Good way of charcoal to RF

Cbert opened this issue · 11 comments

I need a way to quickly burn charcoal to produce a lot of energy, and for this you can put a boiler and a turbine and many more Fuelwood Heaters, but since they work slowly, you have to put a lot of them, and this is not very good as you understand.
Can you add something that will make a good energy production on charcoal?

commented

You can tweak config option HeatPerFuelTick

Burn time is grabbed from the furnace registry in order to support all furnace fuels.

I don’t like this idea.
I need other option without unfair buff, may be similar to Gas-Burning Generator, which can scale its burning rate, so it actually produces same amount of energy per fuel. May be with some upgrade, perhaps. Or a new station, single block or multiblock.

unfair buff

What?

commented

That’s a lot of Fuelwood Heaters, they add little bit of lag too. 8kRF/t

What?

If you use “HeatPerFuelTick” you get more energy per each charcoal, right?
So charcoal burn same duration, but give more RF?

commented

Charcoal gives heat, not Rf in your setup.

My setup has Fuelwood Heaters -> Thermoelectric Boiler -> Industrial Turbine

Will you consider my request?
My request is, pleas add a way to quickly burn charcoal to produce a lot of energy in survival, without breaking balance and without cheating. But so that this does not require installing a large number of Fuelwood Heaters, to heat Thermoelectric Boiler, that will in its turn supply steam to Industrial Turbine.

commented

More heat -> more steam -> more RF

commented

@aidancbrady, yes this is the case.
I recently came up with this idea, for this you could, for example, use oxygen, it intensifies and accelerates combustion, if Fuelwood Heater would take oxygen and used it for example in some ratio of millibuckets per item it would be realistic, and the more oxygen is used, the more intense and faster the combustion will be.

commented

@Cbert, I’m guessing you mean faster charcoal processing time in the fuelwood heater rather than more energy per charcoal. If that’s the case, it wouldn’t be far out to add some kind of speed upgrade support. I’ll look into it!

look at the acceleration of burning https://youtu.be/zu7revUCefw?t=4m
