This is another secret recipe.
I understand having them and I'm cool with them, as well as not allowing them in the thread. But his not wanting them on the wiki is where it gets stupid. And his threat of not having them at all is even stupider.
… Sometimes you need to pull out the nuclear threat. Even if you don't really intend to use it.
The secret recipes are intended to be Easter eggs. It is within the mod creator's prerogatives to insist that deliberate secrets remain, y'know,
secret.
Anyone who really wants to find them all can just install the Recipe Book mod. (Everyone should be aware of it, it's on the
Modloader thread OP which you have to read to get IC running.) If they can't manage that, they can ask for spoilers via PM.
There are utter
idiots in the IC thread. And people deliberately trolling, pretending to be idiots.
Sometimes you need a
big stick to get the point across.
Edit:
I do wonder how much power actual fuel gives over coal. I could cook logs to make endless coal fuel(Which would eat into my already pain in the ass tree harvesting for rubber problems), or go through the process of making actual fuel(Factoring in the cost of running the compressor three times and the extractor once) for my generators.
By my math, there is a net gain of 233% per fuel can, with non-EU losses of 3 coal (important resource) and 5 tin (not important resource in the long run, but important when getting started).
Assuming the all-coal recipe:
- 2.5 * 153 EU to mine 2.5 tin ore with a mining drill.
- (Assuming 10,000 EU = 65 blocks, needs to be verified.)
- 2.5 * 625 EU to macerate 2.5 tin ore into 5 tin dust.
- 5 * 313 EU to electric-furnace 5 tin dust into 5 tin ore.
- 3 * 153 EU to mine 3 coal with a drill.
- 3 * 625 EU to macerate 3 coal into 3 coal dust.
- 3 * 625 EU to compress 3 hydrated coal dust into 3 compressed hydrated coal dust.
- 1 * 313 EU to convert (extract) the clumpy fuel can to a usable fuel can.
For a total of 8032 EU.
3 coal gives 3 * 4000 EU = 12,000 EU in a generator.
1 fuel can gives 48,000 EU in a generator.
48,000 EU (resulting energy content) - 8032 EU (processing cost) - 12,000 EU (original energy content) = 27,968 EU (net gain in energy content).
27,968 / 12,000 * 100% = 233%.
I'd stick to charcoal, even before I get a chainsaw running.
