Power Problems
« on: May 15, 2012, 11:33:50 pm »

So I was derping around with power and I made a power factory type thing but now I do not have anything to do with it, does anyone have any ideas that need power?

(I am using the genesis mod (.25))

The power is 1400 (using 470)

pump magma up from the sea, just for the practice, cause eventually you'll NEED to do it and it SUCKS doing it your first time when ya HAVE to get it right.
this is what they call one of those "good problems"

Make some minecart tracks and use powered rollers to move carts around.

Have them killed. Nothing solves a problem quite as effectively as simply having it killed.

Build a powered spiral track to transport magma from the sea in carts. Then, build a cannon shooting hyper-sonic minecarts loaded with magma and wooden war elephant cages.

Rollers.

@Footjob, you can microwave most grains I've tried pretty easily through the microwave, even if they aren't packaged for it.

Magma pump stack. Magma world flood device. Magma trade depot cleaner. Magma waterfall. Magma/water obsidian caster.  Magma waterfall.

All of the above in a single unit. Preferably with each function (and combination of functions) linked to an identical, unmarked lever in a control room easily accessible by friendly wildlife.

If you're feeling elfy, you can do all of the above (except the obsidian caster, obviously) with water instead.

Build a multi-purpose pump stack that can be switched between magma, empty and water as needed.

Rollers attached to a minecart. We need to see if its possible to replicate a loop on a roller coaster.
