    While we can obtain many essential resources from agriculture, we cannot obtain them all. Some of the main objects missing are Tin, Copper, and Coal.

    The tin and copper plants would most likely be very similar to ferru.

    I was thinking the coal plant would be like melons, except it would drop coal.

    Sorry for lack of tier+recipes and what not, they just tend to annoy me and Al can think of a better way to do it anyway.

    Tin and Copperplants are planned, look at the Q/A-Thread, and Coal is supposed to be limited.

    The configchanges are no longer needed, since the addition of the Oredictionary in Forge.

    Only in multiplayer and then only at the Beginning, because I need the Coal for more Diamonds (Glassfibrecables), and i use Thaumcrafts Alumentum as Generatorfuel in Singleplayer.

    After that i use manned Watergens (with Redpower) and Lava for Energy, and my CASUCs are only for Massfabrication.

    This setup can be used to transfer 128EU/t, you will need to place every second transformers triple-dot side left and in the rest of them facing right."

    Yes, but it will increase losses for copper cable (*4, because of 128=32*4)

    Nope, there is absolutely NO Energyloss due to the Transformers. Oh and you clicked the wrong Quotebutton.

    Gunpowder is a renewable resource, so duh your argument is waste, as i said biofuel gives u more eu.

    Yes but TNT and Coalbased Fuel are much better for that.

    your saying tin cells cost 2000 Eu? and are worth 12000 eu that means in your calculation of burning the saplings instead, u have to add
    10000(12000-2000(unless u allready had that calculated into those 12000)), instead of 12000, which means biofuel is worth more even without gunpowder.

    You are talking mathematical Nonsense, ONE Tincell is worth 2000 EU, so SIX Tincells are worth 12000 EU, and it gets even more expensive if the Smelting and Macerationcosts are getting added.

    Even if all of your comment would make sense, it means we should either buff biofuel or nerf watermills?
    And you still did not give a reason why biofuel is nonrenewable.

    Actually Biofuel is only useful for the normal Jetpack, or if it's combined with Gunpowder (but Gunpowder is, as i said, needed for cool things, like TNT or Coalfuel, so its not worth it)

    I bet some people will not agree with you in "Solar Energy is useless"!

    These "some People" are Noobs, who also say that Solar is OP.

    I've experienced a couple of dunno-if-it's a bug using the chainsaw....

    the first is that the chainsaw don't harvest the rubber tree leaves (even if it does it with other mod's one so it might be intended)

    the second is that harvesting leaves with the chainsaw have still the chance of dropping saplings/apple If I can remember right doing so with the shears don't do it (if intended or can't helped cause base code editing double profit :D )

    I had even a bug with the drill not fast gathering soulsand but that seems to have been fixed some versions ago :thumbup:

    Fixed? (I use the Thaumcrafttools instead of the Industrial ones)

    1. Transporting Energy without energyloss is easiest by using batboxes and coppercable.

    2. Tin Cable is perfect for building large solar arrays, of course glass fibre is better but who gets alot of that.

    3. Burning saplings gives less energy than biofuel does, so why did you reply to this post??

    1. LV-Transformerchains are much better than Batboxes

    2. I already said that Solar is useless, so your Argument is useless too.

    3. If you are not using Gunpowderbased Superbiofuel (which is a waste of Gunpowder) then:
    8 Saplings = 2 Plantballs => 24 Saplings (= 6000 EU) to get 6 Plantballs so we got the first Cost of 24 Saplings
    6 Tincells (2000 EU) are worth 12000 EU in the Watermill when filled with FREE Water. now we got 18000 EU
    6 Compressoruses (625 EU) and 6 Extractoruses (313 EU) = 5628 EU. now we have 23628 EU
    6 uses of the Canner (600 EU according to Sourcecode) = 3600 EU. now we have 27228 EU

    - 24 Saplings = 6000 EU
    - 6 Tincells = 12000 EU
    - Machineuses = 5628 EU
    - Canneruses = 3600 EU
    = 27228 EU

    Biofuel is worth 26040 EU

    So finally Biofuel costs more Energy than it produces, only because of Tincells. I rather burn Saplings in a Generator and use the Tincells in my Watermills, than wasting my time on Biofuel. Also Biofuel is only for people, who dont want to waste their Coal for Jetpackfuel.

    Well batboxes, solar panels, tin cables, well why should i tell?

    All useless Stuff, Batboxes are Stoneage, Solarpanels are the WORST Generators of whole IC² and Tincables are so cheap that they doesnt count.

    My point is renewable resources should be absolutely renewable.
    I don`t care how, but UUM does not count.

    Then why do you use Biofuel? Its not worth it. Just throw your Sugarcanes/Cacti/Saplings into a Generator and you get more EU without wasting your precious Tin.
