Regarding the liquiducts I finally got around to testing them and it takes 9 outputs to power 18 industrial engines, so each steam boiler face can output 80 steam, or 2x the capacity of a golden pipe. Basically, instead of three more pipes you could run three less and get max power.
Edit: Though I would probably add a 10th face temporarily at least so all the boilers hit their max just so the numbers don't fluctuate rapidly.

I'll just keep my 12, looks better
Could you explain your 2nd setup? Im not familiar with the texture pack so i dont know what you have running between the engines, and that thingie with the "wireless" symbol on it?
Thanks in advance

ok... half a barrel of solid fuel, 36HP boiler set up.... acculumators on.... go!!
...this may take a while, I'll be back...
*few hours later* right, I'm at 800C, I should probably build some engines and actually use this.

-Well I guess that was a little wasteful, it's not like I have an farm that produces an endless supply of fuel for free without any inputs or advanced machin- oh..

How many blaze rods per second do you make with that?
Also, which tier of spawner, and does it work when you're not around?

Its a T5 spawner, not sure on Rods/second, but it spawns about 3-4 blazes ever 2 seconds. I'll run as long as it stays loaded.
I believe tier 5 is the only one that spawns without the player present, so it should be that.
I also have a T5 blaze spawner going into a 36HP boiler - it generates around one blaze rod every 3 seconds, but a fully warmed up 36HP uses one rod every 7.5 seconds, so I still have a growing surplus. Could technically be possible to run two boilers, but I have no need for more than 144mj/t.
Hmm...
1 blaze rod every 3 seconds?
That's 288MJ/t+ with 2 boilers (288+eu/t with conversion), or 100eu/t with generators.
That's not bad, to put it mildly. My own setup (Steve's carts woodcutter + sawmill) produces enough for 1 boiler with extra.

550Eu/t with steam turbines. and an extra rod every 14 seconds.
Something tells me everyone's going to start howling 'overpowered' and it'll get nerf'd before you can say 'shu-'
(Listen carefully and you can hear people whining about EE3 being OP)
Honestly, I never bothered with steam turbines. There isn't much that I need the EU for that can't be done with MJ, besides UU-Matter (for which I use lava gens), and I find that my biggest limitation is always iron to begin with.
I don't see how this could be nerfed easily, actually. Even if one (i.e. GT) nerfs/removes blaze rods fuel value, one could use EE3 to convert them to other power sources.
Speaking of EE3...

If Cringigo's numbers are exact (7.5 second burn time, average 1 rod every 3 seconds), then 2.5 rods every 7.5 seconds, giving the extra every 15.
As a 36LP boiler will burn fuel at exactly half the rate, a blaze rod will last .. oh- 15 seconds.
Taking the grand total up to 360Mj/t or ~662Eu/t
A lot of iron needed to foot the upfront cost, but a turbine will pay for itself running a massfab or matterfab, and theirs a few other ways to generate iron too.

Yeah, iron golem farm for example. I haven't seen that mentioned once on this forum for some reason. Build one and have your steam turbines run et infinium. You can even build a system to autocraft everything.
After that it's just good cheap energy.
well, maybe because iron golem farms have quite a few requirements, are really big structures, and have relatively low drop rate?
On a server, if loading the chunks, it could be viable, but that's about it.
Unless you are talking about something else than the twin tower design.

Yeah, I mean that one. It's pretty easy to build, if it takes a bit time. Two chunk loaders can keep it going at all times and the drop rate is actually nice. I had so much iron at one point that I was making all of my other metals from it with TC. (Then I ran outta vis in the local area
)And the requirements are:
-one igneous extruder
-two buckets
-a few torches
-4x16 doors
-electric jetpack
-portal gun
The portal gun is negotiable, but does help a lot. I'm working towards it atm.
Low drop rate? My vanilla twin tower dropped stacks of iron fairly regularly, and supposedly there's even more efficient designs, though I never bothered with them. I just built it in an area over my underground lair and it was running most of the time I was on without chunkloaders! I intend to eventually bring that world back as a mystcraft age, but haven't yet.
And iron is necessary.. just building one iron tank takes several stacks...
@poppycocks: the gravity gun is MUCH cheaper. If you were looking to use the portal gun just to move villagers, you might look into one of those
OT, my power room has evolved into quite a mess, I've spent the majority of the day today just trying to untangle the pipes, moving a couple machines and make it a bit more organized. Starting to make some progress!

Well, as far as I am concerned, Iron is not a shortage, as I nearly I have it in quantities nearly equal to all the other ores added together, but that might be luck.
Well, I didn't get far with the beta pack, I am talking about the branch mining I did on Mindcrack V7.
Might just be that there is a lot further down and not as much higher though.
