Hello, I have on IDSU which outputs 2048/t only, but my current machines can take much more than that. I also have a fusion reactor and nuclear reactors pumping in a lot of EUs.

What tricks can I use to output more than 2048/t to my machine line?

The only option is to have multiple IDSU's.

Edit- What machines besides the Matter Fabricator uses EV?

Build an Adjustible storage unit. Lets you choose the EU output as well as the amount of packets.

Hmm, I just set 6 oil fabricators and it seems like they can take any ammount of EU I send them. I have to examine it better though. Another problem I have is my charge o'matic which can't recharge my lapotron energy orbs quick enough.

I have to think on another way. Crafting IDSU takes forever, even with a massive base like mine.

Before I knew IDSU's existed I was originally going to craft 16 MFSU's for 8912EU/t to power my Matter Fab.

I think the only way is to either build more IDSU(these things sucks to build). Right now my fusion and nuclear reactors output directly to the first IDSU, with spare power going to a matter fab. The second IDSU is a little farther where all my production is.

Sending the output of my reactors directly to my machine line is a second option, but also will take a long time.

If you have multiple Batboxes, MFE's, MFSUs, IDSUs, AESUs, or any other EU storage block it will combine the packages/t.

If you want to output more than 2048 EU/t, you need more than one device that can output that much.

A batbox and an AESU will output more per tick than a single AESU. It's why connecting your power sources in -parallel- will allow for a much more versatile system than connecting them in -series-. I have 16 MFSU's capable of putting out 8192 EU/t. That's for my matter fabricator.

Hmm, I understand. I thought maybe there was some trick or something. I have my fusion reactor output set to first fill my IDSU and with the remaining power, produce uu matter. That's usually around 30kEU/t to my matter fab, but for my main machines, I'm capped at 2048EU/t. I think I have to change my setup a bit.

you cant craft more idsu's, they will just share the energy together (thats what they're supposed to do anyway.)
what you can do tho, is just put more storage units, in a row, that will make the output the way you want it.
you could even power a matter fabricator with batboxes, just takes many of them in a row

My main source of energy is a fusion reactor powering IDSU number 1. On the other side of my base, where I actually need energy for my production, is the second IDSU. Because of that, I can only output 2048/t[DOUBLEPOST=1373250663][/DOUBLEPOST]I
You're using a mass fabricator then.

What is the output of a IDSU?
It's only 2048 EU/t

Yeah, I guess that's the best solution in my case. Too bad I postponed auto crafting. Crafting another IDSU will suck, even though I have all the base mats.

Edit: Thanks for the help guys!
