Don't worry. It is a very simply model. Just 30 quads (as opposed to 6 for a normal block) and you will not find a lot of these in your world
Work in progress. The simplest possible generator using naturally spawned crystals:
5.3k rf/t is the simplest? Goodness
(I'm just teasing here, I know numbers are in flux)
The RF/t is actually 1 at the moment
Sure. Since the generator actually generates 1 RF/tick even with no crystals present! So it is 1 RF/tick free power!!!
Oh, mcjty, I like your effects btw. Bonus if you can do sparkles/fireflies/particles around the consumer/generator. It can be handy visual feedback.
I have plans for that. BTW, you cannot see that on the static screenshot but the laserbeam actually has a small visual effects where it shimmers (slightly vibrates). Makes it look more realistic and dangerous.
But I have plans.
As soon as I posted, I realized a firefly-effect was inappropriate. Vibration makes a lot more sense. Look forward to seeing your plans implemented
The generator startup sequence. Turn up the volume a bit so you can hear the sounds of the generator:
Added some extra effects. Crystals now glow when they are active so you can easily see when a crystal has run out:
Looks shiny. The infusion process, in particular, really intrigues the engineer in me- at some point, I might have to come up with a spreadsheet of some sort to help optimize it.
Any thoughts on infusion reagents that mostly decrease the RF/t, purity, lasting time, or crystallizing time of the fluid? This could be a way to implement your "extreme mode": lower the purity to open more "space" within the quality of the fluid to jam in more RF/t- and lasting time-increasing reagents.
Also, any plans to provide some way to regulate the amount of fluid in a tank, or are you just going to leave keeping the smelter tank half full of lava up to the few mods, such as Buildcraft, that can detect it?
Suggestion: Make your tanks work with comparators, and have some kind of highish-tier RF-powered pump that can be turned off with a redstone signal.
...Wait. I know that RFTools has a liquid monitor, but I don't remember off the top of my head if it can output a redstone signal depending on the level of the fluid. If it can, that's perfectly fine. I don't see much need to add something like that into Deep Resonance if RFTools already adds it.

Yes, RFTools liquid monitor can send out a redstone signal if the amount of liquid goes above or below a certain percentage so this is ideal for that. I will add support for a comparator and then you can just use that signal on the liquid ducts.
As to the reagents I have a rough table here: https://github.com/McJty/DeepResonance/wiki
This is likely going to change still.
With Deep Resonance a radiation monitor will be a nice item to have:
