Doing some maths with the fusion reactors. The reactors put out 300k EU @ 30eu/tick, which means they last for 10k ticks. The isotope separator draws 5eu/tick and requires 512 eu for one operation. That means it takes 103ticks per operation of the separator, which translates to a fuel cell every 1030 ticks. This pretty much says that 1 separator can run almost 10 reactors non-stop given an endless supply of tin and an automatic crafting area. This is amazing, because the 10 reactors operations (without scrap) produce 3 uu matter, which makes 5 tin ore, turns into 10 tin, which turns into 40 cells. Which is twice the amount put in. This thing literally doubles it's potential energy every cycle of the reactors. Pretty nifty stuff

(Mind you, it takes either intense micro or automation using buildcraft, as rp2 cannot pull from the empty cell slot of the separator)

I accept your challenge though buildcraft bucketfiller addon and additional pipes will be used

You cannot use other mods as a argument in balancing IC2. Maybe in the form of a addon.

I got over 100 eu/tick pretty often with 36 windgens. Highest i have seen was 132 eu/tick. Its simple maths through. 36*4 = 144. So i havent even seen the max output yet.

Ive been trying to use but how do you space the mills out for yours setup?

i think when you make the adv geo gen it should be the most expensive adv gen, the geo gen can already make 10E/U per tick,or just make it much more effecient with its fuels to not make OP.Even though if it is really expensive when i get this later on it'll make turning my many geo gens adv difficult

for the passenger rocket can we just have landing pads like, set this rocket to pad 5 or whatever.To get the exact coords down is kind of trial and error sometimes though i guess this longer distance fix would cause the tele to be obsolete.

OMG!
I'm so installing this on my server when it's released! If you make all the stuff you listed this would be the BEST ADDON EVER
would be honored to make sprites to this mod, just say what needs to be done
i just have to attach this:

(insert brony reference here)haha your pictures jumping on top of my comment.

Lots of debate here.

As a major user of Geo gens and solar panels, I don't have much room to speak, but I have begun setting up a small water plant using Buildcraft and the Bucket Filler. At the moment all it does is power a miner and a recycler, and with only 2 water mills at the moment, it can only take a basic drill. (It produces an excess, very slowly though. ~4 EU/t consumed by ~3EU/t) I'm going to keep building it up until I can run a diamond drill in it 24/7.

Also at the moment it seems like Buildcraft and IndustrialCraft stuff doesn't want to get along. I can only pull and push buckets into/out of my watermills (in the correct spot) from the top. Anyone else having this problem?

use zeldos tele pipes/additional pipes addon,it has an advanced wood pipe which can pull a specific item like the empty bucket from any point of the machine though i dont see what real problem pulling from top is.

Long as you use BC an automated bucket filling and loading pipe system works very nice for static power, without any other sub-mods. At a constant 2eu each the water mill is nice in the deep mines. I have been using this system for ages now.

I have a 24 mill 2 pump system that I use to charge the MSFU in my mining area. This allows me to recharge all my gear & tools when I need to unload resources. The lava I find gets converted to cells or pumped out via pipes for other uses.

When I get home I'll get some shots here. As others have stated, each form of power has it's pros/cons. The simple fact that we can create infinite water and throw down water mills anywhere at any time makes them perfectly balanced the way they are. When I go looking for a new oil reserve I always carry a few mills and a batbox to get the new drill site started. I do this as many times while exploring I find cave systems or abandoned mines and need to recharge gear on the fly.

My only complaint is how loud the noise is on them, to the point that I removed the .ogg for the mill.

or have an inv full of buckets and the mobile pump mod and go to nether, place buckets in big hole and use geo gens so that water mill system can be a 10 E/U per tick per geo generator i dont know why at first i made a water mill system.

Quote from Ghosti

A simple doubling of the unmanned watermill output (from 0.010 to 0.020) would make me a very happy creeper. I need energy underground that will be generated without any resources (im building a foolproof unmanned bunker) and the current unmanned output is just ridiculous.

Edit:nvm

thx rick for that sweet design

how come it says i am not whitelisted i checked and it says i am on this thread

I'm getting this error when on modern craft IC2 server

Internal exception: java.io.IOException: String length of whatever number is higher than the max (65535)

Happening over and over,it sometimes works for some minutes but then it happens again.

Also sometimes something like bad packet id error occurs.

Using a clean minecraft jar

Yes i know this is java jargon,im just getting crazy with this constant problem

woooooo un unwhitelisted who was griefer anyway

thank you for 1.8 update now i can effeciently use that charcoal factory of use 

Am i a suspect for the griefing because those one or two days newer did not get temp off white list.

Prolly cuz i said in app ive been banned

My ign is gecomol played minecraft almost a year and was using industrial craft around the or something.Sadly i have to say I've been banned from a server.My last statement probably doesn't help but i will follow the rules.

Quote from may19c19

i am thinking about hosting a small IC2, BC and Redpower sever 24/7
what i was thinking was only 10people on the whitelist then no more no cheats/spawning so a 100%legit sever and the 10 working on making a amazing IC2 city if any1 is interested let me know
might even have a vlog of the city from start to fin and upload them up2 a youtube channel any input on this let me know

Can i volunteer.

Quote from killerbeez

Industrial Rage will have a contest to celebrate IC2 and the new map, giving out free whitelist.

So how many people are you talking about 1, 10 free white-list or will it be a limited time thing.
(I'm guessing not free white-list just in case griefers see their chance once again .
