niqf Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Today I will attempt to teach you how to setup a system so that you may power whatever it is you may need. For the purpose of teaching, this will be done in a creative gamemode. We will be using the most efficient power source in the game, which is Biofuel. Biofuel is the "Smelted" produce that gets made from the BioReactor. The Biofuel is then fed into Biofuel Generators where it will be harnessed into a suitable form of power. This system is made up of three different parts. There is the Sewage, Farm, and the Generators. Each parts plays a key role in this system and will allow it to function properly. The materials you will need include. Planter Harvester Composter Sewers (10 or less should work) Fertilizer (The machine) BioReactor Biofuel Generator 32 Redstone Conduits (Suggested) 32 Liquiducts (Suggested) 32 Stone Transport Pipes 1 Diamond Transport Pipe 2 Insertion Pipes (Purple Coloured) 4 Iron Transport Pipes The list above is a comprised of the key components for this build! To get started you want to have a 7x7 setup with a frame setup around it (Block of your choice). It should look like this. http://i.imgur.com/iQCIkx8.png Following that you want to dig a two deep whole in the centre of this and place a Planter within the hole. Following that you want to place the Harvester on the wood frame that is aligned with the Planter. When that is done you want to dig away and setup something that resembles the following images. http://i.imgur.com/QdgVcNK.png http://i.imgur.com/kjDGMSu.png http://i.imgur.com/ujgoWpO.png The BioReactor and the Biofuel Generator should be positioned like this with a Liquiduct connecting the two to allow the reactor to drain the fuel into the generator. A Insertion Pipe must be hooked up under the Planter and the BioReactor. This will allow the items to travel on should the machine be filled up already. After the Planter the pipes should lead to the BioReactor and should lead into the chest should everything be filled already. The piping is now done and we can safely move onto the wiring of this system. The wiring should look like the screenshot this. http://i.imgur.com/ZyzhoOO.png Be sure that the Fertilizer and the Composter are in place like the image above. The farm part is now done, you could just leave it this way if you'd like. However, without the fertilizing part it will be slow and may not support your system fully. You could make a larger farm by using Upgrades but that won't be necessary seeing as it won't be as efficient. At this point the farm should look cleaned up and look like the image below. Now we may get to work on making an area for the animals. http://i.imgur.com/wx15LNh.png There are two ways you could go about this. Either you make one Sewer and give it a far ranged upgrade or make the whole ground in which the animals will stand on all sewers. The more logical solution would be the one sewer with a far ranged upgrade. If you were to make the ground all Sewers it would gain much more poop and hence, make your production rate much faster. Seeing as this will be a floor full of Sewers you'd want to line the bottom with Liquiducts and connect it to the Composter. Following that you want to place the Sewers as the image below will show. http://i.imgur.com/nnQQKAy.png Next step is to go get some kind of animal in there. You can get any kind but either pigs or cows would be suggested seeing as they apparently poop more. An easy way to do this would be using Safari Nets seeing as they can trap a mob inside it for a long period of time before it dies. You want a nice full area that is filled with animals in order to max out your poop production rate. http://i.imgur.com/qM2deO7.png The link above is the final product, all there is left to do is finish it up. Now that everything is in place you want to go make yourself some Upgrades, 3 Iron Upgrades to be exact. There will be one inside the Planter, Harvester, and Fertilizer (The machine). http://i.imgur.com/HDXOXvy.png The image above is what the Upgrade should look like in the machine. The planter in the image above was configured to allow every third to grow a different type of produce. That can be configured with the colourful square to the left. The blocks with the produce are to help regulate the amount the planter will take in. All that is left to do is throw in some type of produce into the BioReactor to start making BioFuel so that power can be generated. http://i.imgur.com/m1FjXkh.png The image above shows how the configuration of the Diamond Pipe should be set up. Wheat should go directly to the chest while the rest go down so that they can feed the Planter and BioReactor. To harness the power you want to connect Redstone Conduits to the Biofuel Generator. I think that pretty much covers it. Here is the look at the final product. http://i.imgur.com/fAQaTah.png This forum post is so colourful Thank you for your time. -Tekkit Judge Niqf Fantomele, Soillimenog, Andrew2070 and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheResonantGamer Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 One problem.... on craftersland tekkit launcher harvesters are banned, anything u can use instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danielkinz Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Dont worry, on the next update the will be unbanned. they are banned for crashing the server, but on the Next version of MFR they will be fixed. on FTB its should be fixed already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niqf Posted March 17, 2014 Author Share Posted March 17, 2014 I was forced to face the mod that I am weak in, Steve's Carts. It is actually not as hard as it seems, all that is required is a cart of choice and the modules you want the cart to have. Very similar to upgrading your Power Armour, the only difference is that it is on a cart. I was running a cart with a farmer, fertilizer, and hydrator. Following that was a solar engine, coal engine, and tanks for water. This setup seems to run fine and it can be a good replacement for the harvester.

MairixLV Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 I dont know if it still happens but long time ago when i was playing direwolf20 1.4.7 steve's carts dissapierd after a restart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dexwarrior Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 sorry for the thread bumping, but i want to say that using stuff like wheat (and just use the 1-2 seeds u get per fertilizer) is not very efficient. I prefer mushrooms (up to 20 Mushrooms per fertilizer) or a skeletonfarm (6 bonemeal with pulverizer per skeleton) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niqf Posted April 4, 2014 Author Share Posted April 4, 2014 I know this way is inefficient but it still works. This was a basic tutorial for biofuel, I was going to release one that was advanced later seeing as it has ME systems incorporated into it. Another thing, there is no need for a biofuel farm anymore due to certain circumstances. Apparently, if you put milk or mushroom soup directly into the biofuel generators, they will work. This can be done by having a hole with cows and having a rancher milk them, therefor getting milk for all your generators. Update: The milk and mushroom method no longer works, harvesters are now unbanned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niqf Posted June 27, 2014 Author Share Posted June 27, 2014 The setup does not really matter, it all revolves around how much biofuel is made for the amount of biofuel generators you plan to use. Each biofuel generator pumps out 160RF/T and consumes biofuel rather slowly, I have around 355 of them running in my base and it gets the job done. You do not need that many however, just three of them can power a quarry at near max capacity. A recommended amount is anywhere from 10-30. Keep in mind that you do not need that many biofuel reactors, I only use two and that fills up all 300 something of my biofuel generators with no problems and with much more fuel to spare.

Maxstripe Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 well if i start pumping ur free fuel again there will be none to spare lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew2070 Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Nice tutorial, I reccomend using magmatic dynamos, a magma crucible and alot of netherack to fuel them. They give alot of energy, may not be as efficient. But i used them as backup energy. Also try using a miniture BigReactor. Can power a base for an hour Max. It managed to sustain my entire castle and only one laser drill setup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
