I wanted to share and hopefully discuss this solar powered matter fabricator I've been working on. I'm terribly proud of it and its so nice to have full-speed uu-matter production with the power of the sun. I'd love to get some feedback here to see how I can either expand on it or make it better. Being solar, the only problem I'd really like to resolve is to get that continuous 8192 eu all night long as well as during the day. Also possibly make it cheaper as this setup is very end game.
Solar Powered Matter Fabricator, I'm really proud of this!

the problem is what you need to keep in mind, if you use solar, it only productive 50% of the time, because you just don't get enough EU during the night.
what you could do and try is double the amount of solars, one half powers the fabricator during the day, the other fills EU storage blocks that will feed the fabricator at night.
you'll have to test out yourself how many solars and EU storage blocks you need yourself.

(I don't know anything about GT energy storage devices myself, but I'm assuming his logic is sound...
)Why not just use a Redstone'd HV Transformer? That'd do the exact same job as that setup without adding any space at all.
You cheated in a bunch of solars in a flat creative world. What exactly is there to be proud of?
In some of the more recent versions, it's only capable of accepting 8192 EU/tick, as opposed to per packet.

Ahh, I see
So, does it actually explode when fed more than 8196 EU/t, or does it just not accept that much?
Technically, it accepts more than that, but only USES 8192 eu/t from its internal storage. You don't need to worry about connecting 5 or more Plasma Generators to it for example. I wouldn't try a 1000000 EU packet from a Supercondensator though, there's really no point even if it works.
Yeah, wasn't going to try anything above 2096 Eu/t packages..
But thanks for the verification though
At 1/8th efficiency though, which means you still need more than the bare minimum to produce them during the day.
You can store power for nightfall in MFSUs and the like, You just gotta stop using your machines for a while
Guess it all comes down to how much you need, My entire system is built on three separate power systems,
The largest is the original, Solars on the roof, Mixed ranging from basic to ultimate,
One panel powers the industrial freezer/macerator/blast furnace/electrolyzer, Etc etc
The whole room all on it's own,
And the matter fabricator room has glass in the celing, And four panels inside to stop anyone form stealing my UU matter
Just FYI... a matter fab Needs NO EU storage blocks... like... ever. I have mine Hooked straight into 26 UHSP (Ultimate Hybrid Solar Panels) and Into an IDSU feeding it the left overs from my other 13 UHSP. I make 1UU per 45 seconds give or take during the day and 1 every 2 minutes at night. The Matter Fab. can only accept PACKETS of 8k PER TICK. while the ultimates give off 512 EU/tick/packet, Giving me around 16k Eu/tick IN 512 packets.
WTF?
Absolutely everything you say after "a matter fab needs NO EU storage blocks... like... ever." proves precisely the opposite (or at least that it can really really really benefit from them while technically not needing them.)
