Nomifactory CEu Ep. 9: The Steam Grinder Is AWESOME! 

Nice progress! EBF incoming!

Seeing as now the EBF is close, here's a few tips Read the quest about the steam conversion kit, it'll tell you how to make around 320rf/t with your current steam dynamo setup (To comfortably run the EBF, you'll need 512rf/t). You'll want to keep the EBF running as much as possible, so considering adding more dynamos to meet the 512rf/t power requirement, but you'll also need the dust to cook, which for the moment will be aluminium, and you can get infinite aluminium dust from clay electrosis, and clay is made from cobbleworks (check back on the processing lines quests). With the assembling machine, there's actually cheaper recipes for the circuit parts (cheaper resistors, boards etc...) so definitely start using those recipes. These are the main things that I can think of right now.

Woo, the most useful steam multi is here, imo. Recommend getting another one bc even with 8 in parallel it can still be slow. Thankfully, mining wont be a big thing once you reach MV. Pulsating Polymer Clay (PPC), iirc does need 1 MV chemical reactor, so you are gated by MV regardless. The questbook still put the quest there because you can get it, well, only simulation chamber really, but still. EBF is, probably the single most used multiblock in the game. Probably. Used from here to smelt almost every advanced ingot from gregtech. The coils are important, not just for the multi but it also allow more heat to smelt higher dust, and provide perfect overclock + energy discount. The questbook i think tell you about these, so I wont say it here. Though, a general rule of thumb, 1 coil set for an EBF is 2 stack of ingot for the wire + extra ingot for foil and fluid (the fluid take 1 ingot per coil each)

Nice work! For conduits you have to think of the 2 sides (input/output) as completely independent. So you don't have to change the color code of the output side or activate it when you want to input something. Very helpful if you want to input and extract something from the same side.

You do not have to have a programmed circuit in your hand to set the circuit in the machines. Just click up or down on the circuit number in the machine Love this series as you are learning as you go. Keep it up

You should probably use robot arms instead of hoppers, way faster and dont take any space other than a face of the machine

You can make circuits more efficiently in the assembler I was not sure you knew that scinsce you didn' t show making the circuits.

Using the default green channel on conduits is usually bad practice as you’re far more likely to accidentally insert or extract items to/from newly placed conduits (EDIT: not getting into the habit of picking a channel could also lead to accidentally mixing multiple processing lines on the default channel if they ever connect). Could range from the minor annoyance of clearing junk from a machine input to complete disaster having important, expensive items getting destroyed in, say, an arc furnace, or having the wrong fluids enter a processing line that you don’t notice until suddenly and entire wing of your factory is at a standstill waiting on plastics that’ll never arrive. Also, nice resource pack :D Currently using mostly the same one, but with a more recent version of Zedtech for everything except ores and their immediate products like ingots and plates, solely because the version in igblon’s pack has broken textures for active firebox casings on the large bronze boiler ;u;
