Actually, a playstyle where you minimize use of TE machines should be rather interesting. You'll need TE for power distribution and storage eventually, but until your base is big enough to require some automatic adaptability you won't need TE. Just remember that centralized power production does not work well at all in RotaryCraft until you're far enough in that you can switch to ReactorCraft and ElectriCraft, because the shaft system means you have to change the distribution network every time you add something to the system. So rather than having power blocks consisting of banks of engines, you distribute the fuel rather than the power and generate power where you need it.
How do you transfer power over long distances (such that a long shaft or cable would be prohibitively expensive and/or dissipate all your power along the way), or do you even need to do that? I know vanilla RotaryCraft has some system of passing power through portals, but said portals can only lead to precisely the same location in another dimension, which doesn't help in powering distant outposts in the overworld. Do (or would) you use the Dimensional Transceiver thing in EnderIO or ExtraUtilities transfer nodes with the ender transmitter/receiver upgrades?
So....what about interdimensional transport? Specifically, to and from the Nether where you can't control where you come out.
He fixed the shaft with Nether portal in 25 and I am fairly sure he would update
As Pad said, it's not hate.
Torque adds when you combine engines while speed stays constant. For a machine with a minimum torque, just use the right gearbox to get the minimum torque you need and that will give you the max speed you can get with your power. In you example, 2 micro turbines are running through a 16x gearbox. If you add 2 more engines, you will only need a 8x gearbox to achieve the same torque. That will double your speed while maintaining the same torque.
