most efficient way to transport power


Recommended Posts

I personally like geothermal generators A LOT. A single geothermal generator can power up two electrical engines with ease, which is quarry speed enough for me. One lava cell is 20k energy, one stack is 1.28 million EU, easy to carry. Really cheap too as soon as you've found a lava lake or three.

Well, the alternative is mfsus and lapotron crystals. But its the best cable, if thats what youre asking. It all depends on volune though, how much power you actually need. For a single quarry id rather bring an mfsu and a lapotron crystal or five but thats just me.

You can totally eliminate the energy loss by placing a storage object every 39 blocks. This way, you won't lose anything. Plus, one economic way would be to make this :

Base Energy Storage>>>LV transformer>>>batbox>>>39 glass fibre>>>batbox>>>39 gf>>>batbox>>>etc until your electrical engines.

This way, you don't have to make masses of expensive MFSU's for nothing.

Yeah, but energy storage for two stacks of glass fibre means cost will be up to:

128/6*2=42 +

3*4=12

54 diamonds, and the result is medium voltage. For high voltage, it'd be 72 diamonds as well as a ton of other stuff.

I'm not sure if efficiency just meant minimal energy loss or also cost efficiency, but due the comment on two stacks of glass fibre I assumed cost was also a matter. But seriously, I think an mfsu and like 5 charged lapotrons (total cost 15 diamonds) is MUCH more efficient and should be enough power even for a large quarry like that. And a lot easier to set up, much more compact.

you can also use a geothermal, some tanks, and a teleport pipe and then you have a setup you can move, scale, and run multiple quarries remotely if you want at probably the lowest cost possible.

I don't know about others, but my experience gave me this habit of avoiding teleport pipes like plague, they keep bugging out or forgetting their frequencies in my world.

I've honestly never experienced bugs with mine. Even adding a pump and lots of direct piping I'd still go geo.
