Setting up my first oil refinery -- help :O

Well, there is also joy in having a multi-facet energy system. One that relies on multiple primary sources, multiple secondary processing sources, but all contribute to the same energy stack. This diversification is what we do as humans, though most of our energy stack is reliant on fossil fuels.

It could be a good exercise, integrating multiple energy sources. A real world example would be integrating wind/water/solar energy into your already existing fossil fuel, energy generation scheme, but in FTB terms.

For now, simplicity is best. You have yet to refine your system, tweek it to perfection, and then understand how to modulate it for efficiency in terms of growth and resource management.

Is this 1.6.4?
If yes, does it have Big Reactors as well?
If yes, build a Big Reactors' Reactor Turbine and pipe steam from the RailCraft Boilers into it. The turbines are a hell lot more efficient than the steam dynamo/engines for the same amount of steam consumed.

I looked for Big Reactor's turbine and didn't find anything. What is it called, specifically?

 

[PierceSG]

What version of Big Reactor does the pack have? IIRC it was only introduced in 0.3.1a?

And it is a multiblock structure.
I can't explain it well so it would be best for you to just youtube it. BevoJ did a spotlight for it if my memory didn't fail me.

I'm happy to report I have my first LP Steam Boiler And now that it's set up and full power, I honestly see why people like HP boilers. But right now I'm not really DEMANDING that much power.

Anyway, one refinery is creating about three buckets of fuel to every one bucket of fuel consumed by the boiler, so I'm very positive. As long as I can keep finding reliable sources of oil I can keep this cycle going for a long time

Very nice

And if you get the farm(s) set up for it, you can just go right into ethanol and/or biofuel as a substitute in case you have trouble finding oil. ^.^

Hm... Steam Drums.. That seems... Pretty smart, honestly. I may have to steal that idea and rehash it.

I made a max size Xycraft tank for steam back in 1.4 days, just for kicks. It was almost always empty, but when power usage backed off far enough it would start to fill. It was a nice indicator that it was time to turn some power sinks on. (Often a sign that my quarry had finished.)
