[GregTech-5][1.7.10-FORGE-1355+][Unofficial but approved Port][Stable] Finally a real endgame! Now new: Achievements!
Should we change the code or change the wiki, or am I just misinterpreting something?
If we need to change the code, just remove the "* 2L" from this line.
int tGeneratedEU = (int) (this.mEUt * 2L * this.mEfficiency / 10000L);
in GT_MetaTileEntity_HeatExchanger.java#L146
ok then. it was deffinatly forge 1448 causing the problem, since updating to forge 1491 fixed that particular issue.

MHO is - multiblock machines should be more efficient than single block. So wiki should be changed, not code.
PS I'm still using array of HP Coal Boilers and HP Lava Boilers (they built long before GT5U was created) and need good reason to replace them by multiblock boilers 
Same for HeatExchanger/Turbines. Still using IC variant.
I'm with Sapient on this one. There's not much reason to invest in huge, expensive machines if they're not going to offer a clear advantage. Progression balance is key!
The short term solution is to not restart the server. I keep mine up for weeks at a time without issue and when it goes down it's because I'm making changes/fixes to the pack. Forgeessentials backup plugin has been working flawlessly the whole time.
Also in case anyone is interested in D+T numbers:

After hours of testing I see that I fucked up in a pretty big way here. I was calculating requirements based on the input of recipes rather than the output. As a result I calculated needing 110 machines rather than 258. My 64x electrolyzer array (which I've built twice now) doesn't output nearly enough hydrogen. I've updated the spreadsheet.

I'm working on the reactor materials, but already made those calculations. I'm not crazy enough to make it all those machines to keep the reactor going on.
Do you have any mod to auto craft parts and machines?

Isn't AE2 must have with GT?
tbh yes. The AE2 system I'm using is pretty decked out at this point. If I put a 64k crafting storage unit on it and three nether stars and a Pu 241 plate in there I could request a fusion computer.

Wait till I finish implementing pollution, that'll learn ya to upgrade quick :p

This is my opinion in a nutshell, but I still want to hear what Blood Asp has to say.
Also I'd really appreciate it if someone can independently confirm my numbers.

How will polution work? Limiting the amount of boilers you can have per chunk? Or just adding up over time, until you remove it with some kind of filters or plants?

Is that so?
I was looking into, seems I would to need another tech tree, and I would need to search chunk generated meteorites. As I already explored A LOT, would be a pain to add it now.
Maybe I do this weekend, seems fun though.

So, after you produced a lot of pollution, some fiscals will spawn, and will charge you with a fine? Then you can pay it, try to bribe the guy - or kill them, and after that, cops would be coming, and from this point, it becomes a tower defense game?
Seems too complicated, I hope the fines will be just a few diamonds or emeralds...

No hard limits. I believe in soft controls in game design rather than strict ones.
Short verison:
After that I'll entertain all the usual requests about dying crops and acid rain and health impacts, etc etc. Tech balance first though.

Don't forget featherless chickens and two headed cows.

Technically, when both AE2 and GT are installed, there are processing recipes for the inscriber presses without having to generate meteorites. They each take 1920 EU/t for 100 seconds, though.

Oh, nice Cloud, thanks!
I can afford that already

*carefully jots down ideas*

It doesnt make that much sense on how air pollution affects all machines though.
It should affect only things that burn (reduces air oxygen quality), like boilers.
Rain would corrode blocks away if the pollution is too high (slowly, all the way down to bedrock) , requiring a special acid-proof block to protect yourself.

Noooooo, my beautiful ideas!!! 
I agree with Spwnx (seriously, no vowels?), It should affect heavily turbines thought, functioning of the small, and damage from use of the large ones.
It will affect water sources? It could impact boilers that way, too...
Affect water? Greatly increase cost to distill water, since the water is polluted.
Machines that use water to produce steam would produce less steam and might even jam sometimes due residue.
About my nickname: Yep, no vowels. It used to be Spawn, shortened to Spwn, then added an X to avoid the problem of "username already taken".

I was going to say that, as the water is polluted, the boilers would spit boiling angry three-eyed fishes on your face, when you approach them. But your idea is good too.
(Ah, Vowels, that was the word... Fixed!)
