I like the idea of a better processing array, but it should use the Europium in addition to the tungstensteel (similar to the fusion reactor upgrades), because otherwise it gets to easy, europium is quite cheap once you got a fusion reactor...

Sorry for spam:

We are 2 GT players, that are looking for a real hard Server with GT, we are 30 and 35 years old, we have played alot of GT the last couple years.

We are currently playing with 2-3 others on our own dedicated ubuntu server with beyond reality, but we could really use something harder, and more players..

Does anyone have an active server we could join? - we cant seem to find anything good on any forum..

If you dont mind other mods beside Gregtech you should try Infitech 2. Its balaced around Gregtech, so much harder than other packs where most of the hard stuff can be ignored. There is an official server which is quite active, there are sometimes over 12 people online at the same time.

Is there a reason only 1 fusion plasma works in the Plasma Arc Furnace?

Naquadah generates in Infitech, which is what im playing...

Without naquadah i wold recommend to build a small LuV plasma generator and directly hook it up. The internal storage of the reactor should be enough to keep the reactor running until your plasma generator kicks in, this first buffer filling could be dont with anything, even good old steam when you wait long enough...

I used a Naquadah reactor MK3 to produce my first plasma, after that a small plasma generator MK3. Now that my reactor runs 24/7 im using huge naquadah alloy turbines. I still have the question, what happens if my turbine durability runs out?

Do you still plan to add a lot of new stuff to 5.09 or do you want to make a feature freeze and polish it?

You can also hammer those plates together by hand

But yeah, higher durability turbines would be nice. What happens at the moment when a blade runs out? Does it disapear or remain with 0 durabillity? Im currently using anquadah alloy, even that doesnt last very long...

I have a suggestion regarding transformers:
How about advanced, harder to build transformers, that can transformup/down several voltage steps at once? Im planning my main powergrid to be UV, when i need an LV machine somewhere stuff begins to look stupid...

I think he is talking about the coolant of the 5^3 reactor. Different cooling fluids would be a great way to tier them and increase power output with better materials/machines...

You will find everything there, especialy why your efficency is so low.

If you have Thaumcraft installed Aluminium+Lithium is very easy. You can get both from clay, which you can duplicate using only water and cobblestone. The only "hard" thing is that you need 8 EBFs to melt the aluminium, but that shouldnt be an issue when you can build a MK2 reactor.

My current plans for our base use a dual MK3 setup, fueled by LI/Al. I will use 16 HV EBFs, the setup will produce over 512k eu/t. Most of that will be used to power a large UU-M plant, consisting of 25 HV Amplifabricators, 25 IV Massfabricators and 16 IV Replicators. Sadly those need so damn much Osmium that im building the same setup 2 voltage steps down just to produce it...

What determines how often i need to do maintainance on e.g. a EBF? Is it processed items, used energy, or simply time? Im interessted in overclocking EBFs for my aluminium/lithium fusion...

Will there still be turbines with 32000eu/t in a plasma generator? If yes i could design in peace and choose a new rotor later, at the moment i plan with huge naquadah alloy turbines...

Thanks, didnt know shutters also work with cables.

The oil cracking unit looks good, quite special compared to other machines.

I have a few questions about changes in 5.09 compared to 5.08.30, since im now designing my fusion power plant and i dont want to do it all over again:
Will you change anything in the multiblock structure?
Will you change anything in the recepies, e.g. used/produced power/materials?
Will you change something in the large plasma generator, e.g. rebalance the turbine blades?

Also im looking for something that can do the following:
I have one power source and 2 machines using it, only one can run at the same time. Can i somehow select (with redstone) which one will get the power other than directly enable/disable the machines? I want a railoroad switch for power.

Which Fusion recepie did you add in .30?
Did you read about my proplems regarding the Lava/Steam ratio in the LHE?

According to the wiki the LHE will use a maximum of 2000mb/s of Lava, and thats what i saw as its consumption rate...

It doesnt work with covers, sadly. My setup doesnt use any GT pipes anymore, those are to buggy:

The turbines now work at full power output, also theri input hatches arent filling up, so it seems that they work perfectly with 40000mb/s each as it should. But why do i get to much steam and have a loss of distilled water?

Quote from Blood Asp

That would need 4 IC2 fluid regulators.

Im still not sure how to do this, how do i get those 2000mb/t from the regulators to the input hatch? A huge toungstensteel pipe would have enough capacity, but the sloshing (is that a thing with a sinlge piece of pipe and 2 inputs/one output?) would greatly reduce the flow rate, wouldnt it?

Edit: I found a solution, now im using TC transvector interfaces. Now the turbines run at full power, but im still having to much steam and im loosing distilled water. It seems that the LHE is producing more SHS than is stated in the wiki...

The first issue i see here is that the two output hatches of the LHE do not evenly split steam

How am i supposed to solve this? There is nothing which can somehow deal with 80000mb/s...
