Every time I turn on my Blulectric furnace, it tells me it wants to eat my head while smiling. I knew I never should have trusted Eloraam.

it's angry because people almost never use him, so it gives this creepy smile when he does get used.

No but really guys, I don't even want to enter my house anymore with this scary thing staring at me and telling me strange fanfiction about us living as husbands. :'c Should I tunnel through the wall and destroy it from behind?

Just surround your house in warded stone and then place a nuke hooked up to a wireless frequency in it and detonate it from far away.

I'm trying to get some alone time away from it by setting up an EU network but I can't seem to get the power to transfer to my Macerator. I have a Geothermal Generator, then a MFE, then a gold cable, then a MV-Transformer, then cable (gold or copper still make it 'splode) then macerator. I really don't want to use the blutricity, he's really scaring me now, IC2 is mean. :'c How fix?

The hole side is the output. the unmarked sides are inputs.
My energy from Geothermal is still going into my MFE though, and if I put the unmarked side by the generator cable it no longer fills up. I don't think that explains why my MV-trans is 'splodin though. I think it has to do with the MV-transformer but I've already tried all sides and cables. I'll try working on it some more but I doubt it's a problem with the MFE. This is why I can't stand IC2. :'c

Also, use an LV Transformer, I think they can accept MV and convert it to LV, which is what non-upgraded Macerators use.

Also, Chocorate, you're using the wrong transformer. You need an LV-transformer if you want your electric furnace to not explode. Or a transformer upgrade.
Also, are those gold cables double-insulated? If not, you should probably insulate them again.
Also, you will want insulated copper cable coming out of the LV-transformer. Copper can't take as much EU/p as gold, but carries it more efficiently.

EDIT: Your MFE might not have filled when it was facing the right way because EU was getting stored in the transformer. The MV-transformer, if I remember correctly, stores 512 EU, and the geothermal only produces 20 EU/t, so the first few seconds worth of EU probably didn't stay in the MFE for very long.

I thought MV transformers were Gold level to Copper level... Thanks a ton, maybe I can try to send my blulectric furnace to a village and help them get out of the stone age. Or the, "you give us 3 stacks of diamond, we give you 1 emerald. Also, can you help us fish our road out of that ravine that we didn't see while we were building our town?"

Yea, Villagers pick really bad spots to build, I've seen houses with doors completely covered in dirt. (Though not Ravines before, but those are probably fairly rare.) I feel like they should level the ground near their village like Millénaire villagers do?

Yes, but without the complexity and weird citizen pathing stuff that Millenaire uses. Just some villagers that can build their villages without using their secret superman powers to get up to their doors.

Also, would you happen to know how to get lava from my BC tanks into my Geothermal Gen? I have pretty good resources, I just need whatever get's it from A to B. I can probably figure out how to automate/turn it on and off, I just don't know what it's compatible xD

Try the seed "These Wounds Require Elixir!" with Ultimate and head north. There's a village which I usually have to patch up because of a ravine and add stairs for the fellows who fall down it.
If you don't spawn in a Savanna with some green hills behind you(at least I think they're green hills), you likely typed it in wrong. Or maybe aren't using the default Ultimate EBXL config.
I use the name "Crawling In My Skin!" as the whole thing was a VG Cats reference I chose for a world.

Geothermal Generators can accept liquid input for lava, just use Liquiducts/Waterproof Piping/RP2's liquid transportation system (never could figure this one out) to transport lava in.
