I am currently playing Ultimate FTB pack, I have a significant EU production already, about 51k Eu/t. I know its a ton but I want a lot more. I want to make a barrel of UU a day. So other then the uu to ultimate solar can anyone suggest a way of producing a MASSIVE amount of EU. Preferably a renewable and sustainable power source. I have bees producing so I have a pretty large stock of most materials.

Boilers on top of boilers on top of bees making fuel as fast as possible is one way of doing it if you want a massive ultra-complex build.
However, that would require silly amounts of steel. Which is why you should breed a steel bee.
Or you could *just* do fusion. You know, take the easy route.

Wow. 51k eu/t is pretty impressive, I must admit.
If you don't mind me asking, what are you currently using? Like... 100 ultimate panels?
I'm... not actually sure what would be practical for your needs. Fusion reactors were my first thought... but the amount of materials you'd need for the amount of them required to suit your needs would be.... nauseating.
I'm not sure what the highest eu/t you can get out of a nuclear reactor without it being a bomb hazard is... but that's a somewhat cheaper possibility. Other than that, I'd say boilers or solar panels would be your best bet. But, I'm definitely not an FTB guru. There may be more practical alternatives.

What about lightning rods in a mystcraft age that is eternal thunderstorm? I seem to recall reading about that awhile back.
I need to switch over to Ultimate so I can play with some of these toys. All I have running currently is a measly 64 HV Solars which power 40 bronze/bronze/tin/tin electrical engines before dumping the rest of their energy into a mass fab+recyclers.
How much UU-Matter is enough?

Oh, this is a good idea.
I always forget about lightning rods.
I don't think it takes a massive amount of capability to make a 90 acre tree farm+Boiler set up.
Literally the only thing you need to be capable of is Copy+Paste. The same applies to all but the most obscure forms of eu generation.
I am ceaselessly amazed by how self-righteous people can be over solar panels. "Hurrr, your eu generation takes less space than mine, therefore you are bad."
Chuck Norris made a mod where you generate EU by roundhouse kicking a crash test dummy in the face. Last time anyone heard from him, he was generating 15k EU/t from that system alone.
Chuck Norris jokes were funny pretty much never. At least think of some better ones...
Commander Shepard made a mod where you generate power by headbutting crash test dummies. It kinda blew up the HV Transformer it was attached to when she first tested it...

There's only one Chuck Norris joke I've ever found funny since I entered High School.
"Come on, guys. Chuck Norris isn't a super hero. If he's really all that great, I dare him to teleport behind me and slam my face into my keyboaslsdfjslefjslgkjfsoeifjf"

We need Commander Shepard jokes instead. They're like Chuck Norris jokes except they have Commander Shepard at the start.
Take her VI out of this stupid demo mode and put her in an ATLAS mech, and you'll find out. Messily.
51k EU/t means you should be generating a UU every 20 seconds.
You should be able to build a fusion generator after generating overnight. The next night build two more. The next night six more.
Fun fact relating to fusion reactors: They can easily (at least until Greg's newest nerf to them, which probably won't be coming to FTB until 1.5, in which the multiblock structure also became MUCH larger) be automated to run deuterium and tritium (using only 7 industrial electrolyzers and 18 centrifuges)- but sustainably running one on deutirium and helium-3 requires EIGHT reactors running tritium, as well as quite a few centrifuges (I assume, I haven't done the actual math there yet).
Why, you ask? Well, the only ways to get helium-3 are from endstone and centrifuging 16 helium-4. The only ways to get regular helium are from endstone again, glowstone, and nuclear fusion. As it turns out, both aforementioned reactions produce one helium cell per cycle- so you need sixteen fusion cycles to end during the time it takes your helium-3 cycle to finish. The helium-3 fusion takes twice as long as tritium fusion, so you only need eight tritium reactors.
Also, while you're at it (if you've already built nine fusionreactors), you might as well create a tenth one to dedicate to making iridium. I remember that there are two reactions that require a constant supply of power, but I don't remember the recipes. I think one is lithium + tungsten = iridium, and I've found that clay is a good source of lithium (5 UUM = 48 clay balls, if I remember correctly, and electrolyzing however many clay dust takes only 10 seconds- plus you also get sodium, silicon, and aluminum), and tungsten comes from centrifuging lava (as well as copper, tin, and electrum (centrifuge again, I think, for gold and silver)).
Also, it seems that emeralds are a good source of berylium. Much better than enderpearls, if you want to make your reactors out of nothing but UUM (which can certainly be done).
Also, DoctorOr, what UUM cost balance are you using? Vanilla IC2's "cheap" recipe or GregTech's default 100 times more expensive recipe?

The Differnce between Commander Shepard and chuck Norris is that Chuck Norris chose option D.
Wow ..... thank you for your help. You have just proved a point of mine. There is Always one asshole out there that thinks because you are not doing something their way, that you are doing it wrong. I have been working on multiple projects and have a completely automated Ultimate solar panel factory. So there is a possibility that I am not lacking the capability to explore other methods, but am currently exploring them now.
