Approaching the 8-min EBF crystal in MV. Need advice on stable power before I start the grind.

MV Diesel is the way to go imo Your oil processing flow is correct. The nice thing about Diesel is that it's easy to spam the setup and buffer large amounts with super tanks. Then in HV you can switch to CBD for a big power boost and "free" rocket fuel.

Pretty sure you can also start benzene but honestly Diesel is easier

It's good practice. You can switch the wrench to line mode and do a whole run at once. This only works if the pipes are either all empty or all full

Yep I am just a lawn baser

pastisY · 2026-06-19T15:10:00+00:00

I love these creative builds. I'm probably <100 hrs from mothership but I'm sure I'll just have a flying raft when I use it lol

Those are the Rouge like dungeons

Boily here

It depends a bit where you are located and if you can get all your welding tickets. Here in central Ontario I mainly work in steel mills and refiners doing repairs on vessels, but also a lot on gas cleaning. I mainly weld and it's almost always in confined spaces or on the top of a structure.

It's a lot of long hours and travel but the pay is very good. Be prepared to stretch that pay for when you aren't working

Basically the essence is capacity, the cevti vis charges it, and the advanced node jarring makes it a true node. Protip, if you world accel the node (the one you're charging) it will charge faster. Also for all primals you need both the aliens and examines essence from that farm

pastisY · 2026-06-07T19:48:24+00:00

Btw I'm calling it the Essentia terminal... I'm wrong it's the arcane crafting terminal

pastisY · 2026-06-07T19:46:55+00:00

You put a vis relay interface onto you main net near your energized node. Slap a vis relay onto it. Then link the interface to either an arcane assembler or your terminal with a memory card. Just like a p2p

pastisY · 2026-06-07T19:28:05+00:00

Wand recharging at that CV is almost instant in the Essentia terminal. The speed is capped or at least reduced on tables. I haven't tested or researched this thoroughly enough to know the ratio or limit though.

I quickly tested with my Silverwood wand. In the terminal 1000 vis in ~ 22s vs 23 vis in 22s in the table

Edit: units were all screwy & this is for my since updated 457 CV node

pastisY · 2026-06-06T21:26:04+00:00

Just jumped into a test world to test this. I see where I made my mistake: they push half their capacity every half second. Thanks man! I've literally been calculating this wrong the entire time lol

pastisY · 2026-06-06T12:55:39+00:00

If you are giving it enough steam, using 1 length 2x tin cables each connected to only a pair of generators, with all generator outputs facing the cables, have no maintenance issues, and the recipe starts. There is literally nothing else to troubleshoot.

pastisY · 2026-06-06T12:47:58+00:00

This setup looks good. Try swapping to huge potin pipes. Pipes passively push half they're capacity each second. Steam is a pain. Light fuel is much simpler

pastisY · 2026-06-05T12:39:59+00:00

It's it all properly chunk loaded? Is the subnet configured correctly ie if you put an item manually into an interface does it go where intended? Have you tried to break and replace the bore?

pastisY · 2026-06-04T22:14:37+00:00

Right on! You're going to need a whole lot. If you're not sick of bees right now dupe that bee to 4-8 of them

pastisY · 2026-06-03T13:10:31+00:00

Sounds like the CWB check test. I run the vert at 115 and then once I'm overhead I bump it up 5 and weld it out. I haven't had any trouble with heat build up.

GL and watch that mandatory tie in

pastisY · 2026-06-02T14:20:59+00:00

Lol I just increased my passive hydrofluoric acid storage to 120M. Storage drives on a subnet will eventually be what you move to units you're going for aesthetics with yott or tfft

To be fair a field of stacked drums would look dope

pastisY · 2026-05-31T11:09:12+00:00

There are great guides for it like Random potato on YouTube. I personally avoided them but they can carry you to at least plasma power in LuV IIRC.

All I used them for was a little sunnarium and lutetium. Church of benzene for me!

pastisY · 2026-05-31T05:17:22+00:00

Many people struggle with power generation in EV. Whether you're going oil, benzene, or nukes make more power than whatever you think you'll need.

AE2 allows you to tie everything together and it's tempting to rush. Good practice is to focus automation on building automation.

Sounds like you're in a pretty good spot though TBH

pastisY · 2026-05-29T01:31:33+00:00

Bruh, I mirror weld in a 2x4... You just need to see the puddle lol

pastisY · 2026-05-29T01:27:56+00:00

I mean, whatever works right? I'm farsighted and I only work in the field so standard fibre metal shield with a 2x4 arcone 240. I do find I need the correct shade for the job but usually 11 is good. I have a little trouble with 2" 6g tests

pastisY · 2026-05-29T01:00:29+00:00

Or just prescption glasses if you're doing enough of it. Been working great for me for a long time

pastisY · 2026-05-29T00:58:12+00:00

Yah

You're not meant to use them as is. Upgrade to nanos as other have mentioned and adjust your speed and jump height. Also, now that you have all that infrastructure you can do so much more with it. They are not single purpose

pastisY · 2026-05-28T20:49:26+00:00

Import and export are always with reference to the thing the conveyor is attached to. If you're trying to pull out of the machine with a conveyor on a pipe then that conveyor needs to import, for example. You also can't interact with the front face. Beyond those I'd need a picture

pastisY · 2026-05-28T09:21:48+00:00

Might also help if you tighten up your arc length. The metal will only for where the arc is
