You could also go thaumcraft and transmute, but that's kind of tedious (understatement..) and wisp-inducing.

Yeah that was my original plan. But you have the issue of still needed to collect a mass of items in this case metals and stuff that is "valuable" to make the gold and in the end your going to end up with a slow process with a lot of flux.
So yeah it is good for small batches of oh I need this . Not for hey lets plate a ship in gold and call it the Blingstar.
Am I right in understanding that the centrifuge in question is the "centrifuge extractor" from Advanced Machines, which isn't in DW20 pack?
The reason I was asking is that the Lava->Gold conversion available to me is Lava->Obsidian->Iron->Gold, via the minium stone. With that conversion, 64 lava makes only 2 gold ingots, however it can be done with an igneous extruder and a couple of autocrafting tables, which means no energy used macerating and centrifuging. On the other hand it doesn't give any silver. So without a clear picture of how many EU it takes to do the macerating and centrifuging (and how much lava that's equivalent to, assuming for convenience you get the EU with geothermals) there's no way to really say which method is better, particularly since the relative values of silver and gold depend on supply and demand. (i.e. if silver is just a 'byproduct' then it doesn't matter if you don't get any, but if you care about the silver as much as the gold then obviously you'd want to take the electrum route).

I'm using Mindcrack so EE is not part of the pack nor would I go about installing. EE over all is a mod that does not hold my interest much. It is up there with the Mass/Mater Fab as one of those things my playstyle just does not jive with.
LOL I like this idea. I might actually have to get all Eco friendly on the Neither and replace the lava later.
Yeah I'm not suggesting anyone should play a certain way or use certain mods, I'm just trying to compare the efficiency of methods available in different packs, cos it seems like an interesting question.
As for EE3, it doesn't really do a whole lot at the moment.

Okay, thanks for making me laugh.
Anytime.
Speaking of the Blingstar....
So visited my under sea HQ to restock on stuff. Tools food that sort of thing. I still think it just look sort of cool.

Anyways theres work to be done. We got a lot done today.
Filled out the floor and torch spamed the heck out of it.

LOl its shadow is starting to look like some evil eye.

The lower lip thing is actually nothing but looks. It is there so when I build the dome on top it has a more rounded look to it form the edge. I hope I do not get spawned up here. I might add lighting if it comes to that and I might do that anyways just to give the underside a glow.
2013-01-25_03.23.22 by Saice, on Flickr
Weird lighting bug? anyways the underside is done.

MLG PRO YO!
2013-01-25_05.11.40 by Saice, on Flickr
OK I need advice here this is just a setup to get an idea of looks. What glass should I use?

On the left is the most annoying reinforced glass from IC2/GT that uses alloy plates.
Next is good old glass it is nice because of texture joining.
The blue glass is a Bee thing. I can make the mats for it but it will be slow so not really liking it.
Last is the reinforced glass from BC stuff I am making it already for conduits and liquiducts.
Personally leaning towards options 2 or 4. But what do you guys things.
I'd go for option 2. Stained glass is a royal PITA to produce in bulk, and Reinforced Glass and Hardened Glass both have ugly connecting textures. Protoss have a single pane spanning across the top, not a bunch of little squares.
It's the gregtech industrial centrifuge. I don't know how many EU it takes, I just hooked 2 GT geothermals into my 3 centrifuges, and have an excess of EU (the MFE in the setup is always full).
I consider it revenge for all the times that lava in the nether has killed me
You might be surprised- I agree with you that EE makes these things a little too cheap and I personally wouldn't use it either even if it was in mindcrack.

For this project, I'd go 2 and consider switching it for the xycraft glass if it ever comes out.
For my spaceship I plan on using 1. It's outer space and I'll need the protection
ok its 150 pm and I have not gone to bed yet... it is time to fix that. But before I go here some progress.
Did you know Elevators work through covers? Cool right.

Got most of the layer one done. Started working on layer two.
Untitled by Saice, on Flickr
But before I get into that I thought I would add some guides for shaping.
Untitled by Saice, on Flickr
That pole with blocks poking out is a layer guide looks like there will be 6 floors more of less. Might combine upper floors into a glass dome and stick farms up there.

You can get an idea of how the shape is coming.

You sold your soul too easy! Fuel powering combustion engines could power magma crucibles, or a steam boiler running on charcoal. Or TWO steam boilers, one running on charcoal and the other on biofuel from the saplings.
The mothership is shaping up really nicely though.

I don't think he's using it for fuel, I think he's centrifuging it for gold.You sold your soul too easy! Fuel powering combustion engines could power magma crucibles, or a steam boiler running on charcoal. Or TWO steam boilers, one running on charcoal and the other on biofuel from the saplings.

Evil Boo is right. I'm am only using it for the gold once I'm done with that I will nuke my lava pump from orbit and return to my more silly power systems.
I've got a few tier 5 shards I'm thinking of actually making a Mob Reactor to be honest.
Now that I think about it. I need to find a which hunt... sigh man I hope there is one around here somewhere.
Lookin sweet dood. While I do like the idea of the upper floor bio domes, the green might conflict with your blue-gold protoss theme.
You know....
Yeah put a ring of them on the outside and then put the needed farms in the middle.
I'll have to think about that.
EDIT: I just had a cool idea. Silk touch the leaves since they will let light in.... I can use to them on the upper dome to let me have farms up there while keeping the gold and blue look.
