I want to make this thread to share about how I generate my power and for other people to share their ideas as well, screenshots are nice
1.2.5 :
- Water strainers + aqueous accumulators
Efficient, renewable, cheap, powerful
- Geothermal generator + collector-condenser
Efficient++, renewable, recipe is ok, powerful++
1.4.7 :
- 2 Redstone engines on a magma crucible fed by a igneous extruder producing cobble, the magma extruder outputs lava in a GT thermal generator ( the redstone engines we're nerfed and didn't produced energy anymore at that time, except if you used it on thermal expansion machines or miner/pump, but it was very slow, but at least you got energy from redstone, from a flip of a lever )
Efficiency average ( was good for an infinite backup energy source in case MFR harvester-planters tree farm loop suddenly stopped due to a big tree, at least this is how I used it ), renewable, cheap, low power gen
- Fuel factory from BC + fuel generators
Very efficient early to mid-end game, not renewable though unless you used bees, cost is ok, powerful+
- Biofuel factory
Very efficient early to mid-end game, renewable if you use MFR farms ( and renewable with Forestry farms IF you had a macerator+product of the tree farm making infinite dirt and a macerator+igneous extruder making infinite sand and using this sand to convert it into saltpeter ore thanks to saltpeter spawners in desert and deployers-block breakers from RP2 then process everything and make fertilizer, it's definitively possible, as I did it, but too much hassle and I do not recommend it ^ ^'' ), cost is ok, powerful+
- Fusion reactor aka the holy GT grail
Efficient+++++, renewable, GRAG LEVEL EXPENSIVE, powerful+++++
1.5.2 :
- Factorization solar boilers + steam generators
Very efficient early to mid game, renewable, cost is from cheap to expensive, powerful
1.6.4 :
- EE3 EMC condenser + igneous extruder feeding charcoal to a generator
Very efficient, renewable, cost is ok, powerful
1.7.10 :
- The old Geothermal generator + collector setup except using mekanism heat generator or GT reborn Thermal generator for more efficiency
Efficient+++, renewable, cost is ok, powerful+++
- Heat generators
Efficient, renewable, cheap, powerful
