricity, A fine monument to how much stuff i have
IxxsycW.png

The Scrap-Motron, Too lazy to optimize it (Also i dont know how) Or build it it's own building
U40odvs.png

Close up of reactor, Surrounded by ice and walled in well over required safety ordinance


That concludes the V-Tour of my base i've probably done a really horrible job of building and wasted hours on, Tell me what i can improve on, Or how i can fix my MJ operable machines[/quote]


**** to do:

Build beekeeping area (wanted to do it on the roof, But the damn thing is technically in a savannah so i think it'll just stop me from breeding the kinds of bees i want to)
Build a farm somewhere, (Another case of "I am very lazy")

About the reactor:
http://www.talonfiremage.pwp.blueyo...9xa56zr94uw73ajosl8jp6849numh92mkhpnrkysyetq8 gives the same power as your setup does and doesn't need external cooling.
http://www.talonfiremage.pwp.blueyo...cm1hqdzjuqot2b2e2e867ovsvrn4k1v1atnc6crir9r0g makes way more power than your setup and is still 100% safe. It also doesn't need the GT freezer, because it doesn't need coolant cells.
Edit: Or use http://www.talonfiremage.pwp.blueyo...deblov48zqb1j29tssmrdu120n6jypx8hkdkbuxyyin7k for higher efficiency (put less EU/t).

About the lightning rods:
Make one long line of metal posts up to the sky limit, this will significantly improve power output. Use the search function, this was discussed with some good insight a few months ago.

About the Wall O-Stuff:
Which item from which mod is it, that lets you hang your tools on the wall?

(Yay, posted this time. Last try I got a cloudflare error and had to retype my post...)

Bilbocraft or something,

Thanks for the advice, New things taken into account are:

Reactor setup (Thanks now i can scrap that stupid farking gregtech piece of junk)
Lightning rods (raised the mast, Dunno what you mean by "search function"

Anything else? I REALLY need help with the stupid wall of stuff that requires MJ/T, I wish they could code it to accept EU/T as well, Or just have an IC2 version, I hate mega joules

I'm gonna use the one of those setups that makes the most power because i have a ton of spare materials,
And a five chamber reactor is in place already, I literally build everything around it
TBH this whole thing was improvised because something i'm to embarrassed of to talk about happened and blew up almost everything
But do you know a good way to get thorium?
Or something i can do with those damn coolant cells?
