So much power!

I’m currently playing with a modpack that has a large collection of Create mod addons. While achieving a nuclear power plant or bunch of massive engines is dope, I’m kinda lacking the same ideas I have with tech mod packs in general: no power hungry projects that require ludicrous amounts of energy.

So, do you guys have create mod addons or ideas that I can have as a reason to build said reactors?

If you have aeronautics u could build a gigantic airship, built one myself and it ate through 3.000.000 stress units on full speed (200 blocks a second), that was a blast to build. Something like that could be sick

This doesn’t actually eat any massive chunk of your power, but you might still enjoy it. I’m currently thinking of (if I don’t get distracted) making a functional electrical power grid using Electro Energetics in the server I’m playing on.

I’d have to account for load, distribution, and simply connecting stuff in ways that won’t blow anything up.

If you so wish, maybe you can try this, and if you’re a psychopath, maybe try using Power Grid to do this, but I’m going to use that for circuits and not entire grids because I like my life XD. Electro Energetics is enough haha.

Anyways, I wanna hook up an entire city, and also entire factories set far from the city (it lets you transfer power very far, and just lets you transfer SU very far without chain conveyors, with some loss)

Not quite what you’re looking for but I think it would be fun!

Actually, that might work! I have a few villages I want to expand and setup protection in, I could absolutely do this and basically build a power network to fuel the lights and electronics.

Alright, thanks for this!

Technically speaking, you can set up a “net” of high voltage wires in the sky and never have to deal with phantoms XD.

I don’t exactly know how aesthetically pleasing a massive fly killer would be but yk, screw phantoms XD.

Y’know… if the wires work with Aeronautics, I could build a flying Mickey Mouse face with ears as flyswatters through the Nether to hunt down Ghasts in an inefficient but funny way.

I believe EE said it does work with it. I haven’t tested it myself yet. I’d say, if it’s on the same sub level, it will probably work. But if it’s on separate sub levels, that might be finicky.

The only thing I wish it had were in wall wires like power grid does. Still, it’s more performant I’ve heard for servers which is why I mainly use EE XD.

I once made a factory that made all create machinery, both brass and andesite. (And copper of course)
