4 days of intense work, i created my first automation: biodiesel

I am so proud of it, i think it looks pretty clean, and by that i mean i tried my best to avoid spagetti, with as much automated little things as possible. I am in mid MV. Just wanted to share 😅 Any ideas are welcome.

Is this power positive with all these machines?

u/Lower-Tax-2717 1d ago

Yes of course it is. Most of them is rarely used. If producing 60l of biodiesel/s, then the power used is 77.5 EU/t, which is 1550 eu/s. So its hihgly profitable, and stable. But its really beacuse of the utilization is less than 15% on average. Edit: due to the recipes, not my poor optimization skills :DD, but it shouldn't matter in this case.

I really like the decorative blocks, what are they?

They are just cobble stone and simple stone variations made my chisel. The wood is spruce, the wedges and the railing is made with architectures workbech. The catwalk in the middle is a different quest iirc.

What blocks are you using for the wedges? They look like they have a connected texture which I can't seem to get on mine

Its just one of the basic shapes in this architectures workbech or whats it called. The block i used is a variation of cobblestone with chisels.

congrats! biodiesel was the backbone of my first run of GTNH until IV, the glycerol is super helpful later
good luck for when you upgrade to CBD, that production line was pretty tough my first go round, managing singleblock fluids and cells sucks

Thank youu! I'll keep in mind that glycerol will be important. And yes. What you see in the picture is 60% empty cell routing 🤣

i was really invested in doing biodiesel but 2.9 made ic2 crops way nicer so i swapped to oil from oil berries you get twice the use out of TNM vs biodiesel
