Problem Powered on moonshine...

Hello all,

I am currently playing on a small FTB Infinity Lite 1.10 server, some very nice people there, and thought I would power both my EU and RF machines off the same core source early game. I have created The Vat which is now creating Hootch to power a couple of Combustion Generators (all from EnderIO), but discovered after the fact that the Semifluid Generator (of IC2) won't accept it as a burnable liquid.

Might someone know of a way to convert Hootch into something IC2 will accept within this modpack? On a whim I also tried using Universal Cable (Mekanism) from my capacitor to an electric furnace, but power isn't being converted either.

Trying to avoid having two completely separate power generators in my tiny machine room.

I decided to reach out to the server admin and see if they might be open to the idea of equating EnderIO Hootch to Forestry Ethanol (via Forge Liquid Dictionary entry), but I honestly don't know if that would even work.

Outside of converting Hootch to RF to Lava to EU, I don't think there is an easy way. Minetweaking the Liquid Dictionary might work, but I wouldn't want to be drinking much Ethanol.

"Minetweaking the Liquid Dictionary might work, but I wouldn't want to be drinking much Ethanol."

And yet... there are stories.

I got a reply from one of the server mods, stating that it was a reasonable forge dictionary addition though they will likely go the route of: Hootch = Biomass and Fire Water = BioFuel/Ethanol (to balance single vs. dual stage processing). They aren't 100% sure if it will be implemented though, depending on what it would take server-side.

In the meantime I am considering the route of a single chamber IC2 nuclear reactor (safe 100 or 120 EU/tick design). Just trying to plan out what I will need to get there. Macerator, Compressor, Metal Former, Thermal Centrifuge, and Canning Machine to make Uranium Fuel Rods?

Auto-crafting device of some kind to mix the uranium pieces so you can can them and Ender-io cables and filters to get it all to work on it's own so you only have to input Uranium ore and it will make the rods, put them into the reactor, pull the used rods and stuff them back into the Thermal Centrifuge to grind out the iron dust and plutonium.

All you have to do then is replenish the empty rods, iron plates and copper plates, if you are making quad rods.
