    Hi all. I'm really like thorium, and automatisation. And i like small count of reactors (because of automatisation) and big counts of EU (because...never mind). So i'm using this one if i have no a lot of copper input, this, if i have copper (or this to get more EU at a time) or this, if i have recourses for it.
    I can't imagine how to improve efficiency of it without reduction of power output. And i think, it's can be a way for it.

    What is important is Efficiency, you can set up multiple reactors with the same number of thorium cells total and you get higher output total. And did you test them all in G.L.A.D-OS?

    To add to narc's words, I quoted this from the BTW forums, however, it is slightly harsher.


    Remember to always put your crash reports in spoiler tags, like this: [ spoiler]<text>[/spoiler] (without the space in front of the first tag.)


    And, always update to the latest version (i.e. Buildcrash 3.2.2) before reporting bugs.

    Is this designed to replace Buildcraft or work alongside it?


    Greg's signature says "Automation without buildcrash", and it does implement autocrafting tables and item insertion/extraction from chests, but it's missing the pipes that make buildcraft what it is. So is GregTech designed to supplant Buildcraft?

    Translocator look cooler than dingy pipes and magical gold-covered pipes that speed up items floating through it.

    I've been crashing whenever I updated Miscperipherals to 2.1 from 2.0b. I contacted RichardG about it. He told me to contact you as the GregTech mod appears to modify the uranium class somehow? Rendering it null? Here is my crash log -> http://pastebin.com/bCjheNgY.


    Here is the quote from RG ->
    JZTech101: i had a look at the code
    appears uranium is null


    i blame gregtech because gregtech overrides uranium

    Not true. GregTech doesn't override Uranium, except in a previous version where it's damage value was stored in NBT.


    Error to report. The industrial electrolyzer WILL eat all stored energy in an energy storage unit (in my case MFE) if it doesn't explicitly receive the input voltage it's requesting. In my case I was attempting to electrolyze some bauxite dust with 3 other machines in-line before the electrolyzer running. I had over 400k EU stored in the MFE. The electrolyzer sucked the MFE dry and did not complete its recipe. (Long time lurker finally decided to register).

    Intended. Change setting in Config File, it's called ContinuousEnergy or something like that. You should know that if you're a lurker.

    My advice is to do either one of the following:

    • Skip ahead until you're near endgame and start using the Fusion Reactor.
    • Carve out the Nether and swallow all it's lava for EU. Don't just look in the Overworld - the Nether's your friend.
    • Look up SpwnX's WindGen tutorial in the Tutorial Section, it's in the first thread by GregTech - look at post #6. That beast can generate tons of EU.
    • Biomass-Energy Generation. Continue later.
    • Okay, so you want to stick with your regular generator approach. Continue ahead.


    Section I - Peat-Methane Combustion
    Assuming default FTB settings (untouched) then peat will generate 4000 EU per piece.
    4000 EU in a Generator takes 4000 / 10 = 400 ticks = 20 s to deplete.
    Hence, you will need 1 peat supplied every 20 s.
    The development of peat from bog earth is a random time; however, using a MystCraft age with a significant amount of Accelerated symbols (will cause age unstability!) will boost the speed of peat production.
    To obtain Bog Earth, use Carpenters powered by water and an engine of your choice. (Possibly Electrical + sockets powered by Solar or Wind). This will require mulch. Mulch is the byproduct of moistening dirt and wheat to produce Mycelium. The Mycelium can also be used, in 2 ways:

    • Centrifuging (Industrial Centrifuge) of 64 Mycelium --> 16 mushrooms of each type + sand + clay. Mushrooms can be centrifuged 32 at a time to produce methane cells, which can be burnt in a generator to produce EU.
    • Using the Mycelium to power Mushroom Farms, to produce Mushrooms to produce methane cells. More streaky and luck-based.


    Section II - Apiarist's Upgrade
    Meddle around with bees a little and try to breed Diligent Bees. Read the spoiler to know the exact way.


    Centrifuge (Forestry Centrifuge) Silky Combs (Tropical) --> Honey Drops + Silky Propolis
    Centrifuge (Forestry Centrifuge) Silky Propolis --> Propolis + Silk Wisp (Can be used to make Apiarist's Clothes. When you have a full suit they negate all bee effects)
    Centrifuge (Forestry Centrifuge) Stringy Combs (Industrious Branch) --> Honey Drops + Propolis.


    Craft propolis, ash and peat together to get Bituminous Peat, which produces even MOAR EU.

    • Otherwise, you can use Biomass to produce EU. Dump all plant mass you have with a Fermenter, add Fertilizer (Apatite + Sand) or Compost (Dirt + Wheat) to produce Biomass and burn all that delicious Biomass in a bio generator into EU.
