What is the purpose of the Tick Cost on RFTools dimlets?

Add them all from the dimlets in your age and is how many ticks it will take to power up the age, there's a starting RF cost, the tick cost(how long it will take) and then the running cost. Daft name tho I agree

So, are you saying that a dimlet with a 400 tick cost would take 20 seconds to build (I think there are 20 ticks/s, IIRC)?

The tick cost, to my knowledge, is indeed how much time the dimlet contributes to how long the dimension builder takes to do its thing. So, yes, a 400-tick dimlet would indeed add 20 seconds to how long the dimension takes to build.

I made a dimension the other day that required 620krf/t for over an hour to be realized. If you don't have that much power available, it will take considerably longer to make. I left it running over night on our server, and it was done by morning.

That dimension was incredibly overpowered, thus the power sink was well justified, but I barely had the power/tick to keep it running while I looked around.

What did you have that made you need that much power. Sounds like we finally have a good use for fusion reactor power.

I was just pushing the bounds to see what I could break. I didn't keep it, just looked around, but it was something silly like Yellorium Block soil with oceans of BioFuel. I just threw a boatload of random features in with ridiculous combinations like Enderium Block Canyons and Lava Fluid Orbs. I really should have taken the time to snap some pics, but it consumed my RF supplies like nobody's business, so I made it a short trip. I've been tossing a number of semi-random dimlet combos together just to see what fun world gen I can find. Some of them have been fantastic - most of the worlds I really like have been less centered around OP resource gathering and more just interesting worlds.
