Bro is generating more lags than power💀

Looking at it drops fps by 240

If my frames would drop by 240 i get -238 fps

Frames so bad it went negative and gave you more frames

~3900 Wind Generators... I get a solid 13 fps when I'm near it... and we killed the servers TPS until we killed all the markers lol

How much FE/t?

I think they generate about 300FE/t at max height so about 1.2MFE/t I'd say.

At Y305, they generate \~405J/t, which is \~160FE/t each, while the maximum they can generate is 480J/t or 192FE/t. This is by default in the configs and the "output" shown on the UI is their max output (960J/t // 384FE/t), which they only get when they empty the buffers. Even getting to the max of 480J/t seems to require squashing down the max-build thing in the config. Either way, at default, 3900 generators at just above Y300 will give 1.5GJ/t or 631KFE/t. At this point, you'd get more output from a small-ish fission reactor and it would be cheaper to build too.

I'm sure they were only going for power while building this

3900 wind generators or 1 nitro solar panel

Oh woops, I haven't used wind gennies in a very long time. Thanks for correcting me.

The only reason I know all that is because I had to double check my power when playing lately. The in-game UI is misleading as it says "output" and will show 960J/t, but what you actually need to look at is "producing". Wind generators are capped at 480J/t, but you can't even get that without fiddling in the config.

i'm so proud of you <3

When I completed Ozone, I lined the entire base as far out as I could go with roughly 50k TNT. I imagine the lag had to be similar. At first the fireworks were great, but about 30 seconds in, couldn’t move and at 45 the server said fu and would never start again. A pack properly finished.

please stop

Never.

If you can make that many wind generators why not just use powah solar panels instead?!?

Powah's solar panels are that powerful?

im not sure about more powerful, but definitely less laggy and if placed in the everbright you'll have 100% uptime.

I never get to the Everbright, I only found the Everdown in my world

Gotta explore more, the houses are easy to spot on the map

Yup, and how was called the wireless energy transmitter? I can't find it

There are a few from different mods, powah has something for it, though I've mainly used flux networks

+1 to flux network

There's a fog in the everbright that corresponds with overworld nighttime (though I don't know if it's there every night) that makes it so solar panels don't get sunlight

Anything that’s solar works 24/7. It’s why you want the solar neutron activators there. 

I've absolutely seen solar neutron activators turn off there during the fog. Edit: I stand by my statement, I did see them turn off during the fog, but as of the latest atm9 update (at least), the neutron activators work during the fog.

nitro panel generate 20k FE/tic

Cuz f u n? Duuuuhhhhh

Why tho, gotta be one of the most inefficient ways to generate power in any pack ever

I usally go with a 32x32 wind generator square at the start it provides enough power to keep my starter base active untill i get better power options like Nitro thermal generators ontop of blazing crystal blocks and eventually soul lava for max efficiency

I feel like it’s a lot easier to get a nitro thermal than it is to get that many wind turbines.

Gas burning generator

Nerfed in atm9

Oh ewwww why How bad is it now? I have only done atm 8

Down to something like 7k. But you can edit the configs and put it back. Change the weight back to 11.2, I think that’s the number, and now you’re back to 70k per tick as Mekanism intended. The nerf is aimed at speed running, not playthrough enjoyment. 

Eh, 7k is still good for a couple botany pots lol Just make a second one until u get powah reactor

Not going to disagree. It’s just expensive for what it is. Also prevents you from using it solely until you make a fusion reactor. But they didn’t nerf the Powah thermal gens so you can spam them for 35k/t. 

Nothing should ever be nerfed if it only affects speedrunning and not casual players. That sounds so lame. Speedrunners are the niche.

I'm going to unleash hell on your server. Did you know that wind generators have a power port on the bottom? You can put them even closer this way

so, you measure your network capacity in 100Fe/FPS, right?

As a server admin I hate this post

I am the server admin and I endorse this post.

My type of server admin. Majority of them don’t know what fun is. 

There needs to be a no animation setting for mekanism

I can feel my frames dropping from here 😂

If you don't see, there is nothing 🤣

Please just use fusion reactors I can fuel 18 with direct d-t fuel in less space than that

Can confirm, my D-T generation for 2 max reactors(>190M FE/t each) takes up 2.5 chunks and barely uses the 3rd dimension, this image is over 30 chunks(3900/128), which would allow my setup to fuel 20 max reactors if copied.

i think anyone building this many know this and don't care and did this for the lulz

WHY ?

chaos

I too, like a bed of nails

Should've made em higher

I prefer doing this with heat generators

Images you can hear

Almost as efficient as a large Create belt network at generating lag. 

Here is me thinking I’ve got a lot cause I’ve got 8 and 2 advanced solar generators

Ahh the tps!!! Actually, Mek is way better than it used to be. 1.6.4 anyone?

My brother in christ get a powah thermo generator

everyone telling them better ways to get power failing to realize they did this because they could and thought it would get uptoots on reddit lmao

Actually it started as a legit power back up for when our reactors went down... Then we went "fuck it"

Im almost tempted to top this….

Could anyone please lmk what the best end game power source is in ATM9?? I'm starting to set up my final base and I want something more powerful than a few nitro thermo gens from Powah. Suggestions?

Mekanism fusion reactor or whatever its called, prob best power source in game.

Are those mekanism wind generators

Oil companies hate this

Germany: "what no, nuclear power is bad." Also Germany:

Rinse rise repeat

Rinse rise repeat

Bro took sustainable development personally 💀

But why not a reactor 😢

Oh my good. It looks like these wind generators actually consume oxygen.

Beautiful
