What does YOUR Power Room look like?

IC2, Fine,
Most of buildcraft, Fine
I'm still trying to figure out how i can get that energy link better, If i have enough power, I think i will wire one up to a quarry, Set the quarry up to send the trash to my boxmotron[DOUBLEPOST=1367076100][/DOUBLEPOST]
i'd use it if a bunch of things were explained, It's super poorly documented[DOUBLEPOST=1367076280][/DOUBLEPOST]
Yea, Mods that introduce another kind of power make me confused, There can be only one!
I miss my energy link, You know what fark it, What mod is the energy link from
Not sure, but going by the name, energy converters by power crystals can do what you want.
I came here from Vanilla originally. I felt like I'd just wandered into Narnia.
Man, can I get a Layer by Layer blueprint of this masterpiece?! I want to build one of these for my server!
Hey guys!
Here's a power plant I built for my friend's server. It produces 1800 Mj/t that anyone can tap into.
Overview of the plant
Xycraft tanks for biofuel, creosote, biomass, and apple juice
*Note the empty biomass and apple juice tanks, I used up the apple juice so production of biomass slowed way down. Switched back to water for my fermenters until I produce more apple juice again.
The Greenhouse for my tree farms. It contains 4 Max sized forestry Multi-block farms and a Steve's Cart tree farm. It used to have 3 Steve's Carts tree farms, but I'm getting ready for the nerfs.
4 Fermenters managed by a local AE network
4 Squeezers and the AE network above the Fermenters
24 Stills
2 Turbines to power a matter fab right underneath the stills
12 36HP boilers, all liquid fueled. They're in a circular pattern so I can't get a shot of all of them. It's quite cramped in here.
Also, 200 Industrial Steam Engines.
10 of the boilers power 18 engines each, which feed into 2 sides of a Redstone Energy Cell, which feed into 2 Energy Tesseracts on the same frequency.
2 boilers power a turbine each and 10 more engines that feed into a REC and an Energy Tesseract. This all totals to 200 Industrial Steam Engines, 2 Turbines, 12 RECs, and 22 Energy Tesseracts.
The top 2 tree farms
The 2 tree farms below that
And finally the Steve's Carts one
I don't like cluttering the place too much with pipes, so I use a lot of tesseracts, enderchests and endertanks for transportation of the liquids and items. I also like the "module" feel, so each section is separate except for maybe a few wires/pipes.
Well, there it is. Comments and criticisms welcome.

Oh, forgot to take a screenshot of the outside of my EU room. It is a concrete hyperbolic. I think you can imagine what it looks like.

Recreated my melon power, and with creative mode. (Got to play with it and make it compact. Not sure how many engines before it cannot support itself though, 10 works great at the moment)
I'm quite happy with this design and may tweak it only a bit when my friends server comes back up. (Still working on components of my wheat farm to biomass facility, may use this melon setup for initial power of the farms and biomass production)
You have quite a few gates there. Would you mind letting us know what kind/settings they have on them to create this setup. I've done all the building, just need to know what the settings are. Thanks.
Dug up an old design of mine... I had worked on it more, but the default nerf to seed oil from seeds brought it from 26 engines with excess oil to 4 engines with maybe some excess... super tight.
As far as the gates go, the ones next to the engines are there to detect the red pipe signal and output a redstone signal. The one under the tank is an always running autarchic gate with a detect liquids>send pipe signal. The ones by the squeezers are additional autarchic gates to pump the liquid out.
Beyond these things, the design is a tad flawed. I had not realized that a redstone signal would turn off the router...
I feel bad for all these builds. With a double nerf in 1.5 (Steve's carts logging nerf AND Forestry biofuel nerf), several people here will be able to power only a fraction of their boilers (or biofuel-eating engines).
MFR is nice, but it can't be "prettied up" like Steve's carts. Or Forestry's diagonal farms (which also look cool).

I've been using cactus, sugarcane, and plantballs to make biofuel for over a year and I'm glad the nerf doesn't affect me at all.
Now I turn sheared leaves into plantballs as well because of MFR harvesters being able to shear leaves.
I usually just turn everything into plantballs, I know it makes more fuel inserting sugarcane and cactus directly, but this way I don't have to deal with filtering out stuff to different fermenters.
I'm getting even more biofuel since I've started making the MFR rubber tree farms and sending the rubber wood to a bunch of industrial centrifuges. It's a great source of rubber, plantballs, carbon cells and methane.
The methane is a nice little perk as I get some extra EU as well.
The guy below you I've quoted know's what he's doing and has used Gregtech to his advantage. It's not a bad mod, and these nerfs are most definitely worse than GT's changes to the game.
Have you used other plant-based methods (tons of different farms) to make MFR's bio reactors efficient? I know that's a good option that produces tons of it, but only if you have several different types of farms running (and may or may not skip over Forestry's nerf
). Your method is very useful because you have plant balls producing already, giving you infinite dirt if you ever need it by macerating .The guy below you I've quoted know's what he's doing and has used Gregtech to his advantage.

I haven't, however I have every type of plant and seed crap in my AE storage I believe. I plan on testing automatically feeding a bioreactor, however I'm busy working on automating EVERYTHING in my gregtech/AE building atm.
Here's a sneak peek:
Needs more Iridium Reinforced Tungsteel blocks in my opinion. And you need to gut the CF walls in my opinion. But that's my opinion on building materials for a GT/AE building.I haven't, however I have every type of plant and seed crap in my AE storage I believe.

Plus I think CF walls look like shit. And are for poor people.
I was going to make it out of cobble but that stuff is hard to come by.
