Sugar and Cactus coke

[PeggleFrank]

A barrel of coal coke blocks is actually only about 590 million EU(~236 million MJ). Which sounds like a ton but isn't actually an extraordinary amount of power.

That's not to undermine the power density of such a barrel but it would take an extraordinary amount of time to get to that.

A DSU storage capacity reaches up to 2 billion coal blocks. A barrel can reach up to 4096 coal blocks, or 65536 if upgraded. That's not even close to being in range of the storage capacity of the DSU.

Also, being unable to be filled is an advantage. You can keep shoving coal coke blocks in an DSU and it'll almost never fill up.

DSU. 2 *billion* coal coke blocks.

1 coal coke block = 9 coal coke = 72 sugar/cactus coke

A DSU full of that might power all MJ consumers on every modded MC server in the world....for a few hours, at least ;-)

What about force wrenched DSUs full of coal coke blocks stored inside of a DSU?

Dartcraft has its benefits.

OMG. I hadn't thought of that !

Repeat ad infinitum ?

I have my base running off the charcoal from coke ovens. I have a few more left to make, but will have 50 coke ovens running making it when done. I've thought about setting up the sugar coke or cactus coke, but didn't know which mod added that in. Is it Plugins for Forestry? or another mod?

Ahh....good question. Let's see:

minecraft@miguknamja:~/ftb/config$ find . -name "*.*" | 2>&1 xargs grep -i sugar | grep -i coke
./denoflionsx/PluginsforForestry/PluginsforForestry.cfg: # Meta Item. Contains Sugar Charcoal, Sugar Coke, Cactus Charcoal, Cactus Coke.

Looks liks densoflionx, aka DenPipes and it requires Forestry, it seems.

It's part of the standard Unleashed.

Can you stack Force Wrenched items? I have my doubts as to this. If this is the case, however, then you know as well as I do what comes next.

Indeed you can. But only if the NBT data is exactly the same. The only way to achieve this might be via middle clicking in creative mode, in which case, too bad, but I doubt it.

I know that peg >.>

I just used a barrel as a relative mile marker because it's the only thing reasonably achievable.

The nice thing is a block of coke is a *very* compact form of energy. A DSU can hold literally a lifetime supply of power.

I'm pretty sure a DSU cam hold a lifetime supply of power in the form of sticks

IIRC they're 250 EU each which translates to ~537 billion EU(~215 billion MJ 2.5:1 ratio). So not quite as much as you might have imagined.

I think you can use EE to combine 7 cactus/sugar coke to make 1 coal coke.

Yep, I got a automation for it going on right now. i'll post it in the community showcase soon and link it in one of my comments
