Euphoreich Posted May 14, 2013 Posted May 14, 2013 I can't find any numbers on this. Also on a tangent why is it called a biofuel generator shouldn't it be called the bioreactor since it is reacting the biofuel? And shouldn't the biofuel generator being the one generating biofuel?
Neowulf Posted May 14, 2013 Posted May 14, 2013 Make a single player creative world and test it. If you can post your results and/or add the info to the wiki I'm sure people would be thankful.
Gerhard Posted May 14, 2013 Posted May 14, 2013 It is a generator which runs on biofuel. Hence, a biofuel generator.

I assumed it was the same as forestry's, I guess not.
Neowulf Posted May 14, 2013 Posted May 14, 2013 Now you've got your answer and now so does everyone else who was curious. This was good science.

After measuring it, biofuelgenerators seem to create 15.2 MJ/tick 2.5 times quicker than a combustion engine running on fuel. One bucket of biofuel will produce 152000 MJ.
Euphoreich Posted May 14, 2013 Author Posted May 14, 2013 So relative to combustion engines, their fuel is cheaper, they run 2.5 times faster, they don't randomly explode, and don't require constant water. That's makes it tekkits top tier engine I guess.
Calvariae Posted May 14, 2013 Posted May 14, 2013 Combustion engines run a lot longer than that I believe; one bucket of fuel should net you 600,000 MJ at 6 MJ/t. A total of 83.333 minutes of power. Edit: Given Euphoreich's numbers, a biofuel generator will only give you 8.333 minutes of power - albeit at a much higher MJ/s rate.
