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.
