EU Power Provider has too large capacity
zxexuxs opened this issue ยท 4 comments
I use v0.9.3.69 and the provider has capacity of 40.000.000 EU while the RF Provider has only 10.000.000 which doesnt make sense :)
I looked up in your wiki which states it should be 1.000.000
I dont know if it really is a bug or an outdated wiki page but at least the rf provider should have the larger capacity
Keep in mind, Most machines in IC2 require Ridicioulous amounts of Power especially with Upgrades. E.g. a Macherator with 8 Upgrades takes more than 1K EU PER TICK! Wich means 20x that amount PER SECOND.
Rarely do ANY RF using machines take That Much. Plus RF is much easier to Generate.
If i am not mistaken this is the calculation for the power demand:
basepower * 1.6^(number of O. upgrades)
=>2*1.6^8=86 eu/t which is far away from 1000 eu/t
For this value you would need 14 upgrades.
Lets make an example:
you want to process the ore from a quarry. So it doesnt matter how much one machine consume but all the machines together and therefore only the needed energy / item is important:
(i will only calculate for pulerizer vs. macerator)
The most ores need 4000RF = 400 eu
Macerator needs 625 eu
With max upgrade Pu. will need 1000eu per item (Speed: 1.6 / s)
To match that speed you need 9 upgrades and end up with 1733 eu per item
So the macerator only need 73% more energy than the pulverizer.
IC2 machines ( UU-Stuff excluded) dont need as much power as you think :)
=> 40 Mio eu are too much imo :)
Please review your numbers and include also the full ic2 processing line vs the full term all expansion line.
