gregtech 5.09.02. from MachineStats.cfg:
CodeI:SteamTurbine.efficiency.tier.1_7=7 I:SteamTurbine.efficiency.tier.2_8=8 I:SteamTurbine.efficiency.tier.3_9=9What do these numbers(7, 8, 9) mean?
The efficiency is 6/(6+tier). The direct percentage did not work as planned, so the config now has the divisor.
About the .09 changelog, i will make an extra page for it on the wiki.
Solar panels (any tiers) produce a full amount of energy during the night and 1/8 amount of energy without light completely (in a dark room underground)
is it supposed to be 1/8 at night and 0 without?
ver. 5.08.27-5.08.29 (cant say for sure about earlier versions)
I think in 5.08.27 it was possible to macerate PFAA Geologica Limestone (including the cobblestone form) for calcite dust, but that recipe doesn't show up in NEI using 5.08.29. Was that deliberate?

No, and i can't see anything that might be the reason for that. Did you also change other mods in the same update?
Fixed broken steam math of small turbine and large boiler.
Now it really works)) Huge thanks!!!
I will take a look at the Solars.
it seems they work fine at 1/8 power at first night when chunk is loaded or newly placed, but on second night they produce a full amount of energy even after internal buffer run out

Now that you mention it, I did update a few other mods since the last time I'd checked for that recipe:
Buildcraft-compat (added)
Magic Bees (2.3.4 to 2.3.5)
IC2 (build 766 to 770)
Do oilsands have higher spawn rate in desert biomes?
In case asp doesn't check the galactigreg thread: in 0.6 veins are not spawning in asteroids.
Guys, do you think that's safe to use Fluid pipes to regulate steam to a Large Steam Turbine?
Because I remember that, using tiny bronze pipes on a ore washer, It couldn't keep it full (400l/s), until I changed half of them for normal pipes (they were used exclusively on this machine). So I guess that fluids don't always flows correctly inside the pipes, maybe they bounce back, I don't know.
Wouldn't this be a problem if I use them to regulate the steam/t on a Large Turbine?
You should watch Chloe's vid on pipes and shutters.
maybe if you use a "pressurized" pipe line, that might not be a problem (pump covers on every pipe + shutter covers aswell to prevent backflow)
When using the Small Coal Boiler and the High Pressure Coal Boiler, the boiler correctly deposits the water from Water Buckets into the block's internal reservoir... but it does not give the player back the empty buckets.
Using latest build of 5.09.02

Well, I though about that, but I would be a lot more expansive. Seems that I'll have to put the turbine as close I from my tank...
Edit: I'm watching her videos now, thanks Willis!
I'm making a LHE to large HP turbine to large steam turbine setup. While recycling the distilled water I still have to run a distillation tower almost constantly. I've tried to make sure there are no plumbing problems and optimal flows are hit (1 B/s of lava to run two normal tungstensteel turbines: 10000 L/s). Is there a mistake with the assumptions I'm making about ratios?
I made a mistake thinking that the flow was 20000 L/s when it's twice that. I ran into plumbing problems because a single huge tungstensteel pipe wasn't big enough so I just put the LHE and two turbines right next to each other. Using a large sterling silver blade (39000 L/s) and I'm still running into the same issue. Maybe I will have to work out a 4 turbine setup.

Heya willis
Ratios are fine. Where people usually lose distilled water is when the various hatches fill up.
If a hatch accepting steam or distilled water ever completely fills up, any excess is instantly voided. It usually indicates that you're generating too much steam for your turbines to handle.
