Uses for power

[Colmikex]

Hello, this is my first post so forgive me if I made any error.

I have been playing for weeks an FTB world with monster mod pack and now I don't know what to do.
I have a lot of useless energy, and the only thing where I can spend it is in UU-matter, but it is not very useful since I can get the materials from big magical crop's farms.
Is there any other thing where I can spend it?

Thanks!

Welcome to the forums! Make ridiculous amounts of machines?

I use my excess energy as a currency to wave in the face of other people on our server.

- Make a quarryplus with the efficiency V enchantment. It goes so fast the energy usage is CRAZY.
- It's also quite a big job for the assembly table, so make a crapton of lasers. Those are pretty intensive on the power too.
- A big mob killing machine with MFR Grinders, those can eat up their fair share of power when used in large numbers.
- Other MFR stuff, some of those machines are nicely power hungry, 'specially the auto-enchanter, i've found.
- Make your autocrafting setup HUGE. If your base isn't fully automated and draining thousands of whatever power unit you generate per tick, you're doin' it wrong.
- MFFS, hide your entire base behind a big shield.

Nice ideas, I will try all that things.

Thank you!

Here's an idea if you haven't already: pretty up your base.

I know it sounds dumb but honestly beautifying is one of my favorite things to do. It slows down the pace of the game and causes you to forget about all that 'wasted energy.' I mean at some point you realize that you cannot be there every step of every tick and buffer every last unit of liquid or energy. Some is going to go to waste. That is perfectly FINE. This isn't real life, resources are renewable.

Where there's a will there's a way. Make stuff snappy! Hide cables behind covers. Embed your machines into walls instead of taking up precious room space. Decorate your floors and make lights interesting. One of my favorite lighting setups is recessed lighting. Basically you throw some glowstone lamps or other source of light out of sight then have glass cover it (think of fluorescent lights at a workplace, only hidden behind the ceiling/wall corner.)

Just stretch your time out.

You can hide lights by putting glowstone nooks (from Forge Multipart) behind covers.

Energy dumps such as mass fabricators and MFR laser drills are pretty good I hear.

You have reached the point where you are in survival creative. At this point minecraft becomes a lot less structured. You truly can make anything you want.

If you haven't already, check out the "let's see some bases" thread in the community showcase forum. It will give lots and lots Of ideas on what you can do.

Waste it creatively.
