I just discovered IC^2 a couple of days ago, and have been enjoying it a lot!
I've been thinking about getting a good, easily movable Miner set up. What is the best way of doing this? I tried using Geothermal and Lava Cells from the Miner, but the amount of Lava it was producing weren't enough to keep it running.
I was thinking of having a large solar park in a desert somewhere, that charges Energy Crystals. Then I need the following for one moveable Miner setup:
- Miner (w/Diamond Drill and OV Scanner)
- Pump
- (2x Chest)
- MFE Unit
- LV Transformer
I haven't done the calculations to see how many Solar Panels are needed to keep this up and running, but I think Energy Crystals can store enough energy that I don't need to change them too often. Any other suggestions?
In my opinion there should be a better Tech 1 mobile energy storage than batteries, because running a Miner with a Diamond Drill and OV Scanner on RE Batteries isn't a viable alternative.
