Estimate dynamo fuel use and FE/t with the community dynamo calculator (a Google Sheet linked from the official wiki; Unverified: its contents and whether it is specific to this pack). More in Calculators and planners.

How to build

  1. 2 Stone Barrels (160 cobble per minute) into 2 Forge Hammers: cobble to gravel, then gravel to sand, 96 sand per minute for the sieve. — gtceu:stone_barrel, gtceu:lv_forge_hammer
  2. One Mechanical Sieve on sand with a string mesh: 16 diamonds every 40 s, plus quartz, lapis, amethyst and emerald. — gtceu:mechanical_sieve
  3. Lapidary Dynamo: assembler, RF coil + cobalt brass gear + LV hull + 288 mB tin alloy. Each gets one LV Upgrade Kit (4 silver plates + soul infused glass + bronze gear + LV circuit + 720 mB tin): 200 → 1 200 RF/t. — thermal:dynamo_lapidary, kubejs:lv_upgrade_kit
  4. An item pipe filtered to diamonds feeds the dynamos in round-robin. A diamond is 300 000 RF in this pack, so each dynamo burns one every 12.5 s at full power (4.8 per minute). — minecraft:diamond, pipez:item_pipe
  5. Dynamos fill a Flux Cell; Energy Converters of the tier you need turn FE into EU (4 FE = 1 EU). LV 4A = 128 EU/t each; for MV machines use MV converters (512 EU/t each). — thermal:energy_cell, gtceu:lv_4a_energy_converter
  6. Cobalt brass = 7 brass + 1 aluminium + 1 cobalt dust in the mixer. Cobalt: hand-sieve crushed blackstone with an iron mesh (cobaltite). Aluminium dust: LV electrolyzer on sodalite from the Void Extractor. — gtceu:cobalt_brass_gear

Tips

  • 16 diamonds every 40 s = 24 per minute = 7.2 million RF per minute: exactly enough for 5 dynamos with LV kits running flat out.
  • The sieve and its two hammers use about 55 EU/t of that themselves.
  • MV/HV Upgrade Kits multiply the dynamos further; diatron gems (750 000 RF) are the next fuel.
