[GregTech-5][1.7.10-FORGE-1355+][Unofficial but approved Port][Stable] Even GT5 Experimental is slowly getting stable.

Today, after finally getting a distillation tower up and running, I finally realise how incredibly powerful it actually is.

If I remember correctly, for 64EU/t every 16 ticks, 64 Oil => 64 Fuel + 64 Sulfuric Acid + 60 Methane + 16 Lubricant + 4 Glyceryl Trinitrate.

Assuming 100% efficiency for all generators (which I use), and that my math is correct, the fuel output itself generates 512 EU/t. However, it's a better choice to react a quarter of it with glyceryl trinitrate to form nitro diesel, which generated 480 EU/t in addition to the leftover fuel with itself creates a respectable 384 EU/t for a total of 864 EU/t. Furthermore, the 60mB of methane distilled out generates 168.75 EU/t in a gas turbine, and while I currently void the lubricant and sulfuric acid, I believe the latter can be used for single-used batteries as well. That makes for a whopping 1032.75 EU/t, not even counting the sulfuric acid, all for just 64 EU/t and a decent oil supply (oh and the cost of producing nitro diesel).

Even though this is all based on 100% efficiency, even at 80% it produces a more than decent energy supply. The tower's really a pain in the ass to build, what with tons and tons of stainless steel, but once it's up and running your oil supply just got a whole lot more lucrative. I'm powering a HV EBF, MV EBF, HV Multi-smelter, MV Vacuum Freezer, MV Implosion Compressor, and the MV Distillation Tower itself all off the products of that oil and I still generate a surplus of fuel and methane.

It boggles me how good this machine is.

And compare that to the regular distilleries which are much less EU efficient. I think something like half the energy goes into distilling the fuel in an MV distillery and it does it at an unreasonably slow rate.

Try my setup: Canning machines to produce enough to supply biomass to 3.333 Distillation Towers (that means 4, I´m using the 3.333 because that is the amount a pyrolyse oven would produce, but the oven is somehow buggy). The DTowers provide enough biogas to power 9.5 large tungstensteel turbines. Total energy gain is about 6291 EU/t and it only uses one bio chaff per 225 ticks

Btw: Is the pyrolyse oven not working or am I to stupid to build it? If it is so, could somebody put a small guide how to build it on the wiki?

That is how I did it, still shows structure incomplete. Whats the circuit in the GUI for?

I have no idea what the problem is.

Crash when updating to IC2 #789 when looking up advanced curcuit boards in NEI. using GT5u 5.09.09 crash report will be uploaded to gihub

Same problem

i have another prolem wit hthe pyrolyseoven.I build it like on the pictures, but i can't start it with a softhammer...it only opens the GUI. other multiblocks function!

dohvakin96 , Alirex.Prime I looked at screenshots, Pyrolyse Oven must be FILLED with ULV Casings. Not HOLLOW.

You're wrong.

Does anyone know will Replicators works in Processing Array? Where should i put data orb?

Quote from Blood Asp

No, replicators do not work in PA.

Whyyyyyyyyyy?
For uninterrupted production of Beryllium for Be+D reaction its 32 replicators needed.

Confirmed.

Effects IC2 Experimental 787+ due to the following addition: http://ic2api.player.to:8080/job/IC2_experimental/787/
Added basic Fluid Canning Machine NEI Recipes. To be improved. (detail)

Effects GT 5.08.32 and GT 5.09.09 equally.

Here is the crash report with relevant stuff only: (looked up UU Matter Fabricator recipe, then Field Generator (IV) = crash, Circuit Boards = crash, doesnt matter -> anything that loads Integration crashes)

Also, can someone try to build the pyro oven at coordinates +100/+100 and -100/-100 and +100/-100 and -100/+100? maybe the +/- calculation is wrong.

At +100/+100, the oven accept some of the hatches and buses (except maintanence and the inputs, the muffler). At all other positions nothing happens. I hope you can fix that fast

I was thinking that the super conductor could have variable loss (cooling cost) depending on the ambient temperature of the dimension. For example, IGalacticraftWorldProvider, provides methods to get a getThermalLevelModifier() for that dimension. For example, over-world is hot with a value of 1.0, moon has a neutral value of zero, Mars has a cold value of -1.0, and Asteroids has a really cold value of -1.5. I am not sure how you would calculate the different loss, perhaps,

float loss = (getThermalLevelModifier() + 1.0) / 2; loss = loss >= 0 ? loss : 0;,

so that earth will still have a loss of 1 eu/t, moon will have a loss of 0.5 eu/t, and mars, asteroids, anything colder than -1 would have 0 loss.

Let me know what you think?
