In a older version of DW20, I could have some magma crucible with netherrack make enough lava to power dozens and dozens of redstone + lava generators, that powered my whole me system and several normal quarries at the same time.

 

Now we got ender quarry and capacitors that I want to work with, but I'm having issues find a power supply to fill the needs, esp when a ender quarry can take 300k tick, maybe even more.

 

I'm trying to mess with what I did before, but I think it got nerfed somehow.

 

Overall, how do I produce mass power, like nearly 1mill a tick, that can be done legit.

1 million RF/t? Yikes... What would you need that much for?

 

To answer your question... I guess Extra Utility's Nether star generator will work. You would need twelve running constantly, and that would take a production of twelve nether stars every ten seconds.

 

Otherwise, I'd say 20 big reactors, each able to produce 50k RF/t. Unfortunately, that takes a lot of resources. You can check various designs' efficiency here: http://br.sidoh.org/#reactor-prompt

 

Really, there's no good way to produce that much power that fast. You may have to run your ender quarry at lower speeds, or swap the fortune 3 block that I assume you are using for a silk touch block, then throw the resulting ores into a sag mill or other ore processor.

 

EDIT: With that link I gave you, I was able to simulate a 1 million RF/t reactor. It was 29x29x46 internal, using a checkerboard pattern of control rods and graphite in the center, going 6 blocks in each direction, and the rest filled with liquid ender. That came to a total of 50,551 charcoal, 123,648 enderpearls, 31,160 iron, 5,922 yellorium ingots, 86 redstone, and one diamond, just for the internal + the controller. It uses .179 ingots of yellorium per tick, and there's all the reactor glass and power taps and storage to worry about too. That's... very expensive.

There's always ReactorCraft to consider. If you get past the math that makes it work, a 1 million Rf/tick reactor is quite feasible.


1.6 modpack? Download Java 7 here. 1.7.10+? Download Java 8 here.

I like the solar panels from galacticraft or its windmills.
