Modded Minecraft Energy Research

Eeh, a minor thing, but something I'll probably fix. I more meant that each 80 RF tick yielded 450.24 kW; I'll probably change the wording to make that clearer.

I think I got the proper consumption rates for jet fuel this time: Microturbine = 1 bucket every 45 seconds (1.11 mB/t), and since the gas turbine seems to run thru jet fuel twice as fast, that'd yield 1 bucket every 22.5 seconds (2.22 mB/t). I don't think I'm off, as I added a bucket of jet fuel to a microturbine in creative and got the 45 seconds, but that's after compensating for a bit of lag, as I'm doing all this on a laptop in a pack with 107 other mods (incl. Dragon API), going by the title screen.

Those numbers are very out of date. The microturbine got a huge efficiency, boost, while the jet engine goes through a bucket every 15s or so.

Aah, must be using a back-issue of the mod, then. Well, I have noted in the thread which versions of which mods I'm using, so...at least its accurate to the version. When I update, I'll make sure to re-check things like that. I just don't want to update only to realize that I'll have to redo all the things, ya know? Getting an established base from which to work, first, then updating to the latest stable versions.

Oh! I found a semi-apt metaphor, its like learning to use a gun: learn to do it right first, then worry about doing it quickly. I'm also making sure that the methods I'm using are accurate and efficient.

Where I come from, if you have a gun and are not either police, a few select security guards, or a hunter in the middle of nowhere (which does not count as where I come from, either), you are going to end up spending at least a decade in prison.

Aah, not American, eh? Bloody cultural things...

(I realize I use a lot of British vernacular and spelling, that's mostly a force of habit and having been influenced a fair deal by British stuff like Doctor Who and Eddie Izzard.)

 

[Reika]

Aah, not American, eh?

No, not even close.

 

[RavynousHunter]

No, not even close.

B-but...I thought everyone on the internet was American! MY REALITY, IT HAS BEEN SHATTERED!

 

[Not_Steve]

No, not even close.

He lies! Canada is /basically/ America

Huh, didn't know this board actually put the images themselves (as opposed to the BBCode links) in the quick reply box when you quote someone. The moar you know, I guess.

Also, you Canadians have Adam Buckley and Pahimar...lucky fuckers. Then again, I believe we have Team Four Star, Direwolf20, and Morvy, sooooooooooo...even on entertainment, I guess? Oh, and Canada gave us Todd and the Book of Pure Evil, so they win lots of things by default.

Now now, don't derail too much...the Overmind may not approve.
