RP2 blue electricity converted to ic2 EU

[Supremeone]

so i was woundering if there is a way to convert from the rp2 power to EU in a efficient way
with out going from blue > MJ > EU

because i love the windmills , and dont want to go all out on solar panels for ones


playing dw20 pack

 

[OmegaPython]

No. There are probably several fancy (and no doubt inefficient) ways of doing it, but there is nothing that directly converts from Blutricity to EU.

 

[DoctorOr]

You can use RP machines to feed water mills buckets, generating 1EU per mill instead of a tiny fraction of that.

Not a direct conversion, but...

 

[OmegaPython]

Yes, but that doesn't even use bluletric energy in any way. That is just using a mod pack is for. Integrating mods with each other.

 

[Tylor]

RP Windmill output is rather low by IC2 standrards. Just like a couple IC2 windmills probably.

 

[Dackstrus]

Yes it does. The retriever needs power.

 

[Tylor]

Bu you don't need retriever. Just deployer and two filters

 

[AWESOMESAUCE]

Bu you don't need retriever. Just deployer and two filters

that's only if you're using 1 mill, otherwise you need more filters or you can use 1 filter, 1 retriever, and as many mills as you want

Anyone know if there is a whey to convert MJ to Blue Energy?

 

[Lambert2191]

There is not.

 

[Denaton]

There is not.

This made me sad...

 

[Gerhard]

I don't think Eloraam is going to be allowing anybody to make Blutricity out of MJ or EU any time soon, as the best methods of generating MJ or EU would greatly outweigh any of Eloraam's RP2 Blutricity generation, and I'm fairly confident she's fairly defensive when it comes to anybody messing with her mod and the way she balances it.

 

[SerTrollface]

Blue energy->RP2 engine->a way to convert MJs in EUs (easiest is to install the converters mod, if you don't think it's OP)

 

[Kariko83]

you could always do this: Bluelectric engine> Magma Crucible + Igneous Extruder> Geothermal Generator

It's not super efficient but it will work.

Yep. Tried that, that's terribly inefficient, but yep, it works.

 

[Omicron]

Terribly inefficient? Hardly.

Blulectric engine is the only J -> MJ converter available, so it's the ideal conversion ratio by default.
Magma crucible running on cobblestone gives you an 1:1 conversion of MJ to EU.

Therefore this setup gives you a basically lossless conversion method. If you add netherrack as a secondary fuel, you can make it even better.

Eh, sorry, didn't mean terribly inefficient by any sort of mathematical standard, just meant much less efficient than your average MC player might call efficient.

Anyway, we already have a conversion ratio from the Electric Engine, I daresay the reverse conversion's a lot less efficient?

 

[Omicron]

The thing is, Blutricity is a relatively low power system.

The Redpower furnaces run on an equivalent of 1 MJ/t, whereas other energy-fueled furnaces take things like 2 MJ/t or 3 EU/t. And the other blulectric machines, such as sorting machines and retrievers, consume so little that even a redstone engine's output seems large in comparison.

When you're converting from Blutricity to Buildcraft energy, you're converting from a system that uses small amounts to a system that uses large amounts, so obviously the end result that arrives in Buildcraft energy isn't going to be very large, regardless of the conversion efficiency.

 

[Denaton]

If Eloraam add a block to generate power from lava we have a good converter

 

[SilvasRuin]

I don't think she's going to go with power from lava other than the already existing Thermopile, and that's passive power generation and does not consume the lava.
